00:02 Hey there, Psych2Goers, welcome back to another video.
00:09 Thank you so much for all of the love and support
00:11 that you've given us.
00:12 We love and support you too.
00:14 Psych2Go's mission is to make content on mental health
00:17 more accessible to everyone.
00:19 We welcome you to another thought-provoking trip
00:22 down psychology lane.
00:24 Bon voyage.
00:25 Are you in a relationship with someone
00:28 who might be immature?
00:30 In order for two people to be able to have a strong
00:33 and healthy relationship, there needs to be intimacy,
00:36 honesty, trust, respect, loyalty, dedication,
00:41 and most of all, maturity.
00:44 The level of maturity that partners show in a relationship
00:47 can make or break it.
00:49 Now, before we go on and list all the signs
00:51 of an immature partner, we'd like to mention
00:54 that this is meant for educational purposes only
00:56 and not at all intended to attack or criticize anyone
00:59 who may be displaying these signs.
01:01 With that said, here are seven telltale signs
01:04 that someone may be too immature for you.
01:07 One, they act on their emotions.
01:09 Do they have a bad habit of letting their feelings
01:12 be the main input to a decision?
01:14 Being with someone who often lets their feelings
01:16 cloud their judgment and turn them cruel
01:18 in the heat of a moment can be incredibly stressful
01:21 and even abusive when things get out of hand.
01:24 They're prone to insulting you, screaming at you,
01:26 and sometimes even throwing things at you
01:28 when their emotions get out of control.
01:30 Two, they take everything personally.
01:34 Do you feel like you're walking on eggshells around them
01:37 or are you worried that they'll lash out on you
01:39 if you say something wrong?
01:41 If so, it's another sign that you may be dating someone
01:44 too immature for you.
01:45 Such people lack the maturity to understand
01:48 that not everything is about them.
01:50 They're so narrow-minded and sensitive to criticism
01:52 that they can't stand to be corrected.
01:55 You can't communicate openly to them
01:56 about their flaws and weaknesses
01:58 because they're so defensive of their ego,
02:00 which brings us to our next point.
02:02 Three, they lack self-awareness.
02:05 Self-awareness is one of the most important elements
02:07 of emotional maturity because it's what allows us
02:10 to recognize our flaws and take responsibility
02:12 for our mistakes.
02:14 So if you're dating someone who lacks self-awareness,
02:17 they're going to have a hard time
02:18 understanding your perspective
02:20 and hearing you out in an argument
02:21 because they're so incapable of seeing their own faults
02:24 or others' points of view.
02:25 Their denial of their own failings as a person
02:28 makes them more prideful, stubborn, hard-headed,
02:31 and inconsiderate towards others.
02:34 Four, they blame other people for their problems.
02:38 Are they apt at playing the blame game?
02:40 Do they refuse to own up to their mistakes?
02:43 Immature people don't know how to hold themselves
02:45 accountable, so they blame others for their problems
02:47 and simply make themselves out to be the victim
02:49 in all of it.
02:50 They victimize themselves as a way to avoid responsibility
02:54 and convince themselves that everyone but them
02:56 is always to blame.
02:58 They spend all their time whining
02:59 about the situation they're in,
03:01 but don't do anything to help themselves get out of it.
03:03 Instead, they simply point their finger at someone,
03:06 say it's their fault,
03:07 and demand other people clean up their mess for them.
03:10 Five, they always have to have their way.
03:14 Entitled, demanding, rigid, and overbearing.
03:18 Do those words describe your partner?
03:20 If so, then they might not have the maturity
03:22 to be in a healthy relationship right now.
03:25 People who always wanna have their way
03:27 tend to be controlling and manipulative.
03:30 At first, they may be kind, charming,
03:32 and pleasant to be around,
03:33 but the moment you disagree with them
03:35 or refuse to do as they say,
03:37 they'll get into a big argument with you about it
03:39 and won't stop until you give in.
03:41 They don't wanna listen.
03:43 They're not willing to compromise.
03:45 And they always wanna be the one
03:46 taking charge in your relationship.
03:49 Six, they act passive aggressive.
03:52 Does your partner give you the silent treatment
03:54 without ever telling you what it was you did wrong?
03:56 It certainly goes without saying
03:58 that engaging in passive aggressive behaviors
04:01 and playing mind games with your significant other
04:03 is not something a mature person would do.
04:05 But instead of being honest with you about their feelings
04:08 and communicating them openly,
04:09 your partner acts out by avoiding you, ignoring you,
04:13 making sly-handed remarks at you,
04:15 and treating you with thinly veiled hostility.
04:17 They deny that anything's wrong,
04:19 when it's clearly not true,
04:20 because they're not mature enough to simply talk to you
04:23 about what's bothering them.
04:25 And seven, they're overly possessive.
04:28 Do they get upset when you spend time with others?
04:30 Do they often disrespect your personal boundaries?
04:33 Immature partners may be clingy, possessive,
04:36 and unreasonably jealous.
04:37 They don't want you spending too much time with anyone else
04:40 because they want you all to themselves.
04:42 All your hobbies, interests, and personal goals
04:45 have even fallen to the wayside
04:46 after you started dating them.
04:48 Because in their eyes,
04:49 making them your only priority
04:51 is the only way you can prove that you truly love them.
04:54 So is your current partner
04:56 showing these very same signs of immaturity?
04:58 Or are you personally guilty
05:00 of doing these things we've mentioned here?
05:02 If so, it's okay to admit
05:04 that you're still learning how to be more mature.
05:06 Emotional maturity takes time,
05:08 and it's something a lot of people
05:10 struggle with throughout their lives.
05:11 But the fact that you're willing to admit
05:13 that you still have room to grow shows progress.
05:16 It shows that you're willing to open up to your mistakes
05:19 and change for the better.
