I'm almost 30 and I feel like such a child.
I don't feel like an adult in any way. I have no ability to come across as if I'm in control and know what I'm doing (lack of confidence, mainly), and even less of an ability to even look the part. I don't feel well spoken, or that I come across as mature in any way.
I only know the bare minimum basics about grooming, and still have absolutely ZERO ability to look put together and professional on my own. I can't put together a nice looking outfit to save my life. All I know is jeans and a T-shirt, and I feel completely overwhelmed in a department store full of clothing. I don't even know how to fix my hair or do my makeup in a flattering manner, only enough to just get by. I really don't have anyone to go to for help or advice, as everyone I know is extremely wishy-washy and can't keep a consistent opinion to save their lives, so I can't rely on them for anything. I feel like a little kid because all I can do is put on my same old jeans and a T-shirt with my naturally messy looking half-assed hair that I don't know what to do with, and I even look childish in photos (it also doesn't help matters that I look much younger than I really am).
When it comes to handling my finances and making responsible life choices, many people always put me on a pedestal and say I do great for my age. But, I can't help but feel that I look and come across like a silly little kid, and I feel that most people see me that way as well.
I don't know if this is just sort of a crisis I'm having because I'm turning 30 this year and feel like an imposter of an adult, but I feel like I'm over a decade and a half behind for my age, and it's embarrassing.
