It’s not inherently a bad thing
But rather like lots of people for one example would be talking like they act like they still in their peak HS days or something

  • Maturity don’t seem to be taken as serious as they get older
  • Different Generations Different Era
  • Childish behavior in adults—like temper tantrums, blame-shifting, and impulsivity—usually stems from unresolved childhood trauma, inconsistent caregiving, or a need to protect a fragile ego. It is also often rooted in neurodivergence (e.g., ADHD) or personality disorders like borderline or narcissistic personality disorder. (A.I.)
  • Etc
