Of course you are absolutely right. And I'm not seriously concerned about it. But at times I think it would be handy to have a better grasp of adult societal norms. Somehow I think I missed a large chunk of education, since other "grown-ups" seem to know about a lot of things I don't know at all. Professionally, I get a lot of "grown-up" respect. But there are still lots of times when I suddenly get this sinking, child-like feeling of "Shit - why don't I know how to deal with this?" If that's the price I pay for retaining my child-like sense of playfulness and silliness (which I value highly), then it is definitely worth it. Maybe I just want the best of both worlds: to be able to choose to fit smoothly into "adult" society but also to be able to be child-like when I choose. Too much to ask?
