The Peter Pan psychological type is primarily characterized by immaturity or even certain sorts of psychological, social, and sexual problems. The kinda male personality in question is immature and narcissistic. More completely it includes such attributes as irresponsibility, rebelliousness, anger, narcissism, dependency, manipulativeness, and the belief that he is beyond society's laws and norms. For example, "Peter Pan" who is the adult little boy we all know, when in a relationship or in seeking a relationship, acts out a need for mothering.

Amazing isn't it?

Oh wow.. That's interesting. But I thought people acting like that were just a little immature but that with some more time it would be ok...? So this is something very serious actually? Are there ways to get rid of this?

This fits my stbx to a T. He was very irresponsible in all areas expecially money. He is very rebellious of anything I say, to quote him "I'm a big boy I can make my own descions." He's a marine and didn't even think he had to obey their rules(which he is finding to be untrue. He would have fits of anger for no reason.

I think that most of us, men suffer from the syndrome of peter pan. Some are not very attained and others very much. It must depend on the degree of affection that they received from their parents according to me.

I know many girls too who might have this syndrome for real. Girls know how to be manipulative, some reached a high level of narcissism and dependency, and very immature for their age. Yeah it might be due to lack of affection from parents. Some have a great fear of entering the adult world, it might seem too hard to live perhaps.
"Peter Pan felt sadly unable to be accepted by the adult world. As a defense, he rejected what he perceived to be rejecting him. He would hide whenever adults would come on the scene so that he would avoid interacting with them. Adults presented the ongoing threat of the emotional pain of rejection. Peter was just fearful and insecure with feelings of inadequacy to an extreme and defended against this thru avoidance of the potential cause. A fear of failure when interacting with others that he perceived to be more capable and in control than he was. Peter Pan syndrome means an overwhelming fear of failure interacting with those perceived to be more adequate which is defended against thru avoidance, that is all."
Something I read, that might explain it..

Actually a syndrome is not a phobia and can't be a sort of phobia, You're a girl and you can't be a boy, you know what i mean huh?

It's sad but true, guys are irresponsible and that is the reason why i hesitate to settle down.

Ok thank you for your...nice answer! I got it.

Does it INCLUDE a certain phobia of adults? (Is my question a little more normal now, please?)

I agree with the girls who say that most of the time, boys are the one who suffer from the syndrome of Peter Pan. guys should move their ass on their seats and start to do interesting things.
