I'm 27 and I still do not feel emotionally or mentally matured into adulthood how can I rectify this?

Answer 1

maturity is a matter of opinion. do u still live in your parent's basement? Do you live off of them? Do you NOT work? Are you still in HS? -_- if you answered no to these, you're probab;y mature enough.

Answer 2

Maturity often comes from experience, but more slowly for some than for others.

I do that also...emotionally and mentally compare my maturity to other adults --and also conclude that "I missed something along the way that I was supposed to learn" or am somehow "stuck" in the emotions and mindset I had when I was young (I am pushing 50!--but feel like 22ish inside).

I've thought that perhaps it had to do with the self-image and self-confidence (or lack thereof) that I developed in my teen and college years?
Or perhaps, I thought, because I have a very emotionally sensitive nature & don't feel comfortable dealing with or handling strong emotions of others?
Or perhaps it's because our inner souls do not record time. They merely record growth.

Whatever the reason, don't worry or try to "fix" the way you are. That's just the way some of us are wired. It did not interfere with my eventually getting married, having and raising a child, working & taking care of household stuff. And it won't interfere with your future, either.

Answer 3

You may never. I think most of us still feel like kids in a way. The only other thing to do is gain experience and learn whatever you can, take some reasonable risks, go places you've never been, try something new, and interact with the world around you.
With expanded responsibilities, you should gain some of this maturity, too. Likely, you will continue to not feel your actual age....i.e. maybe right now you feel 18, but in five more years you will then feel 22. It will progress as your age does.

Answer 4

Wait until you're 30. What's the hurry? Seriously, I felt the same way when I was your age and I still do! I like playing with little kids and talking with young people. Experience will get you there. You actually sound a lot more mature than you think you are. At least you are aware of it. Don't worry. Enjoy the child-like life you are leading. It's much more fun!

Answer 5

Don't worry This is an Astrological issue that all of us are faced with. Find out what sign your Saturn is in,(mine Pisces:Water/Mutable) it will tell you how you need to mature based on the element & quality of your zodiac sign,you'll get some clues to your natual progression.

Mean while read this.....
The Saturn Return is an astrological phenomenon that occurs in a person's life at approximately 27–30 years of age and again around the age of 58–60, with the third and usually final occurrence around 86-88. The planet Saturn takes approximately 29.5 years to orbit the Sun; when it returns to the exact degree along the ecliptic it occupied at the time of a person's birth this is referred to as their "Saturn Return".

Saturn is symbolically/astrologically associated with time, challenge, fear, doubt, confusion, difficulty, seriousness, heaviness, and hard lessons, among other more positive things such as structure, significance, accomplishment, reflection, power, prestige, maturity, and order – this is why astrologers believe that the thirtieth birthday is such a major rite of passage and is considered by many astrologers to mark the "true beginning" of adulthood, self-evaluation, independence, responsibility, ambition, and full maturation.

Answer 6

We all mature at different stages. There is nothing we can do about that. You'll get there. The only suggestion I have is to go out and get some culture. Go to a museum, join a book club..... just experience life a little.

Answer 7

for indian guys they are not mature until they are perhaps 35-45 years old, have a good job, good savings. But even then there is no guarantee guys are ever mature mentally and emotionally, men just like to be in control, like to be admired and also like having sex in general.

Answer 8

I think maturing is a process and it happens over time and depends on the experiences you've had so far. Don't feel bad about it, the older you get, the more comfortable and secure you become with yourself. Hang in there...it will happen, just give it a little more time.

Answer 9

well so what if you arent emotionally or mentally mature. no one on the planet is expecting you to be any other way. as far as i am, i dont care whether you are mature or not, as long as i have a good time i dont care whether someones mature or not. if you want to be so called "mature" hang out with old people, so you are become old real quickly and mature.

Answer 10

Some people mature at 40. It depends on the person so just take your time.
