How are you going to rate yourself when it comes to maturity? How often your friends see the childish you? What stage of maturity do you belong? Have you ever ask yourself a question but suddenly you realized that you already know the answer?
For me, there are many aspects of 'maturity' in a human's life. Psychologically, spiritually, emotionally, mentally.... and in other dimensions. And it's very important to know if your maturity grows in all of those dimensions.
But sometimes it depends on people you socialize with... because not all your friends know you at all.
Maybe your friends knows only 50% of your maturity; they can easily distinguish if you're matured when you decide like you are the boss and the one who understands situation deeper. It's when you spend Friday night or having pajama party with friends and you don't want to think about your problems, you don't want to grow fast as it goes that way, you just want to play & party.... Your friends can also say that you're matured enough if someone do unwanted thing and you tell her/him to stop it or leave it. You know how to comfort your friends and you think ahead than them.
Your Classmates may know only 60% - 80% but depends if you are too open on your classmates. In my case, they wouldn't know if I have a problem because I can hide it. It makes me childish in a way that it shields me from being problematic or bringing home problems to school. In a group project or in a thesis, you're mature enough if you're the whose waking up your group mate's mind to do your project than talking about non-related issues and from stopping them from eating too much while working.
But your family knows almost 80% of your maturity because they're the ones who were with you since birth and the ones who noticed your different characteristics. Most of the time, you're responsible for the works on your home.... you're the one who knows what to do when you wake up in the morning. Especially when you're the eldest. You must be the most matured. Maybe the 20% of it wasn't yet discovered by your family because it's when you're with your classmates or friends. Sometimes they didn't know that you're behave outside or the bad influence kind. That's why I can't say that it's totally 100% inside your home.
