#GrowUpInside
Emotional maturity gets thrown around a lot, but it rarely means the same thing for everyone.
For some, it’s about handling conflict without shutting down; for others, it’s apologizing, taking responsibility, or not blaming everyone else. It’s not about being perfect—it’s about how you react when things get messy, not just calm.
This activity is about sharing your personal markers of emotional maturity:
- what you actually notice in people,
- what feels grown‑up to you,
- and where you feel you are on that journey.
No judgment, no textbook answers—just honest, real talk.
TASK: Copy and answer these four parts:
1. Curate YOUR “maturity checklist” by writing 5 short phrases/statements that describe what emotional maturity looks like to you. You can be inspired by the examples below, but you don’t have to copy them:
a. Apologizes without making excuses.
b. Admits I’m wrong instead of deflecting.
c. Can sit with uncomfortable feelings instead of escaping.
After your list, add 1 sentence (complete thought) why these feel mature to you.
2. Name‑and‑fame: a “mature moment”
Describe one short moment you’ve seen (or done) that fits at least one of your chosen phrases.
3. Name‑and‑shame: a “not‑there‑yet” moment
Describe one short moment where someone (you or others) acted emotionally immature. Tie it to at least one thing from your checklist or the opposite (blaming, exploding, shutting down, etc.).
4. In 1 sentence, say where you feel you are now:
Ex: “ Learning as I go .” “ Still very reactive, but aware.”
You can admit it’s messy; that’s part of maturity too.
MANDATORY: It's not part of this activity to mention anyone or use your default mention for fellow Tanglers—whoever you mention won't be able to read your comment within 72 hours anyway, so STOP that. Anyone who does will incur a 100k DEDUCTION. TRY ME.
Also, anyone who has a deleted comment (even if you comment again) will not be rewarded.
ATTACHMENT: Maturity Ladder
- Draw a 5 steps ladder on a piece of paper
- On each step, write the phrases/statements you answered in Task1
- Bottom: “ Growing up is hard, but growing inside feels more real than acting adult. ”
Rules & Reminders:
- Pink/Grey BADGES (5+ marketplace badges) only
- Be subscribed to
- COMMENT your answer below with tag #GrowUpInside + mention
- I read submissions one by one, and I understand those copied or rephrased entries. If this happens again, you will be blocked and will no longer be able to participate in any future activities
- Closes at 10 entries.
- Failure to follow any of the given rules may be subject to disqualification or deduction of rewards!
VERY VERY IMPORTANT NOTES FOR THIS ACTIVITY:
BASE REWARD is 300,000 MLX per participant. Duplicate entries won’t be entertained .
***I set the comments to be visible only after 72 hours. This activity will officially close once the comments are made public. This approach is intended to be fair to those who participate early. I typically provide feedback on each entry, detailing any deductions. However, I've noticed that some participants submit their entries after the comments are visible, which allows them to benefit from insights that others may have missed. This policy aims to ensure a level playing field for all participants.***
1. DISQUALIFICATION
• Posting inside the group/Commenting the link to a post
• Entries out of topic
• NOT subscribed to
• COPIED or REPHRASED entries
• Entries from someone with more than 1 Tangled account
2. DEDUCTIONS

3. ALL deductions from rule-breakers will be split evenly among participants who followed every rule.
In cases where the deductions are significantly larger and the participants who followed the rules do not exceed half of the capped entries, a portion of the deduction will be allocated to standout entries. Meanwhile, those who complied with the rules will also receive their share.
