[Hathore]

so your defination of being mature is watching a movie adn going out?

[Akiha]

How can you become more mature?
-Think rationally, not emotionally. Try set goals, be organized, etc.

Are there steps to take to get mentally mature and emotional?
-Not really, it just comes with age, IMO.

What do you think maturity is?
-Being able to handle yourself and happenings with rational logic, and to know what decisions are best for yourself.

[_Ink]

The idea of mature is learning how to become yourself.
and going out plus watching a really deep movie should help you get an initial image.
I know it help me.
still... B&

[Hathore]

ok i get it now and wat you mean more

[MelissaJ]

i agree with Ristuka on this conversation. some people have and don't have the assets to become mature when its is most profitable, how ever learning to live life all part of it. but what i think maturity is... is that piece of a person that is able to hold themself in the most admirable situation, maturity comes in all different forms of a person.

[Donut]

B& indeed.

Drink bitter drinks until you've matured. I guarantee it'll work.

[Guy]

Mature? Act more rational. Try and be more civilized and knowledgable. That's all I can say, and frankly, there might be several ways how one might classify someone as being mature.

[peppertrapped]

Maturity, IMO, comes with experience... How you handle problems that come along the way, how you view your situation in life, it's sort of an exercise in becoming more mature...

But then again, only if you act rationally, weigh consequences and act responsibly will you only be able to mature

[Artemis]

What Pep said.

I believe that it's when your physiological state of mind comes to a point where it's reasoning, learning and social skills reach a point that it no longer possesses traits of a child.

Which is why once your state of mind reaches maturity, you start to think, act and behave differently to situations and events that face you.

The state of maturity doesn't really matter how old you are. You can still act in a child-like behavior despite the fact that you're over 30 years old.

Where as, others as young as 12 can have skills and traits that prove their maturity levels.

[sweeter]

Maturity is realizing and learning to accept that:

Vast segments of the human population, possibly even a majority, don't give a flying bugfuck what I do or what happens to me. Highly alarming revelation, this, as I've always assumed I occupied the very center of the cosmos, and the very structure and integrity of the space-time continuum hinged on my well-being. Should anything untoward befall me, I was sure the universe would collapse and all God's Creation would cease to be. But as I grow older and less full of myself, I'm finding what an inconsequential gnatfart I am in the Great Scheme of Things. I could die tomorrow and humanity will go chugging along its merry way.

(:

[peppertrapped]

^that is a stunning realization... but i feel that maturity doesn't entail just realization and acceptance... I think those are the first steps towards maturity, but to be able show maturity, there should also be some action required like taking responsibility, or trying to figure out what to do next in your life despite the fact that nobody else in the world will carry your burdens but yourself...

[Riw]

I thought I was mature at the age of thirteen.

I read my diary the other day. Laughable, the way I was trying to be all rational and analyzing and oh, so clever.

I believe maturity is the ability to handle yourself in this complex world, to be able to face setbacks and form meaningful relationships.

Also, I too believe that the realization of one's own insignificance - no matter the grades, the looks, the praise - is part of it. That, and million other things.

Maturity comes with living and experiencing things.

Of course, one can also try to achieve it by pretending to be all grown-up already, but acting mature and being mature, I'd say, aren't synonymous.

[_Ink]

maturity is also about being able to hold yourself together.
You know all those times when you get bullied and you feel like fighting back? take the back route, go to the police, the principal, the dudes in charge and don't please don't bring yourself a lawsuit.

It is also about self restraint, when you feel like spending needlessly on manga and anime, think twice, think about how hard money comes by, and how it can be used to help others rather than satisfy your impulsive demand.

[DatLatina!]

Well im not old enough to decide on what maturity means but i know it means like making the right chocies and doing the right things 4 ur life...........Im not old enough 2 kno this but Im oretty sure it means that idk y =but i think so

[Cheryl]

Answering the questions in order...

How can you become more mature?
Is there really any standard answer to this question? Get out there, go through more of life...it's through experiences that you learn and mature, really.

Are there steps you take to get mentally mature and emotional?
Lol no. Actually I don't understand the question. XD I think this sort of thing just happens on its own.

What do you think maturity is?
Being able to think clearly and rationally and handle things appropriately. Simply put, it's the opposite of childishness...lol.

Knowledge is when you learn that white is white and that black is black.

Now years down the line you will come to realize that the world is not just black and white. There are grays in between.

What grays you chose is a reflection of your maturity.

[Midare]

How can you become more mature?

Personally, I believe that one never reach a full maturity, it doesn't matter how many years they live or how many situations they go trough, is a precces that last forever.
The other day in fact, I was discussing this with a friend of mine. He said that I just cannot keep going in the way I'm doing, that I need to "grow up". I'm 24 years-old, I don't think that I'm mature, but his argument was that I should change some things in order to become a "mature adult". Basically he said: "Change the way you dress, I mean, I'm ok with that, but an adult won't dress like that", and keep going about how I spend my free time doing "pointless things" such as gfx and watching anime.... My single answer was: "I don't mind if others take me as a mature adult or not, I just care about the way I think even when I myself know that I'm not mature, but that's enough to me to have I life that let me do the things that satisfy me"

Are there steps to take to get mentally mature and emotional?

Nothing else but living I guess. Beyond that, there's a lot of thing that most people thinks that is needed for get mature

first... a protip. don't double post
second... be more mature, get a job
if you arent of a legal age, go out there and do it.
also: watch films like "schindler's list"

I think this one is a good example of that (btw.... even when I think myself as childish sometimes, I love that movie :p)


What do you think maturity is?

A single word: Focus

[nx6]

I would say becoming more mature means accepting responsibility for what you do to yourself and others. Thinking ahead more before jumping headfirst into something new. Not treating everything as a fleeting moment in time.

Oh, and you know you're mature if store clerks stop calling you "son" or "kid" and start calling you "sir" (I hate that :D). And when young people start thinking of you as too old to hang around with.

[relph]

hey i think matureness is being selfsafitiont and responsilble and accepting of ur self or maybe just growing up and living ur life to the fullest exstent


um yes i know i cant spell

[momo-taichou]

I agree with my sissy relph:glomp I think being mature is being responsible, Dealing with situations in an adult manner and making good choices

[Neko Kyo]

I think being mature is measured by how you react in an intense situation. If you can keep your head or not. or if someone needs help. what your reaction is.

[relph]

yeah thats exactly wat i said and i still think that
