Uh..what about someone who is an adult acting like a child, is he/she considered immature though sometimes he/she can think like a mature person when needed?

Well I say it's what you do and say...if you run around in your undies saying I want a cookie...that's an example of not being mature....to me having a sensible and reasonable mind is a mature person.....I guess.....

that remind me with kaji-san @ NGE. haha.. does he?
actually i think if that person act like child but do not act too over (overacting) + act like he/she as they should be at the time they need to act like a wiseman...he/she is okay.

maybe that person cannot act too serious or he/she can but thinks that this activity/this group need some jokes..just said the act depend on the situation... when it is the time for jokes do not be too serious..when the jokes are go too far then take the act to surpress it so that it is still normal. (it is the situation when the person is in a group.. or with other people)

I've seen a bunch of wierd people in my life, but I realized that the way they act doesn't really show how mature they are.
One of my friends fo instance, he seems ok, talks like a mature person, but leave him alone for a while and he'll end up doing something stupid and childish.

It's kinda obvious what maturity is, but it's hard to say when is someone mature.
Maturity depends on age, their life experiances and their personality, so many different things relate to maturity, even the most "mature" person could do a really immature thing? does that mean that they are now immature?

I'm not sure what's maturity. I don't even think I'm mature, but everyone says I'm mature for my age. So I need to know myself

In my opinion Maturity is knowing that there is a time and place for everything and also taking responsibility which many people don't do i find myself to be a very mature person being in the college that I'm in. which in itself leaves me surrounded by immature morons. I think that when you step up for something and know when to show your intelligence and when to just be cool is showing maturity

Maturity can be categorized in many ways it could be how smart you are how talented you are or just overall life experiences. so its tough to exactly say what maturity is. many people say that if you criticizes someone then your immature...

For example if a guy was to say he doesn't like gays then people label him as being a "Immature" jerk why people say these things i don't know but immaturity is sometimes collaborated with "Words"...

Well, I feel that the way most people think of maturity is a lot like my view on wisdom. You can't really say you are wise and have anyone take you seriously. It’s just one of those things that others label you as and is not self proclaimed.

When I think of maturity I end up going to the root of the word itself. Someone matures as they grow, isn't that the basic meaning of the word? If you think of it this way then no one is "mature". People can be more mature than others, but that is only in their thoughts and actions. So someone can be in the state of acting "mature", but the next minute they can be acting "immature". Do you understand what I’m trying to get at? If someone was to be called mature by many other people, they only know that by what that person says and does. These can be called mature actions, but I feel that the people labeled as mature are just the ones who can act that way for the longest period of time before doing something "childish" as you say.

I really hope that made a least a little sense. :/
