Why are some people not growing up?

Are you more than one person?

Emoji's arent very adult. You would love the Emoji Movie.

I enjoy having fun and to me that means music, sports and even the odd board game.

And what the hell is wrong with that.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Wow. What an interesting guy. Bet you are a blast on a night out.

I wonder what triggered this thread.

What exactly are you then?

Pining for Love Island

What exactly is that tough?

Tell us a bit about yourself?

Are you single, married,etc?

Is it by choice?

Then tell us about your hobbies and interests?

We need to know this because going by what your posting here we should all aspire to be like you.

Don't get it either. Lads in there late 40ths playing PlayStation watching ainamee cartoons smoking strawberry cheescake vapes probaly flat out on porn hub. Even on nice sunny day.

So the flavour of a vape offends you? Do you get worked up when people eat things you don't like the taste of?

I heard someone else once say that they hated vapers...

Not because of the habit, rather than 6/7 times a day they got a whiff of cake or other treats, only to sniff it out and find it's Keith and his cloud of lies😁

They all smell like energy drinks to me, it's that weird synthetic quality to them. I wonder if all vapes are childish or just the ones thatare supposed to smell like cake.

Thanks,

Sorry if I was a bit of a bit of a git to you in a earlier post.

I think life's to short to care really about this stuff.

I've no real interest in pokemon, cartoons, etc.

I couldn't see myself in a relationship with somebody with Nemo Tattoo for example but I get that some people like it and their happy. They've a good chance of meeting somebody nowadays and they don't have to conform.

I think years ago lots of people basically settled down in their twenties. Essentially married somebody they met and then went to play house. Some of these people were happy but others weren't and wanted different for their kids.

Theres nothing unusual about being a football fan , alot of people like marvel movies ,tv shows , sci Fi action films .special effects cgi have improved a lot any popular sci-fi book or comic book will be turned into a TV show film . The Harry Potter books were very popular with teens so of course they were adapted interesting films .

I remember if you were a marvel fan you had to buy the comic books now you can just watch the TV shows and films

II think now we have social media people wear costumes or talk about what characters they like you can buy comics in shops like forbidden planet

Its no longer seen as weird to be a fan of comic books anime or sci-fi or computer games

Its called being a fan I don't think it's childish or something to be ashamed of

People go to conventions or watch YouTube videos on whatever hobby they are interested in

We have a housing crisis it's a lot harder for even middle class young people to buy a house and get married and have kids young people are staying at home longer to save for a deposit

With big marvel films like the avengers it's now cool to be a comic book fan

Theres a wide range of scifi tv programs

Console games like the last of us have advanced 3d graphics and a complex story with realistic characters that look as good as a sci-fi tv show

Its a simple case of "different strokes for different folks"
Who want's a world full of robots where everyone does the same. Wouldn't that be boring.

Sounds like you want to be the very best,
Like no one ever was.
To catch them is your real test,
To train us is your cause.

Will do. There are so many parallels between this guy and a character in a book we read that we definitely want to try it before we intercede in the bullying any other way. If for nothing else than as a tribute to this short collection of books we loved. And in the book a restored bike was also given as a gift to a bully. So it's kind of a tribute to the book rather than the bully that my daughter is enjoying. Quite mature for 13 I thought which should appeal to the "people growing up" nature of your thread.

In fact those books are also in the category of "For children" but I would gladly and openly recommend any adult read them. Mature concepts and topics are very often infused into the package of things that are "for children" at the superficial level. Hence why I keep mentioning things like Toy Story 3.

The bully himself is a year older than her and significantly bigger. He has not gotten physical yet specifically. More of a sticking himself physically into her general space in a way he clearly thinks is intimidating or annoying. Otherwise he is just a verbal bully.

Should he get physical at any point he is in for a rather fast and rather nasty shock though. So mostly we find his existence and attempts to target what he thinks is the smallest kid around as highly amusing. He clearly has no idea that at 13 she has a decade of combat and martial arts training and gold medals behind her.

We dealt with a bully my son (now 10) acquired in an amusing way too. I went over to the bully's dad and offered a handful of entirely free introductory jujitsu lessons to his son just to try it out and see if he enjoys it. When said son arrived at my school I paired him with my son for training and sparring. Where he very quickly learned what my son was capable of. With the effect he entirely ceased his attempts to bully my son or in fact to bully any kid if there was even the smallest chance my son was within ear or eye shot :)

Its widely considered that both watching and playing football is a very adult thing to do. Its just goes to show that what one considers adult another will consider childish - just as I do regarding football.

Watching sport is the very essence of immaturity. A vast sucker of time and resources for no ultimate benefit. The ultimate distraction - bread and circuses to keep the masses calm.

You've clearly never experienced a 95th minute winner so.

When you say they have no links to it, how do you know that they don't? They've probably followed that club for 40 years, made friends for life through their shared interest. It could have been one of the only things that brought them together with some family members or a link to a family member that they have lost.

Are there some people out there who don't want to grow up and want to live with Mammy and Daddy for life, of course there is.

Does what people enjoy as a hobby or how they celebrate a goal have anything to do with that? Not one bit.
