How old were you when you stopped thinking you were a big shot and you too were wrong and actually knew fek all?

I never really had that choice tbf. Had family in our household who are crippled with disability and their needs took over very early on in my life. I moved out when I was 19 and have been on my own since. Didn't really have any problems after that. I got married at 27. I guess I've been lucky to learn a lot of hard lessons early and that really made my 20's go smoothly.
24 is exactly the age I think a lot of people cool down and settle into who they are. I would say my stress went down a lot after that point... I proved what I wanted to prove to myself about being confident and capable and I was less enthusiastic, but even more secure in my late 20's than I ever was in my late teens/early 20's. It's like before then you have a weird biological need to make an impression on the world. The benefit or curse of the young?
Many people start to care less about **** as they age,
especially giving a **** what others think, and that I think that helps to smooth out any wild rough edges in someone's personality... a lot of young streaks can go out gracefully in that manner anyway.
