Just wondering... Do you feel you react differently to things than you would have some years ago? Do you consider yourself mature, or still have some "growing up" to do?

I've matured hugely over the past year, but I'm still a mischeivous, fragile lil boy at heart.angel

I suppose I've learned how to reason with greater ballance and cohesion, and to accept who I am and embrace my idiosyncrasies.cheering

But as they say; Life is a journey, not a destination. I'll never stop growing up I suppose.wine

I think I'm made up of three parts,the kid,the teenager,and the adult in me,and my goal is to keep the kid and teenager quiet, and to be a more responsible,mature adult......HOPEFULLY.

Although,it's been a while I HAVEN'T given someone a good old fashioned wedgie.

I don't even like the word matured. It conjurs up thoughts of the way you dress, the way you speak, how much money you make, how you react, etc. With the exceptions of the last mentioned-metiontioned idea--how you react, it means nothing to me.

However, I do tend to jujge people's "maturity" on how they react. But I won't judge a person on the way they act unless they consistently act in an "immature" way, that is, by how they take what you say, and react in a way that shows you they don't react in what would be considered a natural way.

Zellarrone1: Yeah, I consider myself as mature as an ancient relic
Oh yes, forget to list the signs... I know I'm a relic because I can't keep up with my younger workmates on the boozing and partying scene. My days of 12 hours of non stop dancing are over due to my bones complaing after the first 2 hours help rolling on the floor laughing

I have to dye my hair more often than when I was less mature than what I am now too laugh

thumbs up

accepting who you are and embracing ur idiosyncrasies is a large part of it I reckon.. and comes with time..

I am still a work in progress... but I like who I am...I can be SUCH a kid at heart though also.. and to be honest.. I don't want to lose that... I don't want to get cynical... prefer havin my head up in the clouds sometimes.. far nicer view grin

peace

hug

When you move out of mommy & daddy's house and start taking care of yourself - that's a pretty good start...

Personally, from this side of the fence.....I do feel like I react differently to things than I did years ago. Believe it or don't, I'm much more even tempered. I don't flare up in anger like I did in the past.

Of course, I don't think many people will argue if I were to admit that I still have some "growing up" to do. Yet at the same time, I think some aspects of "maturity" are over rated. In some ways, it is better to be childlike.

being mature, or "maturing" is not about being an all serious, no fun git. Its about being able to distinguish when you need to be serious and when you can let the kid out play. I let the kid out play quite often... grin

My tolerance of stupid people has gotten lower and lower as I get older. I am not talking about people with true mental handicaps, but rather people who just don't get that the world doesn't revolve around them, people who don't know when it's time to be serious, people who have no common sense, and/or people who can't make a decision.

It's just me...dunno
