Why are adults getting more and more immature?

[xompkins]

Its complete being an habit for adult for being immature , I don't know why but simply maybe they need a lot of attention from inside

They aren't becoming more mature.

You're just becoming older, and noticing immature qualities in other adults that weren't noticeable to you as a child!

The government knows how to tap into our brains a lot more effectively these days and are looking at ways to dummy down the population.
Reasons are to keep cheap labour on hand and a less questioning public.
Think 9/11 was a real eye opener for how easy people will give up liberties in exchange for a false safety.
The terrorist angle may be fading but still effective as usual,expect them to keep tapping into that vein as we get more out of control economic wise.

your an idiot and all posts here are garbage.
just sayin'

Or perhaps they never really gotten 'mature' about things. This is a common problem among adults in our generation, a lot of these guys never actually grew up and basically are just stuck with their own lives.

My friend and I were just having a conversation about this literally an hour ago. He and his wife work side by side on a law firm. Off the clock, they were arguing with two people who were having a discussion about how they think children should stay children and not be aspiring to have jobs. Last time I checked, it was good to encourage a child to work on their own small businesses, but that's really subjective. From there, they started taking digs. I don't know if I have the full story, but that's pretty lame for adult behavior. People have the right to express an opinion, so be respectful.

Not to mention that some people on the internet who happen to be over 40 would rather spend time on forums fighting with people they don't even know too well instead of worrying about something more important. When I see people old enough to be my father arguing like a child online, it honestly makes me wonder if they have a job or a family to worry over.


I'm not completely judging. Something actually tells me I'll grow old and get bitter enough to do that too. But....it's still sad.

We all grow bitter and its something us men do well at the exit point of life. Go take a look at any coffee shop with free newspapers and you find old men fighting over it well drinking their free coffee. Its the cycle of life or you die early.

People as a whole are wore with each generation. This passing of wealth has only just become a thing when people die and its making a lot of people retarded. So with each generation they get a little worse as it runs in the genes and gets stronger with each child.

Because You are shifting Your awareness on that.
In My reality all adults are mature.

The world around us becomes harder every day.
For our fathers it was usual to get a job, marry and have children at 20.
Nowadays you are lucky if you have a good job when you are  30 years old.
This makes us forever child.

To really separate perception changes ( the observer ) from facts, you would need to decide on some ways of measuring maturity.  The notion of taking current behaviour of children and adults as the definitions of maturity makes such an experiment useless.  You would need to clarify how you define maturity.  And yes there are various aspects I would attribute to what maturity means.  Choose such a definition you can nail down what qualities canA be tested and how to do so.  You can find previous studies on the subject and duplicate the experiment today.  Then do a statistical analysis on the data.  You could probably find someone here for that.  I haven't looked at that kind of math in a long time.  I wouldn't remember how to setup the ANOVA table.

Even the ones with no job, no home, no noble career and no future?

And what is your future if you have job, home, noble career and e.g. cancer?

Becoming a adult does not suddenly make you wise and mature. Perception plays a role but so does life.
Talk to a child facing death and you realize they are wise beyond their years. Take a person that has been coddled and pampered and chances are they are quite delayed in relating to people.
Being able to understand and put yourself in other peoples shoes has to be high up on maturation.
Notice some folks unable to grasp a opposing view and that stunts growth as well.

I blame marketing. It manipulates people on emotional level, telling them they should be buying all those things they were loving as children.
Like meet 40 years old american, he knows more about call of duty story than what is army of his country doing, and care more for watching sport game and seeing new Marvel movie, than for his health. That is so he can spend on games and "fun", because that is most important thing in life. 

[clangtrump]

They just missed something during their childhood and they are just reliving it. We on the other hand just want to enjoy and be wise about everything right?

[valta4065]

Ah!

How old are you OP? You're maybe not that old but your mind is from the 50's no doubt...

You're not talking about maturity but about productivity. Those things have nothing in common. Why should we all be productive? If I don't want to word I'm a shitty adult that's it? Who are you to qualify things as important and others as not important?

I enjoy the time I spend on this forum, exchanging ideas trying to convince people, discovering new subjects...
Who are you to tell me I don't spend my time well?

Technology is bringing adults and children closer and closer together. So therefore, the new generation of adults continue to act like children because nothing is separating the two.

Omg stop keeping this bullshit please...

Depends what you mean by immature. Adults are definitively mature.

[mexicantarget]

You're questioning people's intelligence. Intelligent beings don't do that. They just move forward.

Adults are always mature but sometime they also talk some nonsense or immature way that we have to think about it twice.
