decided...

I have been dealing with a ton of inter personal BS between me and my close friends and its lead to nothing but hurt feelings all around for everyone.

so I have decided...that I am going to remain on the outside world a lot more private about things. If I want to vent I can come on here where I don't know people.

and just keep things to myself, or journal about things.

keeping thing more private = new GOAL

Emotional Maturity is the issue here. How mature acting are you? and them? Being private is a good way to cope and avoid immature behaviour. Lower expectations of others. Be social when you need to.

What is "emotional maturity" anyway? Why is maturity a good thing? I don't understand why there is such a stigma against immaturity. Just be who you are and try to be respectful to others. Why are we in such a big hurry to grow up?

I've found that complaining to people about other people within the same social circle almost always leads to drama. It's also not very nice to talk behind people's back. So not doing that is probably a good idea.

immaturity in matters of your sexuality and personal life I do believe should remain private and my actions as of late have not been respectful to those wishes even when people asked of me to...to respect them.

I am honestly more concerned with my compulsive lying habits...that I am un aware of ...this behavior for me personally has to stop. I can't continue down this road with out hurting me or others.

For you, I will use the word "Wisdom". You can be wise with out having to "grow up". I will call immaturity, adaptive behaviour that is annoying, and inappropriate to the situation at hand.

lol I agree with this assessment I don't think you have to be emotionally mature about everything but for certain things in my life right now I need to improve more so on.
