Do you feel "adult" enough for daily life?

This is something I wonder about, because it fluctuates for me. One day I can feel like I've got all my stuff together and quite impressed with my "adulting" in "the real world" (like making doctor's appointments over the phone, making sure my bunny has enough hay stocked up), while on other's it feels like I'm floundering and need to take a class on time management, no matter how much prep work I've put in previously.
Do you consistently feel as if you're "adult" enough for your day-to-day life?

I've always had Peter Pan Syndrome and was never really happy about growing up. I still feel like I'm 15.

I'm coming to the realization that not many adults feel much older than a teenager.. that the "fake it til you make it" thing just continues on until, surprise, you're old and still feel 15.

No kidding! I feel the same way. I think once you realize that being an adult means having to ensure you survive in the world, being an adult is much, much less appealing, haha.

I'm with phredwreck on that with one exception, I don't need anyone doing it for me, I'll get to it when I feel like it.
Right now I don't so I'm here just a punchin away. Maybe later I'll feel like an adult but it won't last long, I'm in my second childhood, can't wait for the third one

Exactly! There are just some times where you feel on point, and other's where it's like, "Where's my bubba and blanket? I wanna go watch Power Rangers."

I absolutely agree with you Funtool, there are many young people who are much more mature than their adult counterparts, and it all depends on how responsible and mature the person is, regardless of age. Some people have to "grow up too fast" in the world and don't get to experience childhood as most people would see it.. it's sad when that happens, but usually those people are much stronger for what they have gone through in life as well.
