I think another sign of emotional immaturity is someone who seeks to escalate a situation versus dissipate and solve it. Someone who seeks to "win" versus grow. I dunno, this is just my definition.

That’s another problem I have with the emotional maturity concept - there’s NO objective guidelines, but only the subjective views of each of us.

According to the article, emotions consist of happiness, sadness, fear, disgust, anger, surprise, anticipation and trust
Emotions can be both expressed and explained. And they can also be controlled
I’ll try to give a more objective and overall definition of emotional maturity - “A full understanding and fulfillment of the field of emotions”.
Let me try - I can say I am happy about taking my decisions in life, sad when I am not getting what I want, particularly a romantic relationship. I am disappointed I can’t fix a relationship although I really want to
I am disgusted by people who are critical of others yet do not go by their criticisms
I am happy whenever I get a reply here, am sad when I don’t get replies in my threads
Well, I am not really emotionally mature regarding the sensation of emotions. However I pride myself on my intellectual levels and I hope people will learn to look BEYOND emotions to find and fulfill our potentials
