I want to grow up and be an adult, but since I was bullied at school and socially isolated growing up (no other kids my age in the neighborhood), my mental and emotional maturity never developed past that of a child, I had literally no life outside of school, and no way to do anything with my free time except be online and play video games since that's all a kid can do alone. I wanted to practice my social skills, but nobody would let me socialize with them at school, and there was nobody TO socialize with at home. Now it's the same thing, just replace school with work.

I'm tired of thinking and acting like a small child. I want to be an adult, but I lack the life experiences needed to develop that kind of maturity and I don't know how to obtain them.

You may never feel like an adult, ever. Even if you do everything right, even if you do all the adult things and have all the adult interactions with other adults. Impostor syndrome is a bitch.

How old are you, OP? It's never too late to learn, but would help to have a frame of reference.

Depending on how much you got bullied you may have permanent irreversibile physical damages to your brain.

You can look it up or even ask Ai for a quick answer but be prepared you will feel hopeless (as you should, there is no going back anyway).
