So, how does emotional immaturity show up in adulthood? Nobody is 100 percent emotionally mature. There is no such thing as “perfect” emotional maturity. However, you might struggle with it if you experience or show the following:

  • Blaming others for your feelings
  • Lashing out through damaging words or actions when angry
  • Struggling to regulate your emotions
  • Struggling to identify the emotional needs of others
  • Feeling that your emotions rule your life
  • Difficulty feeling close to others
