Do you see yourself as superior to children?

I don't ever generally feel superior to anyone, adult or child, I try to make children do the right things and chastise them when they need it, I also try to be a friend when they need help or someone to talk to, try and guide them with some of my wisdom, even though it is generally met with typical teenage shrugs. But kids can be very smart and intelligent quite often for more so than adults can, they are generally happy and enjoy life.

So no I think I treat kids like an equal person most of the time.

Probably for me I like the childish attributes of being happy and having fun and enjoying life mainly because I had a hard time as a child in my mind at least (maybe no worse than others but because of my make up it was hard for me to deal with and I don't think I ever did.) and that is why I feel more on a level with children than adults usually.

This romanticism for children is very weird for me; they are basically rotten little things. I also don't get wanting to be a kid or the suchlike. Still takes all sorts I guess!

I for one see children as superior.
They are greater in creativity, agility, flexibility, innocence, and appearance. They are basically perfect, having hardly any infirmities since birth.

There is no older model, that wants to be younger, that could even touch the presence of true youth beauty and therefore I declare that not only do I think they are superior to me and others but they are my role model and admiration.

I think children are superior in many aspects, but not superior in all of the available aspects. Children just haven't been touched by the world's views, they are still a blank page.

Female children are the kindest, most beautiful people on the planet. I see them as superior to myself in most cases.

This is an awesome statement. And so true!

I reallllllllly don't get what you mean. Have you ever meet real children? Reality is a bitch.

This isn't Peter Pan. Real children are full of nasty flaws and lack enough personality to hide those flaws.

The personalities of children are much more pure and untainted by things like inhibition, self-consciousness, anxiety regarding the perceptions of others, etc. Adult personalities aren't really their own- they are constructed edifices designed to project an image of who they want others to think they really are. Children are much more genuine in their behavior, which is why I love interacting with them so much, and unfortunately why I'm not able to fall in love with adults like I fall in love with children.

Okay I haven't mentioned this one before but when I associate with the 12 year old boys that I do not harm:

They read me. And I kind of like it. I need to be read as to destroy anything tainted inside of me.

They create their own worlds that I am willing to sit with them and be a part of. Their creativity is unmatched.

People get bored of them or reject them, and I can't stand that. They know I will do anything for them because I respect them so much.

I agree with this. Children have flaws. But so does adults. But perhaps those flaws are more evident in adults, at least for me
