Question

Why are some people still immature in their 30s?

Answer 1

It all depends on what immaturity means to you.

Can you elaborate on it?

Perhaps a person's behavior may seem immature to you and not to others.

An example: I am 39 yo and I joke a lot around people I interact with (always respectfully and when it is appropriate), I guess because I rather experience life with a smile. Some people may think it's immature, some others may not. We all have our opinions, which are just what they are: opinions.

So how does an immature person behaves, in your opinion?

Answer 2

because they haven't have enough life experience or situations to test them to the limits by that age so don't know the value of important things in life and still morn about little things that don't even matter like little kids do.

Answer 3

There are lots of kinds of immaturity - you'd have to be more specific - in some cases those are the ones who haven't given up on life and dreams and fairness and that doing what is right will win in the end

Answer 4

u mena they should all be wearing 3 peice suits and sipping tea with their legs crossed like a girl? lighten up. have some d**n fun.

Answer 5

i believe it is lack of guidance and life experience....never been put in a spot to prioritize and step up to the plate..or they havent set goals for themselves because they were never taught about goals, or know how to set them...

thanks

Answer 8

They are what is called Peter Pan people...people who dont want to grow up and start getting old. Usually people who hide from responsibilities by being irresponsible.

Answer 9

Because they haven't grown up  

Answer 10

Some people just are. I catch a train to school every so often in the city - and there are a LOT of wierd people from 20-50. I suppose it has something to do with how they were raised?

Answer 11

At 48 i've seen and experienced the good & bad in life,so how I decide to act,is my choice.

Answer 12

Some people never grow up

Answer 13

Some people just never grow up.  

Answer 14

Because growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional...!

It all depends on an individuals own idea of what is immature.  I'm 33, a mother and have a responsible job.  But I still like to have a laugh and act daft sometimes.  No harm done.  I'd rather be silly sometimes than be staid and boring!
