We’re tempted to think a person is mature simply because of their chronological age. But what if we told you that maturity, as a mental and psychological state, has very little to do with physical age, but more to do with how we learn and adapt? Here are few signs you are maturing (even if you don’t think so!)

Are you truly mature? Watch this to find out:    • 7 Signs Someone is Truly Mature (Wise)

    "Maturity doesn't mean you stop fighting, you just change the things you fight for" - life
  • @JackCry.420
    remember, if you don't have some of these points; it doesn't mean you're not maturing it just means you now have a chance to now as for me, I only have half of them, and all I thought was "wow, I'm growing; that's good"
  • @nhlcbj
    I like to put it this way: everybody gets older but not everyone grows up
  • @fr1edp0tat0
    Out of all 7 of these, i only take responsibility in my mistakes and being good at giving but no so much receiving. I know I'm not mature so I'm trying to get better. Thanks for this video ❤

    I absolutely love the lady's voice in all the videos it's so calming & gentle to be able to listen recieve & understand & her tone of voice is PERFECT it's not patronizing critical or judgemental or harsh ( i hope she knows all this as it's important for people so they can learn) please don't change it!!! Love from Australia 🦘😎👍
  • Growth comes from vulnerability and an environment that holds space and love for that vulnerability. Mothers be praised. And Psych2go for holding space too <3
  • @Tanaka-kun9313
    You know these points if fact resonate with me since back then I used to have a problem with controlling my anger since I was bullied before and at times made fun of.But over the year's I have learnt to stop caring as much as to what people thought about me and just started focusing more on myself and growth as a person.So if anything I have learnt to control my anger even when people try to provoc me.😊
  • 0:22 You discuss ideas. 1:06 As much as you love everyone else, you also love yourself. 1:50 you take responsibility for your stuff. 2:33 You understand that not everything requires your opinion. 3:15 You know how to give and also how to receive. 4:06 You quiet the voice in your head that insists that something is wrong. 5:13 You manage your emotions instead of being controlled by them.
  • This video actually makes me finally realize that others really are trying to keep others from reaching a place of maturity. It also verifies to me many things. Like how there are very few people who will ever become mature. It also lets me see that I am not so much the problem and that this last year I have been moving exponentially fast in the right directions. It also though makes me realize that I can not continue to live around a lot of people that I do because they simply refuse to become mature. I have spent so many years trying to help them grow and it only has harmed me. Because they do not want to grow and they have tried to destroy me through manipulation and backstabing. They do not want friends they want slaves. And because I am not the type of person who allows such things to happen to me it only made them more aggressive in their attempts. Once I started freeing myself they did everything they could to drive me back down into that hole and because I refused they went too far. They were never my friends and I wasted a lot of love on people who never deserved it in the first place. I am not sure if I can escape them yet. Most of them have moved on and abandoned me to die. There is one chance I may be able to move out of my chains. If that falls thru I am going to be forced to become homeless to escape them. But at least I will not be around them anymore and they will not be able to keep destroying my life.

    Currently working on number 9&10. Its incredibly hard, and i wish the best to those going through the same. Never give up!
  • I discuss ideas. I feel like I know a lot about the human mind, so I never tend to jump to conclusions. Instead, I try to figure out what the person was thinking and why. The mind is a very interesting topic for me. I still struggle with loving myself, but I'm subtly getting better at that, but it'll take time, and I'm okay with that. It'll be worth it in the future. I do know who I am now. I know my personality. I used to think I was never wrong. It was always everyone else. But now, I acknowledge my mistakes, and strive to not make them again. I've struggled with thinking extremely highly of myself, being entitled and having a god complex, but I know that I'm not the main character in everyone else's stories. Only my own, and that's fine with me. I have an opinion on everything, but I only show it on things I'm more passionate about, or that relate to me on a personal level. Otherwise, I just scroll and leave it be. But sometimes, I'll admit, I can go off on a rant to either myself or others on a topic I don't know about. And I regret it afterwards. I still have a lot to learn and work on. Nothing time and patience won't hell with. I give and give, no matter how it affects me. It's something I struggle with greatly, often resulting in myself losing resources I need. But receiving? That's hard. My entire life, I've been told I was worthless, would amount to nothing, and didn't deserve anything good. So I struggle with accepting compliments and gifts. This is one of my weakest qualities listed in this video, and I just want to learn how to receive something without feeling like I don't deserve it. Insecurity goes hand in hand with loving myself, for me. It's something I've struggled with since I was little, and I've found it difficult for me to accept everything. But of course, time and patience are my friends right now. I've been getting very good at managing my emotions. I feel it, let it happen, but don't let it control me. Now, I'm human, so of course I slip up at times. But that's why I have such forgiving friends, because they know it was a heat of the moment thing, and that I'm trying. All you can do is try. When you're trying as hard as you can to do something, and people tell you to "try harder", that irks and invalidates me because I can't try harder if I'm already trying my hardest. And my friend get that. I love your videos. Thank you so much for giving everyone access to important aspects in psychology. You guys have helped me through more than I'd want to admit. Keep it up, Psych2Go! You're a true G!
