Were you the kid who always used to hide in trees, get dirty and track mud through the house, and be so noisy that your parents were worried about what the neighbors would think? You were probably a bit of a wild child. While kids like this sometimes get a bad rap for being undisciplined, that’s not always the case. However, you can most likely relate to at least a few of these things.
1. You’re loud — as in, SUPER loud.
You were always the kid your parents had to remind you to be quiet or to use your inside voice because you were loud and proud! You might still be the person in your social circle who sets everyone off with your loud, contagious laugh. Your family can hear you coming from a mile away.
2. You never give up.
You used to exhaust your parents because you were relentless and never gave up. If you wanted something, you’d go for it — and no one could stop you! Nowadays, you’ve still got that never-say-die spirit inside you, which is why your family members probably come to you when they’ve got a problem and need help.
3. You do what you want.
When you were a kid, you used to wear a swimsuit in the middle of winter, much to the chagrin of your parents. Or, you’d leave the house with a bird’s nest hairdo without caring about brushing your hair. While you might be tidier about your appearance, as an adult, you still follow your own tune and do whatever you feel like in the moment.
4. You’re always breaking the rules.
Your motto growing up was, “Rules are made to be broken!” Even though you know that rules are there for a reason, you break societal norms if they’re not right for you. You set your own rules for your life, knowing that you’re the only one who has to be happy with them.
5. No one in the family can get through to you.
When you’re the one causing drama or getting attention for your “wild child” ways, your family members might feel like they can’t get through to you. Yup, you’re stubborn and know what you want, so they’ll have to get in line with all the other people who feel like you’re in your own bubble.
6. You have regular mood swings.
You’re susceptible to mood swings. You can be screaming with joy one minute, and feeling down in the dumps the next. You feel things intensely, and need someone who can deal with your emotional rollercoaster. It’s a ride, even though your parents are probably still telling you to relax and calm down.
7. You’re intensely passionate.
Since you were a kid, you were always passionate. You’d immerse yourself in tasks and get excited about new ideas. You’ve got the same passion as an adult. You get so involved in your hobbies that you lose track of time, and you love life. This is what makes you the fun person in your family who organizes special events for everyone to enjoy.
8. People are drawn to your magic.
The thing about someone who’s called a “wild child” is that they’re charming and full of fun. You were popular as a kid and you’re still a magnet for people today. People are drawn to your fun attitude and charming smile that can persuade them to do anything.
9. You’re fiercely independent.
You fly solo and love every minute of it. Being a “wild child” means that you’re unashamed to live life your way, be single forever, and do your own thing. You don’t need anyone to validate you or make you feel good. When your family asks you why you’re still single, you just roll your eyes.
10. You rarely take other people’s advice.
You’re not the type of person who reaches out to your loved ones for advice. You figure things out on your own and make decisions that feel right. Usually, they’re spontaneous. If someone tries to dish you unsolicited advice, you’ll walk away, especially if they tell you what you don’t want to hear.
11. You’re a hot mess.
When you were a kid, you were always getting in trouble for having a messy bedroom or leaving the house with paint or mud splattered on your clothes. Even now, as an adult, you struggle to keep your workspace tidy and your bed made. You’ve got other things on your mind!
13. You’re the black sheep of the family.
Because you were always a little different from your parents and siblings, you were called the black sheep of the family. It’s now a title you wear with pride, ’cause it proves that you’re unafraid to be different, have your own opinions, and create your own rule book.
14. You have no chill.
Whenever you hang out with your family, they know you won’t be able to sit still and remain chilled. If you’re feeling emotional, you’re going to let those feelings rule you, whether that means you’re angry, frustrated, or excited. You also tend to have tons on your mind, which can make you fidget a lot and struggle to stay in one place.
15. You’re a free spirit.
You’ve always been the type of person who’s comfortable in their skin. You go with your own flow and avoid censoring yourself. You’re led by your intuition, so what your gut says goes!
