An 18-year-old man suspected of planning attacks against women has been charged by France’s anti-terrorism prosecutors in the country’s first case to be exclusively linked to the “incel” movement.
I have to agree with this. I am nearly 50, but I was incredibly immature when I was younger compared to a lot of my peers. And I think individually people need to be assessed based on their maturity levels. It was what it was, and I can’t change it, but my circumstances led to that situation.
Plenty of counselling and an interesting life, which we all have probably had in our own way, has put me in step with the majority of my peers now, but I do believe that people need to be seen as individuals.
Same. People age quite differently.
I didn’t start puberty until I was 16. I didn’t get attracted to girls until I was 17. Much later than my friends.
I got a job at a pizza shop when I was 20, and I made friends with the 15+16yo employees there, I got along much better with them than people my own age. I can see how that’s was potentially creepy, looking back on it, but it seemed normal enough at the time, those people were my good friends.
I matured very slowly. I didn’t graduate uni until I was 29. I’m now 39, physically I look like I’m 30, mentally and psychologically I feel like I’m 30.
