Is this an ADHD thing?
If the reason for it is that adults are supposed to get shit done and you can't
Agreed. I do feel like I'm a child but I didn't think it was ADHD related.
It's because I can't get anything done as an adult. I have to pay quarterly taxes and it never happens on time so I get a penalty every year.
Just one example.
i think it just generally happens with neurodivergence, there can be a lot of infantilization and since society has few considerations for differences it's more difficult to be self-sufficient, which makes you feel less adult.
