This is just because of the what people are expecting from an "adult".

What is adulting properly? Why is crazy to have a different way of life?

Nothing about other people expectations, but not having to worry about where you're going next, or how to get mail or do things that take longer than a couple of days, etc
Yes. The point is that you worry and that you perceive that as a burden. Heck, a lot of people may see it as a burden. But there are people that find that liberating.
Being a digital nomad probably isn’t for you then. I have been doing it for 6 years as a normal W2 software engineer and I love it. I stay in a place for 3-6 months and go on adventures every weekend. Everything I own fits in 2 bags and I get my mail through a remailer but honestly it is truly rare that I need the physical mail.

It works for me but there is no “one true way” to live a life. You do you and find your happiness.
