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
Hmm. Well, one isn't easy being an adult ig that's my personal take though
Also childhood did have a few restraints
So one can be free in adulthood.
Deep family trauma / miscommunication
Or they just peaked in high school
Anything wrong with that?
Hmmm
Why do u come at neurodivergent
If someone is neurodivergent they have more problems then those who dont have it
They cant help how they behave at times
Anger issues is normal in females
And mood swings
If people do blame its bc they probably dont have good childhood and cant see proper view and thinks very negative
I dont get u properly
R u ableist towards neurodivergent
Or what u mean when u mention us
Neglect and child ab*se
Can be one
And way worse
Or just cause I'm free to do that
I don't see why one should be all serious all the time
I like kidding around
C'mon, man gotta live the way one wants
What if you cant
And something hold u against it
What could that possibly be?
If some of ur parents
Oh
Was making it difficult
Well, the title says adults
We aren't always bound to our parents forever as adults ig
Yes but normally many parents is the reason
Isn't that normal?
For some to behave certain ways
Idk
Hmm. They do play a role but at one point
Your life is really up to you ig
You get to decide what kind of adult you wanna be
Can't go on blaming the past ig
The present is what matters Nd the future ig. There are times to act like an adult when it counts
Some times one can be as free as a kid
I actually claim myself as neurodivergent
I did that one self evaluation test to see if i do have autism myself
Its 100+ points i think its been awhile
There’s just more emphasis on mental health. We give people more Lee way now, which is a good thing in most cases since they’re not forced to bottle up whatever they got goin on, but it can lead to that lower standard around maturity you mentioned.
Social media also plays into that. People who have certain behaviors most would discourage now can just go online to find thousands of others who are exactly like them. Create communities, and then echo chambers. Refer to the toaster fucker analogy.
High school had become a weird thing now where most do see it as the peak of their lives. A lot of media(anime) places a ton of emphasis on it so it’s natural for people growing up with it to sort of adopt that mindset.
Sure there’s plenty of other stuff but it looks like we’re in a weird place where social norms are squashed left and right. We’ll just have to wait to see how it all evens out in the end before it all gets changed in the next century.
U need to test ur self as doctor
Not self diagnose
Did u not have autism
Or am i mistaken
