Maturity level of your femmeself

[AmyGaleRT]

Yesterday, I went out to the mall as Amy while Sabrina was asleep. I got a phone call from her as I was leaving, which she started with, "Where the hell are you?" Once I (hurriedly) got back home, I got a bit of a scolding, saying that I should at least have left a note.

Then, I did something else that might have been a little rash...I video-called my mother, still fully en femme, Amy-voice and all. She looked like she was doing well with it, but I think I freaked her out a bit, because I'd just come out to her a couple of weeks ago. It's one thing to be told you have a daughter of sorts, it's another thing for her to just call up on video. I spoke to her today, apologizing if I'd freaked her out. She said she was OK, it'd just take her a bit to get used to the idea.

Basically, it's looking like Amy has about the maturity level of a teenage girl, whether this is due to pink fog or other causes. Sabrina recognizes this, and has already appointed herself "surrogate mom" to try and keep Amy in line. But it's something I'll have to keep in mind as I become more confident being Amy, especially in public.

Do any of you have a similar problem with your femmeselves being somewhat immature? How did you cope with it, assuming you did? And, if you've been through that stage and already "matured," is there anything special that you did to gain this maturity? Or will it just take more time in the femme role?

Anything would seem mature compared to my male self. Marlene is the adult in this equation.

[TeresaCD]

Sounds to me more like working out the boundaries, always a challenge now this is acceptable.
Don't be so hard on yourself, a bit more clarity through the haze needed
And don't worry - talking to myself too.

[Angela Campbell]

I am pretty much the same either way. I have a pretty good head on my shoulders. Just wish they were smaller shoulders.

[Leah Lynn]

Amy, if I recall correctly, you've been going out just a short time now. I'm sure the fledgling is still exercising the wings. You'll settle down soon and all will be well.

Great thread Amy. Yes, Jules is probably thirty years less mature that her twin brother... She likes short skirts, no bra, likes to drink, is flirty, likes bright colors, drives faster, likes her hair long and blonde, etc, etc... Jules is young and inexperienced, and just a girl having fun. Will she mature...? We hope not...LOL
Hugs, Jules

Isn't it simply a matter of compromising, Amy?

I'm over 60 y/o. But, Sherry's only about 16. So, we split the difference.

Accordingly, I aim to appear to be about 29 in many of my looks.

[Beverley Sims]

Amy,
I am quite often like an eighteen year old, don't let your youth escape you.
Girls just gotta' have fun.

Hmmm .... seems about right. But Michelle being immature? No way!! Just young at heart and making up for missing her younger years.

I never grew up and it is too late to start...for both of us.

[Kate Simmons]

It comes in spurts sometimes, especially if we have a lot of "growing up" to do in a short time. Once we get in touch with the feelings, it's really a skill to shoe horn it all into a life that's trying to fulfill another role. I think we are the ultimate in multi-taskers. If we are successful, we take it all in stride.

I'm fairly calculating and far less impulsive than a teen. After years of making stupid, rash mistakes, I've learned to weigh out beforehand the potential consequences and risks of my actions. I will take a calculated risk, but do so with open eyes.

I’m so alert to danger, or my senses are so tuned to my surroundings, that I have ZERO time for immaturity. Of course, I began to crossdress later than most. OK, I giggle now and then…

[Barbara Maria]

That's part of the beauty of it.When in female mode I look,feel,talk,and act considerably younger.Not really immature,just younger.

[linda allen]

Just the act of dressing as a female doesn't change your age at all. Makeup might make you look a few years younger, but your mind is the same age one way or the other. If your dressing causes you to think differently or forget to do things, you need to work on that before you get yourself in trouble.

[Jaymees22]

I consider myself immature in all modes which is okay. You really should try to be cautious when going out though. Pick your battles wisely and have fun without getting into trouble in the real world. Hugs Jaymee

[Norah_joy]

Linda, I can't agree with you one iota. There is no way that I am the same person when I am able to dress. I do feel younger; I do feel sexier and I know I am a better person. No way do I feel like I am "heading for trouble". Norah

*giggles wickedly* My S/O often calls me her petulant 18-year old lol Eh.... its about going out, having fun all the while doing our best to stay safe
