Today I want to talk about people who failed to mature emotionally.

Let’s understand the concept of infantility , and then understand its causes .

Of course, it’s wonderful when an adult can perceive the world as joyfully and openly as a child. But it’s another matter when an adult doesn’t know how :

• make decisions, but instead shifts them to others (parents, spouses, colleagues and even their children);
• manage emotions , but instead keeps them inside, hiding them from others, or reacts excessively intensely;
• regulate behavior , instead acts impulsively, on emotions, without taking into account one’s real interests or the feelings of other people.

Due to emotional immaturity, a person loses the opportunity to build a harmonious family based on partnerships, achieve his goals socially and professionally, and cannot realize himself in accordance with the goals of his age and his dreams.
