Please help! I think I'm immature?

Question

Well, I'm a really curious person. I always have been. As a matter of fact, I'm a chem major at school. I ask lots of legit questions on here (in different sections) and sometimes peope say I should come back in about 8 or 9 years when I'm an adult. Technically speaking, I am an adult=( I'm not very social so finding Y/A has allowed me the opportunity to ask so many questions..thanks! However, I feel that I'm lacking behind my peers and there's so much that I don't understand. I think I'm esp. emotionally immature. I'm very sensitive. I don't mean to be. A lot of times I try to cover it up but it doesn't always work. Please give me some advice...thanks!!

Answer 1

just be yourself

Answer 2

You should learn to be more social. Here's a couple books to get you started:

"How to Make People Like You in 90 Seconds or Less"

by Nicholas Boothman

"How to Talk to Anyone: 92 Little Tricks for Big Success in Relationships"

Answer 3

A curious person, huh?  That's a good thing.  Stay curious and never be afraid to ask questions, as that is how you get answers.  Being a "social person" may not be all that it's cracked up to be.  Also, being sensitive is not all bad either.  We need more sensitive people in this world.  Just try not to be so sensitive that you let matters way you down.  Be happy.  Enjoy life.  "Let no man despise thy youth."

Answer 4

you have to accept yourself for who you are

Answer 5

Actually I think the fact that you are even questioning it shows a good deal of maturity.

I have found that the most immature people are the ones who go around proclaiming how mature they are.

Good luck on your journey to self-discovery! :)

Answer 6

I'm 30, and still believe this is never-never land! I play computer games and make immature noises for no reason at all!

Don't grow up! Being immature is both fun and awesome!

Answer 7

Perhaps you need some social skills training, which is possible to receive.  Some people with Asberger's tehnd to have some social problems and have an inability to understand social cues or gestures.  They may feel that someone is trying to be hurtful, when they are not.  You should see a therapist, regardless, who can help you better understand how to deal with your hypersensitivity and social inadequacies.

Answer 8

just be yourself!! if they cant exept you thats there problem maybe just settle a little if its immiture things you do just calm them down but dont change yourself!

Answer 9

Don't worry too much about the people that tell you to come back when you are older. Some people just have to be jerks. But as far as you are concerned asking questions no matter how silly you think they are is the only way we ever find out things. Plus it doesn't sound like you are very immature and as for emotionally a lot of people are very sensitive. :)

Answer 10

Heya, one of the best things i ever learnt to do was to laugh at myself. Most of the time people make fun and joke around with you out of affection.  

Answer 11

you are what you are. it doesn't mean that your immature.  

Answer 12

you're not immature at all!  that's great you ask a lot of question! there's nothing wrong with that, especially if you're a chem major!  science is always changing, you need to keep asking questions to keep up with it.  you're not lacking behind your peers what-so-ever.  they don't ask the question to try and understand things.  they are lucky to have you there and just to be there with you whe you ask the question and get them clarified.  I always appriciated the kids that did that in class, 'cause sometimes I would have never thought of it until it happened, or it just made something even easier to understand.

Answer 13

Just try to think through what your gonna ask before asking
