Maturity Level

idont think there's a certain standard for maturity as it depends on the observer's standards of it. what is mature for one wouldnt be the same for another. i guess being mature is being able to handle situations gracefully and being logical when it comes to decision-making, being able to accept faults and humbly learning from others. most of the time, i associate it with patience and understanding combined.

I think much of this depends on the situation, more then the person. Aside from just making sure no one walks away with hurt feelings, or embarrassment, it usually means the person has made the best choice available for all parties involved. Unless the person is keenly insightful, chances are the person will have had to have gone through a similar experience a few times before they know how to make the right decision. So even though maturity isn't an "age" issue, it is usually closely tied to "experiences". So how does an outside observer know if someone is mature enough? This too usually requires observing a pattern of reaction to situations. Based on certain situations that involve the same thought process and reactions, did that person make the best choices for all involved? If the answer is habitually yes or no, then they are likely to make similar decisions in the future.
