A lack of understanding interpersonal interactions.
And it’s more of a feeling than it is any single behavior. You just… know it when you see it.
They simplify too much, think values/morals/rules are shared, obvious, and uniform, and that getting along with others happens solely on their terms. They kind of act like everyone but them is an NPC - not realizing to everyone but them, they’re the NPC.
lol. While writing that out, I had that thought too, but decided that saying it was more of a feeling was vague enough that I could hide behind that when someone inevitably pointed out it could apply to some adults, too.
I do feel it’s noticeable - an adult that has some sort of social struggle vs a kid. But it’s like… A kid seems to make statements that come from a place of naïveté, whereas an adult seems to make statements that come from a place of ignorance. Adults seem to couch their words in defensive language, while kids seem kind of blindly assertive. It truly is more of a feeling, I think.
This is the best way of describing it. Assertive statements with very naive foundations. I can recognise some of my own thought patterns from when I was young in some of the things they say.

That sounds like an adult with a social and/or psychological issue.

Tomato Tomato
uh, you got them backwards, it sounds all weird that way. I think you meant “Tomato Tomato”
No, it’s definitely “Tomato Tomato”
my mistake. I thought they’d said “Tomato Tomato” but now I understand I misread it and it’s “Tomato Tomato”. I ought to be more careful.
Might add lack of general understanding but it’s pretty much what you said
