Childish intrests?

Here is my old thread on the subject...

I am still addicted to Pokemon. Does that count?

I am avid collector of all things Emily the Strange. But then, I once saw a picture of Julia Roberts wearing an Emily shirt so maybe not so childish? I think what's more childish is what I'm not interested in - like going to bars and drinking. I have parties that are pretty childish, like a 13 year old slumber party usually. And I watch Arthur quite often.

Winnie The Pooh

Any and all things cat-related. I collect cat figurines and stuffed animals, although I haven't collected anything new in years now.

I like old Disney movies, particularly That Darn Cat and The Incredible Journey, with the Siamese.

I also like Sagwa, The Chinese Siamese Cat.

I work at the library, and love the children's section. I love a lot of the children's books, mainly ones about cats. I also like to read non-fiction books about subjects of interest, because the children's books give me a lot more factual information than some of the adult ones.

There's a candy eating Sweet Pea from Cut The Rope named Om Nom that I like.

In my personal experience many people do consider video games and anime childish interests. I am unable to relate to most people my age because of this

If I could afford it, I want a marble set. I've been getting into this one Youtube channel called Jelle's Marble Runs lately and it's quite satisfying.

Also, I play a lot of Pokemon and Minecraft, so I'm one to talk about childish interests, lol.

MTV's Scream

I once saw a shirt that read cleverly disguised as a responsible adlut. This is an apt description of me. I still enjoy cartoons, older video games, and all things Disney, especially Goofy and Tigger.

It's totally normal to have childish interests. There's a whole industry dedicated to obsessive interests in fandoms and nostalgia. I personally still collect rocks, love bouncy balls, I still watch movies from my childhood like Space Jam and Casper, collect/read/watch anything MMPR or Star Trek, and read and watch Buffy episodes because it feels like home. If anything, it's a safe and effective escape from the burdens of being an adult, and a mental break from work and social pressures. Be yourself and enjoy it .

I know I have some. I collect plushies and love anime and manga (which my mom believes is a "childish" thing even though I tell her it's not especially depending on the series you watch). I also like making stuff with my rainbow loom too and while I listen to a lot of different kinds of music, I have a soft spot and enjoy listening to stuff from when I was a child (old Britney Spears and that kind of thing) but I think that I also have some "older" interests and I think I have a good balance personally plus I know lots of people my age too who have the same interests.
