Post your emotional age

Post Reply New Topic

about 17, i seem to be stuck in time...

things like my sister buying a house not too long ago made me really realise it, because i was like "wow thats a very grown up thing to do....i have no idea how to get to that point"

Sometimes I feel in my 70s or 80s..just weary and dramatic,sometimes like a 15 year old,overexcited yet also alternating on shy when expressing my feelings.

I'm 16 but many adults say I'm extremely mature; I would I'm 25 emotionally. However, when I'm around my brother, I'm 9 emotionally. xD

Is there a test? Because my imagination isn't good enough to guess. Wait... maybe a lack of imagination implies I've reached "Emotional adulthood". So, let's go with somewhere north of 20.

My expressive age is probably somewhere close to 12, while my intellectual age might be close to 30.

i was born 21 years ago and my emotional age is i feel in my 20's

I'm 47 and in some respects I think my emotional age is about 12. I don't play with toys or do things that children do, though I do daydream and make up stories in my head. The reason I think I have the emotional age of a 12 year old is that I get very easily wounded and emotionally distraught whenever people do underhanded and mean things to me, and sometimes when they do them to others as well. In many respects I am very mature and age-appropriate in how I think and feel, but when something upsetting happens I tend to just fall apart.

My emotional age tends to fluctuate...for one thing, I love stuffed animals and My Little Ponies, toy Cars, t - shirts with characters on them (I currently have shirts with Mater, Minnie Mouse and Pooh on them), but on the other hand, I live in the dorms at my University and deal with issues that come up there with very little outside assistance, and can solve my own problems for the most part.

On the other hand, I still don't drive, and I still enjoy watching the cartoons I enjoyed as a kid...like DragonTales and The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh...but in contrast with this, my tastes in animated films are very refined - I prefer films by Pixar and animators such as Don Bluth and movies like Watership Down, Rock and Rule, anything from Disney's Renaissance period like The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Tarzan, Mulan, etc. You know, movies that aren't afraid to get a little edgy. I have no patience for cheap, flashy stuff that's crappily animated and shamelessly panders to child audiences. I like Don Bluth's motto that "kids can handle anything in a movie as long as there's a happy ending."

My answer? I honestly don't know what my emotional age is...it seems to keep going up and down according the situation, if that makes any sense. lol

Interesting question...

I haven't thought about it in that way, but have noticed my emotions seems to function differently from most people. It seems to depend on the type of situation. In the beginning it was very confusing but over time I think I see patterns emerging... in that it is consistantly confusing.

Biological Age: 54

Emotional response to:
- interpersonnal conflicts - varies wildly from very unaffected and distant to a strong depression reaction.
- external conflicts - again.... varies from being unusally calm to being the most bug-eyed crazed.
- personal loss, or loss of someone (or something I know) - ...varies from strangely unaffected to close to crying because I accidentally stepped on a poor ant.

I don't know how to put an age on that really

I nearly always feel emotionally younger than my biological age, which is 44. Probably because I haven't done a lot of the things that most people my age did years ago, such as getting married. The age I feel varies, between 20 and about 35.

Good question. Many tell me I'm very mature for my age (i.e. closer to someone that's 40) based on my interests in starting a family and lack of desire to party or "have fun". However, it's clear that my conversations can be at the level of young testosterone filled men, not to mention by immature rants against women. So, I will say my emotional age is 23-24 even though my biological age is 29.
