Stop growing

“Stop growing” is good to hear when you’re a kid or when it comes from someone older who has known you since a young age. It’s how I already feel about my newborn baby. It’s used to express admiration for a younger person’s achievements and progress. It’s beautiful to see, but you also miss them being so young and small. You also realize you’re getting old yourself LOL.

“Stop growing” could be bad once you are an adult. It can be seen as controlling or manipulative. This person may feel threatened by your personal growth and development because they fear that it will change the dynamics of your relationship or their own sense of security.

So, stop growing, but don’t stop growing.
