Is it normal that i see myself as more grown up than other people?

Hi,

I've always been this person, on my own. Independent, since primary school. Never really had friends and since the day I went to grade 8 I've been having these thoughts about "why am I so different" than other people. (Now in gr12)

It feels like no one understands me, like I always see the bigger picture in life. Some things can be joked about, other things not. A lot of kids in my school can make fun of people or a teacher, whatever the case might be. I always worry about how that person must feel like? Is this normal? Am I too sensitive or do I care too much?

Is It Normal?

  • I think there's always a lot more to other people than you can realize. Everyone has their own strangeness. Growing up isn't really a thing. Some people never "mature", but those people also seem to have more fun and laugh more sometimes. Who knows? It could be a conscious decision they made to be less "mature". Just be satisfied and confident about yourself and your growth. There's no need to compare yourself to other people.

  • You are insightful. That's good. I was the same way. I just went with it in school. I saw the other kids and i was able to just blend in, but I always felt different than them. It's normal
