How to stop feeling so much younger than I am?

>I've not got a dad as such, is this the cause?
no, you're just stupid. not having a dad is a ridiculous excuse for feeling young and I strongly suspect feeling young is your excuse for failing to meet whatever goals you've set for yourself. You're shitty and should not feel confident going to school or anyplace else.

lmfao, thanks. I presume you want some reaction out of me but I'm not going to bite.

I appreciate you taking the time to reply however.

Start accepting responsibilities into your life. The more things you need to manage or take care of (and are able to handle), the more agency you'll feel you have over your life

Once you feel like you have actual control over how your life plays out, you will feel like an adult

The most significant way of which people feel like adults is through independence and responsibility. As I've grown up and gained personal responsibilities I began to feel older. There was a time in my life, which I'm just starting to get past where I denied myself responsibility and lived the same age every day. Maybe it is personal, or maybe it's a fairly common thing, but I believe that independence is the key senpai.

Somewhat unrelated, but now that I think of it, it's somewhat ironic that older generations don't understand the process of maturing into an adult. They just figure, "hey wtf is wrong with this kid, he's 16, aren't you an adult by now?"
