I couldn't claim I seriously doubt that your maturity is beyond normal for your age, but I do want to point out that I've never met someone who has claimed anything different about themselves concerning maturity. So how do you know you're more mature than your peers?I have many interconnecting interests. Mainly: Metalcore, Astronomy/Astrophysics, Taekwondo, Psychology, Atheism, Science, Egalitarianism. Greetings all! I may be a female teenager, but my cognition and maturity exceeds that of many adults I've come across. So, how are all you wonderful people?
I didn't actually mean to do boldface type. I must have clicked it by accident. whoopsie. The people I come across, though usually intelligent, tend to act up and do silly, childish things, regardless of age. That's what I meant by maturity. Arrogance is actually my least favorite trait in all people. I didn't mean to seem arrogant. It's my first time on a forum, so I wasn't quite sure how what I said would be perceived. Thanks for all the welcomes, though.
About the maturity, or about the boobies?
... I think maturity has a lot more to do with accepting responsibility for yourself, taking what other people think and feel into consideration, and generally being a decent human.Silly, childish things are the source of all things fun.
If being mature necessitates casting these qualities aside, then I never want to be mature!
I couldn't agree with you more. As soon as I get to thinking I understand people, I learn this other new thing that just baffles me harder than the last thing. Then I understand that, so I get married, and woah. I apparently don't understand emotions at all!
Profound philosophy? Complicated problems? Scientific theories? No problem! Someone else's emotions?
...but my cognition and maturity exceeds that of many adults I've come across. So, how are all you wonderful people?
I don't know about anyone else, but I find that so incredibly annoying. You have to understand, these adults are supposed to garner respect, but its impossible to give after they make themselves an idiot to me. Then again, every person has a different analysis process. I'm not surprised you feel that way though.
Sadly, I never caught a shiny. Not even once.
Then part of me wonders if I ever unknowingly killed/ fled from a shiny when I was younger, and did not know they existed. That part of me then realizes Iwastedenjoyed a lot time on Pokemon.
What is your favorite Pokemon?
Agreed. But not us, right? RIGHT???!?!?! :smiley_emoticons_mr
I wish it worked that way.
I've been exposed to people I view as immature. I did not claim that I'm more advanced than they are, nor that I am somehow better. I'm actually trying to eliminate intolerance and prejudice by introducing the concept that "physical maturity", as you call it, does not dictate mental maturity. When someone older knows I'm a teenager, most automatically think that my opinions could not be mature as a physically older individual. I'm trying to eliminate that stereotype. For some reason, you seem to assume that I claim to be better than everyone else. That is not the case. I wanted my relative age to be known, and I only wished to not be judged by it. That's why I said that. By your definition, I have not perpetuated any form of immaturity. In fact, by sarcastically picking on my comments and sneering at my attempts to contribute to discussion and relate to others, you have not shown respect for my differences, feelings, or ideas. You just derisively cast them down, as if you solely know right. I did not anticipate that anyone would perceive that one little comment the way you did. I came to this forum to have intelligent discussion with like-minded individuals, not get in a ridiculous, pointless argument over one thing I said at the beginning of the thread. I know what I meant, and it wasn't supposed to be arrogant or malicious.
