"Not taking the piss out of people who wear comfy shoes out of a workplace.  "
On a dress down day in a previous job I went home and put my carpet slippers on and then wore them to work. For some reason my gaffer went ballistic.  |

I think it's accepting that not everyone will like you, that everyone has a right to a different opinion to yours and having a different opinion is not a personal slight, sex does not equal love and it is easier to be kind than it is to be unkind.

It's about being able to understand your own emotions, to recognise, control, nurture and accept them.
True emotional maturity for me came then I could also learn to recognise the emotions of others and how my actions effected and influenced them. |

I agree. In addition it is about understanding how repressed emotions distort behaviour and being self aware enough to recognise when it happens and having strategies to deal with the repressed emotions.
There is also the comptence to transform base emotions into higher order emotions through sublimation or other such processes. |

For me the ability to be reflective plays a big part in emotional maturity. If you can't reflect on how your actions affect and impact yourself and others you are destined to be stuck in perpetuity.
I can't promise I'll never be an immature or insensitive dick at times (and nor can most people) but I can try to keep improving and be a dick less often.
I'm only 40 but I think I'm getting there.

"What do you think it is and have you got it??"
I think I have. I call it emotional intelligence. It means I don't mind much when things go wrong, I can walk away from a sexual situation without getting inappropriate emotions, it means I don't get stressy when I don't get meets, it means I'm open mind and selfaware about myself and it means I have a good time on Fab. |

Frankly I agree with what people have posted in here as to what emotional maturity or intelligence is. I think it is a quality that is being recognised as very important in all areas of life. Interestingly EQ, Emotional Quotient or EI, Emotional Intelligence are now being recognised as the best indicators of future in job performance by recruiters.
The other stuff I've put in my earlier posts maybe can be seen as forms of emotional mastery that come through personal development and transformation usually under guidance from therapists or spiritual guides. |

Here's a good definition of emotiona intelligence, which I would call maturity:
emotional intelligence
noun
1.
the capacity to be aware of, control, and express one's emotions, and to handle interpersonal relationships judiciously and empathetically.
"emotional intelligence is the key to both personal and professional success" |
