Everyone needs attention sometimes. Perhaps during those times, you could identify what you need and reach out to a friend offline or on here to avoid getting bad attention.
Don’t ever grow up completely, though, because I like you the way you are! There’s nothing wrong with some fun, fantasy, and whimsy unless they’re pushed to the extent that they’re holding you back.
