There are 4 aspects of adulthood: physiological, social, intellectual and emotional.
1) Physiological assumes that the human body physiologically functions at the adult level. Everything is clear here and usually there are no problems with this.
2) Social means that a person knows the rules by which to behave in society, knows how to negotiate, maintain long-term relationships. He can independently provide for his needs: buy groceries, prepare food, wash the dishes, wash and iron his clothes, clean the room, and other self-service skills. This also includes financial independence, that is, a person can earn for his needs.
3) Intellectual assumes that we can read, write, count, that is, at least the minimum level of education for society, world views, we can argue our position, etc.
Usually we stop at this, considering that if the previous 3 aspects are present, then everything is fine. However, we forget about another important aspect of maturity, which is also very important. Pay attention to it when raising children and check with yourself.
4) This emotional maturity.
The ability to understand, express and manage your emotions and feelings, the ability to talk about your emotional needs, independently restore your emotional state in healthy ways, take responsibility for your feelings, see and accept reality, understand your role in events.
An emotionally immature person runs away from his feelings, hangs in the past or fantasizes about a wonderful future, is inclined to blame others for his failures, behaves as if the world revolves around him, and those around him only do that they constantly discuss him. He compares himself to others and is painfully competitive, intolerant of criticism, but dependent on praise and approval.
An emotionally mature person knows that crying is just as important as laughing, and accepts himself in any state. He allows himself to make mistakes, because mistakes are an opportunity and a condition for growth, he can forgive himself and others, he does not expect too much from others, does not idealize them, does not depend painfully on other people's opinions, is not afraid to show his weakness. The degree of emotional maturity is indicated by the reaction to failure. A person can make responsible choices in difficult life situations, is able to cope with difficulties, trust.
