Recently, a news that went to the toilet without paper to call the police has aroused heated discussions among netizens. A 29-year-old woman reportedly went to the toilet at a mall in Wuhan when she found herself carrying no paper towels and that there was no one else in the toilet. She came up with the "brilliant" idea of calling the police on 110 and asking the police to deliver her tissues. After receiving the report, the police severely criticized her, accusing her of wasting police resources and occupying emergency help**. The woman was not convinced, but quarreled with the police, and even falsely accused the police of beating her. She also uploaded her own ** and fake medical records to the Internet, trying to win sympathy, but was unanimously condemned by netizens. In the end, her account was also banned by the platform.
This incident reminds people of a series of "giant baby" cases that shocked the society last year, such as "high-speed rail hegemony", "returnees gnawing the old", and "bus falling into the river". The protagonists of these cases are some adults who are psychologically stuck in the infant stage, they are self-centered, lack the sense of rules and moral constraints, and once they encounter an unsatisfactory situation, they will lose control of their emotions and adopt excessive irrational behaviors, bringing serious harm to themselves and society. So, why is there such a phenomenon of "giant babies"? What are the harms? How do we deal with it?
The causes of the phenomenon are multifaceted, including individual psychological factors and social environmental factors. From the perspective of personal psychological factors, there are mainly the following aspects:
Lack of self-awareness and self-management skills. Such people lack a clear understanding of their own personality, abilities, emotions, needs, etc., and will not take effective methods to regulate their psychological state, which leads to weak self-awareness, lack of self-control, and stagnation of self-development.
Lack of independent thinking and the ability to live independently. This type of person is accustomed to being dependent on others, especially parents, and is never responsible for their own life and future, nor is they willing to take any risks and challenges, which leads to a lack of autonomy, a lack of creativity, and low adaptability.
Lack of empathy and cooperation. Such people find it difficult to understand and respect the feelings and needs of others, and do not establish good communication and relationships with others, which leads to selfish attitudes, conflict-oriented behavior, and isolated situations.
Homeschooling mistakes. Parents lack scientific methods and concepts for their children's education, neither provide enough care and support for their children, nor provide enough freedom and space for their children, which leads to the hindrance of children's psychological development and the formation of bad characters and habits.
A social atmosphere of competitive individualism. Such people live in a highly competitive and highly personal society, they face great pressure and uncertainty, and they also lack effective social support and social participation, which leads to a lack of trust and a sense of belonging to society, and the formation of a self-protection and self-satisfied mentality.
The social culture of the awareness of rules and the rule of law. In the social culture in which such people live, respect and observance of rules and laws are not widespread and in-depth, and they can often evade or break rules and laws in various ways, and will not be punished and educated accordingly, which leads to their disregard and disregard for rules and laws, and forms lawless behavior.
Maybe these "giant babies", or "little fairies", don't feel that their behavior is wrong, from here it can be seen that decoupling from the real world for too long will form a rare primitive phenomenon, I hope everyone will not become such a "little fairy" in the future.
