Join the club. I'm 23 and haven't had friends since I was 14. So basically I'm still 14.
It's basically impossible not to be a recluse... forever, or die.

If its a comfort Lenb, most 23 year olds i know haven't aged one day since 14, infact i believe that most people with APD are more mature then others their own age, spending way too much self-reflecting and all that....
Unless being mature is about sosial skills and life experience, in that case im screwed haha.

I do in some ways feel a lot more mature than 20-24 year olds I see on television documentaries or whatever (I'm pretty much homebound). But I don't want to be this mature - it's abnormal.

If it was that simple, these forums would be dead.

I hear you too well, I just feel like I have alot of lame/immature thoughts. I think to myself, I gotta break this bad habit of being lame/immature! But its so hard. I also feel like I'm set back in maturity..I don't like being around other people, at all..but I want be 'normal' and be around people. So having a job is hard, especially when you are around lots of people all the time.

Not necessarily. Just because the answer is simple doesn't mean that it is easy to do.

My first post, here we go. I also relate to feeling immature compared to my former peers that I bump into along the way. Being caught in this mold of fear and anxiety stops you from experiencing lifes...experiences which just does wonders for your feelings of inadequacey

I do and always have felt conflicted about this. I have never felt my age and perhaps I never will...
Part of me feels younger than I am... I just want to retreat from the realities of life and be cared for like a child... My responsibilities overwhelm me... I absolutely hate having to hold a job because it's so intimidating to me.
At the same time, part of me feels older, like I have experienced depths of emotions that most haven't and in some ways it gives me insights into things that others lack.
