Mental maturity question?
Question:
After I'd bought some stuff from Tesco, I was unchaining my bike when I noticed these two young, very weird-looking teenagers with pink, spiky hair, black make-up and all that crap splashed all over them. I wasn't trying to be rude or anything, but I couldn't help glancing at them every now & then & finally, the boy stuck his finger up at me. Originally, I was just going to let it go (I really wish I had), do the mature thing & cycle home. However, because I've been under a lot of stress for the past few days, I snapped, confronted them, stuck BOTH my fingers up at them & screamed my mouth of at them. At the time, I felt satisfied getting my own back on them, but now that I'm feeling relaxed, I'm very ashamed of myself. I'm 23 & I lowered myself to their level & acted like a 10-year-old girl. How embarrassing!
I obviously still have some growing up to do. So, what is the best way to educate mental maturity?
Answers:
Everybody makes mistakes or snaps and then realises afterwards that it wazn't a good idea. The fact that you recognise this shows more maturity, next time you know that you should walk away and ignore them or just smile if you want to upset them. Do not be so hard on yourself.
the best way to mature is to live and make your mistakes.
honestly, someone that does that wants the attention. frankly they shouldnt be offended if someone stares. they are asking for it. yeah, maybe you shouldnt have shot back, but it isnt any big deal. just move on, and learn from it.
Realizing that it wasn't important and that you would probably never see this person again and what difference would it make in your life in 15 minutes?? To understand that you don't have to take everything personally. He would probably would have done the same to anyone. He was also probably wondering why you kept looking at them, that's a very uncomfortable feeling wondering if you're judging them by the way that they looked, he probably decided to act like her thought he was going to act even if that hadn't been his intention in the first place. I'm sorry that they were rude to you but no one likes to be stared at either.
