Im now 30 and still feel a lot less adult than I thought being adult would be.
The difference is I’ve learned how to handle various adult tasks that did not interest me before. Bureaucracy, taxes, investment, insurances etc.
But I also still watch the shit out of TV, love video games and other various things I loved as a kid. I’ve just learned to be passionate about even more things than I was, and love them even more.
There have been some changes in my tastes but they’ve been fairly rare by comparison. Most changes came from learning and maturing.
For what it’s worth though I don’t think most people are like this. All in all, I’ve found this to be the minority case.
At 30 you are still a young adult. I bet you are still playing those video games at 50, because that is a cultural and generational thing rather than an age related thing, but that the mindset around the activity would have changed slightly. Call it a middle aged mindset, if you will. Middle age adult is a different phase of life than young adult.
