poll: tomato nation on acting like an adult
So I've been reading Captain Awkward a lot, and it's mostly constructive and funny, although sometimes I worry that it's making me fixate unhealthily on all the things that are wrong and broken in my life. Earlier this week she was answering a letter from someone who "always falls for fixer-uppers", and she linked to this post on Tomato Nation about acting like an adult. With, admittedly, the following note:It’s certainly not an absolute standard I hold other people to (and I flinched when I re-read it recently and saw some areas that I could definitely raise my game), but there is a lot in there about being reliable and taking care of yourself and not expecting others to pick up your slack. I love this, especially [#19] [...] You don’t need your friends to be perfect (no one is perfect), but when you’re making friends look for signs that they know how to take care of themselves and put their best foot forward in their relationships.
I thought some of it was good, but some of it annoyed me, and I was curious what other people thought. So have a poll. I am curious both about whether you agree with the stated advice, and whether you think your stance on the subject matters at all.
