My boyf says I need to grow up...
But I LOVE doing anything I used to do when I was a kid. I love eating chewitts, space raiders (pickled onion only pls), wham bars, candy sticks, chomps, frosties, flumps etc..
I love to skip if I'm happy, laugh out loud, play games, watch ants, make things with glue, paint things with my hands, play practical jokes, make up songs, dance in my bedroom (a lot), and get excited over anything.
should I grow up or are you never too old to enjoy the fun things in life? I'm late twenties.

Let go of your 'adulthood'. It's better to skip, laugh, dance and sing than to do boring adult things. You can let go of junk food but don't let go of your inner child. Stay creative and grow into a happy, laughing, dancing, singing mature adult. You're never too old to enjoy the fun things in life.

Well it sounds that you are very bubbly indeed. However since I do not know you I cannot say whether or not it is extreme. If your energy level and enthusiasm for life have not caused any problems for you socially, academically, or emotionally then I would say your pretty healthy! However if your "high energy' caused problems in school such as lack of concentration, becoming easily distracted, and low grades then you may have ADHD and not even be aware of it. Also, if your highs turn into lows and you go from being really happy, "the life of the party" to depressed, irritable, and feelings of worthlessness then you may be bi-polar. The best advice I can give you is the most obvious. Take a good, hard look at your life are you in control of it or does it control you? Has your life been an emotional roller coaster or a fairly smooth ride? I would consider having a heart to heart with family members about how they perceive you and whether or not you are just a fun loving girl or someone who may need some phyciatric help. ..Take care and don't ever let anyone invalidate you!!!..........laceyemerill

I'm 43 and have never grown up !! the problems is people expect you to grow up and stop having fun , why shouldn't things that made laugh and be happy 5 still have the same effect when your 55!! YOU don't need to grow up , HE needs to remember what it's like to be younger again?
PS I am male and as the saying goes "girls become ladies but boys will be boys" so I say to your boyfriend nah nah

No, you shouldn't!! One of these days you will probably be a mother and your children will love you for being able to share in their world. I read juvenile books most of the time: the vast majority of adult fiction bores me to tears as it is uninspired, unoriginal dross! I'm 34 and believe you should Love Life and be in awe of it, the way a child is. I have no love for hatchet faced intellectuals aspiring to act Grown Up.

it,s all very well everybody telling you to carry on as you are and be free, but i do feel a bit sorry for your boyfriend. if i was dating a girl and she started skipping down the road, and stopped to look at some ants, i would probably think you were a bit mentally challenged, so would most people. you are not young anymore, but so what you are obviously a free spirit. maybe you could tone it down a little, but if you are not prepared to do that get yourself a fella who understands you.good luck you crazy firecracker.

Im 37 and refuse to grow up. My GF keeps telling me to grow up. My response was to shave a bald patch in my hair to look like a boring old man. But still acting like a clown. I love space raiders.
Its in your genetic make up you cannot change.
Enjoy

Cherish your Childhood and incorporate it into your adulthood. You can always have fun, just be responsible in your actions.
Enjoy being you.
Share you love with Children by Volunteering some time at schools, community center, etc.

Sounds like your boyfriend needs to chillout. Don't be in a rush to grow up cos one day we'll all be sitting in a home wishing we were young again.

I think you need to teach your boyfriend to appreciate you for who you really are. But of course, even at a young age, we all learn that we need to project the right image at the right time, depending on the situation.
