Ever feel older then you really are?

[imabrat]

Geez,I could sware I'm an 80 year old in a 14 year old body.
I have a horrible back,I already have a knee replacement,and my hip cracks if I lay the wrong way!
I am just falling apart.


Anyone else ever feel like that?


-BTW,I'm home from the hospital.
And a big CONGRATS to my friend Thomas,he just finished his last round of chemo.
He also has the same type of cancer I have.

Sometimes when I hang out with people my age and they act way immature.

 

[marypops!]

sometimes when i talk about things nobody's heard of... sometimes when i'm ill...

although i'm usually the one who acts immature... though i also am sometimes the most mature (like in Drama)

 

[CrazyChik]

Constantly.

History today really highlighted that. I don't think a blue sea and a sparkling sun is a good background for a power point on slavery. My ideal description of slavery is not 'Slavery is when someone is someone elses possesion. slaves had no choice no money and no freedom. Slaves were forced to work very long hours on unreasonable tasks but they couldn't refuse because there masters would punish them.' I want a good mark on this, i don't care if the rest of my group aren't taking GCSE history, i am considering it and i'm not letting this ruin my chances of being accepted on the course. Seriously is it too much to ask for a little effort and commitment? I wouldn't mind doing it on my own but i want to show i can work in a group.
I've also brought my RE and english books home becuase i want to finish my evaluation on the bar mitzvah statement we were given and draft my newspaper article on homelessness and the issuses surrounding it.
I am however failing miserabley at the whole newspaper thing. I don't want the whole Homelessness in Wales is on the rise and i was asked to find out why. So in order to come to that conclusion i spent a night in the life of a homless person. Here's what i found out(nobody wrote that, that was my on the spot thing but it gives you the general direction they're all coming from.) I want to open it with a descriptive piece then do something like that but a bit different. I put a little [unwanted] twist into journalism

I'm really mature acording to like all my mom's friends. they all think I'm like 16

 

[StitchfansJr]

Sometimes I act really stupid and crack up when I hear people say "That's not funny." while other times, I'm really serious around my friends.

 

[Axel]

I laugh at all the wrong times. I really do. It's my coping mechanism. Like...if you were to just out of the blue tell me that your dog died, I'd laugh for like...two seconds and then console you. It's how I deal with things.

But physically I'm an 80 year old, too. I have a really bad back. I have bursitis in both shoulders, sub-scapular tendonitis on both sides, plantar faciitis in both feet, arthritis and minor carpal tunnel in both hands. My back cracks if I turn my neck just right, my hip cracks everytime I lay down. I spent about 6 months in physical therapy just to see if it was a strain or something (in my shoulders and back), but it wasn't. I take Celebrex every day (an anti-inflammatory prescription medication usually given to people 40 and over...my mom and I share meds!). My ankles are really, really weak. They're horrible. I wore away the cartilage (or that's what the doctors say I did), while I was really young so there's like none there now and it's the same in my knees.

My body sucks.

Sometimes when I hang out with people my age and they act way immature.

that is my issue i get annoyed very easily and i have a wicked short temper so if my friends act at all immature or annoying it sets me off

NOT a pretty sight

 

[Tinkerbell424]

Yeah. Only when my friend's are acting REALLY immature though.
But most of the time, I feel younger then I actually am.

 

[PurpleDucky]

I always feel younger than I actually am. But I can always handle situations with the right amount of maturity

 

[Sparx]

sonya, you're too young to be this old.

 

[you'llbeinmyheart]

I thought I was the only one who felt like that lol even my own parents say I'm really mature for my age... I don't feel older than the age I am but apparently I act older......

 

[HSMndLKfan92]

Sometimes I feel older.
Sometimes I feel like I'm the youngest.

 

[Babyjustrun]

Mentally, I just want to be older so I don't have to be stuck with immature ninth graders. They just drive me nuts, even if I am one of them.

 

[Ms.Squeakers]

Yes,

All the time!


I listen to the best music ever around (50s-80s)

I get all hyped up when i hear "Freddie" and "Mercury" in the same sentence

I fell on my back once so its pretty screwed up from now on

I take it personally when someone cusses at me

I talk about COLLEGES and JOB APPLICATIONS at age 12

When I was 5 i was talking about my 10th birthday party

I get excited when my parents say that were going to a museum

Im passionate about making dinner for my family

I like candlelit dinners (that i make for my mom and dad on valentines day and their anniversary)

I like to wear high heels (not decorated just plain black)

I get excited about wearing my band uniform (black skirt, white blouse)

I talk about investing money

I talk about what Im going to do when my hair turns gray

I talk about where all my personal items will go after I die

 

[DramaQueen]

I dunno if I feel older than I am, I just feel like I'm stuck in the wrong time.

I listen to music from the 1920s-1950s, I adore their fashion, I worship their stars, I watch old films. I think that's where I belong.


But I do think I'm an old soul.
There's nothing I enjoy more than curling up with a cup of tea with my grandparents, and just doing grandparent-y things.

I don't actually FEEL like I'm that old, I just enjoy their lifestyle

 

[MadameLeota]

Eh, nah...not really...

I'm too immature at times...I'm 20 and I still do stupid stuff like take peoples antennas off their cars (ooh they get mad...lol)...but I think it's just more that I still know how to have fun, even though it's stupid fun.

 

[BabyPiglet]

All the time. And I hear it constantly from my friends.

I'm always talking about college, what classes I'm going to take, what I'm going to major in, what the teachers and atmosphere will be like. I love going to the campus and just walking around. My friends tell me I need to slow my life down, but I feel like I'm not getting there fast enough.

I have always felt older and I've always blended better with adults. I prefer adult conversations. Sometimes I wish I could just stop being a teenager.

...But then again, other times I'm scared to grow up.

Physically, I'm pretty much still young. I have awful migraines about once a week, and occaisonally my back will hurt, but nothing super awful.

Btw, Sonya, Congrats on Thomas! Feel better.

 

[Cassidy]

Nope.

 

[xo juicy splash]

Not really. XD
I'm pretty immature at times.
