I do this sometimes, especially when I'm out in public. I'll just say things that sound childlike and make me sound a bit of a tit. Like commenting on Pudsey bear in the bank and stuff like that. And saying stuff like "I can count!" when I'm with my mum and I can work out the total before she does.

Is anyone else like this?

Yes. Just yes. For the love of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, yes.

In fact, I keep butting heads with the mother-in-law over my "immaturity" because apparently, you're not acting like a grown-up if all you want to talk about is Walking With Dinosaurs.

Yeah, the problem with lacking social anxiety is you act like an idiot and feel completely OK about it. But yes, in stores, I'll jog through to pick up items faster, just run through city streets full of people. Eh, it's a funner way to live, imo.

Yes. Very much so. I took many photographs of the Dulux dog stuffed toy once when I saw it in a shop.

Oh yeah, I'm very much a womanchild. It's part of who I am, but it's something that I feel very insecure about.

We have many cruel enemies, if we bow down our heads, and offer for the cutting, are we to not take some responsibility?

Acting like a f*****g goober all the time is okay if you don't care that everyone thinks your a f*****g goober all the time.

I have no problems with the fact that I'm a wonderboy.
