I’m 41… my wife of 11 years still periodically bitches about me going through the house on a skateboard. You just need to embrace it, and find someone who’ll embrace it with you, or girl that’s got it too. I prefer to call it “snipped wing syndrome” because “Peter Pan syndrome” sounds like a dorky diss.

My ex was a Peter Pan. He said, "if you work, I can stay home and make sure the meals are made and the house is clean." I refused to do that game and that was that.He couldn't handle a dollar. He was all about leisure, fun and entertainment. Vacations, video games and concerts. That was his goals in life. No one deserves to be exposed to these leeches.

Honestly, i think this is dumb. Look at the bigger picture if a girl calls you immature in this context. Let’s assume you’re an adult and have a stable income. Who would you rather have raise your kids? Someone who dedicates themselves 100% to their work or someone who has hobbies that still embrace their inner child like trains or legos. Do you think your future child will like their father to be all about money and work or do you think theyll like spending time with their father who has interests they might find cool? My father would technically have Peter pan syndrome and he was obsessed with star wars, star trek, toy soldiers, legos, etc. so when we spent time together we were able to bond over something we both liked. He loved star wars just as much as me and that made him the coolest father in my eyes.

I've been married to a "petter pan" 20 years, we have 6 children. Our oldest is 23. Petter is 45 years. There was an entervention for him to seek help tonight or he leaves the family home for good. He can change but he's got to want it to the fullest ,period. To say the least keeping these behaviors and habits going has had a riptide effect on the whole family devastating truly. If love and family is what you'd like someday, get hooked up with a therapist that knows exactly how to help you. Hes been in council for 5 years off and on with little tools gained but not because they haven't been given, he's just not mature enough to except that there's a huge situation that will be eradicated very soon. Best of luck.

@dragleo4354 It’s totally okay to feel that way! Many people navigate adulthood differently, and everyone has their own pace. Sometimes, embracing your playful side can bring joy, but it’s also important to find a balance that feels right for you. If you’re looking to explore more adult responsibilities or activities, maybe start with small goals that interest you. Remember, it's all about your journey!

@furrycheetah Michael Jackson’s childhood was marked by intense pressure and lack of freedom due to early fame and a strict upbringing. Despite his global success, he often expressed the pain of missing out on a “normal” childhood. His story is a reminder of the sacrifices made for stardom and the impact it can have on personal well-being.

It’s not just adult responsibilities but also and foremost behaving your age and maturing mentally and emotionally. It’s fine to act 16 when you’re 16, but not when you’re in your 30s, 40, 50s and beyond. Why would anyone think that you have the capability or capacity to have any adult relationship with anyone who has actually grown. We grow because we want to, it doesn’t mean you can’t be child like…. Just not childish. What a major turn off!
@MedicalCentric
@MedicalCentric 11 күн бұрын
@MT-uf8xh You make a very insightful point! Maturity isn't just about taking on responsibilities but also about emotional and mental growth. It's natural to have fun and be playful, but as we grow older, it's important to balance that with maturity and self-awareness. Acting immature or childish as an adult can indeed be off-putting, especially when trying to build meaningful relationships. It’s all about finding that balance between keeping a light-hearted spirit and embracing the responsibilities and maturity that come with age.

@matzpimp It seems like you're referring to "Lost Boys," which could mean different things depending on the context. If you're talking about the *Lost Boys* from the movie *The Lost Boys* (1987), they are a group of vampires. Alternatively, "Lost Boys" could also refer to characters from *Peter Pan*, who are the group of boys that never grow up. There might be other interpretations too, depending on what you mean! Could you clarify a bit more about which Lost Boys you're referring to?

@MedicalCentric
@MedicalCentric 2 ай бұрын
@LOADUP01 Absolutely, trauma can have a profound impact on both mental and physical health. It can manifest in various ways, affecting emotional well-being, relationships, and even physiological responses in the body. Trauma can lead to conditions such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD, and it may also influence behaviors like diet, exercise, and self-care. Acknowledging trauma and its effects is crucial for healing. Seeking support through therapy, counseling, or support groups can be beneficial in processing trauma and developing coping strategies. You're right to highlight its significance in overall health and well-being.

While it may not be well understood by everyone, for those affected, it can significantly impact daily life.
