I was talking to my 70 year old neighbor today. He doesn't consider himself an adult yet.

As a 60 yr old I find you all babies

I'm 28, married, and have a kid and I still don't feel like an adult.
thegr8rambino
well thats not a bad thing!
intelliswine
Adult enough to die for their country but not adult enough to buy a beer.
FunkyCake
In my country the drinking age used to be 16. Changed to 18 just this year. Just a random fact I thought of reading your comment :)
intelliswine
Your country knows what's up.

As a 25 year old, I still get uncomfortable calling friends parents by their first names.

I'm 35 and I still wouldn't consider myself an adult

I'm baffled when a visitor to my workplace refers to me as "that man" or "sir" or "mister." I'm not an adult! I'm 24

You get used to it once you hit 30.

I still get, "young lady". I nearly punched a student the other week when they called me "ma'am"!!!

35 married, own a house, and have a 401(k) and I feel like an 16 year old fraud every day.
ThisWillNotEndWell
31, totally broke. Don't own anything, just student loans. Today I don't even have money for food. I guess should taken a different path..
BrazilianThunderPanda
That would be why I feel like a fraud. It was all timing and luck. I did the Running Start program in high school in the late 90's. Con't >
BrazilianThunderPanda
I graduated with my AA degree the day before I got my HS Diploma. and was able to get a job as an entry level web dev & "failed upwards".
BrazilianThunderPanda
Not sure if you had "Running Start" if not, its a prog where HS kids go to Comm. College instead of reg. HS and the state gives the college>
BrazilianThunderPanda
the money they would normally give the HS. Kids earn both HS & College credits, and the whole thing (except books) is paid for by the state.

18-year-old younger brother said "I'm a man, I can do my own laundry" the other day and whole family laughed heartily.

No man. I'm 23 and love being an adult. If I want to eat a full cake I will, but also if I want to plan my own vacation, I will.

As a 33 year old, yep.
sidfromtoystory
i know it's meh because i'm still relatively young but i'm 19 and i'm exactly how i was when i was 15. most people around me have changed

As a teenager, this both frightens me and makes me really happy...

Both are appropriate

I'm 23. I definitely feel like an adult around 18 year olds, but feel like an 18 year old around 30 year olds

I'm 28. I definitely feel like an adult around anyone, but i feel like 60 around 18 year olds.

TemetNosce000
I have very little expectations for this age. I'm just coasting to 25 so I can rent a car
chupapedos
Same! The last birthday I'll look forward to for this exact reason. Everything after this will be a blur. I already forget my age now...
AllYourPeppermintAreBelongToMe
This! I'm 25. Feel like 30+ around 18-year-olds. Feel like I'm 16 around 30-plus-year-olds.
tsaroth
wait til you're 30+ around 18 year-olds.
officerjt
It's all about life experience. I was married at 18, kid at 19, divorce at 20, started my career at 21, remarried at 25 (1/2)

If that's the case, I'm going to feel like a 14 year-old when I'm 50, if I'm lucky.

Bought a house at 26, 2 more kids since then, and I'm now 30 and 9 years into my 20 year retirement.

I am going to be 36 in two months. I feel old when my 20 something friends are out partying, but I never feel like an adult.

When you were younger did it feel like everyone who was in their 30s all had it together?
LadyLNI
Absolutely.
molestmymonkey
1. Exactly this. I'm 31 and yes, yes it did. Everyone felt like an adult because I was almost the youngest in my entire extended family

2. with the exception of 2 younger cousins and now that I'm older I still don't feel like I'm an adult.

I'm 39 and I'm still trying to figure out when this 'adulthood' is suppose to kick in. While I wait, I'll play a bit more game.
llandy
Same. While I do feel like things don't affect me emotionally as much as they did when I was younger, I figured by now I'd know everything.
BlizzardWave
Same. I'm 38. The growing number of age in my life does not depict my inside life and state of mind. Feel (and look) like 25.
WhoNeedsToiletPaperAnywayEh
Same here, except that my soul feels too old, whereas my mind is young and about my look I better don't talk. Also I like to draw dragons.
ColdWetAnimalNoses
40 and have no idea how to adult. I am guessing that is why I am still single.

You don't become an adult at a set age. You become an adult some point between you not depending on others, and others depending on you.
Cruxador
What happens if those both occur simultaneously?

I wish I could give this comment more up-votes.

So eventually you turn into a child again, if you live long enough.

Exactly.

I have people depending on me and I definitely don't feel like an adult.
wittyusernamefourhundredandseventyeight

feystorm
So if nobody depends on you, you never become an adult?
AKUUUUUUUUUUUU
To some extent, yes. Being independent is the first half the battle.
NotACanadian
Knowing is the other half!
MisterCheesePuff
It doesn't necessarily mean children, Like an employer probably depends on you to work whatever job you do.
MySecondAccount
No he said somewhere between point A and point B, where B is someone depending on you. Thus it is not necessary to reach B

I think the older you get, the more you realise everyone older than you is just faking it. I think there's probably 16 adults in the world.
someuser
Perhaps becoming an adult is a bit like getting taller. You don't really notice because most people around you become tall at a (1/8)
someuser
similar pace, so the becoming an adult thing doesn't seem like you're getting older and wiser, you feel the same as everyone else (2/8)
someuser
and they probably feel the same, too. So while you're slowly growing in your experiences, because they come on so gradually, like (3/8)

paying rent, paying bills, washing your clothes, buying expensive things, tidying your own shit, you don't notice because it's small (4/8)

Only difference between adulthood & childhood is that you've discovered adulthood is a lie & tell it to children to make them listen to you.

That's right. I occasionally pretend to adult at work pretty well, but inside my head it's still all spaceships vs dragons+dinosaurs.

I'm pretty sure maturation to adulthood is the exact moment when your brain forgets that it is pretending and then that's just you forever.
