Signs that you are immature for your age

Post Reply New Topic

Let me start with myself:

I am 42 years old

(1) I cannot drive. I have a phobia. It scares me.
(2) I am not in a relationship. I am not interested in relationships with other people.
(3) By US standards, I am immature because I live with my mom and grandma, but I am in Panama, and many singles do that. It is easier to pay the rent that way.
(4) One of my hobbies is collecting toy trains.

Well, I guess I can add to this.
1. Not in a relationship. Thinks sex is yucky, so still a virgin.
2. Still plays video games.
3. Still plays his high school instrument - guitar.
4. Still hates talking on the phone. (Well, not really a childhood trait, but there's the general idea of non-adult or non-grown up behavior).

I still watch cartoons
I still watch the disney channel and Nickelodeon
Some of my clothes are from those mall stores that teens shop at (no blatant advertisements on the clothes though)
Cry a lot
Not in a relationship but I do want one and experience sex

1. Collect toys
2. Watch cartoons and children's movies
3. Live at home with parents
4. Still a virgin, no desire to pursue a relationship or have sex

I'm 49 years old but I don't think like a woman of 49 does.

Never had a relationship and not interested anyway:
I Still like to play on the swings:
I still like reading children's books:
Look to young for my age:

I'm only 24, but got my childish moments I suppose.

1. I think my booboo's are more important than your tiny whatever life issues. I NEED ATTENTION WAHWAH.
2. I think I'm always right and if you don't agree you're a poopyhead. (Because I don't talk about stuff I don't know I'm sure about. )
3. I pretty much still run to my room angry and slam the door after arguments with my parents.
4. Scared to death to talk to girls (I'm interested in) to a point of puking alla Stan Marsh, still exact reaction as I had when I was a young boy, although I got asked out by girls a couple of times and sweated/puked/bluffed my way to some first dates at which point I settle down and they start understanding me a little. (I never threw up on anyone for real, or in sight of anyone for that matter as in south park, I hid it well, but it happened, although they may have known but just have thought sweet in some way or whatever okay I'm rambling next point.)
5. Cleaning my room. (Although I'll argue to death it's some kind of ancient caveman nesting urge that makes me cover the ground in soft things to sleep on.)
6. I always want to have at least one more than everyone else, but this time managed to cheat myself to a second!

-no relationships ever
-still live at home
-still a virg
-used to collect toys
-enjoy cartoons of my youth
-not a success
-can relate to people younger than me, never my age

all I can say is that I am 27, but mentally 15. I am an adult on the outside though, but inside no way. What I see is life just screaming by and me not knowing what most know in regards to relationships when they are 13.

1) am 27 years old and still live at home and am dependent on my mom financially- just go to school part-time
2) my mom still cooks my meals and pays my bills
3) half the time irresponsible-bad with time-miss or late for appointments
4) no relationship-only one friend and refuse to go out with her friends (though had relationship in the past-not a virgin).
5) watch cartoons and children's movies
6) mostly read teen fantasy novels -though now I'm reading an adult series
7) collect stuffed animal frogs and have children's things ( duck umbrella, hat with frog ears etc.)
swing on park swings
9)cry, scream and hit myself when really upset
10)honesty "the larger part of me" doesn't care or want to change (though intellectually know I should) about above traits even if they impede my ability to live an independent life/contribute to society/be a part of the world and socialize etc. as long as I get to read my novels and watch my cartoons and enjoy my life. Now THAT is immaturity!

I would say a lack of independence and an over reliance on my relatives.

I get upset when people are patronising and go out of my way to ignore people who do to prove a point(I've improved since then).

Still play video games and have an obsession over one game not out yet which is considered "childish" outside of this particular forum that discusses the game.

I wear my PJs pretty early in the evening (I do this as I don't plan on going out).

By the way, having a phobia with driving is not immature, the roads are busier than ever these days and running a car can be expensive too. Also not being in a relationship is not immature either, one doesn't have to have a relationship to be mature, I actually know loads of people who are middle-aged who are single, and they are in some ways sensible and there's nothing wrong with preferring to be independant without having a partner to rely on.

Ok, here goes..

-I'm 30 and still living with my parents
-I have a poster of Sonic the Hedgehog on my wall
-I still watch cartoons
-I've never been on a date
-I have a non-existent social life
-I play far to many computer games

Signs that I'm immature although I'm 20.

1. Lack of independence and dependence on others.
2. Lack of human interaction & friendships with other people.
3. Not interested in current trends and being old-fashioned at times.
4. Lack of maturity in social situations.
5. Plays video games & watch cartoons.
6. Getting angry and resentful and still hold grudges.
7. Unable to see the difference between real life and fantasy.
8. Close-minded views of other states and people living there. (e.g. Virginia)
9. Being uninterested in romantic & sexual relationships and still a virgin.
10. Lives at home with parents.
11. Envy and resentment for other people and their accomplishments such as successful romantic relationships, having a lot of friends, being popular and having fun.
12. Being upset when people patronizing me.
13. Can't relate with family (immediate & extended), friends & acquaintances.
14. Doesn't want to change or go outside to do something constructive.
15. Doesn't know how to drive and never gotten a learner's permit when I was around 16.

17. Valuing materialistic items over moral principles at times.
18. Being socially inept.
19. Being intentionally or unintentionally rude at times with other people.
20. Doesn't take criticism well, whether positive or negative.

16, but still reaching young adulthood/late adolescence
been called "freshman" about 3-4 times by strangers since school started.
emotionally dependent on others' approval
lack of focus/organization
still argue with my parents over stupid things like showers
make my parents mad over above-mentioned stupidities.
Listen to the same music for the last 3-4 years.

Well here goes:

-I collect and play children's card games (nice little internet ref. there)
-I watch cartoons and like animation
-I like power rangers
-I'm a straight edge (for those not in the loop that means i don't 1)smoke 2)drink 3)do drugs )
-Play video games from my childhood
-I live at home
-not into current trends
-I get along better with younger people
-I can't drive
-Antisocial
-Trust issues

And here's why i'm not worried:
-I have a hobby...and that's great!
-another hobby!
-but watching the Avengers is sooooo much more mature and cool...
-while that's technically responsible, every adult seems to be doing at least one of the three to chill on the week-end and talk about it the next day at work.
-I couldn't play all of them growing-up now they're available for cheaper, that's good since now i have a job.
-Technically i do have good reasons for that. my dad is physically disabled and can't work, so of coarse i have to help him. Also i attend University, nothing wrong with saving money by staying at home.
-more friends for me!
-I always had the choice: School or licence.
-I prefer fewer friends that i can trust.
-Been used to many times up to high school to trust too quickly anymore.

I don't see what my romantic life has to do with maturity. That's just pressure from a highly sexualized media and its effect on modern society.

When i'm at work in the lounge people around my age are going talking about how the party last night was awesome and how they got wasted, other's complain about how their life sucks (all the time), i'm just there with my DS playing pokemon and i'm happy; they need alcohol (among other substances).

Bottom line: Not mature? Don't care!

I'm 22 and I...

Like food that has odd colors (like green ketchup)
I love chocolate milk
I still have stuffed animals (including furbys)
I like cartoons

Watch certain Vloggers and real life Not to be confused with Reality TV* shows to see how they interact, to get an idea of how to "hang" with others and improve in some ways. I don't do it that much these days, since a lot of what's watched isn't helpful, but yeah...
