Immature is a better word to use when someone is doing behaviors that indicate their brain development hasn’t caught up with their life situation.

That word you used is a dogwhistle indicative of an extreme religious right wing ideology. That’s why you won’t explain it - you can’t. You don’t know why you’re afraid, you just are.
