My least favorite term is “adulting”.
When I hear it, I want to respond with, you mean taking care of shit on your own? Because you’re not living at home?
Early 20’s it’s cringey. When someone is pushing 35, I want to vomit on them.
“I don’t like it when people say ‘life is hard’ in ways that I disagree with. When I hear it I say ‘you mean exact synonyms that take longer to say?’”
Out of context that’s quite a statement.
It’s a weird kink, but I’ll own it.
I usually just say “I feel like the people who are good at adulting don’t use the term ‘adulting’” and get a “yeah, that sounds about right” in return.
I think there’s a brief window of time that it fits, like college-age when young people are learning how to do a bunch of stuff for the first time.
After that, it just sounds like arrested development (as in “perpetual adolescence”, not the show).
This is triggering me to start the series over again… It’s been years since the last rewatch.
I just blue myself.
It doesn’t seem to bother me as much as others in this thread. I just read it as being responsible or doing the daily shit you are supposed to do. Which is often annoying to do.
It almost sounds like something that could have come from Seinfeld, predating the term by almost a generation.
