When do people actually start feeling like an adult? I’m 20 but I still don’t feel that different than when I was like 16 in highschool. I feel like I should be more mature but it’s like I just get older but am still childish

For most ppl, it happens sometime during college. Being an adult for me is more about independence than age.

When your parents teach you how to be an adult. Your parents might have failed you on that one

My parents did teach me how to be independent. I take care of myself, I wasn’t saying I was completely like a child, I meant I haven’t felt the difference between how I was when I finished highschool to now. It’s more my mindset hasn’t changed too much in most of the things I do but I still do adult things and get my responsibilities in order

I honestly don’t go to those anymore. I went once and decided college parties were overhyped and was not this big thing like everyone made it out to be and I was better off being in my dorm drinking with close friends

Heard but it’s kinda the same. Kickbacks or house parties get old pretty quick. Took me till 23 to figure it out tho. Nobody’s rushing you to feel like an adult. Enjoy college but you will feel older eventually

I’m in the weird stage where I do try enjoying college and what’s supposed to be “the best years” but older people will tell me I’m to old to be doing stuff and I should be focusing on more important stuff and some things are for children yet others will tell me I’m young and should be enjoying life and I shouldn’t be worrying about some stuff cause I’m not old enough yet. I seriously don’t know where the balance is or when everything just clicks

Yeah bro that’s normal. Ppl will always try to tell you what to do. The trick is to stop caring. Don’t take advice from anyone you don’t want to become.
