The New Mature

I feel that no matter how old you are everyone has a certain childish way about them. Each person is different when it comes to being childish. There are multiple types of childishness. I think that it most commonly occurs among the transition generations, a.k.a. people in their 20s-30s.

First there is: Uber Child - now the uber child is typically the anime geek, the star wars geek, or the person who is obsessed to an unhealthy point about basically anything, could be World of Warcraft for example. This person usually feels that they are of a higher standing because of their immense knowledge in pointless topics such as: how many X-Wings could take out the Imperial fleet or if the Star Ship Enterprise could beat the Millennium Falcon in an intergalactic race. Honestly, I like Star Wars and know enough to understand the story line. I don't watch Star Trek. I digress. These people focus so much on something that isn't real that they have replaced 70% of their existence with their chosen vice. Another symptom that is typical of people in this category is that they spend money on things that most eight year olds would be glad to have gotten for Christmas but lack the capacity and the materials required to purchase said items.


2.: The Revert - your typical Revert is someone who seems very normal on the outside, and usually for the most part they are normal. The only thing that sets them apart is when they get into an argument, fight, hell even a debate of opinions they will revert to "NUH UH", or "because that's how it is", or the best one "that's not true, you made it up." I'm not saying that any of these are not valid arguments, but in the case of the Revert they use tactics like this in order to solely win arguments.


3.: The Spontaneous Cryer - Oh, such a classic example of a true actor/actress, the Spontaneous Cryer can practically cry on cue. They will begin pouring like a mid-autumn thunderstorm at the first sign of an argument they: A.) Know they will lose B.) know is going to incriminate them somehow C.) know will go on longer than they want. The Cryer knows that most times, most people will not see through the act. They use this and can manipulate most arguments solely based on the fact that they now have all of the attention focused totally on the fact that they are the victim.


4.: Grudger - A Grudger will fight, argue, and debate just like most people, but once all is said and done even after everything is resolved, a little bit of that person will hate you with every ounce of their being. They will secretly never forgive you for what you may or may not have said/did. Eventually they might, give them 10+ years. In fact they hold the grudge so hard, that they will never forget the incident and they will bring it up int future arguments or even conversations in order to make you feel like crap.


While there are more, I feel these have been sufficient for now and this post has been sitting on the back burner for a while now. So I give to you, this blog.
