When did you really feel like an adult?

For me it was when I learned as a teenager and young adult to stay away from people and situations that cause constant drama. I see it on here all the time with people talking about new partners or friends who bring a heap of trouble with them. It made me feel like I had truly grown up when I was able to identify this and just go no way do I want to be part of this.

What about you?

I’m divorced, remarried, two kids, own a few properties, work full time with a professional reputation/have major responsibilities.. nope. 🙂‍↔️

Maybe felt adult briefly, and just once, when joining the local library.

The first time I possessed more alcohol in my house than I intended to drink that evening. That was proper adulting.
