My age says I’m an adult but sometimes I think other people know more about being an adult than me.

    No it’s not bullshit. I just don’t see those skills as adult. i had them at like six years old.

    but i will admit most people probably didn’t have the level of self-determination i had from a very young age. and i meet people regularly in my 30s/40s now who still lack a lot of basic life-skills like understanding the consequences of their actions, and who seem to be eternally seeking some sort of parental figure to do their executive functioning for them. Whether it be a partner as a parent, or a self-help guru who has the ‘answers’.
