I'm twenty-going on twenty-one later this year but I feel no different than back when I was a child or teenager. Is it normal to not feel "grown" at my age?
People are obsessed of youth and go to extreme measures to stay that way
However, let nature do its job, nobody stays young forever
i think we all feel like the world around us is changing while we're basically staying the same. but what we don't see is that we're changing as well, and we might not be able to see/notice it, but other people probably can.
but it's also true that getting older doesn't necessarily change the person you are inside, your character. everyone goes through experiences that shape and influence them, but how they respond to external events depends on who they are, and part of them is still a kid, and part of them is expected to act like an adult. in the end i think we're all kids with certain "expectations" that make us forget who we are sometimes
You're not very far removed from being a teenager, so that's fully understandable. Our socially determined age of majority is not linked to any particular physical or psychological development, just the general point of most people's lives where actions are sufficiently reasoned. People change very slowly and often indeterminably, until these "a-ha" moments where the cascade of personal differences becomes tangible. For now, just make a quantifiable list of the thoughts and beliefs you had as a young child and compare them with nuance. You will certainly find a substantial difference. Being a college age guy, you will still hang out with buds, play video games and do dumb stuff. You're still very different from the child who did the same things.
Your still young and made out of rubber bands and magic. Wait a few more years.
