    I’m in my 30’s and I still don’t feel like an adult. I always feel like I’m mimicking what someone my age should be, and then when I go home, it’s like, “finally, away from all those scary adults.”

    I always felt I am mentally 16. Can a 16 year old do adult stuff? Yeah, could probably trust them with instructions and stuff. Should you? Fuck no, stop asking them to be an adult! I don’t think I’ll ever feel adulty.

    This is really healthy to accept and admit.

    For me it’s self-respect. If you learn to treat yourself with enough respect you are already filling out a huge portion of the adult form.

    Maybe it’s full, round and healthy growth in general that helps…

    Same, absolutely! I’m always afraid grownups are gonna figure out that’s what I’m doing.
