Would you consider it a form of maturity when you start realizing everyone goes through social problems whether they admit it or not? When I was a lot younger and even in high school, I used to think the problems I had in terms of social situations were just me that experienced them, everyone else appeared to not have any problems. I would ask myself why it's always me that has those problems and no one else, then I started realizing that's not the case especially when I went off to college and even after graduating from college. I've come to realize that everyone has dealt with people ghosting them out and dealing with toxic behavior, they may deny it or may not even realize what's happening but everyone does go through that.
Looking back, I think I was quite immature in my line of thinking when I was in high school and even before then. Realizing that everyone goes through problems actually seemed to help in a way, it made me realize that I'm not the only one who struggles. At some point, everyone gets ghosted, everyone gets treated like crap and gets taken advantage of at some point. I do believe that understanding that it's not always about you and only you can be a sign of maturing especially in the way you deal with it, none of this why me and only me crap and believing that you're the only one who experiences these kinds of issues.
