What's Your Emotional Age?
Behavior:
There are countless reasons why people may act or feel a certain
age at any given point in their lives. Feeling a certain age is not a
static thing, nor is it something that always follows a
pre-determined pattern. Some people act older when they are
children then have a second childhood in their retirement years.
Others act like children until they become parents and then seem
to click into a different mode. It can be helpful and insightful to
learn which stage you're at right now, and why.
Nobody fits neatly into a given category. There are several components in
your emotional age: behavior, emotion, and responsibility. In the area of
behavior, you seem to fall very clearly into the "mature" category. There is
no doubt that others can rely on you and that your behavior is probably
consistent and dependable. This is great, but it probably also means that
you don't allow yourself to have too much fun or act "outside the box."
Most of your actions might be dictated by how they are going to affect
other people. Basically, you might want to lighten up a little. Try to focus
more on your own feelings. And, most of all -- have a little fun!

Emotions:
In the realm of emotions, you seem to fall into the "adolescent"
category. This means that you sometimes express your emotions
without thinking about the effect they have on other people. It can
also mean that you are extremely self-conscious and worried
about what other people think of you. Adolescents are notorious
for being influenced by peer pressure and societal standards.
Adolescents may also often be moody and withdrawn and have a
hard time making emotional commitments, but they can also
display great creativity. They feel strongly about many different
things in their lives. Your passion for life probably comes through
in your emotional reactions.
Responsibility:
When it comes to the level of responsibility you assume, you fall
into the "adolescent" category. This means that you might not be
someone who is considered dependable, except perhaps in a
crisis. Adolescents typically have little concern for the
consequences of their own actions and avoid most commitments.
This tendency is not conducive to developing trusting and enduring
relationships.
