“Emotional maturity is a state few of us ever reach - or at least not for very long. But it may help us to try to lay out what some of the ingredients are so that we have an idea what we might aim for:
If we were to grow into emotionally mature people, this is some of what we would have learnt how to be:
- We would understand the key role of self-understanding in helping us to grow into more reliable and predictable partners, parents, friends and colleagues. Our greatest ambition would be to reach a heightened understanding of our own minds.
- We would constantly be aware of not being able to complete more than a fraction of this elevated goal and would hence be deeply cautious in all our assertions and conclusions. ‘Sorry’, ‘perhaps’ and ‘maybe’ would be some of our favourite words.
- We would recognise what unfaithful allies our conscious minds are for the project of self-discovery; how much of us wants to know ourselves and how very much more doesn’t want to in the least. We would be humbled by the strength of our inclinations to distraction and denial.
- We would properly realise that we were going to die and would put this terrifying thought to use on a daily basis to nudge us towards greater appreciation, authenticity and focus. It would help us to say, at points, and at last, ‘no.’
- We would realise, with considerable dark humour, that we were fools. We are idiots now, we were idiots then and we will be idiots tomorrow. There are few other options for a human being.
- We would shed our pride; we would realise how much we constantly misunderstand - and never more so than when we begin to have faith in our competence and sanity.
- We would acknowledge the influence of the body on the mind. We may sink into existential despair not because there is anything objectively tragic at hand, but because we are in urgent need of an orange juice or missed out on an hour of sleep.
- We would respect the art of diplomacy and the importance of politeness; we would acknowledge the surprising thought that other people may be just as easily hurt as we are.
- We would learn, painfully, to use language to give those around us an indication of what is at play within us. We wouldn't hold it against them that they didn't understand things we had never bothered to teach them.
- We would realise how much others long for warmth and reassurance and would be less inhibited about offering those two very serious categories of gifts: cosiness and sweetness.
- We would acknowledge that it was impossible to be friends with, or liked by, everyone. Attempting to please universally ultimately only leads to offending many; we would know how to disappoint frankly and quickly to avoid drawn-out appeasement.
- We would feel more carefree at the idea of being strange. Public opinion would matter less, because we would have seen enough of the shallowness and reflex moralism of crowds. This would be our one life, we would know; and we would have the courage to be oddballs where we needed to be.
- We would take our own boredom as a guide. Everyone else might declare it a brilliant book or an extraordinary play. We might toss it aside or walk out.
This is some of what we might think and feel if we ever became those paragons of true intelligence: emotionally mature people.”

  • "So do not ignore your emotions. Instead, recognize them, step back to make sure they are not overpowering your ability to act, and determine how you can channel them to act in a productive manner. If you are able to do this, you will become a master of emotional maturity." Charlotte Maloney

    • ​@@fsadfasfdYeah, you've never been in love. Or held a child of your in your arms. Or have been grateful to see another sunrise. Humans are far more subjective than they are objective. Not only intellectually but emotionally too. Emotions are part of our intelligence. Without them the species would have never survived, and they are a counterpart to our intellect. Both are good servants but poor masters. The truly intelligent never rely on one without consulting the other, and the truly wise master them both.

  • In summary, we would: 1) Strive to know ourselves better 2) Be humble in our opinions and assertions, because self-knowledge is difficult to attain 3) Be mindful that this is because our conscious minds are easily distracted and prone to denial, and thus not very good at accessing unconscious parts of ourselves 4) Frequently remind ourselves of our mortality and use it as a source of focus, appreciation, and courage in daily life 5) Be aware that everyone, including ourselves, is often a bit silly 6) Be comfortable with our fallibility while having reasonable faith in our competence 7) Be conscious that our thoughts and feelings can be influenced by our physiological states (e.g. hunger, sleep deprivation) 8) Respect the importance of politeness, and strive to be considerate of other people 9) Nonetheless learn to express our inner thoughts and feelings accurately rather than expecting people to read our minds 10) Offer people warmth and reassurance freely 11) Accept that we will not be liked by everyone, and stop people pleasing 12) Feel reasonably comfortable about not always conforming to people's expectations 13) Take our boredom seriously

  • Would also like to add one more characteristic... the recognition that 99.999% of people around you don't give a rats ass about emotional maturity and, therefore, lowering one's expectations of finding others respectful and appreciative of your journey is a given.

    • I think that percentage is likely far too high, but assume it's to say the majority, and that most people haven't learnt how important it is in their own lives and how it effects others. But totally agree it's a good idea to lower ones expectations of finding it in others. Also personally I find it helpful to not judge others too quickly if they appear to have low EQ, often it can be low in relation to a small number of ideals they hold, but high with the rest. And if you can find a way to get them to understand their lack of consistent logic or rationality between the opposing ideals, it can do a world of good for many

  • So funny, I was going to scroll past this video, but the video below had a woman pointing at this one so I stopped and went back 😅. I really needed this video at this very moment. I just got back from work, finally had a chance to wind down, and I got wrote up for asking for advice from coworkers among other things of the sort, and I went to the bathroom and cried. They made me feel so bad about myself…I kept a calm, steady demeanor when they spoke to me, apologized, one of them didn’t even want to look me in the face during the conversation :,(. He kept an umbrella between us. I left, walked to my car holding in tears, then got in and sat in silence. I’m going to go into my last shift of the week tomorrow and in the end resign :,). I don’t have issues with expressing myself nor embarrassment. Why would I want to stay in an environment I will constantly feel insecure in! Although, you have to still keep a clear mind, and act respectfully. No matter if they make u cry! Some may see it as a negative thing for me to quit 🤷‍♀️ I trust myself, I am able to flourish elsewhere and that’s what this video needed to remind me ♥️.

  • "We wouldn't hold it against them that they didn't understand things we had never bothered to teach them." Wisest thing I've heard in a while. I'm in a relationship where sometimes I feel too lost in understanding if the things I say and do are really that much stupid. I feel like I get many things wrong and I feel my partner can't be really satisfied. This makes me wonder that perhaps, unconsciously, I can make her feel the same and that she's somewhat trying to understand me too. From now on I feel I can be more forgiving with myself for not knowing everything before I learn it and more forgiving with her too when I feel she's not getting what I consider the basics. Thanks for the blessing, hope everyone's enjoying life as it is.

  • This is one of the most important things that society (and individuals) could benefit from as it hopefully becomes more widespread. After 23 years of depression, anxiety, undiagnosed ADHD and short stay in the looney bin, my life is actually worth living and largely enjoyable now thanks to learning, building, and maintaining my mental wellbeing. Now I'm even writing a novel on it in hope that it will help others avoid the rabbit holes of an untrained mind in a chaotic world.

  • Excellent, as always. I happen to have advanced degrees and enjoy all of that stuff in my big brain that allows me to have fun with frontal lobe dynamics. Human beings are, however, social creatures, which is why I have believed for a long time that emotional intelligence is infinitely more important than intellectual intelligence. I think Einstein understood this, which explains why he quite literally shifted some paradigms with that whole "space/time" thing, but was also a great humanitarian. Thank you yet again School of Life. I really appreciate you all and your very important work. : )

    • @LoveEarthHereAndNow Psycho says what? Um, I re-read my post and saw that I wrote, "I happen to have advanced degrees." I also said some other stuff, but I "like" how you not only noticed that but took the time to write something that can only be interpreted as an attempt to "put me in my place." If I had a dollar for every time an "alternative person" going by the name of "Bean Sprout" or "LoveEarthHereAndNow" eventually showed themselves to be passive aggressive control freaks, I would be a wealthy woman indeed. I have the great fortune of living in Kealakekua, Hawaii of "little grass shack" fame. You can't throw a rock around here and not hit a passive aggressive "hippie" wearing bodhi beads and, perhaps, an ohm tattoo or whatever who is in actuality running from something or someone in his or her past. You can run to Hawaii from Michigan or whatever and change your name to Bean Sprout or whatever, but you will still be Debbie or whatever from Michigan, and there is nothing whatsoever wrong with tha. Maybe try making peace with Debbie or whatever, and your supposed desire for "peace" might be more real. From where I stand, your "peace" feels rather oppressive. Also, people who live in glass houses should probably not throw stones. Duh. Aloha.

No regrets. : ) My "subject position," meaning my critical bias, was psychoanalytic criticism. I have, therefore, read all or at least many of the "heavy hitters" in the fields of psychology and psychoanalysis, including Freud, Jung, and their descendants. I also read a lot of philosophy and mythology. Nietzche and Joseph Campbell are the bomb. I also enjoy physics. Albert Einstein is a personal hero of mine for many reasons. So there you have it. I think I said previously that I live in Hawaii. Aloha. : )

  • I think emotional intelligence is a journey. If someone sees it as a goal to be 'reached,' it may not reflect emotional maturity. Self-understanding comes from both introspection and an openness to life. It's okay to make mistakes and learn from them-give yourself grace, then move on. Our emotions are powerful and can teach us a lot about ourselves. Keep healing, getting to know the intricate parts of your deeper self! Who knows, perhaps you might find yourself. ♡

  • ah so according to this i'm supremely emotionally mature, yet i've never been in a close relationship, and i don't really know why. maybe my understanding is part of why i don't feel the need to engage in superficial connection with others, but there's also a part of me that is immature in other ways, that my more mature mind recognizes as being just that. i'm afraid this part of me is always going to interfere and never allow me to be the person want to, and feel like i could be. i probably also hold myself and others to unrealistically high standards, that i get anxious over not being able to reach. i only have these standards because i know i have reached them in the past though, i'm just constantly frustrated that i can't be my best self as often as i'd like to be. i've come to accept this a bit more over the years, but i still care too much to allow myself to really open up to new people, always thinking i'm just gonna disappoint them when they get to know me better. the worst part is that this almost always actually happens, it's not just some unfounded fear. my personality or set of strengths and weaknesses just doesn't seem suited to good relationships at all. something is seriously wrong with me probably, even if the thing that's wrong with me is always thinking that there's something wrong with me when there isn't. it doesn't really matter what they wanna call it, the outcome of it is that i'm entirely unable to form close emotional bonds with people. i either keep them at a distance, allow myself to be the fool and third wheel in every interaction, or push people away when i get to know them better. a lot of it can prbably be brought back to my parents, as always, but it's so engrained in me that i can't get rid of it anymore i don't think. kind of at a loss lately, even though in other ways i'm doing much better than some years ago

    • Well, I suppose theres two sides to look at. Yourself, and why you would stay or go. And what that means for who you are and what place you are at. I don’t need to tell you how devastating that experience is, but you need to think long and hard about what is really keeping you from going after something like that happening. And on the other side, question would be what was the underlying reason that she would seek to cheat? What kind of attachment style does she have, and is this actually something she would out genuine effort that makes progress into overcoming maladaptive mechanisms? Because that is not easy, people will give it lip service but pulling through is a hell of a battle, that most people fight to avoid in the first place. Its not easy to give up on relationships, especially when its become a big part of your life and emotions. It can feel like losing your future, your past, your most precious feelings and so much of oneself even. But you need to be with someone who will still respect you and love you, and try their absolute hardest to strive towards health in communication and relating when things get hard. Staying in a situation where that isn’t the case is bad for both parties involved. I don’t know if you’ll read all if this if not thats fine. There is always peace on the other side of the storm, and you will make it.

    • ​@fishsteak3246 We've been doing long-distance for a while now, with the plans to move in together in the near future. Her love language is physical touch. I might be sticking around due to attachment. My head and my heart are at battle. A part of me wants to show her that true love can be resilient and that you can know a person's mistakes and still love them. I want her to know that I truly see her and I'm still here. That's what my hearts says. On the other hand my head understands the challenges that come with sticking around. I'm really confused about how to move forward. I feel like giving up on this girl would be to kill the optimist in me.

    • @@akshaybalalee4804 Long distance is a rough one, I’ve been there. Do you know about attachment theory? Its different from love languages, but i think its pretty valuable knowledge to have generally. It helped me figure out a lot of stuff when I was going through troubles. Anyhow, with her love language, while its a totally normal thing to have that, instead of communicating that she was struggling with that she went for a maladaptive method of acquiring what she perceived as somethings she needed. That is a massive problem, and trust me, that needs to change for good. A secure, healthy person who genuinely is secure enough to love you and respect you properly will communicate and find a way through it through healthy, non destructive channels. But that is easier said than done, and unhealthy partners most of the time will tell you, maybe even with intent, that it’ll change, but actually sticking to that is not easy and often not followed through. I learned that the hard way. After forgiveness for something terrible, things went well for a while, he even looked like he was getting healthier mentally, but when things got rough the exact same problem came up again. You cannot fix someone, and it comes from a good, noble place to want to show someone strong love and get through anything. One thing I had to learn was unconditional love is only healthy when its between a parent and child. For our sakes as well as our partners we need to have truly deserved, boundaried and healthy love. And some people are just not in the right place for that. And it’s on them to be there, its not your job nor can you ever make someone a truly secure, healthy partner. Even with all of the love in the world thrown at them, it won’t make a difference unless they’re willing to fight and overcome their personal baggage to be a healthy partner. Yeah, its easy to feel your optimism fly out he window after going through that, i went through that hard. But that feeling won’t last forever. Because there is health and a lot of growing that can come out of these situations. For me, it was realising it was not giving up in the relationship, it was seeing he would never fix his problems if i just became a safety net and forgave everything. That leaving was the only way for us to grown from this. It was admitting something had broken, especially the trust. But that through the most painful experiences we learn so much about ourselves, that is the biggest opportunity to grow. When we’re exposed to our shadows, the parts of ourselves we don’t want to see and reject.

  • I've watched many great school life videos but this is not one of them. it begins by instilling defeat in its viewers. then it continues to use the past future tense to mock them: "if you had become emotionally mature, these are the things you would've realized". it lists aphorisms that hold no substance, are incredibly abstract, and offers no practical solutions that activates the viewers. the pacing of this video also gives no room for the viewer to pause and reflect. if it were a written piece, it would be a bulleted list of unhelpful tautologies that are common knowledge.
