Emotional immaturity: most basic features




A few weeks ago, one friend of mine asked to me about the most important signs that would help us to discover immaturity in a person. I will summarize here some of them.

Emotional immaturity implies an ingenuous and intolerant perspective with regard to certain situations of life. Especially, towards what is a challenge, which is uncomfortable and what is negative. Those who have not developed an adequate degree of maturity have difficulties with suffering, frustration and uncertainty. They show a very poor self-control and self-discipline.

People that are not strong toward suffering will give up easily when there are difficulties, and will do very little to solve their own problems. They are accustomed that someone else will do what they need, so they do not develop their own skills to take care of themselves. As they are always seeking for pleasure, but they do not tolerate what it may be unpleasant, they have a big risk of addiction.

People that have a low tolerance to frustration, usually think that life goes around them. They are egocentric and feel very bad when things do not develop as they would like. They seem to be little children that do not understand the fact that we may lose, sometimes; and that we cannot do anything to change that. All we can do is to accept what has happened in order to continue with our lives. It is difficult for them to realize that they are not able to control the rest of the people.

Other manifestation of immaturity it is to have an illusion of permanence. Believing they will always have the person who gives them all what they need, close to them, the one who solves their problems and save them from their own fears. It is very difficult to let go people that are important for them. They do not accept the changes that become in a relationship, so they rigidly want things as they were. And, that is impossible. Everything is continuously changing, the same that happens with all of us.
