Medicine has been turned upside down since COVID-19. That's a field that, because it is on the front line, will probably take substantially longer to return to fully normal operations again. She's probably trying to make sure you get the urgency that you need.
But at the same time, overly controlling parents can be very frustrating.
You should be able to be your own person without her input, or at the very least have her on standby for when you do need her to take the reigns.
But other than that she should just let you be.
To be there for guidance and when you need her help, but to let you be otherwise.
You are not immature for not having the tools or skills by a certain age just because other people develop those tools or skills at that age. That has no bearing on your maturity, other than your direct and immediate influence with it. Driving a car is a great example of this, actually. Dozens of people or more don't learn to drive until they are well into their 20s, some not until their 30s. That does not make them immature for not being able to drive when everyone else learned to drive in their late teens, it makes them lack the knowledge to drive and the experience of driving, but it does not have a reflection on maturity. It effects comprehension of those tools and skills, that is all. You cannot understand what you do not yet understand. If you want to though, you can choose to learn those things for yourself. "I" have no college degree, for example. Most of the things that I know I either learned from experiencing them, or from teaching myself willingly.
