...why are you crying?
Puer aeternus
or eternal boy is used in mythology to designate a child-god who is forever young. He covets independence and freedom, chafes at boundaries and limits, and tends to find any restriction intolerable.
"The one thing dreaded throughout by such a type of man is to be bound to anything whatsoever." - Marie-Louise von Franz
"Common symptoms of puer psychology are dreams of imprisonment and similar imagery: chains, bars, cages, entrapment, bondage. Life itself...is experienced as a prison." - Daryl Sharp
This is associated with/related to/similar in ways to Peter Pan Syndrome.
& well - I still believe in fairies.
