Basically
Me: turns 17 and is half way finished with 11th grade and has to find out where i want to go from there and where to apply and how to get better grades and how to be accepted and find out what job i want for the future to know what subjects i need to pass and what to do to prepare for them. And then i have to realize that i suck at almost every subject and forget what i have learned way to quickly and realize i have no chance of getting a life.
Now that i have written that down i feel like if i could feel fear or sadness or worry then i would freak out and suffocate in the emotions. Still seems like a lot more than when i didnt write it all down.
I kinda always knew being an adult is harder than what kids think it is and that it isnt a paradise but instead mental and emotional torture the society set up for themselves in order to make everyone work as a big machine and actually get humanity somewhere. But now that im half a year away from being an adult i see that it is what i thought it would be x2

I'm tuning 20 in a couple of months. I have always thought that when you're 20 you're an adult. Realizing that now that I am a couple months of from turning 20 feels weird. I also felt weird about turning 13, it was like: oh I'm a teen now, that means I. I'm. ah no wait let me go back to the playground. I'm not as unwilling to switch age groups as I were then, but it just feels like I'm going to have to change, to be more responsible, more independent, more adult. It just feels weird, I'm happy I am the person I am, and it feels like I finally gotten a good grasp on who I am, and that now life is going to throw me on to another loop were I try to figure out just what I'm going to be doing.
This is. really long, but I guess I feel better now, writing it down.

It took me 7 years to finally understand adulthood. I'm still young at 25 but man, if you don't start improving yourself next thing you know you're exactly where you left off but at 30 years old. If you're always waiting for the right time to do something, you'll never get anything done.
Most people just see the outside adult work like job, family, home, car, ect, but the real difficult work is mental and emotional. When you truly start letting go of your old self you get to a point where you don't even recognise yourself anymore. If you feel like a kid or a teen mentally while an adult then you need to know that's a negative mentality. It's not easy but if it were everyone would be doing it.

I'm a recent college grad and I'm trying to find internships or jobs that will hire me and give me a chance to learn but I keep seeing the requirements and get super discouraged and end up not applying for some. I want to work as an editor and I know that I should just start writing or try freelance blogging or writing for practice, but my anxiety and insecurities keep getting in the way, telling me that I'm not skilled enough and I don't have what it takes to reach my goals. Adulting is a lot harder than I imagined that it ever would be.

I don't want to sound Pessimistic, but nothing in adulthood sounds worth it. The constantly working in a destructive environment just so you can pay bills, forget to buy things for yourself, the unexpected happens in which you need to fix it, just to do it all over again? Who genuinely wants it, why WOULD anyone want to be an adult when it's always a rock road. I'm not out of highschool, but being an adult sounds like a boring and tedious process that leads to absolutely nothing. What exactly are we doing here anyway?

I just got hired in this kinda dream company for some, and it's gonna be my first job. I've been struggling with anxiety since last year and I can't stop thinking I'm not actually fit for their job and everything it represents. I can't handle stress and pressure and that's exactly what I'm bound to do in this company. I'm not a business, outgoing person, but that's the job. I know I could feel gratitude or something but there are a handful of fears I can't even explain, or I'm too ashamed to say

As of right now I'm 19 and in college: D
Even though I am going through adulthood rn I still feel like a kid but with overwhelming responsibility. After having a talk with a counselor, I learned that you just have to take one step at a time and to allow yourself to make mistakes. I have regrets of not making the most of my childhood but I'm still young and I know that there's so many people who are going through what I'm going through and it will all work out eventually.

Being 30 I have the issue of how I feel things should be especially as a female. I feel like I should be further in life and at my age I start to wonder if it's meant for me to get married and have children since my biological clock is ticking. It doesn't help when family members belittle me to make me forget I am in fact an adult. So these are things I deal with and am pushing to overcome to be a content adult.

I feel like I haven't adult-ed yet and Im 28. Still in the same house with mom, same lifestyle every day. Sometimes I down myself if I look at what old HS classmates do on FB. But even though I haven't learned to drive yet, I did successful graduate my ba in psychology this past semester. And even though I still work at a ups factory and haven't grown up I still want to, just haven't figured out how to yet.

Step 1: cry because you can never be a kid or teen again
Step 2: be grateful that youre still relatively young
Step 3: harness that slowly-decaying youth to be confused as shit
Step 4: constantly compare yourself to your more-successful friends
Step 5: realize you have freedom to do WHATEVER you want but also sabotage yourself so you dont feel too bad about not doing what you wanna do

Turning 24 in a few months and still at a loss on where to go job-wise after university. I'd say I'm navigating adulthood well in other areas but when it comes to jobs/careers my mind is just blank, no matter if I'm good at things or smart (low self-esteem doesn't even want to say that, it's so difficult to see the way forward in this area? And it's frustrating too!

Leave room to make mistakes
This. Now that Im an adult, I finally can accidentally spill a glass of water and just wipe away the mess I made without any fanfare rather than being yelled at for a good ten minutes and then having it wiped away for me. Feels much better.

Idk about you guys but moving out was the best thing I ever did. Sure there is the financial struggle and making time for everything but the freedom outweighs everything.
Knowing what I was getting into was also very helpful.

When I was a kid, I thought that I will be this outgoing adult that I always wanted. Now that I am in college with social anxiety and stress over everything, the person I am now is very different than what I expected.

Living alone at 13 makes me feel like im in adulthood. although i think adulthood is harder, its kind of hard feeling lonely awhile being busy studying and doing chores, cooking and even socializing with others.

I'm not necessarily a adult but I worry about things like college, only a few times do I daydream abt adult good, like being able to live in a cozy apartment or something. But I'm sure we will all make it.

Feels like only yesterday, I was 5 years old telling my parents I wanted to grow up so badly.
Now Im 17 with one more year left to go in high school; this is the most afraid Ive been in my entire life.

I used to think being adult meant I could do anything (legal) that I wanted to do. Now I am in my last year of highschool. It feels a little scary, thanks for the video it boosted me more
