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 feel like an adult, but only because my experience has forced me to change my idea of what an adult is. Adults are simply people who are legally defined that way and there are no real superpowers that come with it. Just societal expectations which can rightly or wrongly line up with life experience. I wouldn’t expect a 7 year old to drive or do taxes but I can do those things because a) I have to, and b) I have the needed experience.
Also humans are smarter than other animals but we’re still dumb on a cosmic scale. That’s why so many people have imposter syndrome about adulthood
