I have already heard these things below: so many times - 1) You need to think like a matured person. 2) I think you are physically grown up, but you dont have maturity of mind. 3) Her thoughts are matured. I donot get exactly what is maturity of mind means..Is it that you think exactly the way world wants it or world likes it..Or is that you can be seriously considered? Some people say maturity of mind depends on the diversification of your views..SO many things and so many experiences.. Have you been told such things? or what do you think?

People say it because they like to separate body maturity from mind maturity, and they are right, as this hardly comes together (well maybe in some cases it do come together). Maturity of mind is not to be as world want you to be, this is something different. You should always stay yourself, but you become 'mind mature' when you take responsibility for your actions, when you are thinking how your choices will influence your surroundings, people around you, when you're not thingking only about yourself. Well I think there is a lot of things when you want to decide if someone is mature in mind or not, but it's not that you can't be kid inside all the way. That is my opinion and my point of view, I think some will probably not agree with it but that is the way I see it.

Responsibility looks very relevant for me , if one thinks he is responsible for his actions and surrounding then he must be a matured being.Your point of view is agreeable atleast for me.

That's a very good question... really very very good! Maturity is something that has little relation to age. It is more related to one's personality. Generally, a person is considered to be mature if he takes decisions that are logical, sensible, practicable, and more importantly keeping other people in mind. His decision should have negative impact on least number of people. It should be such that he is able to solve his own problems by himself in an appreciable way. Also, he must be able to help others solve their problem too. To put it in simple terms, you can call a person mature if he is able to give suggestions & ideas or take decisions on par with aged people who are well experienced with life.

According to you decision making considering practical,sensible and concern for other people is the characteristics of a matured mind. Point taken. And also he is that person whom we can rush in for any trustworthy and reliable suggestions.

Correction: I said decision should have negative impact on least no. of people. But I meant to say 'It should have least negative impact on least no.of people'

well I am a psychologist, the easiest way of deciding if a person is mature mentally, is that they don't think like a child, they think like an adult. that is very broad and take in every situation in life for example teenagers do reckless things, they will ride cause too fast and risk getting killed or killing other people, a mature person knows that is wrong to do that and will not because it could kill them or kill somebody else. so ever situation and the way we think about life decided if we have maturity of mind.

who can explain whats maturity more than a psychologist like you ?..thats right, people who still think like a child in so many cases lack the maturity that is expected from them as adults.

As far I know, maturity of mind is the way think before acting and we required able to put everything in place. Example of thinking before acting : no planning before work, a lot of chat and lack of coordination with colleagues. To change that's we should change our immaturity in all three of the above towards the better.

Situation is also a factor..People judge you to be a matured minded on how you behave in a situation.

I am 54 and feel maturity means ,you learn to put up with most things without moaning about them.You look at a situation which used to make you cross in your younger days,now just look and say nothing and ignore it.Realise that every one will not agree with you and accept it.Think before you speak and be sure it is worth it if you do.I find myself passing on wisdom ,like,if I see some poor mother struggling with her small child ,I say "don't worry love we have all been there,"I try to comfort the mother.It is difficult to put into words.Some people say you'r immature because you won't agree with them and see their point of view.Having experience of life can make you mature of mind.You learn to understand other people.Understand why they are like they are.Find out why they are like they are,perhaps they have had a bad time.Or perhaps they have been spoilt as a child and have never really grown up.I tend to think if someones rude to me,they must have had a bad day and forgive them in my mind and carry on with my day.
