I have a mature personality by nature...
But as far as my anger-management...It depends on WHO makes me angry.
i.e. I will argue with my man, profusely... but at some point (anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour) into the "discussion" I can stop -- regroup and then resolve (if he's willing) the issue. That process used to take anywhere from a day to a week to a month, depending on the issue... Ugggghh
- adversely -
when ANYONE ELSE pisses me off... I don't have to say, do, respond very much b/c 2 minutes later I usually dont care... I can even continue to deal with idiots in "close" situations... and they may know they irritate me, but they can still trust/work with me. I can remain a pleasant person. People apologize to me a lot when they do piss me off because I continue to be nice to them.
IMHO I am less mature with my man b/c I am still working on my relationship management skills... It's like dayuuuum, I almost expect other people to be stupid asses, but I chose to "date" you b/c I felt you were on a different plane... but people are going to be people. I know I have no right to expect near-perfection from him, hell I can't provie that!!
But I would say I am fair to middlin' concerning my anger-management maturity 'cept with my man.
