Do you ever feel like someone is being childish when you’re talking with them? When do you get that impression?

I’m BB7. Even if I think, “They’re such a kid,” I wouldn’t say it to their face. If a man actually says something like that, I think, “He’s such a kid himself.” When someone says everything that comes to mind without considering whether it might make the other person uncomfortable, or immediately wears their emotions on their face, I think, “They’re such a kid.”

I’m Aya, a female member. If someone tells me I’m “such a child,” I take it as basically meaning “you’re cute” and feel flattered. I don’t think they’re putting much thought into it. This is something I’ve realized after talking with many men—and women too—but hardly anyone carries on a conversation while carefully considering the meaning behind every single thing they say. Unless they’re a counselor, about 95% of ordinary people just talk without thinking that deeply. I tend to dig deeply into the reasons behind people’s comments, so I used to worry about things a lot. But then, one day, I realized the above and was honestly stunned. It explained why wondering, “Why did that person say that back then?” so often ended up getting me nowhere. So I think you’ll feel less stressed if you don’t worry about it and just keep smiling. That said, even now I sometimes find myself overthinking what my papa (a male supporter) means and getting worked up about it, lol.

I’m Kazu, a male member. I never feel that my partner is childish. I do sometimes feel that she’s young, though. I get that impression when she acts rashly or selfishly in relationships with people other than me—for example, with her parents, friends, or coworkers. Even when I think that, I don’t just say, “You’re young.” I might encourage her to try looking at things from the other person’s perspective.

I’m Nana Ayase☆ Questioner, I may be mistaken, but I think your way of thinking is a little naive. I’m not saying you’re stupid or anything. It’s just that, especially the part where you wrote “オコサマダナア” in katakana, makes you seem childish—and somehow not Japanese.
