oh...i'm so sorry that all of that happened to you :(

 

yeah i also feel that some things force you to grow up! and those definatly do!!

 

i remember seeing in somebeody's sig: always look at the bright side of life!! so i've got to say this: at least you are the only person here that feels to be older than actually is!! :)

^I agree with you..

 

Unforseen things are the one who can make you to grow up without you can control it...

 

the only one who feels older? wow!!!

 

I follow the sentence you saw in someone' sig..

Interesting thread Lili! :)

What you explained before makes sense... at least for me, 'cos of the simple reason that people change and persons who are around you are not always the same and you either. Every little experience might modify your way of thinking and behaviour, 'cos you're learning of them continuously.

 

Replying to your question: yes, I sometimes felt my age and mind weren't in equilibrium. When I was younger, I saw most of my mates as a kids (luckily there were some exceptions), 'cos of their behaviour. They were always doing nonsenses and laughed a lot - that was good for them, though - but I didn't see the point of them. Anyway, now I'm 20 and I think that comes an age which most of people have reached this equilibrium.

 

Mike: I've read everything you've explained here and I think you're mostly right. You're a very unusal person. (well, we all know that everyone is different and special, but you... I can't find the words to explain it)

^I agree with you..

i'm really glad you do...don't let life get you down! :)

hi! your name is Iris right? i think we've spoke before :)

 

how old were you when you felt you have reached that equilibrium?

I can't say about my older years, because, well, I'm not there yet! :lol:

 

But I know EXACTLY how you feel. I'm 14 and I feel like I'm too much older than the kids at my school and my friends. I just have different and more mature intelligent interests, and I really do care about school and my future. I can't ever find anybody that feels or is the same as me, so I could connect with them. :(

hey-oo! :)

Yes, Iris is my name and I remember you! We talked about Zach Braff before (And I'm still wondering when the film will be released).

That happened when I was 17 although in one month I'd turn 18. This big change was 'cos I when to Uni and people are different, more adult... and once you're there you're supposed to be like this or in most cases, you won't survive.

ah yes we did!!! :D...i'm listening to its soundtrack right now...the movie will be released in september 15th on the us...there's no release date in portugal (:()and i don't know about other countries...

 

oh i'm so depressed about Uni...i feel so embarassed...i'm gonna start Uni soon and i'm such a child...and i don't look like 18 at all...i don't think like 18 at all...:(

any advices for the first days??

i felt that too at 14!...what i've discovered with this thread is that almost everyone felt more mature than others at 13-15 and since then we all feel too immature for our ages...well not all of us...i'm just trying to reach a conclusion here...

Yeah..it'll be me in five years...:uhoh:

When I was younger..I also felt older from the rest of the kids. Situations make and force you to grow up. I had a flashback a few weeks ago of the girl I was and I couldn't help it but to stare into those eyes. It was so strange, she was so serious, so sure of herself and so so ambitious. Life's has changed me and has left me feeling fragile, insecure, abused but then I get angry. I get so angry that I don't get afraid. I get that confidence again although I'm not so ambitious as I used to be as a child. I guess you could say I found something more important. I'm 21 now and I act a little childish sometimes (the irony) .. it just comes out that way. I think I will always be a child inside, but have the knowledge. I'm stuck in between the two.

ah yes we did!!! :D...i'm listening to its soundtrack right now...the movie will be released in september 15th on the us...there's no release date in portugal (:()and i don't know about other countries...

(Out of topic:

haha, I don't used to listen to its soundtrack, but only to certain songs although I admit it's great! On 15th Sep...? then we'll have to wait some months, I guess, for being able to watch it. I dunno if they will release it here either, but I think if they don't do it in your country, neither will do it in mine. :uhoh: )

 

Oh, don't be depressed, it'll be a change for good, you'll see, and like all the changes ppl are afraid of the future 'cos you'll have to face new things, but it's for sure you'll like it. And doesn't matter at all if you look under your real age, seriously. ;)

My advice for your first days on uni is... try to be open-minded with new ppl (even if you're not, do an effort) while you're valuing if some of them could be your friends, if you see that they've similar hobbies than you and these kinda things. It's good to choose your friends in the beginning. Precisely, it was when I made my best friends and I still have them now. :nice:

And think that everyone will feel the same than you first days, I mean they'll feel like a "newbie", so you won't be the only one. Anyway, you'll have so much fun there... It's another world.

Yeah, it took me a good two or three years to finally feel at home in high school, and even then, I really was friends with kids who were a year or two younger than myself; for crying out loud, last year, I had a ton of friends who were freshmen, including one of my best friends. (The majority of my friends were girls, but that's beside the point.) I've never really felt bad, or weird, or anything negative about it, but it does seem a little odd. So, with that experience, I sort of expect the same thing out of college...

i think i am too (stuck in between being a child and having that knowledge that makes you feel safe and sure of yourself)...is everyone? :confused:

yeah...if they don't release it here i'll order the dvd from the internet or something....but i'll have to wait loads of time!!! :(

 

 

true...i'm scared because it's a change, something i've never experienced before...i'm scared i don't find anyone who i feel confortable with and who i can identify with...but when i went to high school i also had that fear and everything worked out really nice!!! i love the friends i have made there!!

and yeah...i'm glad everyone is a newbie like me...

the same thing? only being friends with people younger than you?

there's no one younger than you there!!! :bigcry:

 

it's nice that you haven't felt bad about it just odd ;)

Concerning the film: yeah, you might have to wait a lot of time, but it probably be worth! Hopefully they'll release it on the cinemas. :)

 

Exactly, it's a normal fear, 'cos everyone is scared about new things of the future but if you had success in high school the same will happen at the University, and even more, 'cos ppl are more adult, so...in fact there's no reason for being worried about this. ;)

^thanks for the support Iris! ;)

you're welcome Lili! :nice:
