What in your most honest opinion makes someone emotionally mature?

[Still-alive]

Just list traits or things that would make you think 'that is an emotionally mature person right there. wow!'

Here's some of mine:

1. Withhold judgement especially snappy ones when you don't know the full picture yet

2. Learn your limits (ask questions, don’t speak and argue on subject without knowledge, listen. admit what you don't know instead of pretending you do know)

3. Resist you emotions. Don’t base action off of fleeting feelings. Take a step back and gain introspection, think things through.

4. Take responsibility- own your choices and mistakes. Responsibility teaches you humility and hard thoughtful work

5. Reflect on your emotions, who are you? What can you do? Go back to your roots. Accept this and the person you are. This build trust

6. Understand your place - notice the diversity of the world around you. Compassion and empathy. Consider others perspective. Think out side of yourself

7. Seek out meaningful friendships with similar goals. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Find someone who’s strengths compliment my weaknesses

My two:

1) Follow the rules.

Like I'm part of a Anxiety group, and one guy made a comment pretty much saying, "You're alive and not mentally challenged, you have nothing to be anxious about.

I simply told him what he said wasn't helpful.

Next thing I know he cussed me out, calling me really fucking stupid. Then he proceeds to REALLY give me the hardest blow he can think of. Visits my profile and sees I'm from Germany, since he can't find any pictures of me to bully me about my looks. I don't have any public pictures of me for that very reason.

Even though I don't live in Germany, I'm half German, grew up German in America, and known my Oma and Opa since I was born up until they died.

Even though I definitely wasn't calm and pissed the fuck off... I just kept calm in my responses. I didn't want to get kicked out a good support group. I talked to an Admin and he was removed from the group with hate speech. He was making me uncomfortable for his hatred towards Germans.

2) Be honest.

Unfortunately a lot of people on GAG don't know what that means with the amount of catfishes on here.

People are going to find out the truth anyway, so why lie?

When people didn't let their emotions act for them. So when something happens they don't get mad and flip out. They assess the situation and control it. Same with someone freaking out over the smallest things. Or breaking down and crying at the drop of a hat.

When someone has self control enough to function properly without emotions dictating their every action.

I thought about everything my sister tells me about my emotions while I was reading your post.

I can't think of anything else. I agree with all of your points.
