What would you think of someone well into his 20s who still acted 15?

(note: I'm not that person, although I think I might become such a person in a long time). I really don't like how incredibly judgmental most 18+ year olds are, and how a lot of them have become jaded and laugh at things just because it's socially acceptable rather than because it's genuinely funny. And I don't like it how they get settled down and married, and then cut out lots of people from their lives after marriage (doesn't always happen, but it's quite common). And I don't like alcohol or bars or nightclubs or those sorts of things.

Anyways, what if he *had* a job or went to grad school? (so he was somewhat responsible and not a leech?) But who simply preferred to interact with 15 year olds rather than people his age? And who preferred to continue to act 15? (with many of the customary interests/behaviors of a 15-year old). And what if he still *looked* 15? He would just be more knowledgeable and wouldn't make as many incredibly stupid decisions.

Lol, I actually know a few people who have graduated college/are seniors who still hang out with high schoolers. They're all mutual friends through theater, so maybe those endless hours of practice together was enough to break the usual age barrier. They're always at each other's houses, too.

Besides, maturity is a heavy price to pay for growing up.

I dislike how when people head to college, they no longer talk to those still in high school.

^^I won't even probably talk to many people I knew in High School who are going to be in college when I am. I'll keep them on facebook though.
