do you consider yourself matured or others say it - that you are matured?

In my life, I never experienced to get what I want without passing through the hardship of life. That I need to pass thru the hardship and battle of life before I reach my dream. So maybe this is the reason why some people always ask me how old am I because I always speak like a very much matured individual. How about you, do you consider yourself a mature individual or others say it for you?

Nobody says I am a matured individual, but in my opinion I am matured the way I carry myself under different circumstances like problems, challenges and pain. I tackled all these things and I won myself against a lot of pressures in my job and in my environment. I solved smoothly the life's astonishing elements with tears and joy... I carried out burdens and still standing despite of my weakness, now, these things are important factors that measure one's maturity. You will not gain experience if you will not learn. By maturity man becomes strong... I can say then that I am strong perhaps I survived myself in all angles of life's difficulty.

People have always told me how mature I was even from a teenager. I have always felt older than I am, and I have always acted older. My friends used to go out a lot like most teenagers did, but for me, I was far more happy being home chilling out. I am 30 now, and still have the odd few people say I should get my pipe and slippers because I am more mature than I should be for my age.

I would consider myself mature, mostly because my friends and family always say it. I feel like I make very smart decisions and I strive to do the right thing.
