At 24 I Still Reason Like Teenagers. by Nobody: 12:04am On Nov 10, 2022 |
I don't know whether it's due to the fact I'm an introvert or maybe because I have lost connection with most of my secondary school friends.. to me I feel I'm just normal but people always tell me I don't act mature.. something happened today where I work,I have a colleague who is 17 years old, he somehow has a huge stature you will think he is around 22, somehow I became friend with this guy, not until today we had a discussion that made him ask for my age,I said 24 he was surprised and said wow. I said do I really look that young, he says not really "but the way I behave". He pain me, but I just comot eye. I also noticed I crush on secondary school girls sometimes,I will feel as if we are age mates, I even feel as if I'm age mates with the lil boys still in ss3 at time. And I believe this is due to the fact I couldn't secure admission since I finished secondary school in 2016,I just got admission this year but I've lost interest already cuz most of my mates are done with school. And I still thought to myself today that if I go to school now,I will start mingling with underage and my mind will be growing at the same pace with them. I'm not happy at all. I need your advice please. pardon my grammatical errors. 29 Likes 1 Share |

Life is a journey, not a race. You see how cars, buses, bikes and pedestrians use the same road but end up in different destinations? Well that's life. Also, I've gotta question your motivation and seriousness to get educated coz getting admission into uni at 24 is no biggie. Who cares if your classmates are older or younger than you are? Fix your mindset. All the best 187 Likes 7 Shares |

brightmorningst: Truly, your reasoning is like that of a teenager whether you are an introvert or not. You are not too old to study in the university, you may have some mamas as coursemates. So grow up. 91 Likes 6 Shares |

While mine has been the reverse people always think am older.. stop talking too much bro it's not good you might end up saying stupid things. Read more, make friends that are older and have sense. Stop all those your unnnessary jokes. Stop being friends with teen-agers your target should be those older... But those older will associate with you is they see you have sense so read read and read 42 Likes 2 Shares |

Like someone suggested, read books. Self help and spiritual texts... Make sure you read atleast 5-10 pages everyday, thank me later - Subtle art of not giving a f**k - Power of Subconscious mind - 48 Laws of power Then study Carl Jung teachings 49 Likes 8 Shares |

brightmorningst:the secret is think before you talk, mine I always look way less mature than my age but I think and reason way beyond my age when I was a teen plus education is what you want to achieve and not base what others think or feel. So people we have achieved all they want in life, build house, buy car have children, some retired others successful business yet still choose to go back to school just for fulfilment yet you are here complaining. 11 Likes 1 Share |

You just have identity crisis. You need to discover who you are. I was in this shoe until I started reading books on self development. And pls don't mention introverts cus that behaviour has nothing to do with us. We talk less, listen more and act. But if na because you dey watch cartoon, omo! that's not a problem cus as I dey like this, I still dey watch it 47 Likes 4 Shares |

The first house in a street doesn't mean it will be the most beautiful. Focus on your future and dreams and the sky will be your starting point. Don't look at where your mates are, Just focus, focus , focus on where you are going. See you at the TOP. 16 Likes 5 Shares |

you maybe right about one thing which is exposure,if you hardly get involved in conversation it Stunts on your level of maturity and mental development in general, because without communication you dont get feedback which is necessary for mental growth and general development or maturation.so its expected that your maturity process would be slow.tho some introverted people are good observers but in your own case its about your area of focus and choice of interest, which has stranded you. 13 Likes 1 Share |

U have already placed a barrier against yourself which is very dangerous. When I gained admission to study at the University,I can say for sure that I met people who were my uncles age,my mums age and they all had confidence of themselves and they were bright as u. Even after University,I met three of my seniors who are currently on the same grade level with me in the office today,funny enough one graduated when I was in 100level and the two others were just three years ahead of me and today,we earn the same salary,talk and even chat as if we are mates. This life no be first to finish oh. Brace up man and look forward to becoming the real man. One of my room mates called Emeka (surname withheld) was already 42 when were in school yet,he never killed himself because he sponsored himself till he graduated. Your future is bright only if u can stop doubting yourself and what the future holds for u. 16 Likes 3 Shares |
