3 min readApr 6, 2024
Emotional maturity is a sign of strength and self-awareness. But how can you tell if someone is genuinely mature, or simply faking it? This article explores ten revealing signs that can help you see through the facade and identify true emotional maturity.
1. Being flexible
- When things don't go according to the plan, an emotionally mature person is able to think things out and come up with a viable plan B or even C, and still move forward not letting the bump in the road ruin the entire goal.
2. Taking responsibility
- An emotionally mature person is able to own up to their own mistakes and not look to blame others.
- This takes a level of self-honesty and acceptance.
3. Thinking before responding
- Mature people think before speaking and they're great listeners.
- They don't let their temper take over during the argument.
- They would win the relationship rather than win the argument.
4. Being open-minded
- Mature people are more open-minded people, they accept different people and things that are different from what they are. They are open to try new things that they did not understand before.
