I certainly consider my own behavior to be sometimes immature and not age appropriate. 

As for what a reasonable person might consider immature behavior?

- Demanding respect while making it clear you don't know how or choose not to show it to others.

- Raising the volume because you're not getting what you want.

- Crying because you're not getting what you want.

- Telling lies for any reason. 

- Acting like a non-conformist only because you are failing to be the more conventional person you'd even prefer to be.

- Any self appointed Gatekeeping when you're not a mod. 

- Preaching about causes you make no efforts to further. 

- Refusing to admit that something you thought you wanted isn't actually what you thought it would be. 

I won't say that I myself have been guilty of all of these, but I will say that I've been guilty of most of them. And speaking from plenty of experience, I can tell you, they're getting you nowhere fast. You may win 50 arguments in a row with these behaviors. One day, you might find that you need money fast and you don't have it. When that happens, try each and every one of these above listed behaviors and watch them do nothing to improve your circumstances. 

Whereas, if you cultivate your relationships with non-toxic behaviors, people might do all kinds of things to help you, beyond what you'd expect they would.

Before I rant, I want to respect anyone here. I refuse to answer this question. We have all made mistakes in our lives and some people view the world in different ways. It is hypocritical to call someone out when we have all made the same mistakes. I will not just call any attitude "immature" because I do not know the person's background. Everybody was raised, treated, and grew up in different ways. That's why friends are so important, sometimes they are our family. MLP says enough about friendship and what it truly is, so I will spare your time. This is already longer than it should be.

Risk taking, even when you know the risk is not necessary to take. I can understand why people would enjoy a challenge, however if it goes against common sense and could hurt somebody else, that to me, is immature behaviour.

I don't think immaturity always has to be inherently bad (a lot of people would consider watching cartoons immature, after all), but some negative immature traits are

- Spreading lies/gossip about unimportant things. Who cares if someone buys their clothes from Walmart or if they aren't following someone on social media? A lot of times it's just needlessly malicious about things that don't hurt anyone.

- Being rude to someone about their style. I genuinely don't understand why people would ever judge someone over being goth/preppy/scene/"basic". I have styles that I like and dislike, but I'm never going to be mean to someone based solely on their aesthetic or call them ugly because of it.

- Taking out anger on undeserving people. I understand feeling upset and having little patience because of it, but it's extremely important to be able to say "Hey, I'm feeling overwhelmed/angry right now, is it okay if I have some alone time?". A lot of people just don't do that and as a result blow up at people who didn't do anything wrong. It's definitely a sign of emotional immaturity and a lack of emotional regulation. It's okay to struggle with these things, but it's not okay to hurt others because of it.
