Is it normal to still feel like a kid?

Mostly.Normal for most people

Yes, it’s normal to still feel like a kid sometimes, even when you’re an adult. Growing up doesn’t always come with a sudden feeling that you have everything figured out.

A lot of people look around at adult responsibilities and wonder when they’re supposed to start feeling like a “real” grown-up. There isn’t a switch that flips: you can be capable and responsible while still feeling unsure, playful, or comforted by familiar things.

That feeling can pop up more during big changes or when you’re around family, where old roles have a way of sticking around. It’s only worth paying closer attention if it’s causing distress or making it hard to handle things you want or need to do.
