...lol at topic.

Anyway, when you age, do you ever feel older each time or do you just feel nuetral towards your maturity?

For me, I still feel like a kid sometimes. Though, lately, with the therapy I've been going to and plus wanting to get out more to see the real world... as helped me mature a little. XD

I know when I turned eighteen, I felt older but then... I think once I just got older and older, it once again became the same feeling each time. D:

I feel old every time I stop and realize that there are people in the Pokemon fandom who weren't even born when the series came out. sdlfjsl ;_; *shakefist at xkcd*

Anyway, I joke with my friends about me being old a lot but otherwise I don't really think about it. :( I certainly don't feel 20. I guess since I'm still bumming around in school, it doesn't really matter that I don't feel as mature as I probably should. But when I'm working, it sometimes hits me that "hey, I could probably just be doing this for the rest of my life and that's it" and it's kind of depressing. But I'm not sure that really answers the question. :( I was actually really, really bummed about turning 20 this year. Ick, no longer a teenager. XD;

When I gain another year...I never really feel older to be honest. x3

Really, my maturity just comes naturally, and I tend to not notice it...it sneaks up on me. x33

That being said, I never ever let go of my inner child. I love my inner child, and do enjoy just being silly every once in a while...but my problem is that I simply can't let it out unless I trust the people I'm hanging around with.

So yeah, If I don't like someone that I'm around, then I generally act more maturely.

Well..turning 18 and 19 were pretty exciting to be honest. My 20th birthday, on the other hand, was my most dreaded birthday ever. I guess it depends on whether I get anything for aging like 18 and 19. I don't think I'll mind 21 to much since it makes trips to the states easier although I do expect to start feeling really old past that...I hate aging :(.

Turning 18 was probably the biggest for me, and maybe 20.. xD; but aside from those two, it's been pretty much the same. I know I've changed in some ways and like Lightning said, I realize how old I'am when I see Pokemon fans here who weren't even born when I got into the series, but eh. >_>

My last few birthdays have kept my feeling pretty much the same.. I'm the oldest out of my friends, but no one ever really thinks about it. Most of the time, when everyone is somehow reminded that I'm 22, everyone pauses and goes "Wow.. I always forget that you're not 18." I do too sometimes, except for on here where my age is shoved in my face, thanks to my postbit. xD

I never felt the onset of age until my eighteenth birthday hit. I mean, I guess I felt gradually more mature, but it wasn't quite as drastic until that point. Right after my birthday I quickly learned I was the one who had to sign for everything, bank accounts had to be in my name, I had insurance to pay for, and my university wouldn't discuss finances or grades with my parents when they attempted to do so. ._. Quite a bit of shock there.

Going by how I feel and the responses above, I doubt I'm going to experience that same level of change here in a couple days when I turn 19. I don't really feel any different now, so I'm fairly sure I won't feel any different then. Still, constantly reminds me of my age. I joined when I was a freshman in high school, and now I'm a freshman in college. In my mind, less than a year has gone by. :'D

I just turned 21 last week, but I don't feel like 21. I actually still feel like a teenager sometimes. XD; It's exciting and depressing at the same time. 21 there are things I can do I'm not able to do before (no talking about drinking, but bah I can't drink due to medical reasons XD; ), but also a few things I probably won't do now liked I did as a kid. D:

I'm actually the youngest out of my friends because they were transfer students while I entered uni when I was 17. This makes me realize I'm actually growing up a little too fast since I'll be leaving uni at 21. Not ready for the workforce yet! D:

I still feel like a kid at heart no matter what my age is. I'm not so conscious about how old I am as much as I'm conscious about how old I feel. I think I'm still drifting in between maturity and childishness.

After my last birthday, I began to think about the future. I despise doing it but still. I think that some people grow up to fast and that while studying, you forget to enjoy life. Same goes for work. All in all, growing up has some good points and bad points.

I feel really old sometimes when I'm around my classmates. I guess it's mainly maturity especially when some of them say they don't want to go to university and just want to stay home or go shopping all day.

I'm of bored of my birthdays, it used to be "OMG it's my birthday, I'm finally X Years old", now it's just "Another year, another birthday with friends" *sigh*

Every year I turn another year older, it never really gets to me that I'm actually getting older. My thoughts and ways of doing things had remained the same. However, now being a senior of high school and on the verge of turning 18 next year May, it really makes me think about my age. When I think just a couple months ahead, it makes me say to myself, "Wow, am I really turning 18 next year?" I don't know, age isn't something that bothers me as it is an every day naturally occurring event, but to think that I'm almost to the point where I will be considered an "adult," the thought just seems kind of scary at times, like a big change.

Well, I'm mature for my age, I have my mind sorted and I know what I'm doing.
Unfortunatly, that only goes as far as education and life, but when it comes to real people, I have no idea what I'm saying or what I'm doing.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm just a 14 year old boy who knows some big words.

way to make me feel old here. I still won't reveal my true age, but I can definitely say that even turning 21 didn't make me feel all that old. it's worst when I'm talking with someone younger and they don't get one of those old TV references (like I was in a group the other day and someone said "Kiss my grits" and those younger than me didn't get it)

I still feel like I'm twelve. Why does 17 -> 18 seem like such a huge jump?
Oh, should I answer that? Alcohol, buddy. Makes your life a dance. (unless you're in US, I've heard it's... 21 there? Really?)

I feel older when I'm on here and see all the 12, 12 and 13 yr olds here xD
Sometimes I start posting or talking to someone, and only some time later on checks their age. Whoops. A kid. Oh.

I don't feel old though. Maybe it's due to most of my friends, workmates and coursemates being a couple of years older than me so I'm always "the little one".

On PC though. I do feel a bit old sometimes XD I'm not THAT old ;; I'm still a teen. And... age is just another number. Right tcti? 8)

First off, I totally read that title wierdly...
Regardless, my thoughts. When I age, I never feel any older nor do I feel any added sense of maturity. It's not something I dwell on. For me, it's always been the things in which I have experianced, the that people I've met and the lessons I've learned. The age old saying of "You are as old as you feel" does make a great deal of sense also, to judge someone on age is one of the most shallow things I see every day. I've never stopped to think, say and analyze my age, I've gone through things that grown men and women have not, men and women who may be deemed perfectly mature and grown up. Many people my age will say the same. Your age is calculated with the things you've done, the people you've loved, the days you've left behind but rememered throughout your life, maturity grows with essence, and with that we all grow old by our own accord. No date can signify someone's maturity, or how old they feel or act. Let me echo the echo here and say, "Age is merely a number".

Age is not a factor for me whether I should (or do) feel older/more mature. There are moments in my life when I feel like a five year old, and others fifty, depending on the situation I am in. This is true for me especially because I am younger than most people in my grade in the schools I've been to, yet I feel older than most of them a great deal of the time. I have, however, developed a habit of telling people to get off my lawn frequently in the past year.

It actually depends on the situation.

I feel old at work sometimes, when I realize that while I look younger than most of my co-workers, the majority of them are actually one or two years younger than I am. And sometimes I feel old when I think about the past. But, for the most part, I realize I'm still pretty young, and, to be honest, I probably still act it most of the time.

Every year at my birthday I go "oh yay. Another year of not feeling any different." My next birthday might be different since I'll be legal to drink, but other than that, I don't foresee it changing any.
