To feel like a little kid in an adults body

I feel like I’m 10 years old. I really don’t know how to do much. Can’t drive. Can’t work. Can’t pay attention to sports. Can’t read. Too afraid to show myself in public. Scared of losing my living situation. Scared of the internet. Scared about the future. Scared about money. Scared about injury and not being able to walk to the store.

I understand the feeling, honestly. I had to grow up too fast at first, so I’m mature in multiple ways, but I still very much feel like an immature child in an adult body with adult expectations and no clue how to deal with it all.

It’s okay to be a kid again. I’m 34 but my real age is around 6 or so. Enjoy your life.

Your post and replies seem articulate and communicate your concerns effectively. I can relate with most of them. I had to relearn to watch movies and read. I had zero attention span. I still have bad days, but it’s important to me to know I’m making an effort. This forum seems an excellent place to gain insight, confidence and self-assurance. I hope things improve for you.
