Are you still your school self?

[never began]

I have the same maturity as a middle schooler. Not that I'm impulsive or anything like that, I just have no idea how relationships with women or even friends really form. In my mind it's still a weird thing adults do. If I were to get a girlfriend today I would literally be unable to interact with her at all, besides maybe things I saw in movies and shows.

I have the same experience with romance and social interaction as a middle schooler. Hell these new zoomers heavy mog me in that regard. I was transfered off schools in middle school because of heavy bullying, even from my teachers. I was driven off my highschool years because of bullying too. I haven't been able to have had a normal life at all. I'm still the same child I was sitting in a corner alone eating my school lunch because I've never been allowed to grow.

People expect you to have the same years of experience they do in social situations but I'm a total beginner, and yet, an adult now. Any mistakes I do just tax me as a freak loser when I have no idea what I'm doing. It's either you hit it off young or you never crawl out of this hole.

just a hollow shell of what I used to be. I was a lot happier back in the middle school days when I still had hope.

 

[SoycuckGodOfReddit]

no

 

[Regenerator]

I still look like my school self.

 

[Darth Aries]

Yes

We’re stunted from being gatekeeped out of teen love.

Yes, I'm in a similar boat, I was always an outcast with no social skills, my life from the start has just been a long string of humiliation and rejection from everyone.

 

[XtremeMax]

i dont think my mind has changed since i was 13

 

[Sonicfancel]

Yes. Growing old and not growing up.

 

[go2sleep]

Partially, but I've also moved on in many ways. Working on the rest

 

[go2sleep]

How is that even possible?

[aspiecel_1111]

No, at that time I wasn't burned out from all the failures yet and wasn't missing so many social skills. I jestermaxxed in middle school and deceived myself that I somewhat mattered to people.

 

[XtremeMax]

How is that even possible?

lack of life experience and my personality never really changed i guess

 

[go2sleep]

How do you feel about that?

 

[XtremeMax]

How do you feel about that?

i feel sad about not living a normal life. im not sure why my personality stayed so similar.

Tbh it is strange.

 

[Mecoja]

Im the same socially awkward qiet guy and i dont feel any more adult, still love much or less the same things, growing up is a lie, we just become more dead from inside.

 

[Minamoto]

+1 for the effort post. I can relate to a lot of what you said. I think I'm personally a blend of my teenage self and child self, never really maturing past that point. I also never really understood how healthy human relationships worked because I was mostly either bullied or ignored.

 

[EternalStorm]

Pretty much. Being 34 myself I'm not really all that different from when I was in middle school and high school

 

[anotherwastedlife]

no i'm depressed, stunted and angry now all of the time. i used to be the funny kid

 

[pixy.BELGRADE.cel]

Yes thank god. I’m no where as autistic as my high school self

 

[Acorn]

I'm much more lonely now compared to my school days

 

[Sloth.Belgrade]

I'm similar to my high school self with some differences

 

[reveries]

I still feel like myself in highschool, even though I'm way smarter now and I have way more life experience, being in my early 30's. I guess that's because my interests and psychological needs are kinda still the same, and the traumas, phobias and autistic tendencies, I never moved past all that.
