Ive alwways had it. I just couldnt imagine myself as an adult, just couldnt. Everytime i thought about it just nothing would come in my mind. Have you guys ever felt like that?

I have a hard time thinking of myself as an adult. Mainly because I don’t grow facial hair. I’m 20 btw. When I can grow a beard then I’ll consider myself an adult.

All the time man. Still can’t believe I’m almost 35 - honestly don’t think I have matured past the age of 17. When I hit 40 is gonna feel weird as ■■■■.

I’ve been an adult for about as long as I haven’t been one, and I still can’t quite picture it.

I’m scared to become an adult.

i turn 20 this year and its scaring the â– â– â– â–  out of me

I’m 28 been an adult for a while but I feel only somewhat of a “responsible adult”. I only work part time, and my parents support me / I live at home. It’s literally a dream of mine to be independent one day and fully live an adult life but its hard for me to hold on to that aspiration while being SZA, even though I know many have succeeded,

I turn twenty in January. We’ll get through this together :sunglasses:

When i was 17 i used to look like 13. It sucked so much.

I’ve felt like that. What @Jimbob wrote is how I feel. I’m 55 years old but I still feel like an immature 17 year old.

I can’t seem to find a job or get disability so I feel like a bit of a burden on my family right now. I know I got to keep trying though.

yup… i’m 35 but i act 14. lol.

Actually become adult is not comes with older age it s come with regular job and responsibility.before i got job i was never see myself as an adult but after i get real job now i can see myself as an adult.so if you want to see yourself as an adult don t wait to get older.just find a job and start working.

I’m almost 40. But I don’t feel like my age. I’m stuck in teenage years. Most people don’t believe I’m 40 next year. Most people think I’m 25-30 years old.

I sometimes need to show ID to buy tobacco. You have to be 18 to buy tobacco in Sweden.

Am I an adult? I try hard to be. I have a job and two kids. But in my head…my picture of myself…I’m like 15-17.

I’m 35 and I don’t see myself as an adult even though I work and pay bills and drive and vote.

I once asked my Mum a similar question and she said she doesn’t feel like an adult, she only feels like she did when she was a teenager. And my Mum is the most responsible adult I know.

I don’t think anyone feels like anything other than how they feel. That sounds obscure but it makes sense in my head so I’m sticking with it!

I don’t think about it much. I put myself on the same level as I do most of the people where I live. We don’t seem like kids to me, but we don’t seem like adults either. I view us as separate from the rest of society.
