Getting past adolescence as an adult!

Updated: Oct 1, 2024

Do any of you struggle to get past your adolescence from adult-life. Why do we get so frivolous and awkward when we are around other adults, to the point that they bored us and we don't say anything in a conversation, and at the end we just unconsciously say the last annoying comment that dismantles the whole group.


This happens because you might be the youngest of your siblings or the middle of your sisters or brothers. They must have said all the sentences for you, or not allowed your opinion count in their conversations. But, you lived right? You kept going, you kept showing up to their parties, and engaging with their friends, you may have been called the "cuties thing in the family."


Sometimes you are a great success, you are a hard-working maniac. You are also very polite and very extremely neat and to the point of perfection, you also have a very high-level of lexicon, you speak multiple languages, you play an instrument, you are a great artist. But when the conversation begins with adults you just don't get them, you silently make humor at them, secretly choose their ideologies and discard almost everything they are saying because it does not make sense to you. You also have the highest respect for authority, and question their behaviors based on the scenarios they face, I mean yes you do value them, but because your mind is going at 95% speed limit, you can't understand why they don't understand you at all, so they bail you, they will do everything to erase you from their environment, because you are right, you are intimidating to them.


That child in you is fearless, and never gives up, even if you speak in a childish humorous manner, they will never understand you, until then it appears that way to them from their actions, then you laugh silently, and wonder wasn't I right?


In all the candor of flattering and flapping, adult conversations are nothing but just hypocrisy to exist with each other. You have never been missing on anything or rejected from anything, it is only what truths you can say in conversation that have great meaning and wisdom to each other, but this conversations with adults are merely that. The competition and false flattery is merely adult minded. So, stay true to yourself and the child in you in this adult life that has never left, tell her or him that you love them for who they are, that you understand these repertoires of soirees, and still yet maintain that candor of politeness to be present amongst them.
