Other What things do you want to do that are considered childish by the public?

[SnapePotions34]

Pretty self-explanatory title. For me, it would be eating baby bottle pops. Probably not a thing that's widely considered childish, but I feel like I'm too old for eating that candy because of my mom increasingly scolding me every time I wanted one as I grew older when I was a child.

dance terribly up and down the aisles of a grocery store
trick or treat
hide in clothes racks in jcp or someplace similar
play in water fountains
play on the jungle gyms in parks
just like be silly and loud without getting weird looks
partake in the snowball fights

my inner child wants to shine through and not care, but my adult self thinks that's inconsiderate and risky. xp

WHY CAN'T YOUNG ADULTS AND OLDER PEOPLE TRICK OR TREAT WITHOUT BEING SHAMED OR SEEN AS CREEPY!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!???? IT'S A CRIME FOR THEM TO NOT BE ALLOWED TO TRICK OR TREAT!!!!

Reading comics, reading manga, drawing comics, writing comics, drawing manga, online roleplaying, board games, TTRPGs, dressing like a teenage boy (I do all of those things anyway), cosplaying, being a goth, being a socialist, having a stupid sense of humour like laughing at dick jokes and making said dick jokes and enjoying puns, reading children's books, reading YA books, reading fanfiction, wearing clothes with cartoon characters on, eating food with only one piece of cutlery, playing with Lego. Pretty much everything really.

Wait, you guys live in countries where trick or treating is a thing?

Anyways, uh... plushies. Lots of them.

hold on having plushies is perfectly acceptable and people who don't think so are the real lame ones.

whenever i see those play places in shopping malls i have a strong want to go inside and just run around climbing everything in sight? there's a particular one in a specific shopping mall where i would play all the time as a kid and whenever i pass it i can't help but stare at it longingly. i know this makes me sound weird af, but if i could break into that shopping mall in the middle of the night just to go absolutely feral in that play place i would do it. i mean, i won't, but it's unfair kids are the only ones who get to jump into ball pits without judgement smh.

 

[Onmyoji]

Uhhh. Cosplay. At my age I'm not supposed to dress up like anime character.

 

[Simon_Hawk]

Pretty much anything

 

[Firehazard123]

Play with my lego blocks

WHY... IS THIS... TRUUUUUEEEEEE.......

 

[Shieanna]

I currently have children so there's nothing off limits to me. I'll be sad the day they're 'too old' and I no longer have an excuse.

It pains me that I can’t dress up in a really fun costume and go get free candy. The only way to dress up is to get invited to a costume party or go out to bars and neither of those sound as fun as free candy.

This is also so painfully true. The slides, the climby things, the ball pits. I would go wild if it wasn’t socially frowned upon.

Swingsets.

If I ever own a house, I am putting one of those terrible, hard-rubber seat ones we had in elementary school right in the backyard, and using it every day.

 

[FoolsErin]

The fact I cannot “enjoy“ bugs anymore really sucks. I just want to chase a butterfly, watch a caterpillar crawl on a stick, and maybe sit down to watch the ants do stuff.

 

[kevintheradioguy]

Want to? I do it. I'm in my 30s, who's gonna stop me from building lego castles, making clay dragons, or staring puppet shows?

As someone who owned a pet 'bug' for over a decade (and cried like a little girl when he finally passed), bugs are amazing critters and you should feel no shame in wanting to explore their world.

Go find a stick friend, or watch a bumblebee fail getting into a snapdragon. Or be like Doctor Buggs and just become an irl Pokemon trainer.

I second this.

 

[LyricalMelodies]

Yeah I just...do. Sometimes I worry about it, but sometimes I need the thing.

Like last year when I went to visit my boyfriend and had to fly there and back, I held a plushie while on the plane to help keep me calm because I was an anxious mess.

I also echo the trick or treating. My social club in college actually used my daughter as an excuse to all go out trick or treating one year, she was like 2 or 3 at the time and it was great, plus most of the places we went to were EXPECTING college kids coming around so when they saw us all escorting my daughter around they just thought it was the cutest thing.

 

[N-On-E-Mus]

Being honest? Going down the up the down escalator just to see if I can still make it to the top

 

[xPastelWingzx]

Honestly, I'd love to just lazily carry a stuffed animal around with me but I am much to old for that in public. Or dance goofily while at work to the music playing. I mean some of the kids these days have some great toys to

 

[SavannahSmiles]

I just wanna splash in the rain puddles and not get weird looks from people passing by.
