1. You Haven't Emotionally Separated From Your Parents
	
	
	
		
		
		
		
	
	
It's  never a bad idea to have a good relationship with your parents,  especially if they always support you. But if you're dependent on them  financially or emotionally when it comes to making decisions in your  life, then that might not be a mature situation. "[You] haven’t really  emotionally separated from [your parents], and you’re doing things the  old dysfunctional way instead of taking charge and running your life  your way, which may also require getting some information about how to  do it," says 
Tina B. Tessina, PhD, in an interview with Bustle over email.
2. You're Emotionally Reactive
	
	
	
		
		
		
		
	
	
Throughout  your life, there are going to be plenty of times when you have to deal  with an unfortunate situation. Yelling and reacting with anger right  away is not an ideal way to handle upsetting scenarios, and is a clear  sign that you need to grow up a little bit. "The mature thing to be is  responsive, where you think first, and then respond. You’ll be less  upset, and less combative if you’re mature," says Tessina.
3. You Don’t Feel In Charge Of Your Own Life
	
	
	
		
		
		
		
	
	
"If  you often feel like you’re faking it, you are very anxious, or you  can’t get yourself to do what you want to do, you [may] lack some  emotional maturity. Mature people are in charge of themselves, know how  to manage their feelings, how to reach their goals, and how to relax and  have fun when appropriate," says Tessina. Sometimes being mature means  you have to make hard decisions, whether that pertains to your  professional or personal life. While it's nearly impossible to always  have your life together, choosing to hang out with your friends over  accomplishing work, or going to the movies instead of saving your cash  can add extra stress in your life in the long-run. Learn how to manage  your feelings so you can make the right choices to reach your goals.
4. You're Financially Dependent On Others
	
	
	
		
		
		
		
	
	
While  there can be plenty of reasons you're not doing well financially, it's  important to find a solution, so you don't have to ask for money from  your loved ones anymore. Asking for money can tarnish your relationships  because you're depending on others to fish you out of your problems.  According to About Money, if you can't return the money you've borrowed,  don't avoid the person or 
take your relationship for granted. It's important to communicate to them about your situation so they're not left in the dark.
5. You Don't Have Self-Control
	
	
	
		
		
		
		
	
	
Some  people may believe they have the right to spend money on the latest  gadget because they had a hard week at work or they cheated on their SO,  because in the moment, that's what they wanted. Having self-control  means you're thinking about the present while acknowledging the future.  The type of actions you choose to make today can affect the events that  will happen down the line.
According to 
Psychology Today, Heidi Grant Halvorson Ph.D., said, "
Decide in advance  what you will think about when a thought about smoking, snacking, or  hitting 'redial' pops into your head." Having self-control is also  important to have when it comes to making tough decisions
6. You Constantly Make Fun & Speak Badly Of Others
	
	
	
		
		
		
		
	
	
According to the Huffington Post, award-winning authors of 
BE THE CHANGE : How Meditation Can Transform You and The World, Ed and Deb Shapiro said, "
We attack others in order to feel good,  or at least belittle someone as a way of making ourselves look better;  finding fault or putting them down makes us feel superior. This tends to  happen more when we are down ourselves, as misery loves company; feel  bad yourself and you invariably find fault in others." While this  behavior is common to happen in elementary or middle school, it's not  appropriate for adulthood. Rather than making fun of other people,  embrace their difference and compliment them instead.

7. You Don't Like To Be Alone
	
	
	
		
		
		
		
	
	
While  there's nothing wrong with wanting to be surrounded by people you love,  you don't want to only hang out with them because you're afraid of  being alone. According to the Huffington Post, relationship expert  Margaret Paul, Ph.D., said, "The truth is that the only time we actually  feel alone 
is when we abandon ourselves.  We may feel lonely when we want to share love with another and there  isn’t anyone there, or the other person is closed to connection. But  being lonely is a fact of life. It can occur within a relationship or  without."
8. You Never Admit You're Wrong
	
	
	
		
		
		
		
	
	
Admitting  that you're wrong doesn't mean that you're weak or worthless, it's  actually a great way to gain more respect amongst your colleagues or  peers. People seem to believe that if they confess they've made a wrong  choice, it will affect their reputation in some way. But that's far from  the truth. According to Elite Daily, admitting that you're wrong is a 
great sign that you're a good leader and have a strong character. It means that you're confident enough to admit your faults, fix your mistakes, and more forward.
9. You Always Blame Others
	
	
	
		
		
		
		
	
	
According to 
Psychology Today, Elliot D. Cohen Ph.D., said, "Clearly, the first of these beliefs is false because in many cases a 
negative situation is not really the fault of anyone,  or anyone in particular. For example, traffic accidents can be 'true  accidents'; people sometimes don’t get along or like each other because  of personality conflicts; sometimes people come in contact with a virus  and catch it to no fault of anyone. People can suffer heart attacks or  get cancer without it being someone else’s false." Constantly blaming  others for your actions is a clear sign that you're not mature. When  things go wrong, don't look for the first person you can point the  finger to so you can save face. For example, "I cheated because my SO  wasn't giving me enough attention," or "I didn't hear about the project  because my coworker didn't tell me," are ways you might blame others for  your actions. It's better to quickly find a solution or admit that  you're wrong. No one will trust your word if you're constantly putting  blame on others.
Being mature doesn't mean you have to be serious  all the time, it's just about knowing what your priorities are and how  you decide to deal with certain situations. If you notice some of these  tips occurring in your life, figure out a way to change things around,  so you can become a mature adult that your mama would be proud of.
