Why are adults into coloring books lol?

Like seriously my mom colors into them like she’s in kindergarten wtf.

 

Colouring can be very relaxing and all........

 

Maybe there's a part of your Mom that's fed up with being an adult and this is her way of connecting with her inner child?

Being sick of adulting is fairly common past the age of 28, by then most people figure out it's all bullishit.

 

I have a bunch of adult coloring books. It's really relaxing and it gives me time to just unwind and forget about stressful things. Plus it's very therapeutic for me too.

 

A psychologist recommended this as therapy

 

I prefer the velvet kind. It's beautiful furniture. Glitter and fluorescence would look good on these too.​

 

Coloring engages parts of the cerebral cortex while relaxing the amygdala.

If you are trying to reduce stress, tension, and anxiety, coloring is an effective way for many adults to accomplish this.

Kindergarteners tend to be very happy people - they laugh far more often than graduate students do. Adults who scoff at coloring have lost much and have much to re-learn.

 

Because being an adult sucks. Colouring is also calming of the mind.

 

I never heard of this but it sounds pretty cool. Like doing crosswords but visually, I bet it's relaxing and exercises a different part of the brain than the standard word/math puzzles.

Gotta admit tho, it sounds funny how the OP worded it

 

I use coloring apps as a stress reducer

 

I still need to get me that Yellowjackets coloring book

 

Welcome! Introduce yourself!

 

Just turned 29. Can confirm, I'm sick of adulting.

Now if you need me, I'll be in my fort.

 

Because as a kid I sucked and coloured outside of the lines. Now that I'm older, I have better coordination and need to 1-Up my shitty younger self.

✊ I'll show me!

 

They were huge sellers during the covid pandemic.

 

I find them relaxing; many of them can make me "slow down" by having coloring spits in nooks and crannies that'll make you slow down and look carefully for them. That can be frustrating but strangely relaxing as well. It kinda proves that you can't be too old to have a coloring book...

 

Keep my day going

 

I love Colouring books, I find them very relaxing and Therapeutic, I also love doing Diamond art paintings too, they too are relaxing .

 

I have four coloring apps on my iPad!
