Have you Grown up?

They say you have grown up when " Your actions are no longer self centered but are done with the awarness how they will affect others"

Agree or disagree?

Update:

Rat brain. There is a difference between growing up and growing older.

    Sounds like a wise statement. I am striving to be such.

    I disagree. To consider the effect on others of your actions is not a complete definition of maturity. I might care about others' feelings constantly, but my lack of confidence and difficulty with physical contact render me far from Grown Up just yet.

    That is part of growing up but not everything. Growing up is more learning to be responsible for your actions.

    Your definition is learning to be compassiate and unselfish. Some people grow up ( not just grow Old) and still are a little selfish.

    No, not really.

    A 50 year old kid.

    I do get PC at times, like for work or when meeting a new girl.

    I disagree. Growing up happens to everyone, regardless of whether they think of others or not.
