You know, I've just realized that I didn't add my age to my forum profiles, both here and on SB.
1) I have no idea why I did that. Excessive Marxist paranoia, maybe?
2) This has literally never came up before, until just now, when someone has called me "young one" in PM, while apparently being only 2 years older than me.
...is there such a thing as "age identity"? Do I sound/act like I'm that significantly younger than I actually am? Why does it bother me so much?!
I haven't caught up with the thread but...
You've sounded so happy and energetic lately. Though you've mentioned why, it still makes you sound kinda young - in the best way - to jaded ears

I'm actually getting a similar rush of energy, manic maybe. I *was* using alcohol to chill so I could focus on work, but now I'm going on long walks or dancing to loud music or otherwise put the energy to good use! I'm also posting somewhat weird things, with no excuse - and little regret.
We've both had a lot of weight lifted off our shoulders recently, yeah? (:
Fakedit: Oh jeez thread's moving faster than I thought, but I gotta go. Running out of daylight!
Oh, that reminds me of another reason why I don't feel all that old!
I never drank alcohol, other than that one time, by complete and total accident. Not that I want to, or even intend to do, like,
ever - but it definitely makes me feel like I'm still in school. Hell, some people already start drinking in school!
Figured out the reason why that "age misidentification" thing bothered me so much. It's because it has triggered my "self-creepiness" detector.
You see, the particular PM in question (not on this forum) was, definitely slightly more, uh, roleplay-ish than I'm used to. And there's also this big yuge negative stereotype about, you know, creepy old men pretending to be young girls on the Internet, and while I'm really all that old, it still has triggered my sense of "what the fuck are you doing you indecent person".
Apparently I still have a sense of shame, how weird~
