They got bills. They got brunch reservations. Some of them even got therapy. But make no mistake—mentally, they’re still a YN. We’re talkin’ spiritually 23 even if their knees are giving 33. They might’ve upgraded to high-quality shea butter, but emotionally? Still out here chasing vibes like it’s homecoming weekend.

Here are 9 signs they (or maybe you 👀) are still a YN mentally—grown-ish, but not all the way grown.

1. “What we doing tonight?” is still a weekly question.
Plans don’t need to exist, just vibes. Even if they just complained about being tired for 3 business days, let a flyer drop and suddenly the energy is back.

🎵 “Where the party at?!” – Jagged Edge

2. They pregame like the function might run out of liquor.
There’s always a bottle in the bag, shots before the Uber, and a toast in the parking lot. You’d think the venue don’t sell drinks the way they come “prepared.”

🎵 “Before I let go… Imma take this last shot tho.” – (probably somebody in your crew)

3. Sleep is still optional.
They’ll go to brunch, day party, and try to hit the after spot—all on a Sunday. Grown folks be home by 10. YNs be outside quoting Future: “Sleep? What’s that?”

🎵 “I can turn your boy into a man… after the club, get into ya bed…” – Destiny’s Child

4. Still can’t RSVP to anything more than 72 hours ahead.
The commitment issues are strong. Ask them about next Saturday and they suddenly got amnesia: “Let me see how my week go.”

5. They treat every social outing like a runway.
It could be a kickback in somebody’s living room—they’re still showing up with an outfit like they’re about to headline a montage.

🎵 “You fancy, huh?” – Drake

6. Sunday brunch is their Coachella.
They’re not there for eggs. They’re there for bottomless drinks, photo ops, and the DJ to spin “Act Up” before the check drops.

🎵 “If it’s up, then it’s stuck!” – Cardi B

7. They believe in ghosting… as self-care.
They say they’re “protecting their peace,” but really, they just don’t know how to say “I’m not interested.” Giving situationship energy with therapy vocabulary.

8. They still say, “One more shot” when the DJ plays their song.
The Uber has been outside. The tab is closed. But “Back That Azz Up” hits and suddenly it’s “one more for the road.”

🎵 “Girl you working with some—yeaahhh!” – Juvenile

9. They talk about healing—after next weekend.
They’ve saved all the zodiac memes, posted about boundaries, and journaled once—but as soon as it’s a lit weekend? “God still working on me.”

No Shade! There’s nothing wrong with having a little YN in your spirit. It keeps you fun. Keeps you spicy. But at some point, your life insurance and liver might need to have a conversation.
