    If by grown stuff you mean work, taxes, chores… You can do whatever you want afterwards, you earned it.

    That’s what grown up stuff is, responsibilities.

    They’re busy cheering for grown folks playing different kids games, or playing less intense/more popular games like Farmville, Modern Warfare, GTA5, or whatev. They aren’t getting their giggles from cartoons but from Modern Family or Young Sheldon. They are 100% doomscrolling.

    Biggest difference is social acceptability.

    None of that is “childish”.

    You go to work like an adult, come home and:

    Play an M rated video game Watch an adult oriented animated show/film, Watch YouTube video that reached about some complex topic that you have an interest in (science, history, etc) or a video of someone playing those aforementioned M rated games.

    Live your life, have fun with it.

    Viewing things you enjoy as something you’re not allowed to do because you are an adult is easily the most childish thing you can do. Don’t live your life as though you are an animal trained to perform for others.

    There are no useless facts. Only growing knowledge. You are a full time student for the rest of your life.

    If being an adult is having children and being married or even having a girlfriend (or whatever you like); then I’m good with just having a house, cars, hobbies, being able to travel, and endless entertainment.

    I feel this in my soul. I’m an adult in that I pay rent, feed my kid, etc. but I’m also overly traumatized by the world around me so I retreated into the same things that made me happy as a kid. Also, my brain is wholly convinced I’m 12 not 36.
