What are the signs of emotional immaturity?
It is a fact that we all have bad days, weeks, and months in our lives. It is our nature to sometimes get out of our control and do things out of our emotions. Therefore, to help you understand your emotional maturity level, let me introduce you to the signs of emotional immaturity.
1. Emotional Volatility – it is where you feel like you are going to lose control. Do you throw temper tantrums often? Do you take yourself too seriously? Are you often moody? If so, you are facing emotional volatility.
2. Unhealthy Dependence – Obviously, a person can develop unhealthy dependence on other people if he is too reliant on others for things he can't do for himself. In a nutshell, he needs someone to be around all the time.
3. People-Pleasing - Emotionally immature people tend to please the people around them in exchange for attention and gratification.
4. Severe Self-Centeredness –self-centered individuals can be tremendously competitive, and overly demanding. They usually don't take responsibility for anything. They talk more than listen.
It's normal to see these behaviors in children. However, it becomes hard to be patient with these behaviors when an adult does them. That's why we have to accept the fact that emotional maturity doesn't necessarily reflect someone's chronological age.
Immaturity Quotes
“A mature person is one who is does not think only in absolutes, who is able to be objective even when deeply stirred emotionally, who has learned that there is both good and bad in all people and all things, and who walks humbly and deals charitably ~ Eleanor Roosevelt”
“If your gonna screw up, do it while you're young. Older you get, the harder it is to bounce back.” ~ Winston Groom
“Immaturity is the incapacity to use one's intelligence without the guidance of another.” ~ Immanuel Kant

waht do you suggest someone can do to ovecome emotional immaturity ?
thank you
Basically, people behave in an emotionally immature manner when they are in situations which they don't fully understand, so their reactions will not be acceptable behaviour amongst their circle of friends, family members or community. You can only overcome it by increasing your knowledge of life in general, learn from your mistakes and others.
