Omg, I have matured! :D No, really! XD
 
This is just a question: "Are you as childish as you used to be?"
Lol, don't get the wrong idea from the title. XD
Well, here is an example:

Today my little brother was annoying the hell outta me....he likes to punch me in the arm at random (really hard, I might add. XD) and just blackmail me with all these crazy stuff, like me borrowing my big brothers PS3 without permission and stuff...But yeah. What I did was I convinced him in a civilized manner that what he was doing was immoral. I just explained to him how annoying it would be if I suddenly began acting as he did. And the whole thing was settled.

Just 1 year go, this episode would have ended up in a fistfight, and he would end up on the floor with breathing problems. XD

So yeah, my question is; If you think back, do you think you would have treated a situation differently if you were younger? I suck at explaining. XD

I didn't know where to put this thread....

Well I'm not as childish as I used to be, but I let my childish side out when I'm with good company. I understand what you mean, and yes I do treat situations differently now then I would before. In the past I would just get extremely mad if someone was annoying me, but now I have learned that ignoring is the key. Saying anything back to someone who is annoying you is just fueling their fire. Which is why I try to live by the quote, "Arguing with a fool proves there are two."

Even though I know I have matured I also know that I have a childish side. Then again I think everyone does. I've always heard the saying, "Everyone is a child at heart." ... or something along those lines and I believe that. Mostly because I know when I'm alone of when I'm with people that I'm comfortable with I can be pretty childish.

keRacer January 15th, 2010 6:46 PM

yeah im not like that anymore, i used to do that all the time.

poopnoodle January 15th, 2010 6:55 PM

I certainly embrace my childhood and occasionally partake in childish behavior, but in no way am I the same naive and irresponsible kid I was, say, ten years ago. Every day comprises opportunities to become wiser and more experienced in life, though the steps maybe small and unnoticeable. I'll probably look back in another ten years and say,

eliteuchiha555 January 15th, 2010 7:09 PM

i grew up quick i matured quick i think.....i have became a adult at 16

ÇyänïdëÉX January 15th, 2010 7:12 PM

Well i used too break things and hide it until they found out and i would get yelled at. Now if i break anything i make up a good excuse..i didn't grow more mature i just got sneakier on how to get out of that type of stuff. hmm i guess i am a bad example.

Captain Hobo. January 15th, 2010 7:34 PM

No, actully I have gotten inmature yes it is sad.

Anxiety. January 15th, 2010 7:38 PM

Eh... well I have matured a lot since last year I guess.
But its a strange way of maturing, I'm childish and immature, but when something happens say - one of my friends get hurt, I get all srs bsns and start yelling orders like I'm some kind of leader. Strange really.
Like the other day

"Hehe, Grace I have your umbrella. Want it back?You're gonna hafta jump" I'm like, holding it above my head because she's a lot shorter than me. She wasn't actually looking at me "You okay?" and I notice she's like, almost crying. I could see the tears in her eyes, so I'm like "Sir I think I'm gonna be sick, can I go to the nurses office" and he says "Take someone with you to bring the first aid pass back" so I grab Grace and tell her to come with me, we end up not going to the nurse and instead stand outside (In all the pretty snow 8D) and I get her to tell me what's wrong, she didn't, but she said "Knowing that you're here makes me feel better, so it doesn't matter"

I guess that was a mature thing to do, instead of drawing attention to us by me asking her in class, I made an excuse for us to leave. But that's what I do, I get all mature when I need to be. And I guess thats pretty good.

gummybarz January 15th, 2010 7:40 PM

Well, i'm not as I was 5 years ago (an immature kid thinking life revolves around video games xD) I still act like i'm five sometimes though.

Caelus January 15th, 2010 10:06 PM

I wouldn't really call myself mature, but I was a lot more childish years back.

I'm still pretty childish and can react to things in a mature manner, but it's not as bad as it was before.

Uecil January 15th, 2010 10:11 PM

lol it's the opposite my brother would annoy me in my room, take my stuff and try to lob it at me then when i grab ahold of his arm to try and stop him he would then punch me and i would be on the floor ( i pretend that im hurt so he'll then go out my room ;) it works every time). i think over the last week or so i have started to think more about others than just myselfXD

EpsilonE January 15th, 2010 10:13 PM

I'm more mature in a way, but in another way I'm still the same

I still sneak an old Pokemon episode and play the old games while eating Welchs fruit snacks and drinking grape juice. Is that nostalgic or being childish? I have no idea

Gary, the Magic Fairy January 15th, 2010 11:05 PM

I'm less mature than I used to be.

I blame my friends being horrible influences and the internet.

iLaxbe! January 15th, 2010 11:32 PM

Ah, I get sad when I realize i'm not that kid anymore. Even now that I can drink, smoke and do all the other adult stuff, I feel like a 9-year old kid messing around with my big height! And I don't have mature friends, that helps me with my immaturity. =P

RYOUKI January 15th, 2010 11:40 PM

I think I have matured, well only a little bit. 2 years back, if I had a fight with my sister, I'd end up hitting her a lot. This time, I'd end up hitting her, but only with a few punches, though I think it would be twice the strength. Hmm, oh well. Let see in another 6 months or so.

Stan the man January 16th, 2010 12:02 AM

Any thing but. seriously.

Bear January 16th, 2010 12:51 AM

I think so. I've become a lot more calm, for want of a better word, in the last year +.

But I've learned to enjoy doing more mature things. Like driving. And schmoozing with adults at posh dinner parties. Ho yes.

Dukey January 16th, 2010 1:28 AM

I'm not going to say I'm the most serious person on the earth, I love to make jokes and have fun, but when it's needed I'm serious, or just get into a fairly deep mood.

Code January 16th, 2010 1:28 AM

Yaaay! Everybody answered in the kind of way I tried to explain! :D [/Childish]
XD
So yeah, I'm always hyper and childish when with my friends, but they're cool with it.
Quote:

i pretend that im hurt so he'll then go out my room ;) it works every time
I don't do that, because then he thinks he's stronger than me, and he likes to boast about things. XD

So yeah, I like to think I have the mind of a mature 14 year old, mixed with the humor of a 3 year old. XD

^ That's a very good trait.

Nowadays I also think about the consequences of doing things, like, if my mom is angry, then i shut up and listen up. If I answer her with ANYTHING, she will just get madder and come up with a point that doesn't make any sense. I would then get twice as much shouting in my face. XD
And I also try to calculate the response of my brothers and sisters, so that I don't accidentally get on their bad side when I want to borrow their stuff. XD

Idiot! January 16th, 2010 5:08 AM

I am very mature and not so mature at the same time, I think. I can understand concepts for people three years older than I am, and then I behave younger than my age. I really want to be young again.

THIRTY-SIX January 16th, 2010 5:12 AM

Not really matured. Less outspoken.

Esper January 16th, 2010 11:33 AM

When I look back I think "Wow, how immature I was," but when I look in a mirror I think "Wow, how immature I am."

Corvus of the Black Night January 16th, 2010 12:11 PM

Oh God hell no. I was so childish a few years ago the regret still tears at me :x

Honest January 16th, 2010 12:51 PM

I like to think I'm still as childish as I used to be. I pull stupid pranks on my friends all the time, and I get hyper a lot as well. xD

Being a kid is fun, and even though my behavior is more manly then before, you'll always see the glint of a younger, more gullible child in my eyes, despite my age. xD

Saltare. January 16th, 2010 3:46 PM

I will never be mature. Unless I HAVE to be.

Immature is a word used by people who don't know how to have fun.

But "immature" really says "Im mature" D:

Tater Tot January 16th, 2010 4:31 PM

I actually think I've become less mature over the year. XD;;

I've gotten much more shy, and anti-social. And very temperamental. I burst out laughing at random times, I'm getting lazy, and I'm having mood swings. I feel like a ten-year-old. XD

Then again, much more stress has come over me. And 2009 was the worst year of my life so far. So it's probably screwed with my mind a lot.

OokamiShipper January 17th, 2010 10:19 AM

Yes, I have matured, but I am still a little bit of a child.
If being a pervert is immature, than I have actually gotten less mature. xD
But no, I've been told that being perverted isn't neccassarily "immature"
So excluding that, I am more mature than when I was younger. I hope. xP

Jordan January 17th, 2010 10:25 AM

I can't really say. My work ethics have slopped immensely from years past, but my arrogance has (somewhat) been reduced and I'm more tolerant. However, I've grown to become more bitter and sadistic at the same time. xD;
