Why do grown ups think that they're still 5 years old?

[LegendaryIcon]

I randomly said 5 but it could have just easily been like 11, 12 or even a young teen.

I don't get why so many adults, still act like they're 5

And yes, I said ADULTS, women, not MALE ADULTS. THIS INCLUDES YOU, TOO

Nothing wrong with it tbh.

Working a fairly stressful job etc, it’s good to have a spot of escapism.

why do some adults feel that they need to be adults 24/7

having a good piss about n a laugh with mates is good for mental health.

Ref your update what has gender got to do with it?

Sounds a bit childish bringing gender in to it. Sort of school playground thing

[LegendaryIcon]

Because lots of adult women, think they still act like adults

[ChrisMaster69]

As I said bringing gender in to it makes the question title bloody ironic.

It’s the type of thing a 14 yr old getting rejected on a date would come out with.

[LegendaryIcon]

No, not really. I'm telling, lots of adults, including women, still act like they're 5

[ChrisMaster69]

Which is fine.

As I said why act like an adult 24/7.
It’s like the dark humour some jobs have, if we behaved like adults we would go insane.

[LegendaryIcon]

Because acting like an adult, means, you're not a kid anymore, WHICH you're NOT

[ChrisMaster69]

Who says you have to act like an adult?

Is there a law that says I can’t go do stupid stuff with my mates like I did at 14?

I still play PC games, do other weird stuff with mates, camping out, some even do Pokémon go stuff

[LegendaryIcon]

No law, but youd think people would know better

[ChrisMaster69]

@legendaryicon the thing is as I mentioned its a great stress relief.

Example, I did crash and smash within the Air Force for a bit, this was responding to aircraft accidents and crashes often globally.

Picking body parts from a crash is not fun, or rather bits of body parts, a foot in a shoe, a hand, a child’s leg, stuff like that.

Now us lot having piggy back fights, throwing wet tea bags in to fans, loads of other really stupid childish things, was so we did not have to think overly about the adult world.

same on operations, we would find bizarre things to unwind and de stress, funny old thing kid stuff and not being an adult really helps.

You must be referring to yourself.

[LegendaryIcon]

nope

When we get older, our toys get bigger.
