I dont think that seriousness and maturity are directly related.

Maturity comes from experience or maybe from environment,but that doesnt mean that a person becomes serious.Your exterior doesnt always match the interior ,does it?

Maturity is afterall a way of thinking and responding.But its not necessory that the response is serious.Because as we grow mature we dont loose our sense of humour or laughter,its just that a mature person is more definite about right and wrong.

2 nd point in my opinion is always dependent on 1. I do not think without the 1st attribute some one can exhibit 2 under all circumstances.

Read my point marked in red 😆!

Ok I have come up with my simple theory on Maturity...

There are 2 types of Maturity :

1) Maturity in thoughts (high level thinking), attitude, understanding level, and deeds.

2) Maturity in behaviour - The way a person behaves around other people.

Lot of people mistake the 2^nd one to be an apt sign of maturity, whereas its not maturity in behaviour, but maturity in thoughts, attitude, understanding level and deeds that characterizes one's maturity 😊. And a person who has the first kind of maturity would obviously know how to behave under various circumstances. So even if such a person is jovial and goofing around most of the time, there shouldnt be anything immature about him/her.

Thus, immaturity in behaviour cannot be mistaken for immaturity in thoughts, attitude, understanding level and deeds 😊.

Very well said....

You have made it very simple for many of us 😆 Now, whenever people call me silly / immatured or whatever, then I can say that "Hey, guys it is just that I dont show my maturity in behavior ok, where as in my thoughts I am matured...." 😃

Seriously, u solved the biggest problem of my life. I am really tired of hearing these comments. Specially when I go back to India.
