ive definitely felt like that before... but be careful because i tended to date people who were older... a lot older...and sometimes that can get you in to trouble...
if you choose to look for love in older people, just be really careful..

I can honestly say I know what you mean.
I'm only 13 but anyone will tell you I act, write, talk, ect older than I am. I feel traped. Like the stupid numbers get in the way. Don't worry, hang in there some one while find you and understand.

I've always hated when people assume things about you because of your age...Generalizations, eck You'll get them no matter what age you are, unfortunately

I feel the exact same way. I'm fifteen and I feel decades older. Don't worry, everyone will grow up eventually. *wink*

Kaytaaay [2007-08-25 19:26:25 +0000 UTC]

i'm in the same boat. i think that these comments should be motivational though. there obviously are many others out there who ALSO feel older than they really are. best of luck. :]

When I was a baby, my family lived in New Mexico while my father was working in the Los Alamos laboratory (where they made the A-bomb ). While on a Navajo reservation, my mother was told I was an "old soul."

I looked like a little Buddha in baby pictures. Maybe because I was bald, had a huge head, and big eyes that looked at everything intensely.

I've always felt too old for my age ever since I had a conscious that others around me were different. Empirically, I realize I am more mature and intellectual than others, along with experiences that have aged me inside. But, socially--I have had a LOT to catch up on. Still do. We all have different ways in which we fall behind. It's important to recognize the strengths of others and the weaknesses of ourselves. We are not all so different.

There are amazing people all around us-I'm privileged to be friends with some. I figure, of you can find some, there are bound to be more. We choose to feel alone.

'Tis as if I have gone of a rant Hopefully not.

I very much know the feeling. It can be really frustrating... like you, I have trouble finding people who are within my age range but don't strike me as too immature. I'm hoping that as I get older it'll change, that maybe they'll catch up.

Echoes-of-the-Dead [2007-08-25 01:33:01 +0000 UTC]

why i go for people older than me.
but trust me, there are other old souls out there, and they're not *that* hard to find, i know a few great ones.
you'll find someone

Drago-Vermiglio [2007-08-24 20:40:52 +0000 UTC]

I am exactly like that. most of my friends are seniors or freshmen in college, and i'm a year young to be a junior, but they moved me up. i'm fifteen. i can be very mature for that age, and a lot of people are very under me in their thought. i'm not trying to be cocky, it's just the truth, you know? :/ it's kind of weird. anyway, i feel your pain - my biggest crushes are those much older than i.

tassel [2007-08-24 20:05:05 +0000 UTC]

A lot of people are like that, and in most cases you'll probably find someone older to hang out with, because you won't be able to really deal with anyone your own age.

applestrudel [2007-08-24 20:03:36 +0000 UTC]

Four out of my five best friends are in their 20's. We think on the same levels, we talk about important things, and they never 'dumb down' conversations for me. I'm only 14.

Sometimes I worry too, dear. But every soul has its mate, and you will find yours. You will. Really.

FennecZ [2007-08-24 19:27:17 +0000 UTC]

I feel quite the same. I've always been expected to act a year older since I started school early, but I feel I surpassed that. I rememeber when I was trying to solve some problems involving another site with a group of people, they quessed my age at 20, when I'm really only 13. It somewhat nice to be on online forums, because people treat me the way I act instead of the age I am.

I always worry about that too. I've learned to just quite worrying about it and I'm probaly gonna wait to date until I get out of highschool because it's pretty clear to me I need an older man. I'm afraid I just can't find what I need in the guys around me, so someday I'll find it elsewhere. Until then, I'll just enjoy life. I think that will honestly be the best thing to do.

take it from a girl who just had her 20th brithday....has had an old soul heart since she was a child and had never found any such thing as love in my life because my ager and my heart never line up.

you're not alone; and that pains me for you all the same

TreuVonTrapp [2007-08-24 16:52:33 +0000 UTC]

I was the same way for awhile. Don't worry, you'll find someone. You're only 15... you've got years and years ahead of you. There are other people will old souls, and I'm sure you'll find one of them.

Your body will catch up. Probably not too long from now. You just will have to be patient with it. Everything'll be fine. ^^

PleaseHush [2007-08-24 15:47:53 +0000 UTC]

I've also always felt like my body was too young and my soul too old. So, to balance things out, I like to play with the idea that I'll find love from someone who's soul is too 'young' for their body. Hey, opposites attract.

FunkyLilith [2007-08-24 13:54:25 +0000 UTC]

Have you thought that maybe everything in the world and this universe balances out? You say you have an old soul in a young body, maybe you will find someone older (not necessarily much older, and I also mean you will find them in time, once you have left your teenage) who harbours a yougn soul. Or maybe it is that your soul is mature enough to stay young at heart. I'm 33 and still feel like a child most of the times, and I look after my responsabilites (I have a few to care for) but enjoy keeping that young self part of me.

I also believe love starts at home, in your self. Find that love you long for within you, let it shine and let that light direct the one for you. Good luck.

Sevyn [2007-08-24 13:39:07 +0000 UTC]

I know how you feel, hun. I ended up dating a 17-year old at 15 to make up for how mind-numbingly mature I was in comparison to everyone else my age.. and, even though we're still together, I often tell him to "Grow up" because HE doesn't even match up with me properly. (I'm 17 now and he'll be 20 in December.)
All I can advise is that you stick it out and be patient, and somebody well-suited to you will come around someday Just make sure that you do take some time to appreciate the sillier things in life too, since time for those kinds of things to be acceptable will run out someday. Make the most of being young while you still can, but don't compromise when it comes to love because somebody WILL come along sooner or later

Good luck, dear

Serenity-Falls [2007-08-24 13:33:52 +0000 UTC]

Although I'm a few years older than you, I'm in exactly the same position. You should be proud, you're obviously quite a mature young lady/man. I've always been older than my years, and I think sometimes it can make you a better person. My boyfriend is 5 and a half years older than me and when we first met (when I was 18) he was shocked to hear my age! He thought I was at least 23.

Ditto for me, right down to the age.

Trust me, secret teller, its a good quality to have, and someone is going to see and love that in you.

And I don't think there's anything wrong with it either. I've been through a lot over the past few years and I think that's why I've grown up so quickly. Don't ever let people say it like it's a bad thing, I think it's a good quality to have.
