Part of growing up is learning some hard truths in real-time, be it “Oh wow, that costs more than I realized, “Oh wow, I didn’t know that part of me could make that noise,” or the classic, “WHYYYYYYY?” 

This week, users on social media have been sharing their most controversial, unpopular opinions about adulthood. The posts have been in response to a July 16th tweet asking, “What opinion about Adulthood will have you like this?” accompanied by the now-ubiquitous photo of Flynn Rider from Disney’s Tangled. 

The responses have been cold, hard and in some cases, painfully true. However, there are some legitimately helpful takes mixed in there as well. Let’s dive in:
