I get that. When I was in my late teens I basically saw myself as a young adult. Then by the time I hit 30 I felt like I was finally a young adult for real. Now in my 40s I think I finally feel like a "normal" adult.

Yeah, I think this happens to a lot of us. I definitely feel like real adulthood doesn’t happen until 30s. 20’s are the transition years.

I mean it depends on what happens in your 20s. For me, my 20s were very real and weren’t just transition years due to my overwhelming medical issues and how much of it I had to go through on my own. I had to grow up (more than I had already) really quickly because if I didn’t i probably would’ve died.

I feel the opposite. I’m 19 but feel like I’m way over my head.
