Emotional immaturity

Čeština

Emotional immaturity in a relationship shows up as an inability to work through conflict, take responsibility for one's own mistakes, or sit with discomfort without lashing out or withdrawing. It isn't tied to age.

Typical signs include blaming the other person for your own feelings, never managing to apologize without a "but," and handling disagreements with silence instead of conversation.
