Many people think they’re being the emotionally mature one during a disagreement if they walk away or refuse to talk to someone until they change their behavior. But often, those behaviors can be toxic if it’s done with hostility to show the other person a lesson.
Emotionally mature people don’t always agree with one another, but their disagreements are more civil, considerate, and solution-oriented than emotionally immature disputes. Emotionally immature conflicts often spiral around and go nowhere. They waste a lot of time on who’s right and who’s wrong rather than working on a solution. . Emotionally mature people focus on how they can both do better moving forward?
This may come as a surprise, but being emotionally mature has nothing to do with how wealthy or successful someone is or how many degrees they have. You probably know of someone seemingly intelligent, successful, powerful, and maybe even influential, but they are completely unapproachable and toxic.
