Not so sure about that.
Expectations are bound to happen every now and then. It is our nature to be inconsistent in how we approach the world, because we are inconsistent beings.
I would say people are emotionally mature when they learn to manage their feelings in accordance of what is best for them and other people; they start letting go of what harms them and others, have good sense of personal accountability, and better understanding of the necessary circumstances which require sacrifice..etc.

@AnnabelleLeigh Then I know what you're talking about.
I am getting blamed and told it is a control thing that I am not emotionally open.
It is not. It is damage control, not the desire to control other people.

@Miram I need to control my own environment and safety bc I never had that . So I get that. I don't really care about controlling others unless they are in my space or effecting me . But that's rare too. :)
That's a big part of it. There's a lot within that and many ways to get there. But I agree, once you realize you don't have to deal with other people's shit and take better care of your own, you're on your way.
