I don’t understand myself.

I will be turning 20 years old next month, and I feel that I still act like a child. I do not even dress or look my age. One could actually mistake me for a 14 or 15 years old because of my innocent appearance. I hardly speak to people now because I have developed this intense fear of being judged and having to stand in one spot speaking to another individual… I also fear that everything that comes out of my mouth is childish and that people don’t take me seriously. I no longer feel as if I could give anyone my opinion unless it’s via text message about a subject because my mind seems elsewhere and I have problems recollecting my thoughts when I am speaking with someone in person. Now, I feel like burying myself under a rock and pretending that I don’t exist.

Maybe it’s time for a wardrobe switch. Honestly? The show “What Not to Wear” is great for giving you tips on how to look and dress your age. Extremely good show.

Have you had an incident in your life, where you feel your youth was taken from you?
