What do you feel is your mental age?

Question

Let’s be honest, whether you are 67 or 16, we often don’t feel the age that we are. You could be 35 years old, but feel 60 years old physically, yet feel like you are 21 years old mentally.

So, how old do you really feel?

When I joined this website I realized that I'm actually wiser than most of my age and my wiseness (I don't know if this is even a word lol) is more than an average 13 yr old. However if we are talking about what age do I 'feel' about myself then it depends on the scenario. When I am sitting within adults and talking about something like family matter of business matter then I feel like more responsible and I feel that I'm 20. When I am among with kids then I behave like a 5 yr old only. When I am with people of my age then most of them are irritative and kind of annoying so I feel elder than them like around 16. When I am all alone I feel like 13 only. In short I don't know how to feel about myself. Like my core personality is childish, cheerful, cute, innocent and most of the qualities that are found in a toddler but at the same time my core personality is wise, responsible, workaholic, mature and most of the qualities that are found in a wise person. I just feel very complex in this case. I am mature mentally more than my age (not saying all teenagers are immature but most of them are honestly) but still my habits and behavior are like a kid. I will say I feel like a mature 13 yr old only because physically I don't feel old. Physically I feel I'm of 13 only however it is complex when comes to maturity and behavior.

OMG, that's a tough one. I am 65, and I love to listen to "younger" folks music, which I grew up with when my daughters were at home. I also grew up in the 60's and 70's and music was very a very important part of my life. It does keep me young, I would say. I love Queen, David Bowie, Muse, Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews, The Scorpions, LightHouse, AFI, and Bake Naked Ladies (the band, not real ones). So if you ask me what age do I feel--boy, with all my aches and pains, but having music with me, I feel a good 45. That's a good guess.

I knock on wood im in my late 40s in my line of work it's always been a good workout for me I used to race dirt bikes it is sponsored and I always worked out so I've always eaten healthy I've always been healthy and I still feel like I'm 21 I have friends in their 30s who call themselves old men I look at it I laugh I see what are you talkin about and they say they aren't you worn out and I said no I'm not why do you think your old they can't answer that I think it's all in your head I have a younger brother and everybody thinks he's my older brother I think I must have pretty good genes I don't know I can tell you this the faster your blood runs the cleaner it is and it just keeps everything fresh and clean the inside your body if you sit on your butt your blood doesn't flow that's when you're going to start getting sick you start looking old everything but I have good days and bad days some days I feel really really wise and someday I just feel with my hands LOL no I'm good I'm glad that I'm good everybody can be good it's a choice if you feel like you're old then you're going to tell yourself you're old and you're old if you're still young and healthy and vibrant and that's what you are

I don't feel that I have just one. I have many depending on my mood.

SweetFyter · Answer

Love this question. I feel like I'm in my mid-twenties. I like communicating with people older than me and they often tell me I sound older than I am which I confess I love. But it just seems like so many people my age are just (sorry) not too bright, OK? My parents say it's the "government schools." That may or may not be true, but I do know that I prefer to talk to people who, first, can communicate in writing and, second, do not talk down to me. So, yeah, good question!

caitycat21 · Answer

I get told often that I look younger than I actually am probably because I have a baby face still but I mentally feel like I’m way older probably because I’ve just been through a lot most people just haven’t so it’s made me way stronger mentally and physically ✅

Guanfei · Answer

12. Or 15. I'm a child at heart, and I want to keep that part of me.
I'm serious and responsible when I need to be, but otherwise I find most people boring. Always talking about their problems, and money, and politics, and all those boring stuff.
And that stupid idea that after a certain age, you can do this or that, it's the worse. People will refrain from doing stuff they like just because they're "too old" for it.

WhiteSteve · Answer

I’d say like 25. Old enough to be responsible, but still young enough to be reckless. Probably an immature 25 if we’re being totally honest😂

ItsOkayNotToBeOkay · Answer

I'm 17, but most of the close people I know says that I'm too mature for my age.
In our class, most of my classmates come to me when they need advice. And also my 39 years old aunt asks advice from me sometimes. They may be right, but I also see myself as a teenager who still needs an adults guidance.

MCheetah · Answer

My mental age is 25. I feel pretty young at hear. My actual age is 35. But 35 is so damn old and crusty, though. I don't feel that old. People usually mistake me for 45 (or 42-45-ish).
