Being treated like a child

Hello I feel really angry about being treated like a child when I am now almost 20 years of age in April like not being listened to or understood like an adult, a lot of things like some jobs, renting or buying certain cars or other vehicles, cervical screening for women, young drivers no longer being allowed to drive at night time and also children's services being up to 25 when this is getting so stupid as I have read in the past about an article when a lot of people have said before that 25 would never be the new 18 in which I have always found true as we are all adults before we are 25 years of age. I feel like I need to talk to someone or a lot more people a lot about this as I want their opinion about this and what they think and I am hoping a lot of them would agree with me on it and also say that adolescence does not really end at age 25 like they keep saying online or anywhere else.

    I feel like i might be more of a child when it comes to taking responsibility my actions, my thought processes, financial decisions and unable to move on with my life with regards to securing employment, ability to create friends or meaningful conversations, stuck in my room day-to-day on the computer as i'm doomed to stay on this path forever. I look like  a normal person in their mid-20's, well as average as they can get.

    I'm usually left alone to my own devices, but there are times that give me much anxiety when i'm asked to do something, accept it (knowing that it's something i'd rather avoid) and stress builds up because I second-guess myself, thinking to myself "i can't do this, but i'll get compensated for the time I spend doing it" as I really have nothing else to do with my time but stay at home and look for jobs or play online.

    I feel like i may be one those people whose penny drops later in life probably in their 40's, then finally gets how the world works, but by that time it's just too late, the world has moved on far beyond my expertise, skills and knowledge, whilst in the meantime I have to endure these times of uncertainty of whether or not that world will exist.
