I feel bad and discouraged about myself.
I wanted to make this long weekend coming up special for F cause we actually have some cash to go away. I decided to ask my friends if they had any ideas of how I could make it nice. And all they did was crack jokes at my expense.

If they were guy friends, whatever, to be expected - but I asked my female friends and I actually really wanted the help.
I guess I get it. All i ever do is joke, I'm never serious with them, so that's the dynamic we have established. I don't get all touchy and serious and dramatic like I do on here. And tbh, I don't think they see me as very mature...I don't take a lot of things seriously, I look young and I dress like I am young, I'm very "light" all the time, biologically I'm 27 but in every other respect I'm like a high school boy and I know I am different from my peers in that sense.
But I can't help it. This is just how I am - it's my personality, it's also the level I am at emotionally for now because of the things I have been through.
I just want to feel taken seriously for once, especially the one time I open up personally to my friends. I may seem younger than I am, and I may be a jokester, but I think I have my life enough together to deserve that.
