13 ways you're better at adulthood than you think

The Great Secret of Adulthood is that no one ever really feels like an adult.

All around you, 30-somethings in business suits eating fancy salads and sending important client emails are desperately hoping you won't discover that they're really an eight-year-old who'd so much rather be watching cartoons and eating ice cream.

But adulthood is less about the salads and the suits and more about things like handling challenging situations at work, knowing yourself well, and showing compassion for other people. In other words, the more subtle stuff.

Below, we've rounded up 13 of those subtle signs that you are, in fact, a real, live adult. It's okay if you don't feel like all 13 signs describe you - even if only a few of them fit, you're well on your way.
