Even with a good career and all the “adult milestones” I don’t feel like an actual adult. I feel like I’m pretending to know what I’m doing. Anyone else experience this?

    Depends on the point of view I’d say.

    • I pay bills
    • I deal with requirements and assumptions the society puts on me as a grown-up citizen who brings better tomorrow closer through hard work
    • I deal with hardships of my life through thinking, writing about them, cooperation, diplomacy, listening and discussing even difficult topics - also within my relationships
    • I embrace the consequences that my actions may bring
    • I try to rationalize my thoughts of the world
    • i try to be a decent example to kids and other folks

    .

    • I’m goofy, playful and childlike (you should see my behavior with my girlfriend)!
    • I enjoy small, “nonsense” things and they cheer me easily up
    • I’m generally relaxed of life
    • I get easily (over-)excited
    • I am an energetic person
    • People assume I’m younger via my habitus

    .

    So I guess I am and am not, in certain ways.
