How do you determine on yourself that you are already a matured person?
Do you think insulting and offending other people will be also consider as matured person?
Because others are projecting themselves that they are so matured but the truth is they have wrong mentalities in life and you will caught them in the act that they really tend to be non sense.

Dang! I am 35years old and im not even sure if i had matured yet! ahahahahh!
Anyway, i think that the criteria for a matured person are the following: open minded and take things constructively; being responsible; being sensitive and cautious of other people's feelings.

Actually I know a lot of people around me that are in 40 plus or even 50 already but then I could really determine that they are not really matured person. There are only few people that are truly matured without pretending something. Unfortunately others are just being hypocrite of projecting themselves as matured person but for real they are just the opposite traits of what you have mentioned.

That's right. A widening responsibility is a sign of maturity. Also, being independent is being responsible to yourself as well.

At least you were able to determine if you think you are matured enough and some other points that you need to improve.

Hi, Met!
I'm afraid I can't agree with strict and dogmatic thinking. What's right for one is not for another. Maturity means, more than anything else, trusting in one's own judgments and values. It definitely does not make anybody "OKAY" to put anyone else down or to decide how others are to think or live. That's just narcissism.

It is really a narcissism when they tend to project themselves that they are matured but suddenly you would notice that they are not really a matured person. They are offending and insulting other people so that it would look good for themselves.

Age and experience tells you that you are already a matured person. Insulting and offending people is a manifestation of immaturity. It's disrespect towards others. It's like you're praising yourself in an insincere manner. You can disagree with a person without being disagreeable. As you grow older and interact with a lot of people, you learn how to respect others and accept the differences between yourself and others. But then, you are the only one who can really tell how you mature during your lifespan.

That is the reason why I don't believe that other people especially that I know if they are matured enough. I mean there is a big difference between intelligence/smart from being matured. Because others thought that as long as they can express something or being articulate with what they are expressing they consider themselves as matured. But definitely NOT! some of them are really rude and just plain arrogant.
