A lack of understanding interpersonal interactions.

And it’s more of a feeling than it is any single behavior. You just… know it when you see it. They simplify too much, think values/morals/rules are shared, obvious, and uniform, and that getting along with others happens solely on their terms. They kind of act like everyone but them is an NPC - not realizing to everyone but them, they’re the NPC.

That sounds like an adult with a social and/or psychological issue.

uh, you got them backwards, it sounds all weird that way. I think you meant "Tomato Tomato"

[-] noli@lemmy.zip 5 points 5 months ago

No, it's definitely "Tomato Tomato"

my mistake. I thought they'd said "Tomato Tomato" but now I understand I misread it and it's "Tomato Tomato". I ought to be more careful.

lol. While writing that out, I had that thought too, but decided that saying it was more of a feeling was vague enough that I could hide behind that when someone inevitably pointed out it could apply to some adults, too.

I do feel it’s noticeable - an adult that has some sort of social struggle vs a kid. But it’s like… A kid seems to make statements that come from a place of naïveté, whereas an adult seems to make statements that come from a place of ignorance. Adults seem to couch their words in defensive language, while kids seem kind of blindly assertive. It truly is more of a feeling, I think.

This is the best way of describing it. Assertive statements with very naive foundations. I can recognise some of my own thought patterns from when I was young in some of the things they say.

Might add lack of general understanding but it's pretty much what you said, like physics, math, nature and society.

They simplify too much, think values/morals/rules are shared, obvious, and uniform

A adult would usually understand enough to at least recognize there is always consequences to a lack of knowledge.
