my friends in real life and internet friends all say good things about me yea but they also call me names like “buddy” or smol stuff like that, and i appreciate it sure but i also think they treat me like as if i was a child or a smaller person but i don’t know why!!! i can ask them but i don’t want to offend them or make them feel bad so that’s why i’m asking here, thanks!!!
oh ok i’m sorry, i am 21 male, i behave ok, no swearing
Maybe the no swearing thing is part of the reason?
Cursing frequently seems like a sign of immaturity honestly.
It’s tied to intelligence actually. People that are good at language are good at generating a swearing vocabulary. Ya cocklamp.

How is cursing mature lol
It just fucking is, kiddo.
Insurance companies don’t bill people as adults until 26 because our brains don’t finish developing fully until then and we make poorer choices in a statistically significant way until then.
So while the legal age of adulthood is often late teens to early twenties, the reality is you still probably act young in a way that older people pick up on.
When I was 21 I felt like I was an adult. But I wasn’t even finished growing, and looking back from 40 I was young and dumb and it was obvious to everyone but me.
