Grab a chair, it's going to be a long one! I'm 46 and still not getting the feeling. Well, after all those years, I've figured I'll never get there... so as long as I can get along by holding a job, paying my bills, and not be such a pain to my wife and kid, I figured it's what it's gonna be!
And "being" an adult is such a NT concept, defined by NT standards!
