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.

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.
