How do you define maturity?

SW-User
Maturity is not acting like a spoiled child when things dont go your way. I know someone in her 40's who still pouts and shoots out venom when she doesn't get her way. Its embarrassingly pathetic.
@SW-User I work with someone exactly like that, 42 years old.🙄

@SW-User You say that like pouting and shooting venom is a [b][i]bad[/i][/b] thing!

Just kidding...totally agree with you

When you can take any given moment or situation approach it with your knowledge and experience (or seek the help of others with that) as well as remain calm, have patience, and use common sense....while implementing consideration, respect, and compassion, as well as maintain a sense of responsibility and even accountability. The ability to observe and listen, and not just see and hear...when you can do/use that in your daily life, with other people and more importantly with yourself...that's when you gain insight, understanding, and wisdom and THAT is maturity.

@revenant That is why nobody ever completely matures, humans are imperfect and incapable of it....it's lifelong learning process. We can strive for it and grow in it, but in order to reach it we'd have to be gods.

taking responsibility for one's actions

I'm still not 100% sure but in my case, I think it's when I started handling my emotions/feelings without having a meltdown or temper tantrum each time. Learning to choose my "battles" has brought me a long way.

You can eat it without a) an upset stomach or b) going to prison

When you're able to ignore the shits that hurt you and just go on.

@SW-User How can you ignore something so stinky 💩

@Rokasu gas mask, usually. I need to protect my delicate sense of smell

The moment someone mentioned New York City and I didn't feel the need to say "I've been there, you know!"
