I don't know how to grow up

I'm 18 but I feel like my family thinks I'm still a child. I just graduated high school but I'm taking a gap year because I'm not ready for college. I'm going to work, but I feel like a burden and a deadbeat. My sister tells me to grow up because I get angry and yell at her a lot, but isn't that normal for anyone? Idk, I feel like a child and don't know how to act my age. Any advice??

It’s absolutely normal. You get to a point where you really [b]don’t[/b] feel any different. You work, you pay your bills and take care of the “grownup” responsibilities because you have to, but you’re still [b]you[/b], if that makes sense. If I owned no mirrors, had no early mornings aches, I’d still be...around 30, I suppose.
It will be okay. 😊
