Switching from childhood to adulthood can be challenging. Work on not acting like a child by managing your emotions. With a little bit of practice, you will begin to see yourself acting more like an adult than a child.
● Accept responsibility for your actions.
You should take responsibility for your actions, whether they are intentional(故意的) or unintentional. Failing to accept responsibility may seem like a good idea at the time, but in the long term it will not benefit you. For example, if you accidentally back into your neighbor's car, let them know by writing them a note or knocking on their door. Then, correct your mistake by paying for the damage.
● Show people respect.
Respect your partner, family members, friends, and strangers As you grow up and mature, you should understand the concept of respect and why it is important. Giving respect will also give you more respect in return.
● Develop a way to handle conflict maturely.
When you are faced with a conflict, it is important to keep your emotions in check. Control your anger and avoid becoming aggressive. Give yourself time to cool down if you are really angry. This will prevent you from saying and doing things that you shouldn't do in the heat of the moment.
● Receive feedback(反馈) positively.
People learn and grow by receiving feedback and criticism from others. You should accept that you don't know everything and that feedback from an expert is not meant to hurt you. It is meant to help you. For example, thoroughly read through your edits on your research paper.
