loverage21 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I still think and behave like an adolescent a lot of times, even subconsciously without fully noticing. I am 21 now and am not a teenager anymore. There are guys younger than me that are more mature. There are guys my age who are married and/or have kids of their own already. How do I let go of this mindset and start viewing myself (self image) as an adult? Link to post Share on other sites
xxoo Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 What does an adult your age do that is different from what you do? Forget about what he thinks and feels for the moment, and identify what he does. Model after the example. Do what an adult does. Spend your time and your money as an adult does. Your mindset may follow your behaviors. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
No_Go Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Focus more on what you want to achieve in the future in stead of the present moment gratification. Also, I found it helpful to communicate with older people or just people with more "mature mindset" (even the same age as you).

carhill Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 OP, could you provide some examples? In general, responsibilities of independent adult living mold one's personality over time. Sometimes it's easy, sometimes 'hard knocks'. Everyone is different. Link to post Share on other sites
