Ep 83: Emotional Immaturity in Adults


Listen Later

In this episode, Dr. Dodd “walks around” the subject of emotional immaturity. He provides guidance, help, and practical suggestions on how to change from being immature or how to navigate a relationship with the emotionally immature.  

He states, “The emotionally immature individual will find it hard to effectively convey or process their emotions… often appearing/presenting as being very selfish, self-centered, or distant. They often get defensive and will resort to blaming anyone/everyone but themselves…due to them rarely thinking that anything is their fault. They lack many of the emotional and social skills…leading to difficulty in relating to other adults. Their reactions are more what you might expect to see from a child…than out of an adult. The emotionally immature tend to overdramatize situations. They usually focus just on themselves. Being emotionally immature brings absolute havoc into relationships, homes, and communities.”
