Do you think maturity is based on age?

I'm unsure if I'm the best person to answer this question, but I shall give my best go at it.

I don't believe true maturity is based on age. For instance, I'm the youngest girl (second youngest person) in my entire grade, but a lot of people believe I'm more mature than everyone else in it except for about 3 other people. (My grade has about 107 students.) I have also been at Disney World and have seen what immaturity looks like in adults. I have been in lines waiting to get character autographs, (I was 4) and this group of adult women shove me aside and hop in line in front of me. Instead of letting a child do child things, these women had to be first, showing childish immaturity that I should've been doing at that time. I'm not saying that I'm the only one like this or that I'm the most mature human in the world. I'm not. I know that there are probably a lot of people like me who are the same way.

So no, I do not believe maturity is based on age. I believe it is based partially on how your brain views your environment, partially on the environment your brain was raised in, and partially on when you decide to grow up and act like an adult.

Maybe a part of it, although I do believe maturity can be a personality thing as well, you do seem more mature than your age, what made you that way will probably always remain a mystery.

[Kpop_CrystalKat]

Oh, that's a good point as well. Thank you, lol.

[Asker]

😆💯💯

[alice55]

No, it's shaped by life experience, I was rather sheltered and overprotected so I'm pretty immature and lots of people have said I'm naive

[Asker]

Alice in wonderland irl, wonders around the world naive and full of wonder 😂

[alice55]

That's a good one, I never thought of it XD

[Asker]

Ima call you that from now on 😂

[KostasKouvalis]

Me too

[Asker]

Just know who the founder of the nickname is 😂😎

[alice55]

You can, that would be a fun nickname, suit me good XD

[Asker]

Couldnt be a more perfect fit lol

[alice55]

Yes xD

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Not really, while more time gives more opportunities to reach a well-balanced enough state of mind, I think it's far from being sufficient. Because time talks about branches, what about the roots though? And what about ecosystem, internal and external?

[chefsam]

Na, I don’t think so. For some maybe but I think it’s based on what experiences you’ve been through and seen that’ll force you to act differently than when it’s expected

[Asker]

Yep I agree indeed

[dustybiker2]

Look at the current body in the white house. Exhibit A = no.

I have known some unusually wise children.

[Asker]

Fair enough

[dustybiker2]

Good question

[Kingofkings1992]

Not liking someone politically doesn’t mean they’re immature

[dustybiker2]

@Kingofkings1992 my reply had nothing to do with personal thoughts. His behavior speaks for itself.

[Kingofkings1992]

Right. You’re you’re clearly unbiased and objective

[douride2]

No not even close. I have seen some teens being way more mature then their age. Then I have seen adults that act like babies. You know whining about nothing.

[Asker]

Yep I figured it's random lol

[PeachyPie93]

Not really no.. but with age comes better understanding and knowledge.

[Asker]

Good point indeed peachy the bear 😂

[PeachyPie93]

Hahaha you didn't forget :P

[Asker]

And I won't 😆

[LiamJHayden]

There is some general correlation, but there are many who fall outside the norms.

[Asker]

Indeed so

[Iron_Man]

No not really many older people can be immature

[Asker]

Yep I've ran into some lol

[Iron_Man]

Yes, they are definitely out there

[Asker]

Fosho

[Asker]

You feeling better bro, I heard you were at the hospital

[Iron_Man]

thanks for asking Yes i’m now getting therapy I’m doing better, but I’m in a shit hole big time. Next to Jacksonville Memorial Hospital, downtown Miami.

[Iron_Man]

The reason for getting sick was because of the blood clot moving

[Iron_Man]

I didn’t realize skipping dosage my blood thinner pills would be such a problem. I was trying to save money so I missed 12 hours here and there.

[Asker]

Well I guess doctors know their shit am I right? Sounds like their dosage recommendations are on point, get better bro

[Iron_Man]

it was a huge mistake unbelievable very constantly if I would’ve known this, it would never have happened

[Iron_Man]

Any these stupid people here sometimes they miss dosages. They’re very illiterate. This is like Haiti.

[Iron_Man]

And they hardly do any therapy just in the room

[Asker]

You tried to really wing the dosage, I'ma start listening to those more, is the hospital no good?

[Iron_Man]

Yeah 12 hours here and there trying to save money because I’ve got high bills. I was trying to cut corner somewhere big mistake. I didn’t realize it would be so bad. I wouldn’t have done that.

[Asker]

A good lesson, if you are going to cut corners, with your health isn't the best idea

[Iron_Man]

Big time and never cut corners on that subject

[Asker]

Ill learn from that

[Iron_Man]

Yes please learn from my mistakes. I still have a blood clot from last March. I made a big mistake, underestimating things.

[Asker]

You'll be alright tho, it will just take time, stay strong bro

[Iron_Man]

Thank you very much for your support. It’s greatly appreciated. Keep posting on GAG I look forward to seeing your questions. Yes I’m gonna come back strong very strong.

[Asker]

That's good and I'll try to if I don't decide to take a break at some point 💯

[Iron_Man]

OK, my friend

[AviatorTom]

Not at all. I know some 60 year olds who act like children, and some 10 year olds who put some of us oldsters to shame.

[IslaTheWitch]

no... it's based on experiences and the ability to draw conclusions and learn

[Anonymous]

Not always, I’ve met immature people in their 30’s

[Asker]

Yep same

[Opinion Owner]

Surprises me how many people are immature nowadays

[Asker]

Yep, makes you wonder why they don't find that ability to mature

[Opinion Owner]

Exactly

[Uglygaypoorcoward94]

Based on life experiences and responsibility. So men at 12yrs of age slept with women in their 20-40s which shows they carried something special that these women wanted.

[Staximus]

Definitely not, I've met plenty of old people that were immature as fuck. As a matter of fact I almost beat one up in the parking lot about 30 minutes ago

[4ngelic]

to some extent

[Asker]

Fair enough

[midnightmoon05]

Nope… I’m still very childish 😂

[Asker]

Midnights inner child, it's more the inner child that has control of your body for the most part 😂

[Kingofkings1992]

Partially, yes. There’s different types of maturity and what’s considered mature behavior is subjective. Generally speaking, people who are 40+ are much more experienced and knowledgeable about life than those who are under 25.

[Dongie]

Partly as it takes anyone some time.

[Asker]

Fair point

[jahaims]

Its based on experience

[Anonymous]

No, probably not, it's maybe genetic.

[Miah06]

Nope
