Re: How can I come off as more mature?

[(Anonymous)]

At first, listen more than you talk.

Have something to say when you do talk. Don't laugh or babble just to fill the silence. Silence is okay.

Don't feel like you have to agree with someone to be agreeable. Especially if you don't really agree.

Conversely don't fight with someone if you disagree with them. You don't even have to tell how you feel. A sure mark of immaturity is feeling like your opinion is so important that everyone must hear. They don't.

Have an opinion though. Even if you don't talk about it. Having an opinion that you decline to discuss--e.g. politics at work--is not the same as having no opinion or being clueless and people can tell.

Read a lot. Keep up with news.

Stay calm. Try to react to problems by asking or suggesting what you can do to help solve them instead of asking whose fault or why you.

Try not to let the little things get to you. Practice hiding it if they do.

con't.

Don't be afraid to ask questions. Only hotshot kids think they know everything there is to know. Don't be afraid to be wrong, either. Don't be afraid to say you learned something.

Being aware of your own weaknesses is one step. Being aware and able to laugh about them is another. Being aware, able to laugh about them, and mention what you're trying to do to help them is the third. Assume every job interview will ask you this question, and the last thing is what they want to hear.

Have confidence in yourself. Know what you don't know, but know what you do know that others don't, too. Everyone's good in some areas that others are not. Own your decisions, whatever they are.

And in some irony take note that nobody can tell you what being mature means, including me.
