Is being a "goody two-shoes" a sign of immaturity? 1

I've always looked at people who fit the goody two-shoes stereotype, especially adults, as being incredibly immature for their age. This was mostly an intuitive judgment.
But if I had to speculate about why I feel this way, I might say it's because young children typically don't question moral authority. Then when they become teenagers they rebel against and question everything, and when they finally become adults, they take a more moderate stance where they realize it's ok to push against some barriers, but not against others.
This I think is the main reason why I view goody two-shoes as immature - they remind me of the 1st-grader saying, "I'm gonna tell teacher!"
Has anyone else felt this way too, that goody two-shoes are immature?

Most of the time I would say no, but after having a falling out with a friend (context, I am 23 and she is 35) because she was trying to get me to validate her feelings of hatred towards the moral relavtiveness of her lesbian boss who got married (in Mass) and I wouldn't and than she went off on me about how she maintained her childlike innocence and I ruined myself with drugs, I feel like goody two-shoes is.
She also is the person who had her first love just recently and told me there is no way I have ever been in love cause what they had was so special no one else could have had that. It was like looking into the mirror of my 19 year old self all over again, and I tried to tell her that everyone feels that way after their first love. Then she goes off on a half hour long schpele about how she's not the one's who's changed, I am (never was a conversation point) and how drugs have ruined my mind and there's no way that I could ever stand up for something.
So yea, goody two shoes people are immature. They just never have really truly put themselves out there to see what life is about.

Everything you said about your friend shouts immaturity in my opinion.

yea she's like a family friend and I'm relatively young so I maintained it out of respect for my dad, but its just getting to the point where it's insane.
Her sister is a schizophrenic and I would say is more sane than her. She's beyond talking to any more.
I was trying to be open minded, like maybe she found a way that gay people legitimately are bad, but when I kept asking how it affected her at all she just kept saying how condescending I was sounding and ignoring the question. like page after page of texts that were not even about the issue. if I had a smart phone I'd post the convo, but I don't.

You can still question moral authority and choose to be "goody". Not everyone comes to the same conclusions we may. You could call some people in the subculture stupid for not taking the advice of the government and not doing meth or heroin or whatever - cause we all know some of them screw it up and die or become hooked of whatever.
Who's more mature? Well, what's mature?

They've never faulted and erred. If you go your whole life with no resistance, when the day comes you won't be prepared.
I had a friend who was a "good" person and was as plane and vanilla as one can get. He had no passion for anything in return. He's just a good little tool to be exploited. I could never follow a man like that or work with someone accordingly. It reeks apathy and weakness.

I think of a goody two shoes as somebody who is similar to the Pharisees. More judgmental in nature. Not moral in a philanthropic or good deed sort of way, but somebody who simply complies with the rules, and constantly emphasizes that they are in line with the rules whereas you are not.
Genuinely good people will often hardly point out or recognize their own goodness.
Goody two-shoes are more likely to kiss butt to rulemaking authority, because they perceive befriending authority as a tool to gain power over the others who are subject to the rules.

I would also say that generally good people know that they are capable of evil and it troubles them. Goody two shoes could never believe they are capable of wrong doing, cause how could they, they're them. I envision a good two shoes as more passive too, although i see which kind you are point out.

'Adults' can be pretty immature overall. People think that just because u have a steady pay check or u got a car, house, wife n kids, wutever, that u are somehow more mature than most people and that's just not true. We seem to live in this skewed up world where the more money u have the more u are somehow worth as a person and it's really fucked up.

people-pleasers who behave overly-kind out of insecurity are immature.
if you're genuinely a nice person who doesn't need to do nice things to feel secure, that's maturity
some people are constantly afraid that others perceive them negatively, and therefore overcompensate by acting overly nice. these people aren't yet secure enough in their individuality which is why they come across as awkward or as a pussy

I wouldn't really say goody two-shoes people are immature. Most of those types live really "meaningful" lives under their definition of the word (families, good jobs, marriages). I know one thing though, they really aren't any fun to be around but its good to have 1 or 2 in your circle if you ever need a DD or something like that.

all the insanely successful people i've met have always been super nice and perhaps a bit overly generous. and always talk in an optimistic, goody-two-shoes manner.
i'm sure that depends a lot where you live, and what type of career those "successful people" are in
but the trend i've witnessed in my life has been: rising success = rising goody-two-shoesness

Anybody can have a label thrown at them, so it's hard to say if the person is immature.
But it's immature to insult someone with such a label. In this case, it reflects poorly upon the person who is doing the name calling.

What are you talking about mate? You just lightly insulted us about insulting people with labels.
Just because someone is a "good" individual does not mean they are unworthy or whatever, but there are those types that wade through life on the earnings and hard work of others just being wallflowers and then gloating on their status and superiority. I do not like those types. I have had friends, ex friends now, who have been like this.

I dunno. I try to be a good person and try to live the Golden Rule. The only law I break these days is my occasional weed jags. I'm hardly immature (or at least I think I'm not). Maybe I am a goody two-shoes, but I sure sleep well at night.

just like everything else in the world, this isn't black and white. its a grey splatter fuck.
i have met more than one kind of 'goody two-shoes'
There is the guy who is just ignorant of everything, he believes most things are 'too risky/dangerous' for him
There is the guy who is a goody two shoes because he is afraid. He thinks all the laws are just and are justified because of how bad stuff is.
There is the guy who has done it all and realized it takes you no where thats good. So he becomes a goody two shoes of sorts, because he knows how bad it can get, because he abused the fuck out of everything

I'm not just throwing labels at people. I'm trying to establish an archetypal person - somebody who is essentially a false good person, and distinguish them from somebody who is truly good.
Rubbing in the fact that you are very compliant with the rules and/or another person is not compliant with them does not make you a good person.
Doing so is condescending and narcissistic.

i believe in punishment and not by the law if you know what im trying to say
so does that make me a a bad person?
i know im a good person i know whats wrong and whats right.
i have examined bad, devil, just truly evil people trying to get my head around why there how they are i got alot of answers what is just really shocking
dont ask me why or how i know this.
but its just best to not focus on bad evil things and dont let it bother you we should not feel any harm of them or be worried or scared
we are much stronger than them

I can tell that my main flaw in creating this thread was failing to define what a goody two-shoes is. Most of you equate it with being a "good person" which is not at all the case.
You have to remember that morality is not black and white like many think it is - it is infinitely complex, always evolving, and people have been trying to define and understand it since almost the beginning of civilization.
However, my main distinction between goody two-shoes and good people is that goody-two shoes are condescending, strict rule-followers, and believe that they are better than you simply because they're following the rules and you're not. And they completely lack humility (which is a vital trait you'd normally expect in a "good person"). I guess if you're the type of person who thinks the consensus rules (whichever rules those may be) always represent what is morally right, then you may fail to see any difference between the goody two-shoes and the good person. I explained it more in a previous post I think. But I've gotten what I needed from this thread.

Ah, gotcha. Well, in those terms I'm hardly a strict rule follower, although I do try to at least be a good person.

this thread exemplifies stupid.

Envix said: people-pleasers who behave overly-kind out of insecurity are immature.
if you're genuinely a nice person who doesn't need to do nice things to feel secure, that's maturity
some people are constantly afraid that others perceive them negatively, and therefore overcompensate by acting overly nice. these people aren't yet secure enough in their individuality which is why they come across as awkward or as a pussy
sorry but you don't have a point here.
people who act overly-kind are people whom are kind, overtly. they are not making up for anything but people's insecurity in just being nice. 
so you have to act a little like a dick, is what you're saying envix, in order to not appear or "come across" as a "pussy or awkward", and in order to assert yourself as "secure in your individuality", and then you're "real" nice?
dude... what a load of crap.

They teach people not to trust each other and they break up relationships.
Yes, I would say so, maybe even the definition of immaturity once you know one in person.
I honestly have wanted to punch this guy I worked with for being annoying, he pissed off all the black people too. Not that I didn't like him as a human being, but it was like working with a miniature dickhead.

Agreed.
I am sensitive to the term as I was called a goody two-shoes simply for being interested in my classes and got along well with my teachers.
Funny how I never got good grades

One could also make the argument for rebellious rule-breakers being immature.

My friend's neighbor is a goody two shoes. She has called the police three days in a row to report the smell of cannabis. It was fucking sage every time. All she had to do was go over to my friends place and ask them to compromise. Most neighbors would, but this bitch just calls the cops. So in this situation, the goody two shoes is extremely immature.

I hate to hear that. There is kind of an anti-education, anti-intelligence culture in America, at least in the junior highs and high schools here. If you enjoy classes or certain subjects or study hard you are a "nerd." The cool kids were not always but often complete doofuses, class clowns, or downright apathetic. But that's a separate topic I guess.
Anyways, just because someone mis-labelled you a goody-two shoes in the past does not mean you should necessarily reject the use of the term in its proper context.

I wholeheartedly agree with that too. The point is that a mature person has found some middle ground that works best.

You're a nerd if you excel in those classes

A goodie two shoe's acts nice to everyone and good in front of everyone so that they can get the details or dirt it's ushery if the dirt gets the person into trouble
now if you're a nerd these may apply A. You take what ever you get lying down B. You're just smart and come from a decent background C. You actually have interest that are weird or weird for someone your age.
Like you wouldn't call a prep a nerd or a prep a goody two shoes which i spell goodie tooshoo's

Not necessarily. But the tendency to not question things, and obey authority for the sake of obeying indicates naivety..to me at least.
On the other hand, recklessness just screams immaturity(because who is more reckless than the youthful, who's brains have not yet finished developing and perhaps have not totally grasped mortality at that point)
but taking calculated risks or breaking rules for reasons other than for the simple sake of rebelling usually does not, in my opinion.
