I am 23 years old. Sometimes I think I do act my age. I've had full time jobs and I have responsibilities including paying rent, having a car, looking for work and worrying about money when I don't have work. I'm in an adult relationship with a man who has been married before and I think for the most part I handle it pretty maturely.
On the other hand, I was fired from my first full-time job for not taking enough responsibility. I sometimes throw small hissy fits when my boyfriend isn't acting the way I want him to. I also cry a lot. Unfortunately when I get stressed, I let it get to me and I often get more upset than I should over the smallest stuff.
I think the lesson here is that no one acts their age all the time. I don't think you should have to. I think life is about being mature when you need to, and having fun and being childish when it's appropriate. This is what I strive for.
