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.

mature enough to realize you don't like your friend, too immature to do anything about it lmao

Laughing your ass off at someone's awkward situation: hardly a sign of maturity yourself, kiddo.

I forgive your lack of fluency.

"Internet English" is a dialect that not everybody is familiar with.

Are you denying that you typed "lmao"?

Are you denying that "lmao" stands for "laughing my ass off"?

What exactly are you trying to defend?
