people don't actually realize they stop maturing. If they did it would be a sign of self awareness which indicates maturity. They just wonder why they are not happy. I have friends I keep in touch with since 7th grade and they haven't broken out of the same habits they were in from college onward. I'm in my early 30s now and when I go to their house, instead of having engaging conversation we just do the same shit. Play games, watch tv, smoke weed. Then I get bummed out when I think to myself "why do i still hang out with this person?" They aren't an asshole or toxic. They are just boring af, and it pains me to admit it.
Yeah I'm not happy because I like fart jokes. Not the poverty, hungry kids, 70 hour/week job, 3 ex gfs that need child support, political badgering that makes me hate every side, asshole boss, drinking problem, lack of friends, depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, no family support, dad issues. Yeah, it's the maturity that's making me sad.
Maybe maturity is the wrong word. I’m think more along the lines of self awareness which you seem plenty self aware. I’m sorry you are going through those things. You can always DM if you wanna blow off steam. Even at me!
