I have a 60k per year job, and I've gone up about 20k in about a year and a half. I'm self sufficient as far as money goes, have paid taxes, have had sex with a female, hell I've even written a (bad) novel.

I'd done all the things a man should do. But I don't feel like one in the slightest. Most of the time I feel like a phony about to be exposed at any moment.

I'm confident I'm living my life more or less the right way, but I swear it still seems like I'm a teenager just faking my way through it all.
 
yes, i haven't lived at home since i was 16 and out of college on my own and completely financially independent at 20, so yeah i guess i feel grown up :shrug:

i'm still a kid at heart though. i have a stuffed moose and shit :lol:

Nope. I went for a long time with my V-plates. I went out for a long time with a virgin girl and never pressured her at all... and she never gave me any :p

After we broke up, I'd had enough, went out and met a girl and said "I'm gonna fuck this chick," told her she was beatiful and I respected her and wanted to be with her and blah blah all the standard bullshit.

Next day I was no longer a virgin. Perfect behaviour failed. Being an asshole worked.

To be honest, turning my back on months of "perfect gentlemanly behaviour" made me feel like more of a child. But at least I no longer have my V-plates.
 
23 and I feel like an adult albeit a retarded one, I still need my dad to explain adult stuff like aspects of finance and banking etc to me all the time.

Edit: You early 20 somethings want to feel old? go back to your highschool.

how can you be financially independent and not afford any shirts with sleeves you dumb gook
 
24, still don't feel like an adult, I kind of thought that there was some kind of place marker that you'd be just be like an adult, and your perspective of the world would be forever altered, it's a myth.

Why? At what point did you begin to think "I'm not a kid anymore" and really believe it?

Marriage, mortgage, and career
I pretty much work all the time, even when I am not at work, on the weekend I may go hiking or do something fun but in general have pretty grown up life.


As far as not “being a kid anymore” I never really felt like a kid, I had to grow up pretty fast. I don’t feel as young as I used to because physically I can feel it, I don’t run as fast as I used too, I don’t heal as quickly etc etc

Now I am not saying I am old, far from it I am just not young as I once was, and I am aware of that.
