So I think it’s normal to have that imposter syndrome of not feeling like an adult to some degree, but I think it’s pretty extreme for me. And the imposter syndrome has somehow become WORSE between 21 and 25. At 21 I was like “I have no idea what I’m doing but I’m sure I’ll figure it out” at 25 I still have no idea what I’m doing and I don’t think I’ll ever figure any of it out 💀
