8 Ways to Become More Emotionally Mature 

Hi everyone who's watching this video! We hear you and noticed a lot of people aren't happy with one of the examples used in this video. I've passed down this important feedback back to the writer who wrote this script. Thank you for sharing you concern! Other than that, script is overall well written with great advice on 8 Different Ways to Become More Emotionally Mature.

“It’s not about managing your emotions, it’s about managing your reaction to your emotions.” ✨

If you’re smiling at me it’s the power of positivity

"All feelings are valid but you don't have to act on it." Best thing I've heard.

1. Identity your emotions, When you feel strongly about something and start to act impulsively, take a step back and think about why you feel this way. Make a tally in a journal each time you feel each emotion and jot down the reason why. 2. Take responsibility and apologize whenever your impulses do take you too far 3. Find role model and put them in your situations: ask yourself what they would do 4. Practice cognitive reconstructering by keeping a thought diary. Write down your anxieties and try to think of alternative ways to think about your situation and whether it is worth worrying about 5. There is something about you or your situation that you don't like: if you can change it, work towards change if you can't, embrace and accept it 6. Learn to have patience 7. Live in the present

Everyone who’s watching this is willing to grow and that’s pretty admirable - takes a lot of courage. Just wanted to put it out there

I think just simply recognizing that you may not be as emotionally mature as you thought, and accepting that you may want to work on that, is a huge step and a sign of maturity as well

Being aware, (We argued) Holding yourself accountable, (I hurt them) Recognising you were wrong, (I was wrong) Learning from your mistakes and (I will do better) Not repeating your mistakes when in the same situation (It won't happen again) shows that you are emotionally mature.

Emotional maturity begins with little kinds of stuff like giving kinder words, admitting little wrongs, learning to say sorry, and please.

What do you think about this animation?

If you get overly angry at small things, 9/10 your boundaries were infringed upon as a child/teen and you didn’t or couldn’t defend yourself and you felt completely powerless and vowed to never let that happen again.

"Your feelings are valid, but you don't have to act on them" - I have such a hard time letting that resonate but it's SO true and many rash decisions I've made out of feeling, not logic, and regretted it. Thank you for sharing!

Maturity is a process, the willingness to mature or grow up is sown as a seed. It is nurtured with the waters of knowledge and acceptance of your current self ✊🏾❤️

Maturity is when you realise self respect is more important than love

This video helped me greatly. I’m working on unlearning the emotionally immature habits I was raised with so that I may be a better version OF myself FOR myself. My emotional immaturity bleeds onto other parts of my life and that’s not okay. Keep up the great videos 👍🏽

I used to be very angry and unhappy with life and very emotionally unstable 😅 but I realized that there's no use in being mad all the time,that I can fix it and I can learn how to control my emotions in a more mature way, thank you for this video💕💕 and if anyone who sees this that Is struggling with emotions or feeling immaturely , I just want you to know that you are in control of your emotions so don't let anyone control you and how you feel, this is YOUR life not THEIRS💕💕🙏🏽🙏🏽

She: write down the questions that come in your mind Overthinkers: Uhh, I don't think I'll have enough pages for that-

The most frustrating thing, is when you're in an argument with your partner, and you're trying to pause and gather your thoughts ( to avoid be hurtful ) but they just don't let up and keep throwing emotional jabs. Keeping up your guard in that moment is so key

Everyone here has courage in their heart. It is not easy to be brave enough to admit that you still need to mature and grow. We are all here because we want to be the best versions of ourselves! ❤️

This is not only a way to become emotionally mature but you can use this same method to avoid anxiety and depression. Great video!

“ When I became a man, I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be grown up” -C.S Lewis

I literally just finished crying alone and this came up in my recommended

i’ve been going through a lot lately especially with my emotions this video actually helps it sucks on how i’m accepting that fact things are horrible rn but accepting it seems better then reacting in a negative way. Thanks for the video appreciate it

i love how calming and relaxing it is to hear her voice.

Always looking to improve myself ☺️

this is what being mature actually means.. immature doesn't mean being a child at heart.. you can be a child at heart and be mature too

if youve been getting up and out to try to get your responsibilities and work done despite struggling mentally, you are a strong human being for still hanging on and not giving up. you watching this video just proves how much you are still willing to grow and improve yourself so whoever you are out there, i hope you get the life you have always wanted and deserved while being the best version of yourself

Thank you! This helped me so much. I’ve always been a very argumentative person and would get in a lot of arguments. When I did get in these arguments I would have to suffer the consequences, I never understood why I had to suffer the consequences when the others were arguing as well and I would always end up message one of the mods arguing with them in dms and never recognized that I’m the one in the wrong. I realized how much I was being so negative one day when one of those mods told me “I’m sorry but you’re a very negative person” I didn’t understand at first but I thought about it, read through all the messages and realized that all I’ve been doing was trying to defend myself and my opinions but never thought about the way others felt. sometimes ik its hard to realize something when someone says thing that you dont like to your face but its good to realize that its true and you need to fix those problems. this was super good and helpful, im very immature sometimes and am trying my best to mature

"Your feelings are valid but you don't need to act on them"

“Find a role model” Me: *sees channel name* Me: I all ready found mine

I've realized that maturity is accepting reality without complaining, but not only that, it's also a powerful tool called understanding, we understand situations and past events better than in the past, and it's also forgiving others (our parents, our friends, our enemies, etc...) When we are children, we have dreams, fantasies and what ifs for the world we have a vision for an ideal world and we find it hard to accept other people's realities, we are naive and innocent, but then everything bad happens and we just can't understand the reason, and we think wrongly and have a cognitive distortion But i've learned that emotional maturity is like a brush that cleans our eyes and our vision, giving us a better understanding, of course, you don't have to abandon your ideals, values and feelings, but you have to rethink your actions, reflect on them, and realize the truth, and by accepting the truth, we can become better versions of ourselves, but remember that life isn't perfect and no one is, and soon enough, we will live in a better world, a world without pain, horror, murder and wars, it'll be over soon

You know, you are like a safe space and the person who guides, comforts and encourages me.. I feel so touched and consoled when I hear your voice... Thank you so much

When we think of someone who's emotionally mature, we typically picture a person who has a good understanding of who they are. ... In other words, emotional maturity is when someone can manage their emotions no matter their circumstances. They know how to respond to tough situations and still keep their cool.

This eppisode is so wholesome, thank you for putting this video together 😍

This is one of THE BEST videos of the channel!!! I left some tears fall with the words from Mother Theresa. Congrats!!!

Emotional maturity begins with little kinds of stuff like giving kinder words, admitting little wrongs, learning to say sorry, and please. They go a long way to help the situation.

If you managed to get out of bed and out of the house in this world that we live in I'm proud of you. And if you went to work while dealing with mental health and a host of health issues you're even greater to me. I'm proud of you. Even if you weren't on time I'm just so happy you showed up and completed the assignment. If you did all this using public transportation, walking, biking, out in the heat all while gushing and loosing blood and energy and nasueated because of your monthly cycle, like I did yesterday, you truly deserve to be rewarded because that is not easy at all. If you still seek work opportunities in a world that is trying to become part of the problems instead of preventing the problems and fixing the ones unable to be prevented or controlled, my hat goes out to you and a bow of respect. You deserve to be here because you make this world a better place. Keep keeping on no matter how hard it is, we know this world just wants you to give up, but we rather you be here each day doing the best you can, and don't rush, take your time so that accidents don't happen while you are trying to be your best self despite your challenges. I'm proud of you!!!

I really enjoy this channel. It helps me quickly identify areas I need to improve and gives organized “note friendly” tips on how to take action! I also love the animations! Keep it up 😄

Thanks again for posting these❤️ I need to journal more. Accepting myself how I look is really difficult with depression and low self-esteem

"Hands are difficult to draw" Me as an artist: True

it's when you don't seek approvals, attentions or validations from people, especially from the internet. You allow yourself time and space to be better than you yesterday at your own pace.

Thank you guys for these videos they are honestly helping me in growing through another stage in my life while putting things in perspective of being fine with myself and not what others want.

Love this video. I am very emotionally mature already but getting a list of ways to be more emotionally mature is wonderful and inspiring more ideas/ways to inspire others to do the same! Thank you!😍

It's very important to process emotions. Did you know that crying and laughing both have the same effect? They both make you feel relieved and restful afterwards. It's alright to cry, but it's important to make your peace afterwards and move on.

I love how the auto generated subtitles say “welcome back psyched goers” *I am deeply psyched for another psych2go video*

I still struggle with why are we not allowed to act on our feelings! Is not fair that people just hurt us and get away to go on and hurt someone else. Holding people accountable not only feels good for petty revenge but also is my form of contribution to a better world. Maybe if the people who hurt me had gotten hurt enough by others in the past they wouldn’t have hurt me in the first place because they would have known better.

Thank you for doing these kinds of content. You have no idea how your videos can shed light to someone.

"if you want to love others..you should love yourself first" -RM

School should show these videos at school once in a while, I would've appreciate it watching these videos while I was in school to add some self reflection, discovery, and mindfulness

This is really a learning lesson I really need. I think my struggle is No.6 Embrace Reality and No. 8 living in the present. The thing I struggle the most in all of this is what does make me genuinely happy. Eversince my first heartbreak relationship back from 2014 to 2015 of January, I was suuuuuuuuuper down and I wanted to cry a lone in my room. For the past 2015 till the coming years, I tried to understand why my EX left me and what was his reasons for doing so. Although, I tried to find ways to distract me like watching my fave animes over and over again, or even doing youtube content too for mostly gaming, it took me many years to try to live in the present time. But at the end of the day when 2020 when the pandemic happened, it felt like my time stops and I always feel stuck in the rutt that I cannot move forward. It is hard for me to live in the present and it just made me recall my past experience that has been holding me back. It is like I am punishing myself to make me happy. I enjoyed others seeing them making them happy more than my own happiness. "Peace begins with a smile" How I wish I can do that. But my family always portrays me as a very sad person for all my life. I only smile only in short bursts when it something that makes me happy, but in the end I cannot. And living in the present is also hard because I am holding myself back that I do not deserve to smile or be happy.

As a Highly Sensitive Person, I need to hear this... it'll just be a bit more difficult for me personally

P2G: Think to yourself “what would mother teresa do?” Buzzfeed, literally 6 days ago: “The Dark Side of Mother Teresa”

Backstory on mother Theresa would make you quickly lose her as a role model

This is so helpful… I have learned so much, thank you. I will try to think positively about myself, accept that I can feel angry and upset (I will take to heart that how we react to something is what we should control, not suppressing out emotions). I will try to be truly open minded - That our intent as we listen, not the act of listening itself is important. I will try keeping a diary for my feeling, and…. SMILE!!😊

ok I was feeling quite emotional before this because of some circumstances, but embracing my negativity and LIVING in the present made me think and calm down quite a bit, Thank you very much!

I would say I’m pretty emotionally mature.

''learn to be open minded'' ''live in the present'' *mission failed, we'll get them next time*

I feel I already am doing all of these, not perfectly, but I am. The only one I struggle with recently is the last one about focusing on the present rather than the past and future. I focus too much on the past and future and how it impacts my life rather than on what I'm doing currently in my life. I'm trying to change that though and focus on my life currently and what decisions I need to make that are best for me. I'm not saying I'm perfect, I still have moments or days when I lose it and don't have a calm collected control over my emotions. It takes practice, but with it you learn to be a better person.

Listening to this is comforting. Emotional struggle and validation really hits hard.

“You can only make choices for the future” Powerful. I like this 👍🏻

You will never really understand a person until you consider things from thier point of view. 💛

Happy to say ive been practicing these techniques and they have quite literally saved my relationship, as well as giving me some solid techniques to learn about myself. The value of this cannot be overstated.😊

When I tell you that when I first started writing a thought diary a second ago, I felt a TON of feelings off my chest. I confronted myself maturely, I stopped my ego from getting too big, and I taught myself new things. This helped so much that I might as well cry from joy. Thank you.

I would share it to someone emotionally immature but they might take it as an insult.

The animations are lovely & I appreciate this channel so much. You all really care about people & growth

Your voice is so soothing- thanks for the video, it really rejuvenated me when I really needed it

i constantly find myself nowadays dwelling in the past and alwasy thinkking about the future becasue of something bad that recently happened to me. it cause me to become lost and confused for a few months now. Its also kinda affecting how my husband as well. the short video was really helpful simple steps i can follow to change mysefl and the way i think. the video was right. live in the present and make conscious decisions we are less likely to act negatively. thanks for your video.

The tricky thing with this is that, some people have the advice and are good at giving it to others, but struggle with acting on it themselves. I realize myself that I'm not even that emotionally mature, I'm working on it, but (not accussing it) my adhd, period hormones, anxiety, and depression makes it much harder. However I am trying to be better about managing my emotions in order to help me learn to become more mature.

I think being open minded is one of the best ways to be emotionally mature :)

living in the present sometimes makes me feel like I'm not working on my future, and so not learning anything from my past :( I just can´t get out of this rollercoaster

Iʼm actually really grateful to have realised so much things at a young age. (Iʼm fourteen, yep. Cringe as it might seem but thatʼs the truth.) I realised them from my own experience and books, also from having deep conversations with my father. (Right, you guysʼ videos and the comments too!) I wonʼt say that I have went through so much, but life has taught me many. My realizations are almost all contained in this eight minutes video. And even though Iʼve learned a lot, I am still learning to embrace myself. Some people such as friends and my mother criticize my appearance, mostly my mother. I am actually very hurt but does not show it directly, because I know they are just concerned with how I display myself. (Or maybe Iʼm just reassuring myself, haha.) Like said in the video, donʼt dwell on the past too much, or worry about the future excessively too. Make your moments enjoyable, for your time are limited. No one can stay immortal, and it would be better if you start now if you want to do something. Thanks for the video, Psych2go! And for those that read this one long comment of mine. ☺️☺️

Thank you so much for this video! Emotional immaturity is what I feel what's keeping me from connecting with other people and making relationships with people and keeping my friends within my circle and a part of my life. I really do hope I can live my 20s experiencing new feelings, failing and learning to become a better person without regrets just because of my own emotional immaturity and personal fears. I appreciate all your efforts and content.

I just emotionally matured when my mom decided to act like a 6 year old all my life

Thanks for these tips! I already keep a journal, but could still do to write more about how I feel and why. And the rest are very helpful tips as well.

My therapist told me to reframe situations. I've found that helpful! Thank you for putting out your videos! =)

I really love this channel, it's helped me understand my feelings and how to control them, even through tough times (btw, the voice is so soothing and relaxing, I just love😊)
