I really despise immature people, but before delving into to the topic, let me define what immature is [for me]. Immature people are those who don't and/or won't take responsibility for their actions. They put the blame on others or pass their responsibilities to others so that they won't get blamed if anything goes wrong or in a word, scapegoating. They lie to appear better more often than not, at the expense of others. They pass off opportunities in life, have no clear direction. They just
Immature is different from childish. Childish people act like children in a way that they like playing games. They also like talking like a baby.
Anyway I hate people who are so immature. Childish I can take, but immature? I really really loathe them.
Whenever I find out that someone is immature, it really pisses me off, and anything they do that makes them immature, it really ticks me off. Makes me want to shout at the person.
I've encountered a lot of people like this, especially in my old work place. t really pissed me, so I left the company. Right now I'm having trouble with this "leader" in our church. so far he's proven that he's very immature and not very competent for the position. It really bothers me. He's been given a task, a great responsibility and he's wasting the great opportunity.

I can perfectly understand your rant as I had dealings with such people too who always blame others but themselves. Oh, I hate them to the max. Unfortunately, they are everywhere---at home, in the workplace, etc. They always have a finger pointing at others and never blame themselves even when they are obviously at fault. Like one lady who got herself pregnant, she blames her parents. What? She was the one who spread her legs! WTF!

Well it seems to me that you are someone who understand the fact that opportunity is something that is hard to come by and if it does come, you'll catch hold of it. That's a good trait for a leader ;) However, I must advice you to be aware of your temper or emotions. Because more often than not emotions cloud our ability to call the best judgment. Cheers and cool down :D

I am not fond of immature people either. Its weird how immature people are often found in leadership positions. Just goes to show its not about what you know, or are capable of, its about who you know.

One way you are right. This immature state makes a lots of troubles as well as pains to others. This kind of people are really a nuisance to others. There are people who held the higher position and they may be lack of knowledge about all the more. In order to hide the situation, they just act over smart. This is one kind immature position. Also, as being they are the bosses, they want to just show off they are something big. This also leads to their immaturity.
Only what I escape such situation is that just leave the place untouchably. In fact, I really hate such people. Even if we remind them sarcastically, they will not understand, in case they realise also, again they will show their character.
It is some kind of diseas treatment is just ridicule them.
Regards,
Thank-s

emm.... maybe you can give me an example to us,what action has he done, so you say he's immature?
if there is already a real example, I can give my opinion about that person. Perhaps your assessment of the person is wrong or my differences of opinion with you regarding the nature of that person, because maybe I have different ways to judge a person whether he was an mature or not.

Well, we have a yearly project of giving tokens of appreciation for mothers on mothers day and for fathers on fathers day. We hand them out after the announcements and blessing during masses. What this person did was to give a proposal to the parish priest, stating that we can't buy the tokens any later than the first week of june. We met weekend of the second week of june and he didn't bother following up on I and another member finally did (later that afternoon), the parish priest wasn't able to accomodate the brainstorming about a token, so we're left with no token. The priest was willing to accept that there won't be any tokens for fathers this year.
I texted him to tell him that we just can't let this happen, what he did was to totally absolve us from the problem and point out that it's the parish office's fault and problem not ours

Ya, its frustrating to see why people don't understand their responsibilities and don't behave accordingly. They just don't care how it make others feel, they are more or less like selfish people. They don't really care if their activities are creating problems to others.
But its the hard truth of today's world, we cannot trust anyone for anything.
The self dependent is the only one who doesn't face problems.

Immaturity reaches us on all levels. Young or old. you can still be considered immaature. Taking responsibility for yourself and your actions is a a sign of growup, of maturing. When we act in the opposuite ways, we are showing the whole world how immature we really are.

I think it really bugs me when people act immature when I know for a fact that they are capable of acting better. I know because I have seen them acting better and more mature. Still when things do not go there way, they revert to an immature state and throw tantrums, while throwing the blame around to other people. I think those people out of all the immature people are the most frustrating to deal with without a doubt.
I think when these people are put into a position that should have a lot of responsibility, that is really the most frustrating part. They want all of the power but none of the responsibility. That is immaturity at its finest I think. Sadly, these people seem to be around every corner. They tend to leave a bad taste in my mouth and make me really feel bad for others who have to deal with them. In school, at work, and in life in general, these people represent an annoyance.

I get irritated with people who are immature. I think people who are immature tends to play safe all the time, doesn't want to take full responsibility of the task bestowed upon them. Oh well, as much as possible I don't want to be angry at these people because at the end of the day, they won't change.
