Being an Adult

Post Reply New Topic

I wish I can be more of a grown up. I can be mentally toooo young for my age, but I can still feel like a grown up, but not 46, it's sooo confusing, I can feel like I'm two different ages. If Im at a restaurant, tripping can be hard. I hate that I can't do alot of adult stuff.

On a good day I am 17, on a bad one I am 5. My drivers license keeps trying to tell me I am in my 40s.

I don't think anybody feels like their age all the time. A lot of people fake it. You're not required to know how to do anything. I've caught my allistic mom (who is a vet tech so she's no stranger to math) just guessing at tips and rounding up, or using a calculator. It's not a big deal. My grandmother always has somebody help her deal with the bank because their phone system is so confusing.

If you want to be more grown up seek out someone you like who is quite mature and try to learn from how they are socially, that's basically how I did it. I learned a lot in just 2 years.
