Getting too worked up over something... ?

[Toefur]

I was on the phone to my girlfriend tonight... and she was telling me what her and her friends got up to last night.

So they were out running round, and having fun and stuff... and they saw some cars; and her friend had this brilliant idea... "Let's toilet paper them".

She told me this... and my first thought was "how juvenille" I didn't say that, but she knows I don't think much of it.

Should I have such a big problem with this?

I mean, I'm trying not to... but the fact that these girls are like 18 & 19 year olds... and they're behaving like 13 year olds; really urks me.

I'm not looking for people to agree with me, and say she's wrong... I'm just like... am I getting too worked up over this?

It's just like, such a complete disregard for other peoples property; and all she said was, "Sometimes I just don't want to care about other peoples feelings" or something.

I was like... "Oh."

I mean, I did plenty of stupid stuff before... me and my friends used to go egging all the time, and lots of other stupid stuff... but we were like 15... and these girls are 18 & 19... and they do stuff like this lots.

It's just like... so immature it scares me?

Do I need to lighten up? Am I getting too worked up here? Do I have some sort of maturity complex?

Granted that sort of behavior is immature, but it's not like they are the only 18-19 year olds out there engaging in such activites. "Sometimes I just don't want to care about other peoples feelings" is also quite a childish statement, but not necessarily suprising.

So, I'd suggest just lightening up. I can't see how it's worth worrying over unless this type of behavior occurs consistantly (which wouldn't suprise me). She's not likely to change just because you're upset so you can either deal with it or find someone else that's a bit more mature.

Hey, I am a soon to be 18 year old.... so you are a model citizen compared to me when it comes to maturity...

choose your battles. if this person's behaviour doesn't affect you, or reflect upon you, ignore it. if other people are starting to think you're as bad as them, then do something. either let them know how you feel, or choose not to be friends with them any more.

it sounds like you're going to choose not to be friends with them until they grow up anyway.
