Even with a good career and all the “adult milestones” I don’t feel like an actual adult. I feel like I’m pretending to know what I’m doing. Anyone else experience this?

    I’m 42. I have blue hair, watch cartoons, play board games, wear novelty shirts, no I am not an adult. Until I have to be.

      sadly this is what i means to be an adult. we know when ‘i don’t want to’ becomes ‘i have to’. :(

      You sound fun! I’m same age. When I was like, less than five years old, I decided grown ups are just people who think they’ve learned enough. Therefore, I vowed to never grow up!

      I’m 59 going on 12. I have purple in my hair and a combined 15 piercings between my ears and my nose. The piercings started after I turned 50 except for the original 2 that I got when I was a teenager. I’m considering either a 3rd tattoo or a nipple piercing, can’t decide which.

      You’re only as old as you feel.
