Being overthinking and overacting like immature ways
Earlier, one of my friend told me that I'm too oa nowadays, it said that I didn't change my attitude like I'm not acting with my age. Actually, it hurts but I didn't judge that person because of the observation. I need help how can I supposedly act like an mature one's. I know it wasn't easy to being matured person but I wanted to change my personality. In addition, being too much overthinking it wasn't easy to me sometimes I dunno what I'm doing in a hour. How can I overcome of this situation?
@Marytiffany I’m sorry you’re going through this, overthinking and feeling like you’re overacting can be really hard to manage, and it’s completely okay to struggle sometimes.
Maturity isn’t about being perfect or never making mistakes, it’s about learning and growing at your own pace. Everyone is different, and you don’t need to change your personality to be mature, being yourself is enough.
When your thoughts feel overwhelming, try to be gentle with yourself. Taking small moments to pause, breathe deeply, and focus on something around you or a simple task can really help bring you back to the present. It’s okay not to have all the answers right away. You’re doing your best, and that’s enough! 💛
Don't change or water yourself down just because someone said you were immature. If you really do want to change, do it for you not because of what anyone else thinks of you.
@Marytiffany I'm sorry you had to go through that, I've faced this situation many times, people need to understand maturity isn't about acting all serious and isn't same for everyone... It hurts when someone calls you immature based on their external observations but most of the time, it's from people who don't know you personally and probably has a close minded perspective of the word "maturity" in their expectations.
It doesn't mean you're not mature or are not capable, it means you have a different and unique personality 🤍 and you don't have to change it for others... you know you more than anyone else does. ❤️
maturity doesn't mean you're not allowed to have fun or express yourself in your own way, the fact that you reflect so much on things doesn't make you childish— It means you care, and that you're thoughtful and real. ❤️try not to be too hard on yourself ❤️
You're Awesome <3 Sending lots of love and best wishes towards you! 🕊️
I agree with Mya and Fossil. Nobody can tell us how we “should” behave. If they criticize you it might be that they are insecure about themselves and their behavior.
The advice Mya gave to stay in the present by focusing on your breathing and noticing things you see, hear and feel can help to ground you and calm your nervous system. That can also help you to respond in a calm way to anyone that upsets you.
Remember one approval from ourselves is worth countless from the outer environment(other people). ❤️
