That's called being True to yourself. Maturity has a very different definition in the East. A youngster who acted as if he was "true to himself" would be considered dis-obedient and maybe even a rebel.
Would you say Prince William lacks maturity because he has to uphold royal values even though at times he may feel it gets a bit too much? Does that make him immature?
- PeterisP 13y agoActually, Prince William does not have to uphold royal values - he can (and probably does) choose to do so. He could also choose not to uphold royal values and choose to have a completely different life (as for example, Edward VIII) - and it is entirely his choice to make. Being a disobedient rebel is an option - and often harder, as family support is very useful and wanted; However, it is orthogonal to maturity. I'd define maturity as the ability to know if you'd be happier while fitting in your social ties or 'rebelling', and doing so. I'd define immaturity as rashly accepting any of those options without understanding what you are - blindly obeying elders against your own morals would be immature; and regretted rebellion out of spite is clearly also immature.
