I think Jason is someone who hasn’t really thought of himself as a child since he was like 10 and this has been (canonically!) reinforced by adults in his life but at the same time he is emotionally stunted due to trauma + depending on which timeline you’re talking about losing actual years between the ages of 15-18 to catatonia, and thus in his early 20s he is rapidly approaching this phase of life:

Yes, but add in the hc that Lazarus Pit fixed Jason's stunted growth due to malnutrition.
Due to treatment throughout his childhood, he wasn't destined to grow tall. He was 4'6" when he died at 15. He probably wouldn't have grown much taller.
Yet, after his bug juice dip, he's now 6'0". He shouldn't have gotten that tall and he wouldn't have. One day, he woke up from his catatonia six feet tall, alone, surrounded by manipulative enemies, and with the sporadic memories of a child.
That line is both metaphorical and literal in its application to Jason
