Feeling like a child in an adult body

Is this an ADHD thing?

[โ€“] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 months ago

i think it just generally happens with neurodivergence, there can be a lot of infantilization and since society has few considerations for differences it's more difficult to be self-sufficient, which makes you feel less adult.
