well, as the title says.

the person in question is not having bad intentions. it's just that he is very immature, he doesn't know when to speak, what to speak or when to shut up. he constantly bothers you with the most idiotic topics, both in public and in privacy and his ideas are out of touch with reality, because he hasn't experienced much so far besides a few aspects of life in which he constantly revolves. he's the type of person that gives you the most silly and useless gifts, so you see, there was a good intention, but then when you open the gift, you just want to smack him repeatedly with it. lol. we're not together or something like this, though he sort of thinks we are (yet another sign of his unbelievable maturity for his age)

the person in question is a grown up by age. i've talked to him about this several times and he's taking an absurd attitude about this, he refuses to speak to me for several days after we've had the talk and then comes back as if nothing happened, including taking up his old habits.

anyone has experienced this and dealt with it somehow? what do you think?
