Is this OCD? I go around obsessing over how I look as far as how old I look. 95% of people say I look like a teenager and I try to embrace it and act that way. My dad says it is retarded, but I don't act retarded. I am in my 20s, but I am more in a place where a teenager should be in their life. That is largely because I never got the right help and that for some reason I was oppositional to everything my parents tried to teach me. I truly believe I have oppositional defiant disorder, but when I have asked a psychiatrist about it they didn't think that I had it.

Everyone is on their own timeline! Ceetain "milestones" are bullshit ! It took me 5 years since highschool to get my associate degree. I also was a very very rebellious and defiant teenager . You can't act "older" or "younger" than what you are. You are simply the age that you are.

Maturity is a mindset, I know people who are 40 and act 16 . You’re still young , but old enough to know some things . Also as an FYI I would not use the R word on here. The proper term is having a disability .

Mentally challenged..Apparently same disabled is no longer acceptable either.
