Hello, I am writing this thread because I feel like I am immature and would like to ask for some help. I am not exactly sure if I am or if I am not mature but would still like your guys advice on what I should do. The main reason of why I am doing this is because I don't necessarily feel like I act much like I am 15 (which I am). I feel like 12 and I really shouldn't be. I would highly appreciate if you guys are willing to share your advise with me. Thank you. :)
Well, to be honest, I'm younger than you, so I could be completely wrong, however worrying about your maturity isn't always "good" as a teenager. I really do feel as though you should have fun with the last few years of your life that you can sort of act like a child/teenager and get away with it... that being said, I truly believe you shouldn't go too far with that... Although, since you did request a few tips, I guess I'll write a few that I have in mind. - Respond to opinions in a courteous manner without causing an uproar/attacking people (self-control/don't overreact) - Think before you speak (put yourself in other peoples' shoes to see how they'd possibly interpret it) - Don't be arrogant. That's really all I've got lol I personally don't see you as an immature person currently, but whatever floats your boat. :) I'm not so mature myself, so I mean, my tips are likely to be wrong.
Maturity isn't really something you force upon yourself. People who do that either: a) find doing things less interesting because you always have a "mature" mask on all the time b) end up acting like a jerk to everyone because they feel it's "mature" of them to do so. My advice is to not worry too much about it. Maturity comes naturally and in time; everyone grows at a different rate. Not to mention this is a gaming forum! Just act the way that comes naturally to you, because from personal experience, trust me; you'll have a lot more fun that way :)
Try being mature, don't act funny. Be strict with what you're talking about, be polite, be percised with what you're referring to.
http://www.itsjerryandharry.com/threads/is-it-true.36078/ ? Anyway, you can't force yourself to be mature. You should just act the way you are. You can't force yourself to be different. Also, age doesn't define maturity.
Okay, that may not be the best approach. That turns you into a cold, unforgiving automaton. Anyway, I think you are over sweating it. Just because one doesn't speak in all caps, doesn't make jokes, or portrays him/herself as dark and cold and emotionless doesn't mean he/she is mature. That is being sober. Maturity on the forums, at least, is more along the lines of knowing when and where to do something. You recognize the times to be funny and make fart jokes and such, and may even join in them, but you also need to know when to respond politely, and think if it will cause uproar or disagreement. You also need to be able to cope with disagreement and insults without going axe-crazy, and know the reason behind said negative response, to see whether you actually need to change or not. You also need to know you're not lord of everything, and know your weaknesses, so you can accept constructive criticism, and brush off "LOLOLOL U SUXORZ" criticism. Don't expect to be able to read something and suddenly become the perfect example of a hooman being. Just let maturity eventually settle in, at one point it will.
Maturity comes naturally. If you force yourself to be mature then you will get nothing out of it other than not enjoying your childhood. A 15 year old shouldn't worry about being "mature". However, a 15 year old needs to be cautious of their actions. A 15 year old should enjoy being a kid and having fun, not being stressed out. But at that age, you must be careful of what you do. If you are referring to being mature here: don't worry about it. This is a place where none of us are mature all of the time. Sort of like an alternate reality if you know what I mean. I'm a 9 year old. I don't like to be called "the 9 year old of Jerry and Harry" so when I'm here I act "mature". Here, mature would mean to have some common sense. You wouldn't be mature as in a person who worries about work instead of having a fun time. If you are referring to the real world, don't get yourself into stupid situations. You know what I mean when I say that. I hope I helped! -Poppy
I'm not going to say whether you are mature or immature but being too mature isn't always good. It's best you be yourself. Don't try, just freely express yourself. But not too free either. Just know when or in which cases you need to be mature. Also, being yourself doesn't mean you should be completely immature. Just don't take everything as a joke. This is just my suggestion, no hate ;)
My advice, stay young as long as possible. You're only 15, you don't need to behave like an adult. Having a young mind doesn't hurt! (That does not equal do the stupid shit 12y olds do)
Try to be mature, but not full on mature. But don't be thinking that you could be like this: HAHAHA OMFG SO FUNNY LOL! That's just plain annoying to me XD. Be yourself, don't try to be someone your not.
Being mature ruins life, Don't be like @LilaRok {Kidding ;-;} I'm just saying, trying to become mature isn't the best, as you are a teenager you do get your freedom and you do go a little overboard, but keep it moderate, have some sanity, but also be an idiot when you want to be!
