By Christopher Jackson


There are certain stages in life that everyone goes through. One moves from a child to a teenager. They will grow up and mature into an adult and over time, they will become elderly. There are physical signs to say that one has reached these stages. However, there is also emotional growth in adults which makes it difficult to determine how old a person is.

The trauma you have been through as a child will lead to a lot of issues in your adult life. You will suffer emotionally, and it becomes difficult to function when you have been severely affected. You may have trouble making choices or coping with relationships. It can cause a lot of frustration in one's life. One may develop certain psychological disorders.

A lot of people become stuck because they are still caught up in this web. They have not grown up in a happy, healthy environment. They were exposed to a lot of abuse. The result of this being, that they are anxious, fearful and on the edge. They are often not able to cope in an intimate relationship. An adult like this may seem as if they are still in the adolescent stage.

It can take a long time for someone to get to the point where they feel that they are fully focused and balanced. It may mean that they have to talk to a professional person. It often means that you have to move in baby steps, especially when you have been through a traumatic experience in your life.

When looking at a person who is emotionally immature, you may see them to be the party animal. They will be out every night and this will be the cycle. Some people will admire this wondering how they are able to keep it up. However, deep down, the person who is out partying finds that this is the only way in dealing with their emotions. They continue to live like an adolescent because they don't want to face their fears.

Someone who has been abused as a child, for example often has not talked about this. They would be feeling a lot of guilt and shame for many years. They may be feeling stuck at some point in their lives, and people close to them may notice that they get into a habit of becoming depressed, moody, angry or abusive. Drinking is often the cause of someone who is emotionally immature.

It is not easy for someone who is emotionally immature to face up to their responsibilities. This is why they need guidance. It can complicate their life daily because there are obviously decisions that you have to make every day of your life. Even having a discussion on what to cook can lead into an abusive argument for someone who is challenged like this.

In some cases, it can take a long time to work through all of these emotions. It may include feelings like fear, rage, shame and guilt. A lot of people have to talk to someone and face up to their fears for a number of years before they come to terms with what they are going through. However, this is something that must be done in order to know where you are going next.
