so this happened to me yesterday, i was hanging out with a few of my relatives and we were doing a lot of stuff and we were having fun but i realized that when my relatives talk to each other they talk like proper adults because well, they are, like, they can swear and stuff, but when i talk to them they are like “yea buddy sure!!” or talk to me like as if i was some sort of young person, and even my friends do that same thing, all of them!!! it feels like i’m not part of anyone’s conversation which sucks but well it’s fine!!!

    ok, being honest here.

    i remember you from a while back (old posts) and being straight up, you do seem kinda young and childlike. I do not know how old you really are, but if i was guessing, 14-16.

      The way the post is written reads like something written by someone in that age range too.

        I have a master II equivalent in material science and a specialization in nuclear reactors, 33 years.

        The difference between being* a child or not, as I learned, is the facial hair.

        Jokes aside, people perception of you depends strongly on the way you interact with them.

        That may be your physical age, but the way you type and act online your mental age seems way younger.

        It’s really hard to give you any advice if we don’t know you. It’d really require a longer conversation talking about you and your life, the situations you’ve been in, and so on.

        If you’d like, we could have that conversation, just tell me.

      I’m leaning towards a thought experiment bot at this point.

        While I cant rule it out with chat GPT and AI the way it is today, I remember some of the posts they have made in other communities I’m in and I’m leaning to human. I recognize the writing style on multiple accounts, its unique for sure
