Is it normal to be 20 and still like kid stuff?

Is it normal to be 20 and still like kid stuff. People always look at me like I am a weirdo since I still watch kid cartoons, and anime and draw. I don't do stuff like drinking, drugs or even have my own children. I actually don't mind kids and I was always very good with kids and I have babysat a few times. I don't even like sports. Is this normal behavior for an adult and if its extremely abnormal how abnormal is it? I only ask because people are starting to notice but I don't like adult things.

Is It Normal?

  • Hi! I'm a 21 year old art major. You sound just like me and all of my friends at school. We literally discuss anime, Disney movies, video games, and tons of other "kids stuff" on a regular basis. You're normal, you just might not be in the right social sphere.

  • You don't sound so much "childish" as you do perhaps a bit "nerdy." Nothing wrong with this of course; I am actually quite similar.

    Keep being yourself, and stay Edge.

  • Perhaps you could have the best of both worlds. A job in a toy store, or designing toys and games for kids, professionally, would allow you to enjoy your work, but give you the where with all to live your life as a productive adult.
    As for normal, or abnormal, I think there are a very few truly "normal" people in the world, and they are probably pretty boring folks.

  • I dont know how people watch sports so thats normal. Try some manly things for a change like workout, get more manly. You can still watch cartoons and anime but it should be more limited and not broadcasted for the world to see it makes you look nerdy as fuck.

  • I'm 24. I play video games (even have a gaming group where we play games like minecraft together), I still play educational children's games from the 90s that I grew up with, I write about 90s kids stuff, I watch kids movies and cartoons (old and new), I watch anime, I draw, I read children and young adult and adult books, I go on sites like Gaia and Adventurequest. I don't have kids myself. I love having fun- I'd rather play my computer than work. If it makes you happy who cares what others think?! :D

  • Ah! Love it! Life as a kid is so much fun! I love anime (Pokemon), manga (drawing and making own comic), Cartoon Network, Minecraft, Animal Crossing (I'm such a kid... Hehe. Goats.), love cute stuff (like puppies, unicorns, Pokemon, Boo the Cutest Dog, and other stuff!), I believe in the Unicus (Unicorn Pegasus) in my imaginary world, always think my stuffed animals (I still have them) would come to life, and other stuff! Live on, inner children!

  • My husband is 36 years old and loves anime, computer games, and is often found watching the cartoon network. He's even got me hooked on a few of his favourites.

    Embrace your inner child I say. We all have one but most are too ashamed to let others see it.

  • Do what you like doing :) I'm currently listening to early 2000's pop music from when I was a kid. It makes me happy :)
    Do what makes you happy.

    Now, I'm going back to my duvet tent with my colouring book :p

    • Chomo is what they call it? I had no idea they made a new term for this.
