Do you remember when we were young and watched the fairy tales about the stray boy Peter Pan?
Although this character is very likable;
It represents a lazy and annoying boy who prefers to be a child forever.
Peter Pan spends all his days on adventures with his friends, neglecting the importance of self-development and growth.
The essence of Peter Pan's story is that he refuses to grow up, and in fact this phenomenon is no longer just a children's story, but rather a psychological problem called Peter Pan syndrome.
And writer Chris Butler explains - in a report published by the American "power of positivity" - that a person's inability to reach mental maturity and grow to become a responsible person;
It is one of the trends that have become popular among the new millennium generation.
As they consider maturity and responsibility a difficult issue, which includes paying bills and going to work on a daily basis, they prefer playing video games, and relying on parental support for them.
The writer believes that this behavior has become a real problem, and this syndrome is of great interest to psychologists and sociologists.
The writer explains that those who suffer from this syndrome in general do not like obligations, and prefer to act as children who do not bear any responsibility.
They also consider themselves entitled to whatever they want, and expect family and friends to support them forever.
And you may have met a man or a woman with a confusing personality, these people do not carry any worries, and are characterized by wit and constant fun, but over time it turns out that they act childish and irresponsible, and these are 10 signs that show that a person has Peter Pan syndrome:
1. Avoids conflicts at all costs
A person who refuses to grow up and take responsibility always tends to avoid confrontation.
He prefers to feel that the world around him is complete, and does not want to talk about negative things, because he does not have a mind capable of dealing with them.
2. Irresponsible
Childhood is characterized by a lack of responsibilities, but when a person grows up, he bears many of them, and performs many duties every day.
A person who is unable to do this is considered to have Peter Pan syndrome, and he needs someone to guide or supervise him and lead him to accomplish some work.
3. He can't be trusted
Home and family management needs two people, but a person with Peter Pan syndrome always evades his role, ignores the requests of others, breaks his promises and invokes oblivion.
4. Feels that the blame falls on others
Another problem that arises with this type of people is that they never admit their mistake, and they always blame others, whether they are friends, employers, parents, or anyone around them.
5. Sees no need to change
Even if you tell them 100 behaviors or traits in their life that they need to change, they won't agree with you on any point.
This type of person is not convinced that anything in his behavior should change, he loves his life as it is, feels that the world around him is right for him, and if you tell them about any change they will simply ignore you.
6. Adult life causes him stress
For these people, growing up is very difficult, and they have a hard time managing some responsibilities like bank accounts, paying taxes and working hard to get enough money to pay the bills.
7. It does not maintain its functionality
The writer says that those who hate maturity and responsibility, also find it difficult to settle in one job.
These kind of people jump from place to place, because every job they get forces them to make compromises about their social life and leisure time.
They often miss work without a convincing argument.
In general, employers do not like this type of employee, because they are unreliable.
8. He wants someone to take care of him
A person with Peter Pan syndrome is looking for the image of a mother who will take care of him for his entire life.
He is not necessarily looking for a wife, but rather someone who will respond to his needs.
If you feel that your partner is leaving you with all the responsibilities, and is dependent on you even in the smallest details such as putting food on the table, or washing and folding clothes after they are dry, these are indicators of concern.
9. Has commitment problems
Other indicators that you should pay attention to are;
Having difficulty entering into a relationship that is serious and has clear goals, and makes commitments or promises of any kind;
As these people prefer only simple friendships, they consider themselves not mature enough to go far in a serious relationship that culminates in a formal engagement.
10. Always trying to escape
This type of person always resorts to the easiest solution, which is to move away from the place or situation in which he does not feel comfortable.
And always looking for a way to evade responsibilities and face reality.
If you notice that your partner prefers to go out with his friends rather than work, or spends all his time playing video games and watching TV shows, this is a worrying sign.
