At what point is liking childrens toys sad?

How do you get the dry boogers out if you don’t pick your nose? - sh.itjust.works

I always get dry boogers and they’re impossible to remove when blowing into a tissue.

Depends. Are you doing it because you are escaping from your adult life? Yeah then it is sad. If not, and you are doing it because you like the toy itself and keep it around as just a happy object, then there’s no problem.

I mean I do use it as a form of escapism, but my life is tip top otherwise, so id say its not a big deal.

Its just hard to find others to enjoy the same things! Id love to have a goldeneye night or a lan party or something but it seems like no one does that anymore.

I know what you mean.

I have a lego set (about 100 pieces left of the original) and I keep it and maybe make a random object out of it because it reminds me of my time with my parents teaching me how to.

I don’t it in the mindset that “oh I hate my adult life I wish were a child again”. Being in adult has its upsides and I accept the issues that come along with them.

It’s not the what but the why that matters in anything you do.

So enjoy yourself :) Let other people manage their own lives their own way. Have fun!

I was thinking how there's healthy and then unhealthy escapism. A break versus avoidance.

That aside, in support of you, I can't see how building with Legos for part of the evening is any 'worse' - less mature, sophisticated, or what have you - than watching some sitcom or YouTube slop. Certainly not sad in either sense of the word. You are actively feeding your creativity and maybe processing out life stuff (play therapy is a thing, even for adults). How cool is that?

Yeah. The reason behind your chosen activity matters, that’s all. Are you avoiding responsibilities and the processing of your feelings? Bad. Just having healthy fun? No problem :)
