Even with a good career and all the “adult milestones” I don’t feel like an actual adult. I feel like I’m pretending to know what I’m doing. Anyone else experience this?

    I’m turning 40, I have 2 kids, and my self-image hasn’t changed since high-school. I have to consciously think about it to realize that other people see an adult when looking at me. Like my first reaction when I do something “grown-up” is to woder if people are impressed by a kid acting so mature, and then I realize that I’m not a kid anymore.

      Thinking I can do things, start doing it, then my body complains. Looks in the mirror, sees a 40-year-old looking back.
