A simple way to determine if a person's emotions are mature is to see if they can distinguish between feedback and attack. An immature person has a very strong defensive instinct; even gentle criticism makes them feel like you're targeting and attacking them. The more honest and to the point you are, the more they become agitated and resistant. They are not responding to what you are saying, but reacting to the discomfort and shame of exposing their true self.
