'When the body got older but the mind remained a child. A place for people who grew up on the outside but still feel like a child mentally (age dysphoria.) To discuss, understand and help each other.'

I have never really grown up. But does anyone, ever? Isn't everyone the same, always feeling like a teenager inside?
I do still find myself at the back of my mind wondering what I will do or be when I grow up, when my adult life begins. I'm in my 60s, so I'd better get a move on!

Just accept you are a late bloomer!

There's still plenty of decades left in you where it may happen!

More batshittery.
Just why a jellyfish? I thought that was the sign of a spineless employer witness at a GC tribunal?

@Grimchmas Obviously would be nothing to do with minor interests, as my friend Michael offered testimony about, and how enriched we are about that.

I'm absolutely certain that there are no nerarious end game reasons for people to identify as children at all. Nuh uh. Nope.

Karensalright · 25/01/2024 23:22

@Boiledbeetle yep

Boiledbeetle · 25/01/2024 23:20

I'm not sure how to feel about this one given I have Smurfs lurking around the house, have a multitude of colouring books and pencils and am currently drinking chocolate milk designed for toddlers!

However I DO have DID!

Lucky the dominant voice is a pissed off woman in her 50s!

Dissociative Identity Disorder
when trauma can cause aspects of self to ‘split off’ and can present almost as separate identities, with their own ages.

Thanks for that

worked with childhood sexual abuse victims for many years, “ splitting off is psychobabble.

You lot are brilliant!

Boiledbeetle · 25/01/2024 23:15

So....

I now know the jellyfish is the sign for someone who is into transage! Keep an eye out for those jellyfish badges!!

What’s a DID please

Twoshoesnewshoes · 25/01/2024 23:08

Is it age disphoria, or more of a DID type experience?

Karensalright · 25/01/2024 23:07

@LastTrainEast 😂could you be phobic. Am feeling upset, and literally murdered by you

PickAChew · 25/01/2024 23:06

Some of them wrote with very biiigggg words fir 3 year olds 🙄

LastTrainEast · 25/01/2024 23:02

Transage doesn't have a good reputation.

Villagetoraiseachild · 25/01/2024 22:51

This is too hard for me to understand and anyways it's past my bedtime.
Maybe a grown up will come along and explain it.

Karensalright · 25/01/2024 22:43

Oh yes am 61 am up for that, do you think as a consequence of my dysphoria i can get NHS plastic surgery to correct my physicality so am no longer uncomfortable with myself when i look in the mirror.

oh wait don’t rich people do that already - privileged bastards
