A major psychological and social issue that arises when an adult avoids the personal and professional responsibilities of being an adult. Some of the symptoms include difficulty expressing emotions, procrastination and unclear or poorly defined life goals, and "magical thinking" around mistakes or responsibilities, blaming others for their problems, have difficulty forming a deep connection with people, often desperate to find a partner but has difficulty maintaining meaningful relationships, and trying to escape their reality to make their problems disappear. The person’s maturity level usually does not match their age.
Ivan is twenty-seven, but has not graduated college, does not have many close friends, can’t seem to maintain romantic relationships for long periods of time, and tends to procrastinate a lot to avoid taking care of important responsibilities. He appears to have Peter Pan Syndrome.
