What’s the single biggest giveaway that someone lacks emotional maturity — especially when the pressure’s on?
In this episode, Dr. Les Carter, psychologist, best-selling author, and expert on narcissism and emotional health, reveals the #1 sign of low emotional maturity during conflict. We dive into how this pattern plays out in everyday disagreements, why it derails problem-solving, and what you can do to protect your own emotional space when dealing with it.
You’ll learn:
- The clearest sign of emotional immaturity — and why it instantly escalates tension
- How emotionally immature people use defensiveness and blame-shifting to avoid responsibility
- Why maturity is measured less by age or intelligence and more by emotional steadiness
- Practical strategies to keep your composure and avoid getting pulled into reactive cycles
Whether you’re navigating conflict with a partner, family member, or coworker, this conversation will help you spot the signs early and respond in a way that keeps you grounded and in control.
