Sometimes I wonder when exactly we're supposed to feel like adults?? Or like a teen (since I'm not an adult)
But like, one day you're a kid, and the next you're expected to know what you want to do with your life, understand the world, and make important decisions and just have everything together and be "good" and contribute to the world.
And everyone else seems to be figuring it out too and I'm scared I won't be able to figure it out and fail everyones expectations?
Maybe nobody really knows what they're doing? Maybe we're all just learning as we go? But what if I don't learn, what if I never learn how to be an adult???
Anyway, that's something I've been thinking about lately

there's not such thing like feeling like an adult, you will always be you. The thing is, that you will start to perceive things in other perspective as your problems will change to "worry about school" to "damn i can't loose this job".
Don't worry about that (as much as you do now, i used to worry about that a lot too), enjoy the present.

Growing up is incredibly uneven; sometimes you start taking "adult" actions, yet, deep down, you remain the same child. Being an adult is primarily about having a vast amount of life experience—experience that allows you to take life in stride and respond to situations more appropriately and quickly. And, of course, growing up is about taking responsibility. That said, it’s worth noting that a staggering number of adults aren't truly adults at all; they are infantile and incapable of taking responsibility for their own actions

Don't worry, dude. I think the feeling of being an adult—or an adolescent—is really more about how we start to perceive things with greater maturity, rather than fitting into the conventional ideas of how an adult "should" think—ideas imposed on us by a society that wants everyone to conform to a specific, idealized model of adulthood. Life is far too unpredictable to know for sure whether you’ll turn out to be a "good adult" down the road; it’s best to just let things flow and follow what your heart and mind tell you
It's a thing really interesting to think about anyway, cheers
