Imbes kay nagkatiguyang na… Physical
age can be counted by number of birthdays. Psychological or emotional age, by
contrast, becomes evident in emotional reactions and habits.
Childish
behavior is usually annoying to many people and thus unattractive because if a
person is childish, he/she is self-centered and may not be able to understand
another person’s perspective and condition (Surbhi, 2019).
Why
do these people have children trapped in adults’ bodies?
Joyce
Marter, LCPC (2021) explains that emotional immaturity can be the result of
insecure attachments during early life experiences, trauma, untreated addiction
or mental health problems, and/or lack of deeper introspection or work on
oneself. It can manifest as self-centeredness, narcissism, and poor management
of conflict.
That
is why people often consider depression and anxiety as the alarming mental
health conditions not realizing that there are more pressing problems hounding
families and organizations because of such mental conditions.
Hindered
by childhoods that are traumatic, neglectful, or otherwise hurtful and
lackluster, some people develop these traits out of necessity, observance, or a
simple lack of options. Emotional immaturity can manifest in coping mechanisms
and can be linked to the deepest parts of our experiences.
A
lot of episodes of being hurt are caused by these people. It can be unfair
since we are not here in this world to get hurt. Intentional or not, these
immature persons must also realize the havoc they have wreaked on people’s
lives.
But
then, narcissists are frequently unwilling to change because regaining
vulnerability and opening up means losing control.
