Age is not only a physiological concept, but also a psychological one, they say that wisdom comes with age, but by itself it rarely comes, it comes to those who have survived the events and traumas of their transform life into experience, engage in self-development and work on oneself. If you asked me what kind of person I could call psychologically an adult, I would list several factors: 1. Withstand your negative feelings and states. Even if you have been in therapy for a long time, it will not rid you of negative feelings forever. From time to time you will encounter factors that will throw you off balance. When a person is immature, his own reactions frighten him, he feels defective and incompetent. For example, if you were unable to adequately respond to rudeness. A mature person accepts negative feelings and states within himself and is able to withstand them without running away, without crowding out, without lowering his self-esteem, without comparing himself with others. After all, life is a dynamic process, in There are ups and downs, including your feelings, emotions, states, the main thing is not to dramatize it. The most difficult thing is to withstand yourself, and not others.2. Take responsibility for your life and make decisions. This means understanding that the choice you make determines your future life. Where you are, what you have, is the result of your actions, and not of your leader, parents, or the State. The ability to consciously build your life, through actions can be called maturity. 3. Realize your personal boundaries. When maturity comes to you, the illusion that someone can make you happy will disappear. Your internal problems will move with you from relationship to relationship, and not be cured by them. This awareness will come through negative states that you will not be able to compensate for with something external: people, things, money. Then codependency will go away, you simply will not be able to enter into it because of the feeling of its meaninglessness. You will realize that your boundaries are separate even from the most You cannot hide your mental pain with your loved ones.4. Social adaptation. The ability to be financially independent. An important indicator of maturity is the ability to earn a living. An adult is looking for an opportunity to realize himself in society, due to his adaptive skills and what is valuable for which he will be paid money. An immature person will strive for an adult, at the expense of whom he can survive, looking for reasons that he cannot do this on his own. Once you feel mature, you will be able to rely on yourself without looking for external support, improve your quality of life, be confident, and reduce anxiety. If you want to develop psychological maturity in yourself, you can take professional help from a psychologist. Sincerely, your psychologist Daria Viktorovna Lyapkalo.
