Feeling the need to take care of someone younger than me?
Posted: Tue Jun 02, 2026 9:24 am
I dont know why but i always feel like i want to have a younger friend that i can take care of and look after and i just think i am gonna be really good at it!
Ever since i was young I'd always stay at my relatives house and all my cousins would be happy to see me and play with me and i was the oldest cousin and it just made me feel happy that they looked up to me and that i was smth important to them . Like those kids wouldnt share their chips with anyone except me!
Unfortunately now i have grown up and.. i became SUPER shy to a point i just dont feel comfortable interacting with any children specially if there is any adults around NOT BECAUSE I AM A MAP OR ANYTHING but like just something inside me makes me feel like I'd look immature if i try to play with kids now that i am an adult. And honestly i kinda hate it because i see other adults playing with kids but i have to restrict my self so i can look more professional infront of relatives and such.
But anyway *sigh* i just really wish i had a younger sibling that i can look after and take care of or like a younger best friend i always think it would be cool JUST LIKE IN VIDEO GAMES TOO like pragmata where u have to take care of the young girl... i didnt play the game yet i dunno her name and uhmm in ace attorney u have to look after maya fey and pearls and i also find that sweet, like man i just wanna feel like a parent and responsible and i wanna raise a well behaved child its really a dream that i wish it comes true
sorry for all the rant
Does anyone else ever feel like that? Wether you are an adult that wants to take care of a child or you are a child who wants to have an older person that u also watch out for them??

Do excuse me. Your never too old to play with kids. Guardians, relatives and neighbors play with kids all the time and you don't see the crowd calling them immature. I mean yeah some people might find it a bit strange if your always around kids, you gotta learn to set up some boundaries in that case.
