And out in public, would it be acceptable for me to go to the children’s section of the library and use the bean bag chair to either read or play with my phone? And trick or treat. Or telling Santa what I want for Christmas, without sitting on his lap of course.

I’m emotionally 10 years old only because I’ve been severely emotionally traumatized too many times. I might have been emotionally 20 something at one time, only to have some traumatic events cause me to devolve. Or maybe possibly I developed so slowly that my emotional age never exceeded 10 years old in the first place. Again the result of multiple traumatic events.

If anyone knew my situation, would they be willing to treat me like a cute little child?
Behaving as a child at work or professional setting or making childish jokes etc is not a good idea. Now maintaining a bit of a childhood behaviors in a private life is fine. Like it’s not against the law to tell Santa what you want for Christmas. Or watch cartoons at home.

But trust me people will not think it’s cute if you start acting like a kid at work. Let’s not do that
Thanks for this!
