[Serious] Adults of reddit, what advice can you give to someone struggling to come to grips with the transition into adulthood?

It gets worse. Seriously.

Expect to fail. You will not get through adulthood without failing at something. The best thing you can do when you fail is pick yourself up and better yourself from it.

Be careful of the people you let into your life from this point on. People will screw you over as an adult. Hopefully you have a good family and some solid friends.

Unfortunately I'm coming from the point of the guy who got screwed over. I don't want to paint a doom and gloom picture. I just want you to be aware of how many scumbags are going to come off as friendly. Be careful and good luck.

When you have good people around you that have your back. Enjoy there is a lot a fun and adventure to be had.

I hope you have a good life.

Don't fall into the trap of assuming that being an adult means you need to handle everything on your own. Don't be afraid to ask people for help or advice.

I would like to help but would need to know what the struggle is for you OP? It is different for all of us in some ways notwithstanding common themes. As Tolstoy said in Anna Karenina: "Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."
