Hi, I'm happy to answer your question. I hope you find these suggestions helpful.
For such adults, it's not really worth learning or aspiring to. From childhood to adulthood, I've always envied children. It seems like I've never had the life and opportunities of children. Since childhood, I've learned to read people's expressions and put on an act to create a relatively peaceful living environment.
This kind of maturity and understanding isn't necessarily the best in terms of quality.
So when we have the so-called vigor or aggression of youth, it's actually a good thing. It means we're in our prime.
We only reach a certain level of maturity when we reach a certain age, have had certain experiences, and have even suffered many setbacks. This maturity can be called both sophistication and disappointment and powerlessness, as well as the lack of a safety net.
We know that even if we express our unhappiness or deal with things in a black-and-white manner, things won't change as we wish and it will also hurt us. For example, at work, if we don't get along with our colleagues and communicate with our leaders in a peaceful manner, we may lose our jobs, which will damage our financial situation and affect our daily expenses, even the basic necessities of life.
So when we go through these kinds of experiences, we naturally learn to hide our emotions.
We need to be aware of this so-called adult state and decide if we want to actively transform it.
In other words, even if we don't make such changes this year or next year, maybe in five or ten years, we'll still be in the same place. This may be the only way for every society.
This is something we can achieve through life experiences, and we can choose to make individual adjustments along the way.
For the former, it's like the growth that comes from the lessons mentioned above.
For the latter, we are our own person. It's important to be aware of whether we want to make changes.
If we're not going to be seriously affected by the way we act now, and we can still socialize or work smoothly, then there's no need to change. It's also good to maintain the way we should be as young people.
But if, after becoming more self-aware, we realize that our work has been negatively affected or that we want more maturity and stability for ourselves, then it's okay to make changes.
The key to change is that we can look at problems from different angles and come up with different solutions. For instance, we can try watching more debate competitions. In fact, there are many things in life that aren't so straightforward. Apart from the legal aspects, there are many gray areas in moral issues and even in how to get along with others.
The essence of a debate is to see the same event from different positions and perspectives and to understand what each person thinks. This is a way to train our ability to look at problems from different perspectives.
It doesn't matter what stage of life you're at, you're an adult now. The key to adulthood is taking responsibility and having the courage to do so.
It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, we need to know what's right and what's positive. Even if things get smoothed out by life, we can't stop young people from staying young and letting them do the right things we wanted to do when we were their age.
We hope that self-awareness will help you find a way of being and acting that suits you, and to follow your heart and become the person you want to be. You are the best you that you can be!
I love the world and you!

It's tough when you feel a strong dislike for someone, but learning to mask those feelings is part of growing up. We all have our triggers, and it's natural to react. However, with practice, you can learn to manage your reactions. Try focusing on the bigger picture or finding common ground that allows you to interact more positively. It's also helpful to remind yourself of your goals in each situation and how showing respect, even if you don't feel it, can help you achieve them.
Understanding and accepting that everyone has layers can make a difference. People are complex, and not everything about them will align with your values. Instead of letting one aspect overshadow the entire person, try to acknowledge it without letting it dictate your behavior. When you catch yourself reacting negatively, take a deep breath and shift your focus to something you can appreciate about them or the situation. Over time, this can help you become more adept at maintaining a neutral or positive demeanor.
Developing emotional intelligence is key here. It involves recognizing your emotions and understanding what triggers them, as well as learning how to manage and express them constructively. You might consider practicing empathy by trying to see things from the other person's perspective. This doesn't mean you have to agree with them, but it can help you respond in a way that's less reactive and more thoughtful. Building this skill takes time, so be patient with yourself as you work on it.
Becoming a mature adult often means mastering the art of diplomacy. It's about being able to navigate social situations gracefully, even when they're challenging. One approach is to set clear boundaries for yourself regarding what you're willing to engage with and what you can let go. By doing so, you protect your emotional space while still being able to interact professionally and politely. Remember, it's okay to not like someone, but it's important to handle those feelings in a way that doesn't impact your own growth or professionalism.
