You're protecting yourself!. The "act" is a form of defense!. Instead of just really being yourself, and thereby risking exposing who you really are, you put on the mask of "childishness" to prevent others from viewing your "true self"!.

Via the mask you feel less vulnerable and open to attack by the others!. That's my "intuition" on the matter!!!!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I couldn't tell you why, I could only guess!.

If you want to make a conscious effort to stop acting that way, you will need to catch yourself when you act in a childish manner and remind yourself that you don't want to act in such a way!. If you catch it when it happens, you can also see why you are acting that way!. It's a gradual process, you won't catch it every time!. Sometimes you will realize it afterward and still be able to get some insight into why you acted that way!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It happens to me too!. especially wen i try to be nice or make friends with someone i start to talk childishly, it works cos it makes them laugh [whether they want to or not] but sometimes i try to control that, because people take u for granted!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
