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, feelings, and responsibility.
In the area of behavior, you seem to fall into the “adult” category. Adults tend to be efficient and responsible.
You are probably a “doer” whom others consider reliable, stable, and consistent. People feel they can depend on you.
Of course, if others rely too much on you, it can be a burden.
You seem, however, to be someone who strikes a healthy balance between fulfilling others’ needs and taking care of your own.
Just be aware that if you feel overwhelmed by the pressures put on you, you should take some time out for yourself.
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Adolescents may also often be moody and withdrawn and have a hard time making emotional commitments, but they can also display great creativity.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, for yourself or others, you fall into the “adult” category. This means that you are probably someone who can be relied on to come through in any situation.
People around you likely consider you dependable and strong. Don’t let your dominant care-taking side force you to neglect your own needs. Keep a healthy balance and continue to take care of yourself too.
