Artist Makes 30 Humorous Comics About Daily Realities (New Pics)

The feeling never really changes I think, it's just your thought patterns that do. I still feel the same way I did when I was say 16....BUT I've developed a love for kitchen appliances and now agree with the parents in movies I used to root for the kids in.

I think, for me, there are two parts. One, I started looking back at some of my decisions and attitudes instead of thinking "yeah!" I thought "yikes". Don't get me wrong, my core beliefs haven't really changed, I have just realized I am, well, lucky to have survived all the things I did as a kid and that I am not the kind of person to do that stuff that way anymore. Also, as a parent and a teacher, I have realized I am both an authority figure and not "one of the kids". That doesn't mean I try to stand separately, or "put people in their place" (that's not being an adult, it's being a bully) but I absolutely lack some of what it means to be a child and they definitely lack some of what it means to be an adult. That said, I know that it was a gradual process to get where I am, and I know now that being an adult isn't nearly as far from being a child as I thought at one point and I am quick to jump in to defend "kids these days" or "young people" from any generational or age based bias.

Yes and no I'd say. I feel like I'm pretending a lot, but I still see a bunch of younger people as toddlers. Like with the Ariel example. But there also so many young people who are so mature I wonder if I'm the only one faking it.

Yes. Being an adult is about making choices that direct your life in purposeful ways. It doesn't change you as a person, it's not like click, I'm an adult. It's gradual.

Im 43, female, and no. Every ten years I say "I'll be an adult at 20/30/40. Now I guess it's 50. My boss told me for years I have the mind of a 12 yr old boy. However recently I did age to 16....but still a boy. Never understood the boy part. But whatever, I'll take it. NEVER GROW UP!

I think when my second child was born because my in-laws left (we lived with them)on vacation when she was two weeks old. I responsible for keeping two little humans alive so I had to be an adult.

Sometimes I play a weird mind game with myself. I pretend teenager me suddenly wakes up in my brain and, as if he was watching a movie, gets an insight of my adult daily life : driving my car, coming home to my apartment after a day at work or from errands. Being blasted by my face in the mirror. And also realizing what he sees is not only his future life, but some obscure, remote future, like 30 years ahead. Then he feels disappointed at the mundanity of it, the lack of real high-tech and flying cars, although he can notice some digital devices that are almost enough to blow his mind (like my "old" portable PC compared to "his" Atari 520ST). Do I still relate to that kid ? Definitely. It's still me. But on the other hand, so many things have passed between him and me. So many experiences, good or bad. And so much history. Well, it's still me, but really not the same version I'd say.

I am literally still a child. In a 40 year olds body. I actually feel like a toddler.

adulting is HARD!!! don't wanna, not gonna

Once I realized my parents were right, that I DIDN’T know everything

40, not yet sure it happened ;)

Some people have arrested development and never really mature past a certain age. I definitely do feel like an adult. Although there are few things I do and like that make me feel like a child at heart.

I always say that growing is inevitable, growing up is a choice. I have a friend, two months older than me, full adult, she's a nurse and we just went shopping for a bland grey blanket. Meanwhile whilst I'm trying to adult according to society, am also swooning over the House of The Dragon Funko Pop figurines, sleep with an Alice in Wonderland blanket and a Where's Waldo blanket I bought last year (both came inside a huge popcorn buckets) and nurture the fantasy of becoming a rockstar full time. And I hope I never change because I plan on being the coolest grandma.

Honestly probably never. If it weren't for responsibilities I would still be like how I was as a teenager. Just, minus the stupid boneheaded sh!t because of life experiences.

It comes and goes, but honestly, most of the time we're just sort of winging it.

I'm 35, going to be 36 soon and.... not really. I'm more disciplined and (a little) more mature than I was as a teenager, but I know I will always be a child at heart. For example, the name "Uranus" will always make me crack a smile.

Your dad tells the truth. Adulthood is really just cosplaying as whatever you think an adult should be until you die.

Almost 46, still a huge kiddo

I’m 40. I’m a huge manchild (except I’m a female but “womanchild” just doesn’t have the same ring…) I get along perfectly with my 20something co-workers. I don’t understand/get along with people “my age”. I dress in fanciful long socks and graphic t-shirts with cute animals or anime characters on them. I wear a wallet chain. I am a child in all but the legal sense XD I am 100% pretending to be an adult.

The world stopped in the ‘90s for me. I am 45. Don’t let my kids know.

I'm 38 and have children of my own, I definitely do not feel like an adult! I relate to ur father lol!
