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

      Neither am I, I just think I shouldn’t be allowed to but a house or rent a car or use a chainsaw or raise a child unsupervised. That’s something grown-ups do, not me (40yo).

        that sounds like a massive lack of self-confidence.

        none of those things are difficult. most people do them on auto pilot. you are thinking way too much.

        you also falsely assume there is a ‘correct’ way to do these things and you will do it ‘wrong’. there isn’t.

        i used to teach. biggest thing most people have to get over is their pre conception of a ‘right’ way to do things. there is only really what works for you, it only doesn’t work if you aren’t able to attain your goals.

        like i meet people who think the only ‘correct’ way to have a child to make sure that child gets into Harvard… otherwise their child will be a failure at life. those people are idiots. the kid will be perfectly fine going to a state school, and maybe even not going to college at all…
