I turned 34 in june. I still act like im 24. I rarely clean, dont do much laundry, cant hold a commitment, rely on my parents to cook and grocery shop…i feel more mature than ive ever been before but my level of maturity is low. When am i gonna grow up and be a real man?

I’m 53 and act like I’m 10 some days. My first childhood sucked so I’m giving myself a do-over. Lots of fun and I encourage others to give it a try.

Actually you should never grow up.
But it does sound like you struggle with basic life skills which a lot of us struggle with. You can work on a bit at a time
Heres a turtle for your efforts

I’m 29 and I act like i’m 17. It’s not a big deal, honestly. You gotta keep that fun part of you alive.

Well thats encouraging. My dad acts like a kid most of the time to. But he can get stuff done. I just struggle with life skills. I guess its part of the disease

You’re not immature or childlike, you experience some issues with basic life skills that’s all.
I experience problems with managing my finances and getting to places outside of my home by myself.
This doesn’t make me immature.
Cut yourself some slack @pasteyface

I think you just lack executive functioning skills which maybe is not childish but as a result of negative symptoms.

I don’t think about it. I’m 39 almost 40. I’m wierd about turning 40 but don’t care what age I act.
34 is the new 24. My father was more adult at 14 than me now.
