How do you act like an adult?

Asked by envidula61 (1036points) June 15th, 2011

People seem to use that phrase a lot: “act like an adult.” Clearly, the phrase is used in a variety of situations, and it probably has a different meaning in each situation. Maybe it is just a symbol for something else.

Still, I wonder what people mean when they say that. Do they have a picture of some specific behavior that constitutes grown-up actions, or is it a more amorphous kind of thing? Just a feeling?
