Reply to comment by Defender1x in TIFU by wanting to cuddle with my friend [update] by Educational_Glass_47

The only problem is, young people are supposed to be immature not mature. And if they never do the immature things, they never develop the experience that actually matures them.

Making no mistakes at age 19 is a huge mistake.

OP doesn't know if this is a mistake or not. Comment OP is confusing "risk aversion" for "maturity" here.

You may be right actually. From her original post:

> I proceeded to think about it all night and have come to the conclusion I have feelings for him.

Thinking all night is not a very good way to detect feelings.

In fairness she also is neurodivergent, so sometimes this is actually the best way to detect feelings because you wouldn't be sure otherwise
