I'm tired of everything I do being trying to be grown. At 26 years old, I'm a little kid trying to be mature and it's so funny. I envy the actual people who don't have family gawking and laughing at them for showering and cooking.
I think I can empathize with you to some degree on this. I'm the baby of both my extended families, so even though I'm now middle-aged, there's always a condescending tone when I deal with them. You never get away from that stigma. I try to remember that that is a 'them' problem, not a 'me' problem.
If it's any consolation, no adult knows what the fuck they are doing. There's are those who admit that, and those who lie. We're all just winging it.
Just keep doing the best you can, and don't let the bastards grind you down.
Also, if you're able, consider getting some counseling. It usually makes a world of difference. Stay strong.
