Is it normal to still feel like a kid at 22?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s completely normal to still feel like a kid at 22. Becoming an adult doesn’t happen all at once, and plenty of people feel like they’re figuring it out as they go.

There isn’t a switch that flips on your 18th or 22nd birthday. You can be handling adult responsibilities and still feel unsure, inexperienced, or like someone should come along and explain what you’re supposed to do next.

People grow into adulthood at different speeds, and life milestones don’t all arrive on the same schedule. Feeling young doesn’t mean you’re failing at being an adult; it usually means you’re still learning, which is pretty much the job.
