Yes, I can relate to this. I feel psychologically stunted. I feel like, psychologically, I am still in my mid-teens, even though I'm now in my forties. You are not alone, my friend 
adeadhikikomori, are you in treatment? I don't know your background, but life CAN get better. If you take your life, you miss that opportunity. I respect your right to take your own course. That is your choice. But you could make a huge mistake. Are you in Japan? I understand mental illness is very heavily stigmatized there. I hope you are in treatment or reach out for help. Take care.
I was in therapy last year but it didn't help so i stopped going and no i'm not Japanese but i am learning the language have had online friends from Japan in the past and would like to visit the country someday also yeah maybe i could make a huge mistake and regret it but in the end it doesn't even matter because i will be free from all the pain i suffered through in life.
why would you want to feel older? I felt the same way for a long time, like 16 years old. Lately I skipped all the way to feeling 20/21 at least, but I'm the same age as you. I don't think one should feel a certain age, we Need to keep the inner child, we need to feel young to stay alive and not become prune faced pessimists. I think there is nothing wrong with feeling younger.
