I kinda wish I was immature in a conventional sense, it sounds fun.
People tell me that too. Deep down I know I'm just a dumb kid though. This sounds dumb, but I've always felt like I skipped a step, which is why I can't relate to my peers. Lately I've just been unintentionally acting like them which has made me way less paranoid in a sense (note: I still have no life so not much has changed) but at the same time I'm silently cringing at everything I do.
In short, we're supposed to be stupid right now but I don't want to be stupid.
being mature is only temporarily detrimental.
very, very temporarily.

Well, I think part of why I'm noticing it more is because it seems like people in the Pit are less active now, but all of the regs aren't less active. It feels like UG is shrinking.
Some of the regs are actually decent (Hydra and the mods come to mind), but a few are outright assholes.

it's been like 10 years :p
Not that I've always been mature but moreso than most people my age. Or maybe I've just had always had some sort of false idea that I'm better than those around me in some way. I don't know but now I feel like a prick lol

i wouldn't say that regs aren't less active. there's a ton of regs that are less active. for instance, everyone in this forum except bob :p
I don't think I'm better than everyone else, I just think our peer's idea of 'maturity' is not mature at all. Adults usually say I'm mature; people our age are always criticising me for something. After a year of being ridiculed over stupid things (note: I'm not complaining nor am I trying to present this as a bad thing) I've adopted this 'IDGAF' attitude which is something I associate with fourteen year olds. So I've gone downhill recently in terms of maturity. :p
edit: This post is a waste of space and not directed at anyone really, I'm just using this thread as my thirteen year old-esque diary again. >_>
I've gone downhill too. I'm acting more mature on UG but in real life I'm being way more immature about life in general. Just the way I handle things, half the time I wonder oh god why.
I don't think I'm better than everyone else either, didn't mean to say that. I guess there's just a part of me that thinks I'm wiser or something at times whether it's true or not.

That's true, but part of that is because of the group of assholes who seem to think they're popular simply because they've been there long enough for most people to know their names.

Idk, I dislike Element, he's kind of a pompous douche.
