Being the mature friend amongst the lot really affected my mental state as everyone around me forgot that I am a person too and of the same age,everyone expects me to be the mature one even when it hurts me. At times I see my other friends being stupid and impulsive and everyone let’s them off the hook because they are “sensitive”, “vulnerable” and “immature”. I wish people tried to see me in a more humane way.
I understand and sometimes just addressing things like this with the people around you makes a world of a difference.
