From my experience with emotions, they have not only “maturity”, but also “strength”. Some people’s emotions can sound more powerful than other people’s emotions.
For example, someone who while may express his anger calmly, because of his emotional strength he can “pierce” the anger to the other person allot more easily and in a way which is less noticed until the least powerful person has a breakdown or a degration for instance

I am not understanding your example very well, but I think you may be misunderstanding the definition of emotional maturity.
An emotionally mature person does not cause another to break down. An emotionally mature person handles others' emotions with care, concern and delicacy.
"... behave in an adult manner when dealing with others" means treating others with an adult-like maturity. This does not mean causing breakdowns in others... that is emotional manipulation, power and control over another.
It seems to me, and I may be off, but those you have dealt with in life whom you think are emotionally mature in fact have been arrogant about their maturity level and also use it as a weapon of power over others. That's just the sense I am getting. That is NOT emotional maturity -- that is about emotional abuse.
