Maturity is learning to walk away from people and situations that threaten your peace of mind, self-respect, values, morals, and self-worth.[image]gummy_bare t1_izjj643 wrote
if you think your morals and values are so perfect that you walk away from anyone who merely challenges the beliefs you hold, then you aren't mature.

merely being the key word here. If I had to guess Humanity is constantly guilty of giving people who traumatize them more time then they deserved to traumatize you with.
if I had to guess I would say Most people who walk away from their connections (often family members) do so at great personal burden. Knowing its cause they are moving to the light at the other end of the tunnel. so maybe cool it with the maturity gatekeeping.

You have a point but threaten your values and morals is different from challenging them.

That is basically what a bunch of far right-wing people say. I firmly disagree. If they are harassing or threatening you, walk/run away. If you are having a conversation though, and are having your beliefs/views questioned, it is good to listen, but remain critical. That is how you grow as a person and become better at challenging preconceived views you hold. It is hard to know you are right if you never hear what the other side has to say.

Okay but you literally repeated what I wrote. Threatening is different from challenging. „Threatening your morals“ to me sounds like someone trying to convince you to commit a crime for example.
