There is an expression: “smart beyond his years.” This is what they say about people who prove by their own example that maturity is not a bonus that comes with age, but a state of soul and mind.
website has prepared a list of 8 signs that indicate that a person is psychologically older than his peers. Moreover, these rules work for people of very different biological ages. If you recognize yourself in at least half of the points, it means that those around you really have something to learn from you.
With experience, we understand that endless and empty chatter, as a rule, does not bring any benefit either to us or to the people around us. Therefore, psychologically mature people prefer to give the opportunity to speak out to those who really need it. In addition, by listening to others, we can glean a lot of important and interesting information, which will not happen if we always speak for ourselves.
The biggest advantage of growing up is finding harmony with yourself. When this happens, a person stops looking at the opinions of others and the artificial laws of fashion. Therefore, a “psychologically mature” person does not follow fashion all the time. Such people don’t care what clothes, books, films or gadgets are now in great demand. They choose with their hearts.
While a teenager is fixated on himself and his inner world, an adult understands that he is a small link in a huge system of the world and his life directly depends on what is happening around him. Therefore, mature people will never neglect new important information about world events.
But when trying to keep track of important things, we should not forget that the Internet is replete with useless or even unpleasant information that only clogs our minds and brings a lot of negative emotions. Taught by experience, psychologically mature people always know when to disconnect from the information flow. It won’t be difficult for them to spend at least a couple of hours without a gadget in their hands.
If a person cannot enjoy spending time alone, it is time to sound the alarm. After all, this means that he simply does not have enough peace of mind and he does not know how to independently cope with his thoughts and emotions. Mature people enjoy spending time alone because they know that to be alone is to be in the best company.
Over the years, experience comes to us, and experience is the expansion of all boundaries and the loosening of all barriers. This is why “psychologically adult” people do not recognize any stereotypes. From such people you will not hear that a woman cannot play football well, and a man cannot cook deliciously. They choose interests and hobbies for themselves in the same way - without looking at any stereotypes.
Over the years you realize that it is impossible to achieve absolute perfection. Therefore, as people grow up, they stop suffering from so-called perfectionism. A mature person will never torture himself in order to achieve some illusory and unprecedented heights. He knows that sometimes it's damn necessary to give yourself a break, and he does it without any remorse.
But the previous point does not mean at all that “psychologically adult” people should take their own affairs and self-development frivolously and irresponsibly. Vice versa, distinguishing feature An adult is that he knows how to admit his own mistakes and does not blame anyone but himself for his failures. Such people know how to honestly criticize themselves, and this helps them become better every day.

How to become a psychological adult? What to do if a person has not grown up, is of a decent age, but behavior, thinking and life remain at the level of a teenager or small child?
When, since childhood, I felt unwanted, incapable, unloved, superfluous, bad.
What to do? There is only one answer. Grow. It is up to the individual to grow themselves or with the help of specialists.
Not grown up, not mature- one who does not know who he is, does not accept himself, does not understand what he wants, expects help or instructions from others, blames himself and others, looks for the guilty around him for self-justification, is inactive, looks for someone to shift responsibility for failures onto, regresses, and As a result, he degrades and lives in fears and resentments. Fights with mother and father with fear of rejection-absorption. This is a minimal description, but I think it is enough to understand who I am?
(the same goes for relationships with your father)
1 step. A person’s recognition of the fact that he does not live his own life, does not do what he wants, is a puppet, weak-willed, a slave, powerless, empty, does not understand what he wants and why, all the signs of intoxication are on his face. I am in my mother (scenario), I have not yet been born, I am not able to live independently. I'm being controlled, it's not my choice. I'm not here. Feelings and feelings of powerlessness, emptiness, disappointment.
Step 2. Separation from mother. I am small and she is big, I am her child, she is my mother, we are separate. I can't be poisoned anymore, I want to live and grow. Mother has her own destiny, life and choice, I have mine. I have the right to be myself, so I distance myself. Destruction of fake family values, manipulation and blackmail. Feelings, sensations - anger, aggression, rigidity, bitterness, pain, resentment.
Step 3. Moving away from the mother, we begin to see the mother as she is in reality. I understand who she is, I understand why she is like this, what happened to her, but I am not responsible for it. I see myself in reality, I understand and accept myself, I realize that now, on this moment, only I am responsible for myself. I'm starting to grow up. We are equal, we are separated from each other and each is capable of raising himself. Separation and distance as isolation from infection and intoxication again. Feelings, sensations - calmness, acceptance, inspiration, hope, a surge of strength, interest.
Step 4 The process of growth, I learn on my own, I make mistakes myself, I correct myself, I know and accept myself, I like freedom and responsibility, first achievements, merits and experience acquired on my own. It’s as if I’m looking down at my mother and seeing her, accepting her. I am proud of myself, I understand and accept her, her choice or inability to grow herself, change her life. She is just my mother, ordinary, alive and imperfect. I’m sorry that this happened to you and to us... Feelings, sensations - satisfaction, excitement, inspiration, a surge of strength, calm, confidence, warmth, joy and regret.
Step 5. I accept and understand myself as an adult, I accept and understand my mother as an adult. We are equal, we are family, but we are free. I have my own life, my mother has hers, I have my own choice and path, my mother has hers. Each of us has the right to be ourselves. Almost adulthood and maturity. Sensations and feelings - warmth, calm, lightness, confidence.
Resources and energy are spent here no longer sorting out relationships, but directed towards the outside world! And then:
Step 6 completing the work. Understanding yourself, your meaning, path, resources, implementation of plans, responsibility, looking forward, progress, gratitude to the mother for giving birth and raising, giving what she could, warmth and ease in relationships, understanding and acceptance. As a rule, a return to true, family values, a desire to preserve relationships, to warm them, to support them to the best of one’s ability and ability, not to take everything upon oneself, but to soberly assess one’s resources.
If you can’t handle it yourself, come, together we can do it, good luck to you!
Develop your interests. A lack of momentum or developed interests or hobbies can make you seem immature. If you find something that you enjoy and become a “professional” at it, it will make you appear more experienced and mature. It will also give you new things to talk about with other people, whether or not they share your passion.
Set goals for yourself and work to achieve them. Part of maturity is the ability to accept your existing strengths, identifying areas in which you need to become even more proficient and setting goals for the future. Remember the future and allow it to properly illuminate your decisions in life. Once you set clear, achievable, and measurable goals, start working towards achieving them.
Learn to recognize when you can fool around. You don't have to be serious all the time to appear mature. True maturity involves understanding the appropriateness of behavior and knowing when to fool around and when to be serious. It's good if you can be frivolous different levels, to be able to reduce your mood to fool around to different scales.
Respect others. We all need to live in peace with each other. If you do things to deliberately irritate others or don't take other people's feelings into account when doing something, others may view you as immature. Try to be mindful of the needs and desires of those around you, this will help you build a reputation for yourself as a mature and respectable person.
Choose mature friends. Your friends influence your behavior. Make sure you hang out with people who make you better instead of spending your time with people who pull you back.
Don't become a bully or engage in bullying. Aggression often arises from feelings of insecurity or low self-esteem. It can become a way of expressing and asserting one's power over others. Aggression harms those at whom it is directed and also harms those who express it. If you notice aggressive behavior in yourself, talk to someone you trust, such as your parents or school psychologist about how to stop it.
Don't gossip, spread rumors or talk about people behind their back. Gossiping, spreading rumors, and talking behind their backs can hurt others just as much as punching them in the face, if not more. Even if you gossip without malicious intent, it can also cause harm. Mature people show concern for the needs and feelings of others, and do not engage in actions that might hurt.
If someone treats you unkindly, rise above it. If you can, don't answer; your silence will send a signal that what the person said is not normal. If you can't let it slide, just tell the person that their comment was rude. If the person apologizes, accept the apology; if not, just leave.
Be open to new things. Mature people are always open. Don't ignore something or dismiss an opportunity simply because you've never heard of it or never tried it. Instead, look at it as an opportunity to learn something (or someone) new and different.
Be confident in yourself. Don't apologize for any quirks or quirks you have, even if others don't approve of them. As long as your behavior does not contradict social norms and does not harm anyone, you can freely express your individuality. Mature people do not doubt themselves and do not try to appear to be something they are not.
Be yourself. The ability to remain true to oneself is considered an indicator of maturity. You can be confident without any arrogance or pomp. A mature person does not need to tear others to smithereens or pretend to be anything.
Take personal responsibility. Taking responsibility for your words and actions is perhaps the most important part of developing maturity. Remember that everything with you it doesn't just happen. In his own life you are a disseminator of information. Both your words and actions have consequences, both for yourself and for others. Be honest when you make mistakes. Understand that you cannot control others, but you can control your actions.
Control yourself. Anger is strong emotion, but it can be tamed. Don't overreact to small and unimportant things. When you feel on edge, stop and count down 10 seconds to think about your response before speaking. This will prevent you from doing things you will regret and allow you to become more mature in your communication.
Learn assertive communication. When adults want to communicate seriously, they use assertive techniques and behaviors. Assertiveness is not the same as boldness, arrogance or aggression. Individuals with this quality express their feelings and needs clearly, and they listen when others do the same. Arrogant and selfish people do not care about the needs of others and are only focused on getting what they want, when they want it - regardless of the fact that it will make others unhappy. Learn to stand up for yourself without being arrogant or aggressive and you will definitely feel more mature. Here are some ways to communicate in an assertive style:
Stop arguing. For many people in many cultures, mature communication involves avoiding swearing, especially swearing. Using bad language can shock others, or even make them feel like you don't respect them. It can also make others think that you are incompetent or a poor communicator. Instead of swearing, try to expand your vocabulary. As you learn new words, use them to express your thoughts and feelings.
Speak politely without raising your voice. Raising your voice, especially when you're angry, is likely to make others feel uncomfortable. They may even decide not to pay attention to you. Screaming is for babies, not adults.
Watch your body movements. Your gestures can say as much as your words. For example, crossing your arms in front of you may tell others that you are not interested in what they have to say. If you stand slouched during a conversation, this indicates that you are not really “here” or want to be somewhere else. Study your body's signals and make sure it is saying what you want to express.
Talk to people about serious topics. Such topics can be considered school, news, life experience And life lessons that you received. Of course, you can spend some time joking around with your friends. It all depends on your surroundings. You may not want to talk about the same topics with best friend and a math teacher.
Say nice things. If you can't say anything positive, it's better to remain silent. Immature people constantly criticize and point out the shortcomings of other people, and do not hesitate to say things that are offensive in every sense. Sometimes they justify their cruelty by saying that they are “just being honest.” Mature people choose their words carefully and do not offend people in their efforts to be honest, so remember to watch your words and not say things that might hurt others. Treat others the way you would like to be treated.
Learn to sincerely apologize for your mistakes. No matter how conscientious you are, from time to time you say something offensive or unwittingly offend other people. We all do stupid things sometimes, because no one is perfect. Learn to control your pride and say, “I apologize.” A sincere, honest apology for something you said or did will demonstrate your maturity.
Handle both compliments and criticism maturely. If someone compliments you, say “thank you” and nothing more. If someone criticizes you, be polite and say something like, “Okay, I'll definitely think about it.” The criticism may be wrong, but if you take it politely, you will appear mature at the time.
What unites all children and teenagers? They all dream of becoming older. They associate adults with independence, and there is nothing surprising here. For a certain age, this is completely normal, because this is how the formation and development of personality occurs. But what does it mean to be an adult? Some people don't understand this even at 30 or more years old.
Let's figure out why we need to say goodbye to childhood. Why imitate your parents? Why does there come a time when girls try to look older than their years, start dyeing their hair, putting on makeup, dressing like older girls? Boys strive to be like authoritative men, often taking even criminal figures as their ideal. The answer is simple - they all dream of recognition and freedom of action.
Think about it, do you really dream of growing up? Did you know that every adult is doomed to control two personalities within himself: a parent and a small child who wants to do rash things. A truly adult person knows how to curb the inner child in himself, to stop the game when it has not yet had time to harm anyone. In turn, the inner child looks after the parent, preventing him from overly commanding and controlling everything in the world. An adult takes full responsibility for the actions of his second personality.
What will a person who has left childhood never do? He will not lie senselessly, steal, look for those responsible for his mistakes, he will not put on the mask of an elder. The most important thing is that he will not strive to surpass his age.
Being an adult means being able to distinguish good from evil, wisdom from stupidity. This means being able to sacrifice something for the sake of other people. In turn, children are characterized by self-centeredness, rebellion, maximalism, and self-will. An adult knows how to curb himself; if necessary, he will be able to limit and put himself within limits in order to achieve his goal.
Everything has its time! Don't rush to grow up, because you won't get your childhood back later. But if you feel like it's really time for you to grow up, then take some steps:
Now you know the main features of an adult. Well, do you still want to say goodbye to the rainbow-filled days of childhood? The most important thing is that you must understand that there is nowhere to rush, if you are about 14, if you are over 30, then you are a little late, but you can still catch up.
