1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Yeah, I think an example would help. To me, maturity is mostly being open-minded, not automatically yelling when one has an argument or disagreement with another person, being able to have open dialogue in conversation, agreeing to disagree if that’s what it comes down to, and being able to take care of yourself in general.
