In layman's terms, self-actualization is when you have reaped the maximum potential out of your personal talents, abilities, creativities and ambitions. Self-actualization only happens when all your lower primal needs have been met (e.g. physiological needs, emotional needs).
While self-actualization initially paints a pretty picture inside your head, do not be fooled as the journey is actually quite excruciating. In order to become fully self-actualized you'd have to push yourself to the limits. You'd have to devote yourself solely towards your ambitions and talents, no slacking or fun and games. The world's biggest entrepreneurs such as Steve Jobs were 100% self-actualized, but boy they were under a lot of stress and often overworked to the core.
In summary, self-actualization is a very good thing, but it's not for the weak-minded.

Somebody who, in the face of opposition, symbolizes a glowing positive force in this cruel mocking world. Somebody who speaks the truth and does not ever second guess themselves, despite being attacked and humiliated for speaking the truth. Somebody whose only source of truth is derived from the scientific method and not from existing policies. Somebody who doesn't let their age, gender, disability or any other stereotype get in the way of spreading positive wholesome change. To be like Greta Thunberg takes great courage, as they aren't just going against the current of a river but the current of the entire ocean. Being like Greta Thunberg also means acting completely within one's own agency.
Unfortunately in this rather cynical day and age, people often misconstrue another person's words and intentions. It is not a coincidence that most of these people are adults and older folks. Psychologically speaking, as the more older one becomes, the less tolerant they are to adopt new ideas, attitudes, and changes.
So, at heart, Greta Thunberg's war is mostly with the older generation who lack the mental flexibility to change their outdated mindsets. There is more hope to be seen here with Thunberg's generation, at least with regards to the awareness and radical action towards environmental sustainability (mind you, this is for the sake of humanity, not politics!). Once the older generation has gone the way of the dodo, Greta Thunberg will become even more relevant than ever.

My young daughter is like Greta Thunberg, she is always dismayed that nothing significant is being done to combat the deforestation of the Amazon rainforest.

When an adult's interests, behaviours and manner of expression (i.e. personal traits) are not so much different compared to their adolescence.
Adult youthism should not be confused with simply acting immature or childish. Rather, it is mostly referring to the positive and idiosyncratic aspects of adolescence. It is denoting the ways in which adults challenge (largely unwittingly) typical stereotypes associated with being an adult. For example, a middle-aged adult who still likes to build and collect LEGO sets or is still a fan of kids shows (e.g. spongebob) can be described as adult youthism. Personality-wise, adult youthism can be attributed to an adult who likes to acts silly in naรฏves way or is always playful and cheerful.
Adult youthism is something people often lack of. Sometimes the reality and burdens of adult life can make you forget the joy and freedom of being a kid, and the appreciation of the simple things in life.

My friend: So how are things with Claire going?
Me: Oh it's going great. There's something about her that I find very intriguing. She's soooo innocent, and I mean that in a wholesome way! She's never negative about things, only positive. And she's a very open-minded person as well. She also apparently confessed that she still watches Spongebob which is awesome because I low-key still like that show too. Generally she's just such a joyful and wholesome person to be around, she's like the epitome of Adult youthism.
