I’m 21 and I’m aware that I’m more mature emotionally and mentally then most people my age.

I’m fully aware that I’m still young and have a lot to learn more about some of my trauma and how to handle it and completely understand that while yes I am more mature then most people my age, I still have trauma and that still affects me everyday. I also I know that this is why I don’t date people my age. I would love to but I know I’m not exactly at the same stage as everyone else. I feel like I’m years behind and everyone else I know is dating or with someone. However, I can’t help but observe my friends relationships or listen carefully about their past experiences and figure out what I think I can handle or what I think is downright just awful.

I feel like I’m bragging about oh how mature and different I am but I’m really trying not too. I’m happy to be single but I still would like to be with someone my age. I just don’t know how to date people my age. All I want is to understand why I am like or if anyone else won’t through this too. I feel like I’m alone on this.

Any advice about this?
