| sigh... Baby boomers are in their 50s to 70s, dude. Anyone who is 25 is a millennial. People need to stop calling millennials boomers. -__- To answer your question, I started to feel like an adult when I was a teenager. |
 |
| On the internet, anyone older than you is a boomer, and anyone younger is a zoomer. I was starting to feel more adult and responsible around my 25th, when I started to take life more serious. |
| What you mean is a Doomer, or Millenial. You don't wake up one day and realize you are an adult. Instead it is a process. Finishing HS and gettigna job. Having more life experience. Not acting compulsively anymore, etc. Basically you listed a lot of good points. But all of it does not come suddenly. It is a journey. |
| Well at least girls have only started looking at you funny some people don't make it to their 20s before they get outed |

I work out so I don't get those old people pains. I'm a well-oiled machine, baby! People try to compete with me on the treadmill not knowing that I had a goal in mind. I do one hour when I'm on cardio bitches. |
| I still feel like a teenager I’m as irresponsible as one, for sure and I have no life goals or family it helps that people think I’m still a teenager when they look at me, too |
| to me being an adult just means being independent and self-sustaining started feeling like an adult when after college, I moved 80 miles from hometown for a job. living alone. |
| When I started doing warmp ups before exercises not because others told me to, but because I know I will hurt myself if I don't :/ |
| It was when I realized that no one in this world actually gives a shit about me, so I need to look out for myself. |

Yeah, wonder why people keep confusing the two? But I started feeling like an adult at like 17 so not much has changed since then. Just that my bills got more expensive. |
 |
| Overall I feel the same. I've never had some road to Damascus moment where I suddenly transformed into an adult. I have adult responsibilities and have maybe changed my views on some things. But I basically do many of the same things I've always done. |

| When I woke up after a whole night of working and my back made a sound. This is was not the first time but I would usually take some pain killers and be done. Not this time. I had to do two months of physiotherapy to go back to normal. |

| Dude I'm a millenial not a boomer. Anyway I started to have massive responsibilities around the age of 24 it was when I had to actually run my own bussiness had to pay for my house, car etc. |

| I don't remember what age I was but I had two 'Gosh I'm an adult now' moments. One was running into a friend from high school at Walmart and all we talked about was the health insurance in our job and the second was when I was invited to a Tupperware party just last week. |

Fuck, a Tupperware party, I feel like you need to have some serious courage to throw one of those, imagine getting that all ready and preparing and your shit bombs and no one buys a single piece. |

I graduated in 2012 and only like a year or two ago it finally started not feeling like I was just there. I swear it feels like my first 22 years and my last 4 years of my life have actually passed by at the exact same speed.

| I don't feel like an adult yet. I spend all of my money on games, figures, other hobby merchandise, and snacks. I also hate having responsibilities and having to force myself to be responsible makes me feel like sour grapes (although I try not to show it). I'll adult when I'm 30. That's when I'll get a real job and have a child, so let me procrastinate a bit longer. |
 |
| LMAO I knew the word boomer would lose its original meaning like so many others before. I wonder what will be the next one. OT: When I had my first job I guess. It felt so weird. |
 Life is a despicable endurance race |
| How the hell did 25 y.o. became boomers? |
 |
| when random kid said "excuse me, ma'am" to me politely |
| I'm a year and months away from 25 but I wanted to answer. You start feeling like an adult when you think about the surveillance system in your home and care about getting good deals to help your family save money. |
| I turned 30 recently and still don't feel like an adult. I'm quite happy not to. |
 |
| Ha ha. "30-year-old boomer" joke. Anyway. I'll go with 22, which was the beginning of my transition from soy-boy beta cuck to having most of my emotional shit together. |

| A few more things to add to OP's "you know your youth is ending when" list: - you realize you have or are expected to have a "career" - your friends start getting married and/or having kids - you get married and/or have kids, or realize you're expected to do so in the near future - you start caring more about personal finance (income, saving/investing, pensions, cost of living, housing prices, etc.) - you run into someone and realize you haven't seen them in over 10 years - you keep noticing how young up and coming celebrities are - you stop getting ID'd - people stop asking if you're a student - the idea of moving and starting over has lost its appeal and you're thinking about settling down in a particular place - you stop spending time on hobbies that used to be big parts of your life, either because you don't have time or your interests have changed Partypopperrulez said: big soccer mom moodI don't remember what age I was but I had two 'Gosh I'm an adult now' moments.

| I officially don't know what a boomer it's if someone around 25 it's called one now. |

LoneWolf said: @Josh makes me sad to call myself Canadian. |
| A few things. - My friends and family talk to me about my career. - Thoughts of marriage, friends telling me if I have found "The One". - Taking care of my Personal Finances. - Becoming a positive male figure to my Nephew. - Taking care of my body. Fortunately for me I can't relate to not getting not getting ID'd since I still look Young and Handsome :) |
| As I begin to head into my later 20s, there are the obvious things like body deterioration when I don't eat right or exercise enough. But I think the thing that really slaps itself in my face in terms of a reality check is the social norm of people my age being married and starting a family at this age. But I'm not really at that point in my life yet, despite my age. I'd rather spend my money on myself without any obligations. Or maybe I haven't met the right person that makes me want to actually consider the future. Who knows. |
| Recalling my own youth and young adulthood, it was a gradual process but if I had to choose one event, it was moving several states away after graduating from college to start on a new job. |

Chances of birthing down syndrome babies for a woman doubles from age 20 to 25, and it's only further downhill from there. There's plenty of folks who don't want to live their lives like a frenzied-pace race. |
Lorescothe said: WatchTillTandava said: There's plenty of folks who don't want to live their lives like a frenzied-pace race. She said she wants a child though. Just because someone doesn't want to live fast, doesn't mean they should be selfish and increase the risk of their children being born "slow". I don't see how it's frenzy-paced anyway, after being roughly half way through your fertile years, and about 1/3 through life. On the pace, people perceive time, life events, and their role within it quite differently, so what may not seem like a rush to you can certainly be taken that way by others. You say halfway through your fertile years (assuming it's roughly capped at 40 even though it's generalization, but that makes sense for brevity). Well, you don't really even begin forming and logging memories until 2 1/2 to 3. Your early and very young childhood until about 10 years-old feels like so much of a blur after you are only so much as a few years removed from it. Then you're in primary school until 18 (not even getting into higher education). So you're expected to have two years as a legal adult to yourself? You'll probably still be in a college or training of some sort for the average person. You'll have only even have started driving a few years prior. The brain is still developing until 25 for God's sake. For me stacking all those expected milestones on a person barely or not even out of school or their family home seems like an extreme rush. But on the child itself - even if someone wants to reproduce eventually, there's nothing saying that they'll be in any way more mentally, emotionally, and financially in an appropriate place to raise them in the manner they see fit at 20 rather than 25, or 25 rather than 30, or 30 rather than 35. There's 7 billion and a half+ people in the world and growing. Earth isn't going to weep and feel unfulfilled for being deprived of any random person's genes. And just procreating like rabbits rather mindlessly/carelessly if you're not equipped to deal with the fallout cannot just be taken the same way, as selfish and thoughtless for the ramifications of a child who may be deprived, but also destructive for the hypothetical woman in question, destructive for the society and the planet. |
