I'm in my 30's and I still don't feel like an adult. I always feel like I'm mimicking what someone my age should be, and then when I go home, it's like, "finally, away from all those scary adults."

My step father, at 77 said to me "you never feel old in your head. I'm an 18yr old in a 70yr old body".

Our bodies typically cease to function around 80, so yes. We will all be dead much sooner than we would like
