I think that, because of his goofy personality and massive ego, people only see Gojo as a toddler-brain who doesn't take anything seriously. I feel like this is an instance of reducing a character to two or three personality traits and ignoring all the rest. Because to me, Gojo is one of the most responsible and sweet characters in the entire manga, and despite what he might say, it comes naturally to him.


I always believed Gojo's words completely contradict his actions. He says he's not built for being a teacher, but he's incredible with his kids. He finds creative ways to teach them (like Yuji's movies, or teaching Yuta about curse-imbuing), he takes them on field trips and gives them pratical lessons (the whole Jogo fight scene) tries to get them all to be friends and spoils them all the time, specially with food.


Not to mention how he keeps adopting children despite claiming he doesn't like them. He was 18 when he adopted Megumi and Tsumiki - two children he didn't know, one of which looked exactly like the guy who almost killed him. And considering how Megumi turned out, I think he did a great job of raising them. And then there's all his students, specially the ones he saved from death, like Yuta and Yuji. He acts like a total dad to them, even if most of them are teenagers who cringe at his silly goofiness.


Honestly, we see it in his life all the way in the flashback arc. He allegedly looked down on "weak normal humans", and said he didn't "be a babysitter" to the star plasma vessel girl, but spent the entire mission making sure she'd have the best last week she possibly could, even taking her on fun trips to the beach. Him and Geto were ready to risk their lives and turn against their mission for her, if she were to refuse the joining.


And then there's the fact he, as the strongest sorcerer of all time, who literally altered the balance of the world when he was born, could probabbly bend everyone to his will. And he chose kindness. He chose to wield his power exclusively to make the world a better place, a safer place, specially for children. And he chose to do it the right way, by getting to know the new generation of sorcerers and raising them to uproot the system at it's base, instead of killing everyone in power but ignoring how their society works. Tell me how this doesn't scream maturity to you?


I think at the end of the day, his ego and self-importance are the real front. He acts like he's too good for the little people but they're the ones he chooses, again and again, to spend all his time with. Ever since he was a child, he was already being praised for his supreme powers, through high expectations that only grew as he got older. He probabbly adapted his attitude to fit into it, and be the person everyone expected him to be. But at his core, his attitude paints a different picture.


Also, I actually just realized this recently after rewatching JJK that Gojo got super attached to Yuji really quickly. Gojo not only got very angry on his behalf but went out of his way to ask Nanami for help in caring for Yuji when he's supposed to be the strongest sorcerer. And at that time, Gojo made it clear to Nanami that he didn't ask him to do so due to Yuji's potential as a vessel. Gojo asked Nanami for this favor as an adult who wants to see the growth of a young man. Gojo was very precise in telling Nanami that he was looking not at Sukuna and Yuji's power, but at Yuji himself as not only an individual, but a child that needed nurturing and care. Before Yuji's death, Gojo had already even made preparations to have Yuta take care of Yuji cause he knew something might happen to him- even more development is that despite what Gojo says about himself, he's aware of his own flaws. What he appears to be on the outside is nothing like what he truly feels on the inside. He doesn't delude himself into narcissistic behavior that makes him unable to ask for help. He asks for help willingly and of his own accord- Yuta couldn't even fathom how the strongest sorcerer would face a problem he couldn't solve on his own, but Gojo does. Gojo is smart enough to know he needs to rely on others to move forward, and relying on someone means putting a certain amount of trust there. Gojo puts just as much faith in other people as he does himself, and the interesting part is that while it's more admirable to go out of your way to protect someone else, Gojo never brags about that. He only "brags" about things that will annoy the other person, but really he is only saying a commonly known "truth" in order to rile people up. It may sound like bragging- which it sort of is- but Gojo saying he's the strongest is not a lie. Him saying "I alone am the honoured one" is not necessarily a lie either. People don't call him the Strongest for nothing.


In fact, even more interestingly enough, besides Gojo, who includes Geto when people talk about the "strongest?" Despite being the definite "strongest," Gojo is the one who constantly says "We are the Strongest," not the other way around. He's also mature enough to recognize and point out other people's strengths, such as Mei Mei's, saying she is too strong to cry.
