56 Things Adults Do That Make Others Think, "Grow Up"

Men that say they hate vegetables, this screams manchild that only eats nuggets with every fiber of their body.

You drive a car that makes loud noise for no reason.

I’m going to put myself on blast and not being emotionally mature during conflicts. When I would get upset I would shut down and just not talk. I needed time to process things but my husband shot that down real quick. Said if you want to process that’s fine but we need to communicate and get through things together. 

I realized as an adult I was copying my mom’s way of handling situations which was basically giving everyone the silent treatment as a punishment. She still gives my dad the silent treatment and won’t talk to him for days. As a kid, being ignored by your parent is effed. But growing up with that you don’t realize how wrong it is until an emotionally mature adult points it out. .

Still bragging/thinking its cool how much booze they or someone they know can drink.

Taylor Swift fans. I'm not dissing her specifically - she's talented but the hardcore, Taylor is my life kind of fan is ridiculous if you're over 18. When you're 12 it's kinda cute but when you're legally allowed to drive and join the military, that level of fandom is stupid.

Kardashian fans, they're stuck in the brain of a 13 year old girl who thinks the way the Kardashians live is a valid life goal.

Idk but it is annoying if someone with a trust fund and/or rich parents expects everyone else to be as well off or even as adjusted as them. I am responsible for myself but dawg I can't just go to Coachella with you.

Relying on others to handle everything for you.

Passive aggressive responses and behaviour.

Complaining about having lost a popularity contest six years ago.

Not willing to do basic household chores.

Having their parents get involved into a argument because they feel attacked but just not wanting to fix the problem.

Still acting the same way they did in high school despite nearly being 30

My former friend is this way, hasn't changed a bit since high school from the recent stories I've heard. Still acts like he's the main character of life, still treats people bad if he doesn't think they're of use to him. Still tries to pick fights with strangers because he thinks they're not acting in the way he wants them to. The people who still choose to speak with him are starting to get tired of it.

Oh lord. I have a former friend who grew up with 2 older brothers and her mom did everything for them into adulthood (cooking, cleaning, just never really bothered to teach them the basics). So the woman I knew is now over 40, her car is constantly full of dirty laundry and trash. All 3 siblings live with their parents despite all being between 40 and 50. She used to brag that they wouldn't fill the tanks in their vehicles so if their dad borrowed them, he'd have to fill them up. She has a young kid who she just leaves with the parents and lives her life as if she's child free most of the time. I don't think this poor kid will ever learn the basics either. There's so much more that I won't list but I grew up close to the family and they were seemingly normal but something is wrong when none of your 3 kids ever move out of the house.

When you were the party animal among your friends in your early 20’s, and now you  are still the one getting drunk 10’years later and your friends have jobs and relationships .

Having your parents monitor your bank account at age 30.

Constantly posting glamour shots of themself on social media.

Hanging out with much younger peers and not outgrowing the gossip & drama. Just an inability to move on to the next stage of life. Also clinging to an enabling parent and being unable to begin learning how to think for themselves because they stay enmeshed with said parent.

People who still talk about highschool like it was yesterday.

Throwing fits when something doesn't go their way. It's easy to tell who grew up with parents that always gave them what they want, just so that they didn't have to hear them whine.
