The fastest way to see someone's emotional maturity
is to tell them how they hurt you. Not with accusations
not with a perfect explanation just tell them how it felt.

Someone emotionally mature will listen without defending
themselves. They won't rush to justify. They won't make it
their intentions. They'll try to understand the impact.
They'll sit with the discomfort. They'll validate your feelings
even when it's hard.
Because they know something important. Acknowledging your pain
does not diminish them.

It strengthens the bond.

Imaturity looks diferent.
It hides behind denial, deflection, blame.
An immature heart will call you sensitve.
They will twist your words into an attack.
They'll turn your hurt into something you cause
and suddenly you're explaining yourself
while your pain gets ignored.

In that moment something becomes very clear.
Not about the argument about their capacity.
Because someone who cannot hold your pain
cannot grow with you.

Pay attention to how someone responds
when you're honest about being hurt.
That response tells you everything.
