psychology of a child

>>37208778
I felt that until I was 21. Moving out of your parents house could help. But honestly getting a gf and losing virginity is the only cure, and I'm being serious. That's what's missing

get a job, make money and get a girlfriend

how tall are you?

>>37208778
I feel similarly. I have a lot more in common with teenagers than other people in their mid-twenties. I feel so much less capable.

>get gf
>still play with yoyos
>still play videogames
>still do stupid puns
I just gave up, I'll be a boy forever. I told gf and she said as long as I do something with my life it's fine.

It's called being on the spectrum.

If you're able to function in society/work a job, but you feel this way, you could just have autism spectrum disorder, but you have a normal/high IQ.

that's not being a child, that's being an insufferable redditor.

>>37208889
the difference is that now I don't really care because it will show anyway

How is this autistic behavior?

congrats you figured that out some people I think never do. just get some self esteem and get things done on your own. you're probably reasonably intelligent so whatever it is do it the best way you know how it will probably be fine. you learn from mistakes so that's fine too.

Self-esteem is the disposition to experience oneself as being competent to cope with the basic challenges of life and of being worthy of happiness. It is confidence in the efficacy of our mind, in our ability to think. By extension, it is confidence in our ability to learn, make appropriate choices and decisions, and respond effectively to change. It is also the experience that success, achievement, fulfillment - happiness - are right and natural for us. The survival-value of such confidence is obvious; so is the danger when it is missing.

walking a "grown-up" through basic logic really breaks the spell

>casually studying finance
>working a shitty warehouse job
>ask boss how he manages employee turnover, COGS, inventory turnover, profit margins, and smoothing earnings
>blankly stares at me, and says all he's worried about is if there is profit, and when accidents and shit break he gets mad b/c it cuts into the profit figure.
>mfw a guy successfully running a business for 10 years doesn't know how to capitalize expenses, why employee turnover is bad, or what Porters 5 forces model is.

im 22 and my age-perception is transitioning from child to adult, as you describe. bear in mind that your brain doesn't stop developing until you're 26, so in some sense you really are still a juvenile until your later-20s

not everybody running a business is pedantic and invests heavily in the academic formalisms of business. some people understand that stuff on an intuitive level and make it work, especially in something not-complex like distribution

People with no childhood tend to act like this, an unfulfilled childhood, or maybe abusive parents. Please, check out reactive attachment disorder. I still talk like a child, act like one, everything I do, it feels natural. I was neglected, I had to act like an adult for my entire youth, and now I have freedom I find it difficult to act like an adult.

I'm 20 years old, I'm working, have one more class in community college to get my associates degree, and I start engineering school in the fall. I'll be moving out into a nice apartment that I'm using financial aid to pay for, and soon I'll have my own car maybe in like a month or two. I had sex for the first time like a month before I turned 20, and have been low key and have nearly zero friends. I have to say, losing my virginity made me look at things a lot differently, I walk different, I talk with a stronger tone, and I feel like I understand women a bit more then back when I was a virgin. And when it comes to friends, yeah it sucks that I don't go out as much as other people do, but i kinda got over that, I'm okay with hanging out with people only a few times a year, but I know that'll soon be changing when I move out of my families house and into my own apartment with my roommate.

You live through experiences you pick and choose, each experience, on a certain level, makes you more grown up as you go through life. I can only imagine what I'll be like when I'm 22 and I'm done with college, shit will be a lot different and I'll probably have an entire new network of people I associate with, or I may not. It all depends on my choices. Life is real interesting man, never settle for less and keep aiming for those experiences you really desire, they will change you.

You really like the movie "Good Will Hunting," don't you? See, Matt Damon has great genetics, and that's the only reason why everyone doesn't think he's a tool.

All that shit is buzzwords and filler they teach in business school. You dont need to know any of it in the real world

Move to a different country for 2 years. I'm serious.
You actually have to figure out how to pay residence taxes and get medical care because you are fucked otherwise. You won't be afried to ask permission after that.

And all that stuff is managed by the tax accountant in a private business.
