Get the Adultsmug. A term used by people who are incapable of growing up or maturing and is often followed by complaints or excuses.
Wow! Becky is really good at “adulting”.
When in reality this person no longer wishes to act like a child and decides to move forward in life.

Get the Adultingmug. A fake word used by idiots (millennials mainly), in an attempt to turn the adjective adult into a verb in a feeble attempt to describe if a person is actually an adult or behaves in an adult manner and thus doing the things any responsible adult with an average or above IQ can handle. You cannot "adult" something. It is as bad or worse as the overuse of learnings in the corporate world.
Jane is so responsible, she pays her bills on time, walks the dog, grows her own food and calls her mom every week, she is so good at adulting.

Get the Adultingmug. 1. The stage after adolescence.
2. Legally, someone who is (usually, depending in what country you live) 18+.
Now, there is a difference between legally and biologically.
At 18, in most country, you are legally an adult.
But, since most people continue to grow in some way at 18, they can't be considered adults physically.
Even if most people at 18 are "physically" teenagers(they continue to grow), you're still considered an adult, but it's not rare that people who are 18-19 are called "teens" (probably because of the number, eighTEEN, nineTEEN)
It is confusing, since at 18-19, you're both an adult(legal) and teenager(physically).
Because of that confusion, people of that age (18-19) are generally called "young adult".
