hey psyched goers welcome back to
another site to go video have you ever
suspected that maybe your parents are
emotionally immature maturity is more
than a matter of age it's about
understanding that while you may not be
able to control every situation and its
outcome you can control your attitude
and the way you deal with it
having emotionally immature parents can
sometimes be harmful especially to your
mental health before we begin we'd like
to mention that this video is created
for educational purposes only and it is
not intended to attack or criticize
parents with that said here are seven
signs your parents may be emotionally
immature number one they're insensitive
to your feelings your parents refuse to
put effort into understanding you and
seeing things from your point of view
instead of being considerate and
empathetic your parents don't seem to
care about your feelings at all they
don't think about how their words or
actions might affect you or how it might
make you feel they expect you to be
grateful and go along with everything
they want because they say it's for your
own good
number two they take their problems out
on you do you find yourself walking on
eggshells around your parents when
they've had a bad day instead of being
calm rational and level-headed your
parents are defensive easily flustered
and they lose their temper a lot they
don't know how to keep their feelings in
check so they take their anger and
frustration out on you parents who are
emotionally mature know how to control
their feelings rather than letting their
feelings control them 3 they demand too
much from you dear parents make you feel
like nothing you do will ever be enough
for them they said impossible goals for
you and then make you feel guilty for
failing to live up to their
unrealistically high expectations
parents who are emotionally mature on
the other hand understand that it's the
effort and not the outcome that matters
you don't need to be the smartest most
athletic or most accomplished to make
them proud number four they're quick to
point fingers
your parents blame you for everything a
mark of emotional maturity is when you
learn to hold you
accountable and to take responsibility
for your actions
so if your parents always put the blame
on others when things go wrong it's a
sign that they may be emotionally
immature you'll never hear them say it's
my fault or I know I made a mistake
because in their eyes they can do no
wrong number five they're not aware of
their own flaws do your parents think
they're always right and that you should
always listen to them they may be
judgmental closed-minded and unaware of
their own shortcomings those who are
emotionally immature fail to see it that
they could be wrong sometimes or that
they might not know everything because
of this they instill a lot of self-doubt
in feelings of dependency in their
children making them think that speaking
up or standing up for themselves is
wrong number six there are two
controlling of you are your parents
rigid stubborn and overbearing they have
their own values and ideals that they
expect you to live by they don't allow
you to disagree with their choices or
question their judgment because of this
your self-esteem becomes dependent on
their approval of you and you feel the
need to hide certain aspects of yourself
and fear that they might reject you and
number seven they have low stress
tolerance another mark of emotional
maturity is a person's willingness to be
flexible and to adapt to their situation
but if your parents have low stress
tolerance they're likely to be rigid and
overbearing they don't cope well when
their plans fall apart when things don't
go the way they expected it's hard for
them to accept when you want something
for yourself that's different from what
they want for you
