How mature do you think you are?

Question

I don't think that anyone is really completely "mature", but some people are certainly more mature than others. It isn't always related to chronological age, either, because there are certainly some teenagers who are more mature in some ways than some 40-year-olds. How mature do you think you are? In what ways do you think you are mature? In what ways do you think you are immature. By the way, I would also like to know your chronological ages.

Answer 1

It really depends on who ur with...if i am with my parents, i am less mature for some reason...but ppl my own age consider me to be quite more mature than others. Maturity is also interrelated to how serious u are as a person...so yea,...plus u cant be a sole judge of how mature u are really...hehe

Answer 2

I think I am very mature, for fifteen.

I am respectful to my family and understand a great deal that is happening around me.

I think I have matured much faster physically, because I look like I am 21.

My fellow highschool students are moronic and I feel like there is no one I can really bond with, everyone is so childish. Even my eighteen-year old friend from highschool is a bit immature and rude. I am not trying to "grow up too fast", this is just the way I think and perceive things. I look forward to college where hopefully I will find deeper people, as opposed to shallow and childish, to socialize with. I learn new things everday that build my character. Good question, thanks for asking.

Answer 3

This is a good question. I think that people get confused when it comes to maturity -in my opinion. Some people (not all) assume that maturity has arrived once you've purchased your own car, or once you do your own taxes or stuff like that. But i don't agree with these definitions of maturity. Being able to take responsibility for yourself, is a great thing, and it is a part of maturity, but to me - the greatest aspect of maturity is all in how one treats others and themselves. How they resolve conflicts in life, etc. How they treat people who are different than they are (as in not making fun of ppl) So, considering those things, i think i am pretty mature. -23 yrs.

Answer 4

I'm mature because I'm responsible enough to pay my bills when i have the means, i get up everyday for work and make sure I'm on time, i have the discipline to handle my responsibilities with out severe procrastination, and I'm mature because i always try to treat others with respect and try to see myself in some Else's shoes before having an opinion on anything or any one, i guess i lack maturity when i like to have fun with my Friends, sense of humor wise, which is good for every one to have a balance in life, we need maturity to survive in society and be civilized people, and on the same token, it helps to be a little immature so we can live a good social life and be comfortable with ourselves and others and so others can be comfortable with us, there is a time and place for everything, and we need the balance, if we are one extreme or the other, it can cause sever unhappiness and a self destructive life style for oneself.

Answer 5

I dont really consider myself immature but i dont consider myself mature. There are random times where I just have to let it out and go crazy, but other times I just want to be normal and have people not look at me weird when I do go crazy. Sure me and my friends are weird but maybe we just dont have fun talking about guys and how hot they are 24/7 or going on myspace for more than 3 hours a day, but we really are mature, we just choose not to be sometimes.

When I'm immature, its when me and my friends get crazy or I just burst out saying something random to break the silence.

When I'm mature, I can hang out with my 17 and 15 year-old sisters and hold a conversation that its more mature I guess....





I dont know it depends on the day.

Answer 6

I'm 26, male.



This is a tough question because there is no gauge to really measure maturity.



However, just speaking loosely, I think I'm very mature in some ways but extremely immature in others. Over-all, compared to a lot of people I know, I guess I'd consider myself fairly more mature than average. Although certain aspects of my personality would make me appear, on the surface, to be very immature compared to others.



Ways in which I am mature: I am responsible, trustworthy, and considerate in the general sense. I have a very calm demeanor. I have very good reasoning abilities and am capable of seeing multiple viewpoints for every issue. I always get along great and have great conversations with people in their 40's, 50's and 60's- sometimes more so than with people my own age. I have a strong tendency to think about and appreciate and relate things to the big picture of history. I feel way too mature for teenage-oriented musical styles and related trends (like emo and goth, for example) whereas I frequently see people in their late 20's and even in their 30's that are still totally immersed in all that sort of thing and they seem like they still relate to juvenile emo singing. I almost always think about the long-term affects of possible actions.



Ways in which I am immature: I feel very immature inside, like I am still a kid, just in general. I still like to play and imagine things like I did when I was a kid. I don't know or understand a lot of important little things that adults typically know all about, like stuff about insurance and mortgages and stuff like that. I get excited when I pass the toy isle in stores. I guess in general, I look very young in my physical appearance (at 26, I probably look like I'm about 20) so that makes me automatically feel like other people probably view me as immature, which makes me sort of feel immature.



That's all I can think of. I just spent a long time really thinking about my answer to your question. I hope you appreciate it.

Answer 8

I'm the oldest of five kids and I think that has something to do with it, too. I've been mature since I was 16 and got my first job. I'm 50 now and consider myself grown up but not old. Two of my three brothers are only a few years younger than me, but they're about as mature as your average 4 year old.



Even my DAD, who is in his 70s, can be immature -- because he was the YOUNGEST of SEVEN kids and his sisters spoiled him when he was growing up.

Answer 9

The gray hair at 59 advertises maturity. I'm capable and dependable. But, inside, I'd like to be free and easy and just have a good time. I get upset at the cruel things that happen in the world because I don't know how to detach myself from that.

Answer 10

No one mature in all fields. One may be in a specific field the other in a different.

A politician can be a good talker to the public but in his house he may not be able to communicate with the family members.



A Finance wizard can control the economy of the company he works, but he may not be able to control the economy of his house.



Some have undergone certain situation by choice or otherwise, that experience also makes the maturity in u.
