I am 40 and don't feel like an adult.
When I was a kid, 40 year old people seemed so old "grown up". Like they had their shit together. I look at other guys my age and think, man..they seem so much more mature than I am.

Here I am 40 and I'm still wondering when do I grow up?
I still eat Ravioli's and Pop-Tarts, play video games, and watch superhero movies.

Think of me like the guy in The 40 Year Old Virgin minus the virgin part. I have a string of failed relationships, currently single. Never married, no children. Just me and my 2 dogs.

Although I am responsible, handsome, and independent. 100% debt-free including my house and 2 trucks.

Basically have the spirit of a young person but the ache's and pains of a retired person.

Maybe it's just a mid-life crisis. Or maybe I'm autistic. I don't know. I just feel like a kid.

Does any of this make sense?

everyone feels like that, even 60 year olds, that's why so many adults listen to "authorities" because they think other people know better.

Most people never grow, just get old. Personal evolution is very rare in the consumer culture.

Peace be upon you friend,

Perhaps what you are missing is the spiritual side. Are you religious? Then again I could be wrong.

In any case, don't worry -things will soon come to pass Insha Allah.


Allah (Subhanahu Wa TaAlaa) knows best.

Have a blessed day Friend! hf

Re: I am 40 and don't feel like an adult.
Makes perfect sense.

Who YOU are is eternal and never ages.

Only your body does.

If them young cunts would understand this...

But...we didnt when we were young cunts...

And the young cunts will ONLY understand when they hit 40 and find they are STILL YOUNG CUNTS...in a 40 year old body.

The only change really is just simple experience.

A toddler will run onto the road because it has no experience with them.

A 10 year old wont as he has experience.

So...young cunts do all kinds of crazy shit...some die...and the survivors of the crazy shit turn 40 and dont DO crazy shit anymore.

Why?

Experience..

But we do spend many an hour laughing at all the crazy shit we managed to somehow live through.

Re: I am 40 and don't feel like an adult.
I'm 48 and I did grow up - sort of.

Married for 11 years, kids, a 20+ long career that has led me almost to the top of my profession. I chose not to climb the last rung, because that would have required complete dedication and no family.

Yet, I often feel like 17. Insecure and completely baffled by the world and the people, in particular. I just don't get people. I can play by the rules and get along with people, but I don't get them.

same here op, 39 here and i am in the same boat. i think that we are still young at heart, mind, and thats where the body follows. i think our attitude, outlook, and keeping active keeps us youthful. granted we picked up some xp along the way, we dont have a lot of stress that impact us that causes us to age faster. another thing i believe is that natures way of keeping the human population in check is making smart people not wanting to have kids and thats one big responsibility that drains our life force for sure. just keep doing you and be happy as always, a lot of jealous haters hate what we have. lastly, timing is everything and whatever were supposed to do will happen naturally and precisely when its meant to.

Re: I am 40 and don't feel like an adult.
Maturity comes from experience, not age. You could be 80 years old but if you've never traveled outside your home country, you're likely to be less mature than someone half your age who has traveled to many places. And difficult experiences mature you the fastest. For instance, losing your entire family as a teenager will force you to grow up early.

I feel ya bro. I'm 37 going on 18. I still goof off. I still play outside with my kids all day. I still play basketball and hell, I even have a skid steer that I play with in my back yard like a kid would with tonka trucks.

Being young at heart is a good thing. My children and I enjoy a great relationship. My wife still marvels at my energy. I do get out of bed a little slower and I do grimace sometimes when putting on socks or shoes, but once I'm warmed up I'm just as agile as I was at 18.

It's a blessing bro. I have a few friends my age or a tad older that take life too seriously. They forgot how to laugh and enjoy themselves, or live in the moment. They are miserable and always at the doctors with some new ailment.

Embrace it bro, 40 is the new 20. I can't speak much on the being single part. But I do feel my kids and wife have enhanced my life. I had a long string of failed relationships too but luckily I met my wife when I traveled to Peru. Good luck man. Stay young at heart. The world needs this more than another asshole that takes everything to serious.

Caucasians don't have spirits and can't mature beyond the 3rd base chakra. Which means you can never grow up. What you saw as a child was just an illusion brought on by ignorance of the (fake) "adult" world. You can never actually mature.

You, are silly. The rapidity of growth uses the Fibonacci in caucasians. It is an either nothing, or everything at once event.

I've often seen that in guys who are in their 40's but mentally it's like they can't grow up.
I'm thinking it's a mental issue bc they still act like boys who are 12 yrs old.
I watched a video of a guy who was in his 30's and still lived with his mom, looked like her, and acted like her, too.
It was weird.
There was a black lady he was taping msking fried chicken for them. He just didnt have a clue about cooking or nothing.

I think its mental and emotional, too.
