Do you ever truly FEEL like an Adult?

[pervertedjester]

I've dealt with a lot of "adult issues" in my life but day to day I usually feel like a Kid pretending to be an Adult.

Yes, I'm more grown up than everyone else!

Slightly, I have my moments but I always try to be an Adult.

I eat healthy, leave me alone.

No! No, No, No, NO!

I do, in the sense that I feel the responsibilities involved in the word adulthood, but it's temporary, a moment in life, at another moment I'll feel like a teen, at another moment, a kid. What I know for sure, is that I can parade as an adult even at a moment I don't feel adult.

Plus, I'm 7777% convinced that everyone I ever saw is basically a kid in disguise, to me, like me, we all are able to parade as adults. Able to parade, but not able to be an adult 24/7 because I am certain that it is psychologically impossible to sever the link that connect us to the kid and the teen we were.

Thus, I am certain that adulthood does and does not really exist.

I’ve tried being a grown-up, since I was 13! Now, I be an adult when I’m seeing patients in my externship, or speaking with clients at the Rape Crisis Center. But as SOON as the weekend arrives, I cast off the bonding shackles of adulthood, and have as much fun as is humanly possible without risking arrest!

I just love clubbing with friends, especially when my fiancé can be there as well. but it is nice to be with a man who does not mind if I go out with friends, if he has to work, and can’t go with us, w/o being jealous, or suspicious! He knows I would NEVER cheat on him.

Realizing, that we only have 4 months left before my career actually starts, when being a "non-grown-up" will become more and more difficult. So hell yes I party as much as I can. Lee and I were out until 3am or 4am last night/this morning! So much fun 🤩 Growing-up sucks!

I hope this answers your question, hun.

I never actually felt like an adult. I always felt like a teen for the longest time especially with my ex because he literally took care of everything and I just had to take care of him and the house, I wasn't really living life or had any friends tho so I didn't seem to grow in that time. After separating I started actually taking my adult steps, getting some more schooling with high marks and working on my mental health and issues. Then I met a guy who I thought was "the one" and he totally destroyed me but I am finally getting over that and getting myself back. And I suppose now I am starting to feel more my own age but I still have my immaturity and I still enjoy when my grandparents, parents and sibling treat me like a kid lol.

After my father passed away in 1990 when I was 36 I began to feel like a man (if he was displeased with me he'd say,"Listen, boy..." when I was in my mid-thirties) and officially after my mother's 2003 demise when I was fifty. Today I'm 71, look 40 and sometimes fell about 93.

@Crimsyjo you asked me for examples of what makes me emotional, I've given you some, here is another one ;)

[Crimsyjo]

@Maybe_Maybe_not awww bless. Yh. Very true. Most people have amazing histories to share. And the nicest people of all usually have the most sad stories!!

I definitely stayed feeling about 17 through all my 20's. Not mature or grown up. No personal growth. I think it's easy to stay same when not challenging yourself. In my 30s I ran around like a naughty girl in her 20's. Then met the man who turned my world upside down. Not in a good way. I grew up then. Actually felt ten years old. Fat. Miserable. Stressed.

At 40 i felt like I fully blossomed. Healed from that relationship. Lost weight. Felt mentally and physically at my peak. Felt grown up but all in a good way.

Now... erm... I'm going through another stage of reliving the naughty 20's. I think I'm running around being pretty immature but I just can't seem to care. And I feel young, healthy, vibrant and full of life. But I'm also working on my career, doing a degree. I run my finances and house. Have my car. Managing my social life, friendships and doing my best with my family life. So that's all grown up stuff...

[Crimsyjo]

Ten years older that should say. Not felt ten years old lol

[beefcakebradybatson]

I LOOKED 17 into my mid-twenties.

[Crimsyjo]

@beefcakebradybatson HAHA me too! It's a blessing as we get older tho right lol

[beefcakebradybatson]

Which why we can get hot young broads !!!

[Crimsyjo]

@beefcakebradybatson YESSSSS
Tho in club last night when all the sexy hot 20 Yr old guys were asking my age I said 35 not 45... but they seemed to believe me so that's good 😄

[beefcakebradybatson]

Congrats, Crimsyjo !!!

I have tried really hard not to grow up. I think I am holding my own.

[Lynx122]

It took me a while but I do feel like an adult. I'm still limited because I'm disabled but my mindset is adult.

[strateguy632]
