Is he/she a heavy drinker? Alcoholics will stay at the same emotional level they started drinking at.
My dad started drinking at age 16 and he has handled all his problems as if he were a 16 year old until he saw a psychologist and went through all the emotions and situations he had suppressed with drinking.
do you mean she goes all "gosh you're so annoying!" or just generally is depressed and over-emotional?
Be more specific...do you mean you (or whoever the person in question is) never grew up emotionally? It's normal to an extent, but usually a sign of some kind of mental or emotional disorder.
Both from personal experience (my dad has an IQ of 160) and other people telling me this, it seems that eccentricities are common among people with high intelligence.
I dated a guy who was 40 when i was 24, and he was very emotionally immature. He'd have fits of jealousy and anger over minor things, and then couldn't talk through our problems, and it was too much to handle. He was dyslexic and had adult ADD and he vaguely hinted at having other "mental obstacles" but never elaborated, so all that probably contributed to his immaturity.
My mom is in her 70's and yet she has never grown up emotionally. She is like a spoilt nasty bitch of 13 with no control over her hateful mouth or temper and of course, she is always right with her silly ill-thought out logic.
There is more than one emotion involved when we consider adults - not just the bottling up of sadness or tears. We'd all rather she could manage to hold in that particular emotion!
I think you should elaborate more. I mean, emotions like a teenager?
What would emotions of a teenager be like? Whats that supposed to mean? Emotional immaturity like how? Do you have problems letting go of things/people? Do you have problems engaging in sexual intercourse? How do you approach certain situations?
We all have emotions. Children, teens, and adults. You could be emotionally immature, and that usually depends on how you act in certain situations, sometimes how you approach love, and relationships. Thats why I wish you could elaborate. But I also think that half the time, most adults spend their time hiding the child thats within them. The child in all of us has really never left. But you get to a point in your life when 'life' itself forces you to move on, and take on responsiblities and things that you're not faced with as a child/teen. Don't wonder or worry about what your emotions are like right now. You could be one of the few adults who's actually showing the truth.
It reminds me of my father. I haven't seen the man cry once in my entire life. Not even when my grandmother(his mother) past away. But I know he felt something. He was just hiding. He probably waited to do it when no one was around. His father past away when he was young, and he had a bit of a rough life as a child, yet he doesn't let anyone see that it did/does bother him. Thats an emotional problem. Holding your emotions in is a problem.
