Atiyeh’s Reviews > Disentangling from Emotionally Immature People: Avoid Emotional Traps, Stand Up for Your Self, and Transform Your Relationships as an Adult Child of Emotionally Immature Parents > Status Update

Overall, adequately emotionally mature people have empathy for others, self-reflect, enjoy getting emotionally close to other people, and try to be objective about themselves and others.

Adequately emotionally mature parents are clear on their own values and reasoning, but they treat differing viewpoints respectfully. They consider others’ feelings but protect their own well-being too. They reflect on their own behavior and take responsibility for their mistakes.

Sufficiently emotionally mature parents have developed enough individuality and self-awareness of their own that they grasp the truth that their children and other people have minds and feelings of their own. They see people as whole, dynamic individuals.

you realize that it’s not just your basic needs that are important, but your preferences as well.
