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 I find it really difficult to expect anything from other people anymore.
I agree with you on your other points.

@SpiritSkye I think you mainly mean you find it difficult to rely on others/depend and trust.

It can be a trauma response.
@Miram It definetly is in my case .

@SpiritSkye 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. :)
