What is "being mature"

[BlackGeneral]

A friend told me I was very mature because I'm "caring and kind".
Weird definition of mature, I though.

So what is your? What makes someone mature to your eyes?

 

[Pandas795]

Paying taxes

 

[yogurtman250]

not acting like me

 

[bigtiddyoneesan]

proper discretion

 

[LYAISASIMP]

Understanding others and not trying to hurt each other.

An adult is just a kid who learned to be responsible.

Someone who's mature exudes qualities that we associate with that.
Where childish people are impulsive, reckless and inconsiderate, mature people are more restraint, careful and considerate.

Then there are also qualities that make people look "fancy" like being confident without showing off and showing intelligence, sophistication and class that are also considered mature.

Either way, don't worry about it. Not being insecure about how mature you are is also part of being more mature.

Maturity is an ascriptive quality so there's nothing fixed but honestly I believe that being able to learn from your mistakes is a good start to mature.

 

[Mangamoz]

The definition of what is "mature" varies from person to person.

Some think economic stability is maturity.

Others think it's being in control of your emotions.

Others think it's being sexually active.(this one is factually wrong)

Maturity is a conscriptive quality so there's nothing fixed but honestly I believe that being able to learn from your mistakes is a good start to mature.

I'm not mad at the AMA itself, I just don't want to get tricked again, asshat.

 

[BakedBanana]

Knowing how to shitpost.

I wanted to write "Ascriptive" but my brain farted midsentence, mb

"Ass-criptive" heh.

 

[gimme_yuri_plz]

Not reading manga or watching anime

some say that being mature means not taking yourself too seriously, and being able to emit normatively 'childish' humor in the proper social environments without actually being self-conscious that it will diminish your actual or perceived character.

the comment you just made, however, does not fall under that category. there is no context in which this remark can or ever will be considered 'mature', and i feel personally offended that it even reached my eyes.
