Mm, I know what you mean, but the area where I feel I'm not a real person[1] is the experience, not the attitude or behaviour. I can work on changing my attitude and my behaviour, I can do my best to improve myself as a person, but I can't "catch up" on experience that everybody else had at a much earlier age (or rather, I can have the experience, but I can't have it at the age everybody else did, IYSWIM). I still get laughed at for never having done X, Y and Z that "everybody's done", and that hurts me more than it should do.
[1] I know I am a real person. But I still feel I'm not. Ho hum.
