It took me 10 years to figure out I wasn’t mature. I was just masking some blend of anxiety disorder and aspergers because I learn that if you share your stong emotions you get put in a padded room. It was the 90s. It’s happens.
I would say I wish my dad believed in therapy and medication but I know I would have just told the doctors what they wanted to hear anyway 🤷
Yup, when you don’t have a functional parent or adult around you learn to do a lot on your own.
Then when you’re actually an adult you appear weird to everyone because you’re so independent it’s off-putting to people who grew up with social support.
You also get to develop some trust issues because the people who are typically there to rely on as a child were unreliable.
But everyone comes out the other end different and you realize how important those formative years are.
Being mature for your age is a marker of childhood trauma.
