I can relate to the situation you've described, it's this odd combination of feeling old while being told you're young in life. Its a strange place to be because you know you're a practiced in matters of importance, but given your social status in the culture you live, you have very little clout to work with. Its very difficult situation to be in. This situation is heavily dependent on your culture. Try to study, research, and understand more about the culture that you live in and how it defines life's milestones. It will save you a TON of grief in finding the right milestones to match your internal practiced status. Maybe the culture that surrounds you isnt the right fit? Maybe you'd be happier moving to another culture that values your practice more? One thing that is important is to remember to keep an open mind about life, things will be much easier.
How to help connect the gap for now? If you live in the United States(as I presume you do) your milestones are in large part defined by 2 measurements(not 3), 1. traditional christian values and 2.financial wealth. A huge percentage of American society default to measuring a persons stage of maturity by the milestones set out by traditional christian values. If you have kids, in general the culture will automatically view you as mature by default. If you're single and dont have kids, you can still be considered mature, but more often than not only if you're wealthy. If you don't have kids and aren't wealthy, you shift into a space that is best described as a social limbo. Its kind of a place where the culture perceives that you haven't "made a decision" yet. What is lacking here is a third the measurement, which is knowledge/wisdom. Its not accounted for because it is so often grouped with wealth. This means that if you have one, you automatically have the other. If you have knowledge/wisdom wealth will come automatically. However in a capitalist nation this is not always the case. in fact, it is very common to see wealth and wisdom being mutually exclusive.

Returning to my previous suggestion and my answer to your question, where to go from here is get to a place of a better understanding of the culture that you live in. Do a quick amazon search of textbooks on culture, textbooks on American culture, etc and go to town. Here is one Don't be afraid that these books are 6 years old now, it doesn't really matter the ideas are the same. Let me know if you have any questions and good luck.
