For many parents, children will remain stupid for a long time, who need to be patronized, protected and protected. And matured children at this time dream of making it clear to parents that they have become adults.
Signs of an adult
One of the most important signs of a mature personality is authenticity, or identity. Authenticity is expressed in full awareness of the present moment, independent choice of a way of life and acceptance of one's own responsibility for this choice. An adult person always remains himself in both reactions and behavior, and also allows himself not to waste energy on creating a beautiful, but false facade of his life.
A mature personality may not allow itself to be a reflection of others' hopes, but act, guided by its internal position. An adult knows who he is and what he wants to become in the future.
An adult is tolerant of the whole gamut of his and other people's feelings. He does not drive away negative emotions from himself, he lives them, thereby gaining control over his behavior. Such a person is able to evaluate himself and other people without sticking labels.
Another sign of an adult is tolerance, i.e. ability to put up with uncertainty. Developed intuition, adequacy of feelings, ability to justified risk help him in this.
Refusal of perfectionism and the ability to set realistic goals also distinguish an adult from a psychologically immature one. The child is not able to recognize and acknowledge the limitations of his abilities, he lives with illusions, and in case of failure, instead of learning life lessons, blames other people.
