At what level do you reach true emotional maturity ?

I feel like it's when you just take care of yourself and expect nothing from anyone else anymore.

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.
@Miram It definetly is in my case .

@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.

In a way... you don't expect as much as you did... you become more independent, you tend to mind your own business more, you ask for help when you need it, but you accept graciously if someone can't help you.
I think when you and the world around you are in sync. Whether that means fully comfortable alone or you have people around you who you fit perfectly in each other's lives
I think emotional maturity is accepting and caring about your actions and how it affect others.
@Bexsy That's a great one.
@AnnabelleLeigh thank you
@Bexsy You're welcome.

When your partner gets high or drunk-wasted, and instead of being mad at them, you ask for more money.

When you stop caring about petty things, when you have focus, and have mental stability most of the time.

Varies obviously. Me was late 30s before I got close and still working on it.
It's when you see things as they are and are realistic about actual reality

When you can stop long enough to smell the flowers.

I’d definitely say for my case when I graduated college. Life got real real fast
When You think of others before yourself.
