Infantilism does not suit an adult. Because of this quality, those around him do not perceive him as a mature person, they do not take him seriously. If you want to become more adapted to life and independent, work on yourself.
Instructions
Step 1
Look at yourself from the side to imagine how others see you. This exercise will help you make sure that an adult without an opinion of his own, capricious, flighty, with the habits of a child, can cause irritation or laughter. If you do not want to be treated with indulgence in the future, start working on your own internal attitudes.
Step 2
Develop a clear position on every aspect of life that worries you. Think about what you want out of life. Form your system of principles. Understand yourself. If it is still difficult for you to orient yourself in the outside world on your own, choose an authority for yourself - a great scientist, politician or other person. Study the biography of your idol and think about what position of this person is close to you in spirit.
Step 3
Broaden your horizons. Try to be aware of the political, economic situation in the country and the world. It is important not only to know what is happening in society, but also to be able to see the true background of events and understand what changes may occur in the near future. Stop living in your world, realize what is happening around you.
Step 4
Get rid of naivety. Look critically at yourself, your lifestyle, and the people around you. Get rid of illusions. Don't take other people's words for granted, check the facts. Include critical thinking. Remember not to blindly trust others. Think about what own motives your acquaintances or colleagues may have, and only then go to meet them. Don't be fooled.
Step 5
Become an independent person. Realize responsibility for your own life. Try to support yourself. Stop relying on someone. Rely only on your own strength. Perhaps then you will have to reconsider many habits, from something to give up. But in return you will get a feeling of inner freedom and independence.
Step 6
Keep your word. If you made a promise to someone, do not deceive someone else's trust. Let others perceive you as a serious, reliable person. Thanks to this habit, you will stop conducting empty talk and become a more thoughtful person. Your attitude towards yourself, your words and actions will change.
Step 7
Learn to express your point of view. Use precise reasoning. Present proven facts in a logical sequence. During the discussion, try not only to state your position, but also to listen to opponents. The ability to understand others and realize their own mistakes distinguishes a serious person from an infantile, stubborn person.
Step 8
Control your emotions. An adult is distinguished from a child by restraint. In some situations, for example, in a public place or at work, it is not at all acceptable to express your feelings violently, especially negative ones. Watch yourself. Don't let yourself lose your temper in front of those around you.
