/mental/ - Mental Health, Illnesses and Disorders

Honestly OP that doesn't sound too unusual. I'm a bit like that minus the crying to pain part, and I know many others who act like that. I feel like I was a late bloomer and feel a bit immature for my age as well, I have confidence that this will sort itself out when I age.

>I have almost no sex drive (I masturbate though)
wat? That means you have a sex drive though.

>>291
Let me rephrase. I like masturbating but I don't really like having sex with people.

Oh, and my masturbating is usually just to prevent buildup and stuff. I don't really get a lot from it most of the time.

Were you dropped on your head as an infant? A guy I know who's literally obsessed with me was dropped on his head twice and he's 18 but looks and acts 12-13. And he's a ginger so he's pretty fucked.

>>328
No but I've theorized that it's due to child abuse I've suffered up until I was 18 that caused that immature, childish part of me to never mature and blossom. I always have childish interests but sometimes I can act normal and fairly mature, and other times I'll just slip into feeling small, helpless, just wanting to hold my teddy bear and be held by someone and watch some cartoons.

>>336
Jesus. Yeah, you sound pretty immature, and I think theorizing that it's due to this abuse (elaborate) is pretty rational.

Do you feel like you've matured the past few years? Have your parents commented on it? Psychologists?

Have you tried getting rid of your toys and stuffed animals and mimicing adult behavior? Do you comprehend adult themes? Like would you know what exactly you're reading about if you read some heavy book with deeper significance than the denotative story? Do you like any movies intended for an adult audience? Or do you just watch cartoons and stuff?

>elaborate
My mom screamed at me and belittled me every day of my life from age 4 to age 18 when I finally ran away. She always threatened to kill herself and used to leave the house saying she was going to kill herself and never come back. She's hurt me before. Twisted my wrists, squeezed my head, thrown children's toys at me, etc. Her boyfriends have tried to run me over with their trucks, bent my arm behind my body and spanked me with all of their body's strength, etc. My only escape was my grandparents who used to baby me. It was a total mood whiplash.

>Do you feel like you've matured the past few years?
No, not at all. I have a teddy bear that I've emotionally attached myself to and even named. I got overstressed at work recently and immediately felt like a scared little kid and I kept hiding in the toy aisle of the store I work at because it was the only place that made me feel comfortable. Whenever I go to non-grocery stores I immediately check the toys. Even if I'm not gonna buy anything I just enjoy looking.

>Have your parents commented on it?
Never knew my dad and my mom didn't give a shit. I told her when shit was wrong and she told me I was making it up.

>Psychologists
I had the school appointed ones trying to figure out what was wrong with me but they all gave up pretty quickly. Never had a legit professional one.

>Have you tried getting rid of your toys and stuffed animals and mimicing adult behavior?
Yeah, made me miserable. My mom gave away all my stuffed animals and toys and shit when I was a late teen and I was so heartbroken and she was like "you're too old for this." I tried taking interests in more age-appropriate things several times but it made me miserable and it wasn't honest to myself.

>Do you comprehend adult themes? Like would you know what exactly you're reading about if you read some heavy book with deeper significance than the denotative story?
Sometimes, yeah. There's some stuff I don't really get but I do alright considering.

>Do you like any movies intended for an adult audience? Or do you just watch cartoons and stuff?
Yeah plenty. I loved Fight Club, 8 Mile, The Matrix, etc. I also love cartoons, video games, have a love for Chuck E. Cheese that most people find bizarre and my bedroom looks like a child's room. It's covered in action figures, video games, posters for stuff, etc.

Seek professional help, then…

>>350
Can't afford it.

This reminds me of an old high school friend of mine who is now almost 30, wears onsies, sleeps in a crib, and has his gf/"mommy" bottlefeed him in a highchair. His parents were really abusive and neglectful.

OP, seriously try getting professional help.

>>353
That just sounds like some degenerate dedicating his entire life to his fetish.

>>353
I would never go that far, Jesus. I don't identify as a child, I just have a childlike mentality. That sounds like some twisted fetish shit.

>>354
>>355
Pretty much instead of getting help, he decided to "embrace his inner child." He was always immature and weird but that's just a whole other level.

>>360
Whenever I get pessimistic about not being in a relationship, I remember that if the guy who wears diapers and believes he's mentally a 2 year old can find a woman who cares, there's still hope.

i'm not a infintalist myself. just a diaper lover.

I'm not like that at all, the only way I'm childish is my impulsivity and lack of realistically planning ahead. Nothing cute.

I am an abdl though, and I do have a mommy. It's the only thing that really arouses me and it makes me feel safe.
