I don't know if I want to become mature quickly or not. "Mature" people seem so boring and blind to me but still I feel like I shouldn't be stuck in immaturity, I need to move forward.

Besides I don't even know how mature I am... More than average for my age I guess, but who wouldn't guess it?

The ideal would to become one of those adult but still honestly enthusiast and self-aware people. But it's unusual and surely takes effort to be one of those.

What do you think are the key attitudes/actions to not become a passive being while not being just a child?

I think there are maybe a series of steps 1. childhood: dependent on others 2. early adulthood: develop and deepen independence and agency 3. maturity: others actually dependent on you. less independence in a sense, but perhaps greater agency

Steps from 1 to 2 (what I think you're getting at): Learn things, build things, become capable of things, try things, learn to support yourself, fail and learn to recover

A lot of it is just doing things honestly Passivity is the killer Happen to things rather than letting them happen to you when you can Major problem of childhood in the US is a lack of agency and development thereof

I am going from step 1 to 2 no doubt. Passivity is the killer, I couldn't agree more, but still it's what seems to be expected from me. I try to learn and do stuff but I'm shy or ashamed about it, I think culture is fucked up because of this. Thanks for the advice.

sure thing! if you're still in school for sure a really easy way to break out there (if you're at a uni) is to just go to office hours and ask professors about what they're doing and possibly if there's any work you can do in their labs work--just take stuff and own it
