When you gotta cook whenever you feel like eating something instead of just telling your mom, "I'm hungry".
For example, "Let's buy veggies on the way home and we'll cook something nice for dinner. That's how Adulting works xD.

Refers to feeling Depressed, Horny, Anxious, unprepared, and or lonely due to being at an age where you are transitioning between child and adult, usually between 18-26.
I am sorry, but these feelings you are suffering from are often those associated with "Pre-Adult Syndrome" and the uneasiness of not knowing what your future will look like.

"Paradox of the responsible adult":
advocate or companion says exactly same as patient: former listened to, latter barely acknowledged/too articulate to need help or support.

Suddenly begins to feel like invalidated, ignored, infantilised,or spoken-at by professionals - irrespective of needs, urgency, complexity, education, age, or life experience.
Always the same issue with advocacy and experiencing same 'paradox of the responsible adult', no matter how old or educated.
