Emotional Maturity & Becoming The Five People You Surround Yourself With

In this series, I will delve into the myriad ways emotional maturity influences communication, conflict resolution, and overall relational dynamics. 

Emotional maturity is a person's ability to manage their emotions and life stressors in a healthy and age appropriate manner. Emotional maturity plays an important role in relationships, as it helps us resolve conflicts and enter into satisfying and secure relationships.

Age gives us a framework, a rough estimate of the stages of life. But it's our experiences, our emotional intelligence, our willingness to take responsibility, and our commitment to self-improvement that truly define our maturity.

You are the sum of the 5 ppl you surround yourself with.  So be discerning about the company you keep and from whom you take advice from.  

Emotional immaturity is a person's inability to regulate their emotions in an age-appropriate manner. People who display emotional immaturity may overreact to situations or have trouble controlling their emotions. People have different capacities for emotional maturity. 

If you surround yourself continuously with yes, sir, people, and they are not allowed to challenge you ( or don’t have the capacity to challenge you), it is likely that you will develop a sense of entitlement and have a skewed sense of reality. This can lead to irrational or dysfunctional outcomes, as dissenting opinions are suppressed and members feel pressure or want to keep an even keel for their own self serving interests  to agree with the dominant viewpoint.

By examining case studies, and real-life anecdotes, we will illuminate how an individual's emotional landscape can shape their relationships with family, friends, and romantic partners. You become the sum of the five ppl you surround yourself with.  I hope to equip my listeners with valuable insights and practical strategies to enhance their emotional intelligence and, in turn, cultivate more meaningful and harmonious relationships.
