Majority of women view emotional maturity as being able to express emotions and they think they're more emotionally mature than men, but in reality emotional maturity is knowing what you feel, why you feel that way, and knowing how to express them in a way that's both healthy and self-regulated. It's not just throwing your emotions out there to some people you can feel things. The most emotionally mature people are very intra-personal and look within to process their emotions.

100% agree, too many women (but by no means all) are frankly infantile with zero self control or even awareness of how they are hostage to their own emotions. It's why they do stupid shit and then blame others for their own mistakes. Ironically, it's the men with better self regulation that get labeled unable to express their emotions, called a bottler etc. because women can't comprehend that they consciously wind their neck in. Men do this because (unlike women, who get rewarded for being emotional) acting like a child gets them nowhere. Women equally used to be held to higher standards (neurotic behavior was even treated as a mental illness) but feminism says it's no longer acceptable to challenge female behavior, regardless how shitty.

I appreciate the double emphasis on “it’s not your job to fix people.” It’s so common to think that’s the purpose of a partner sometimes but that mindset actually makes partnership impossible. We think we’re being compassionate but it’s actually patronizing for the other person to think they need us to fix them. Usually this happens when we don’t have value for ourselves so we think we have to shop for a fixer-upper from the bargain bin but really we just need to find a partner that matches us so there’s balance between give and take and both people get support as well as feeling helpful. If you’re reading this, you deserve a partner that isn’t a project.

I've always been a fixer and always it has backfired even though I learned a lot about people and myself in the process. I clearly realize that I deserve more than "a project" but then again, a couple days back, invited a girl I've been having great vibes with to a party. A couple hours later she starts showing too much attention to my friend, even starts filming him under influence and he calls her a slut and asks her to leave. I didn't know the specifics as I was in the other room but went there to see what's up, calm the girl down (other friend said she was fighting with the dude). While I was hugging her, apparently she was smiling at my friend who supposedly just attacked her a moment ago if we trust her words. This ended with my friend saying both of us should leave (without explanation as he was high and didn't want to get into it). She seemed sorry to have provoked this but how much was ambiguous. We went to my place and had a peaceful evening. Next day talked and two days later we met and she played the blame game on me, my friend and so on. Why did I leave with her that first evening I don't know (out of respect for inviting her I guess?). Why did I tried to explain to her why it's not okay to be violent physically even if someone is being emotionally unstable (my friend)? Why did I meet her after two days? Typing this helps me understand how ridiculous all this sounds, lol.

These are also symptoms of a malignant narcissistic personality disorder.

I did not feel I was ready for marriage when I failed my exam and had no future. She told me “marry me or I break up with you, I don’t fly out for guys that aren’t invested in me” at that point I was set to live in another part of the country for a year for additional training. When I eventually called her out for why she couldn’t wait, she couldn’t say what she thought I would do while not hitched. Never get put into an ultimatum guys. And to think I actually said no, but then I reversed course out of fear of embarrassment and potential harassment from her friends. The fuck was I thinking? Eventually, I passed my exam while she was pregnant with our son, but it was a huge gamble on our parts. But the resentment slowly worked its way into me, like a pernicious lack of trust. And it blew up in my face later on. What I should not have ignored was emotional outbursts that kept on coming and coming. Partially, I did stay a bit for the kid, but then everything came to a head. Yes, two unhappy parents staying together for a kid messes the kid up. I should know because that’s what my own parents are like, they stayed together for me. Well I’m pretty messed up now.

My brother is constantly trying to win her praise and affection by jumping through her hoops, but she never gives him any, and he does it because he has always been trying to win the affection and praise of his father, it is all he knows.

I ended up being emotionally abused and it was one of the worst things I’ve ever dealt with (still dealing with after a month). Please look after yourselves. I’m so thankful I got out when the signs started showing and had friends that helped me figure it out. I feel awful for the people who get stuck in these relationships for a really really long time. Thank you for showing this Courtney, really appreciate what you do. I’m not sure if you have already but I would consider doing a video on signs of narcissism. It’s a horrible thing to deal with and I see so much damage from it.

Hey Courtney! I’d say another sign is ‘Avoiding Conflict’. My most recent girlfriend always pushed off any disagreements we had because she just wanted everything to be happy and positive. Of course it would be ideal to have your partner share all the same opinions as you, but that’s just not realistic. If you aren’t willing to have a conversation and compromise/work with your partner…I’d say you’re better off finding someone else or being single. Just my thoughts. Love the channel!

I agree, that is a good sign of emotional immaturity. I myself was very conflict avoidant in my most recent relationship, because I could not figure out how to communicate my frustrations with my ex without irritating her in turn, so I learned the wrong lesson of 'every time I bring up a disagreement, it turns into a fight, so I'll just shove my frustration down and agree with whatever she wants and she'll be happy'. I need to learn how to speak up for myself in a way that makes it easy for a woman to understand. I chose to end the relationship for other reasons, but my own conflict avoidance was part of it. I did not want to be with someone who I would have to fight every time I disagreed with her, whether on big things or small things.

I dated a girl who thought I was weird and was concerned because I’m not a shit talker while she was a big gossiper (literally the way Courtney explained it verbatim) and like, equated that to me not being able to open up to her about things; she told me this. Only after things ended did I realize how big of a red flag this was - add in the staying surface-level point to this too which I also didn’t really notice until after.

I love these points. Thank you for sharing. Having a run thru with a lot of "women" that display a lot of child like behaviors. I can tell you, its frustrating. Infuriating that its somehow glorified amongst women as something "empowering" when it really is just being childish. Arguing in Public by putting someone on the spot is absolutely not fine. Idk y this is encouraged. Crying constantly cause you can't cope with basic day to day stress is not "empowerment" Over-communicating is not healthy communication since your partner doesn't have the chance to speak And Lastly, Telling yourself your going to harm yourself for pity points from your partner is really screwed up.

5/5 my ex. Have to highlight this for those already in a relationship with someone like this: get out! Your family and friends may not understand, they might even take the other person's side, because they don't (or refuse to) see what is really going on. Trust your gut if you think you're being mistreated, and get out. It's very difficult with little or no support, speaking from experience, but it's super important to push through that pain and get away from someone who is mistreating you. You don't have to be a perfect person to deserve to be treated decently. And if you have a family member or friend who is signaling that they're in an unhealthy relationship, listen to them! Don't push them away, tell them they're wrong, tell them they need to treat the other person better, or tell them to give the other person another chance. Live up to the term "friend" or "family," and help them get away and start over.

Maybe you shouldn't have focused on the 'making her happy' part to begin with. Being happy is a single emotion. Women want a whole damn spectrum of those, not just the seemingly positive ones. If you sacrifice yourself to solely make her 'happy' you end up killing her emotional investment in you and excitement eventually. Keep in mind that most women aren't aware of what they truly want. You have to study that through their actions, not their words. Have principle and stick with it, because that defines your dignity, especially as a man. Sacrificing your dignity signals weakness. Cheating feels unfair but it has a reason behind it. Consider it as enlightenment. Don't always blame the other person first for what happens. The world's unforgiving my friend, but you'll grow when you use situations to your advantage. No relationship is absolute.

Another great video, Courtney Ryan!! I certainly appreciate your attitude of equality especially how you emphasized that when someone hits someone, they are trash. That speaks volumes of worldliness.

Courtney... Great video... As a man who has an OJT based PhD in aberrant female psychology you nailed it. I will say not all of these things are clear signs of emotional insecure. Granted it is often the case, but recently I was dating a woman who had many of these red flags and I called it out. We had to end the relationship early and then months later she came back and re-engaged in a dialog. Her behaviors were actually based out of anxiety and unresolved grief. She had lost her mother and husband in the previous year withing a few months of each other. She went through and intensive grief and anxiety program to address these. Now she may be the most mature female in terms of relationships I have ever met.

Courtney thank you for being you. It gives me hope that there are people out there that will call people out on their actions and attempt to help them, regardless of gender.

Emotionally Immaturity Summary 1. Its all about her all the time 2. She never takes accountability and always play victim. Defensive and blame you instead 3. She cant control her emotions 4. Lack of impulse control 5. Always stay surface level 6. Gossiping

This is a fairly natural state of womanhood - not necessarily 'emotional immaturity' - as most women do not emotionally progress beyond the age of 18 or so. There's a reason why the expression, "the smartest teenager in the room" is applied to grown-ass women (and it's nothing to do with 'misogyny').

The point about gossiping is so freaking spot on! Most counselors don't talk about this trait and it's refreshing to see her mention this. Good one👌

I think a lot of these are linked to narcissism rather than emotional maturity because for someone to be emotionally immature, that would imply that they are capable of learning and change. Narcissism is more so an aspect of someone's neurological makeup, so it's not really something that can be altered.

I don't think narcissism and immaturity are mutually exclusive, nor do I believe that they are the same. It's a spectrum and there's a lot more along the lines, so perhaps there is an easier way. If I could trust my gut over my mind every single time, I'd be golden so there's that.

Public comment. God bless you Ms Courtney. It is important to have moral values and respect and protect your character. Honesty is the best policy. In any relationship between two persons needs trust and respect and care and commitment by understanding the principles of life. Serving the true purpose in life. Self realization is the key to success.

Needed this before my date this weekend, I was wondering what to talk about on the date and thought I'll talk about my KZread channel, plans for the future and what I'm working towards but I should focus on getting to know her instead of talking about myself

Basically describes my ex to the T. Always blaming me for her actions. She literally told me when we argue she wants to slam her head into a window and that it's my fault. She tried to justify it by saying none of her other ex's made her do that. I figured out it was because I didn't put up with her tantrums. Once she lost control of the situation she would freak out. I never raised my voice at her or hurt her neither. I was mature about it and tried to solve the problem. She responded by saying she doesn't want solutions, she wants comfort. But if we were constantly arguing about literally the same things all the time, we obviously need to address things head on. Unfortunately it ended up going in circles. Long story short, she was probably one of the most dishonorable people I've ever met and I've met a lot of people being a marine. Hopefully she fixes herself. I have growing to do but man, I've never met someone so manipulating and toxic before.

I commend for you your patience. After 6 months of dealing with my ex and her bullshit I lost my mind. My patience wore thin and my behavior was sporadic. I had to walk away because she was so toxic. She blames me for the relationship ending. No accountability on her part for her poor behavior. Doubt I'll ever hear from from her again because she is too proud. Probably for the best tho? I'm just sad it ended on bad terms. I wish I had better skills on being a gentleman ( like yourself ) and keeping my mouth shut. Looks like I have work do in that department?

You made me feel so not alone. You hit all 5.😢

Great advice Courtney, since deciding to focus on growing as a person my entire life has started evolving.Cheers

Important things as well: 1:38 (it's all about her), 2:30 (she never takes accountability), 3:36 (she can't control her emotions), 4:25 (she always stays surface level), 5:14 (she's always gossiping), and 6:45 (totally agree with you pretty lady very much indeed). Well Courtney, I agree with the things that you have told as well. What I can add on among the mentioned things are these: 6. Playing Hard to get games; and also 7. Playing Cold, or Hot games (or I would rather call it playing Yes, and No games). What I have meant to say at item seven is, that people that are immature they play that games as well. For example: One guy sees a girl that is interested in it. He comes to see and to talk to that girl, and she is not interested as well. The next week, that same girl now decides to be with man that she rejected as well. And then after next week she rejects him and that goes on, and on. It also can be seen with other way around as well. The important things that we have to watch are deeds. Why? Because the deeds will tell you more things, and information than the words that people are saying. We just have to observe the deeds, and the answers will be there as well. Of course the deeds are very important in any segments of our lives. The important thing is that we should be worried about own reputation. And you know what kind of reputation is that? It is the reputation that we have to live a life just for us (not in the selfish way I mean, but to be enough mature to astimate what is good for us, and what is not good for us). Keep up the work pretty lady 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘❤❤❤.

All fair valid points. And literally most reasons I had to divorce my ex husband. But I relate to point 4. Not because of anything my partner has done, but I was raised to believe that how I felt didnt really matter, so I stopped sharing how I felt or what I really thought with anyone. I'm in therapy to work that out, and have made great improvement in my family and friendship relationships with this!

Totally unrelated topic, but could you do a video on how to tell if it’s a good time to go in for a first kiss? I went on a second date at an arcade with a girl last night and the conversations and chemistry we had at first were incredible, and about an hour into the date we were standing next to each other after playing a game, and I had just complimented her and she blushed, laughed and said a compliment back so I went in for a kiss but she basically ducked my head and like side-hugged me. I don’t know if I did something wrong or if she was just nervous, it was super embarrassing and the rest of the date was super awkward. Thank you for what you do Courtney!

just ask if you can kiss her. I do this all the time. But if she's looking at your lips when you're close, that's a very strong sign she wants a kiss. Also looking at her lips when you feel it's right or almost that time also signals your intentions. Lastly, if you're hugging a long time and she flashes those signs, its likely she wants to kiss you. Nothing wrong with asking tho, girls appreciate that chivalry.

One of the most major other signs I've noticed are two-fold (from my current toxic situationship, other than lani's list of the most poignant things) 1.) - does every little thing she can to devalue me/enrich her reputation at my expense (from gossiping badly about me to talking over me to disavowing all my interests while expecting me to partake of hers to trying to imitate the things i've done to make money or even mannerisms or disavowing an idea i gave her but later trying to take credit for it as hers) 2.) - uses a "tit-for-tat" mentality on every gift or even the smallest things, like if I ask her to scratch my back - it's always later on "well, I did for you, so now, you owe me a dinner or what're you gonna do for me or I would like you to cat sit this many times whenever i ask"

Good eye. In my last toxic relationship of 2+ years (mostly on/off) I noticed the tit-for-that a lot from partner while, on the other hand, I also noticed in myself the fact that, after so much gaslighting, betrayal, bullying and secrets/lies I've been subject to, I started to withhold both my attention and finances. Tried to leave multiple times. So one could (and she did) say that I was using her even though on a net basis this was definitely the other way around. That's the worst part for me in relationships with these kind of people - they make you distrust your own judgement and memory while, at the same time, create walls between you and your support network. Truly feels like insanity at times.

It's really tough for me to open up to people. Because in the past, i was either judged or invalidated for sharing my feelings. There's a reason why only a handful of people have seen me let my guard down and be vulnerable. Those people are my closest friends and it took me a couple years to trust them enough to get to that level with them. You should always be very selective of who you open up to. Because the wrong person will try to use it against you any way they can

This list better include the inability to say sorry as well as playing games while saying everyone else plays games. Like Craig said too Smokey in the Friday movie, "ain't nobody playing but you"

My ex-wife and I could never connect on a deep level at all. I love deep conversation and topics and expression, and she didn't mind at first but shortly afterwards she wants only surface level conversations and berated me if I started to get deep. Plus the mind games and everything didn't help either. I wish I heard this when I was younger otherwise I would have saved myself 14 years of tears, but in the end I am thankful that I was able to realize that no matter what I did nothing could be fixed and I left. I am now much happier with a woman who doesn't do any of these things that Courtney has mentioned and I looking forward to the future with her. Thank Courtney for these videos.

I couldn't imagine not engaging in deep conversation and just being able to ponder and philosophize with whomever I chose to be my husband. While I wouldn't get deep all the time of course, life needs some levity and simple, surface-level, blissful enjoyment too, but I love deep exploration of the mind when the mood hits. Not being able to talk about something like that with someone I love would leave me absolutely _starving_ for depth, I think I'd go crazy emotionally. I'd almost feel trapped in a way, like I can't truly be authentic because I'm metaphorically censored and gagged. Happy to hear that things turned out well for you and that you were finally able to get what you craved in the end.

The reason I stayed was cause I thought (heh) that the other stuff mattered more; us going out, cuddling on the weekends, being able to explore, etc. Those are great things for sure! But deep conversations, the lack of emotional intelligence and control , the absence of growth... I had to walk away. Glad I did. Am glad the two of you are with partners that give you what fits your personalities and characteristics.

Yessssss. On the road to 2M!

Yeah I think this video is a wake up call for me. I can certainly identify with some points, especially point 2 to degree. Though I've been kicked down so much in my life by so many people it's become a sort of defense mechanism for me, especially with certain people. It also feels like if you ever admit fault then many people will pounce on you. Point 5 reminds about something you said that really hit me pretty hard a while ago: If you always are negative then that's what people will associate you with. Yeah that hits home.

"this channel is about being the best that you can be", and that fact, Courtney, is why I love y'all.

The fourth one (staying surface level) is pretty much my entire personality. I want both emotional and physical intimacy but am afraid of and am unwilling to commit to those things at the same time, I am not even comfortable talking about my own interests with other people except for totally safe things like sports and work. I find it hard to consider that I could do a good job caring for someone else, or that someone else would want to do their best for me, when I have the embarrassment of not doing such a great job caring for myself.

Living with her is starting to feel more and more impossible. My feelings are completely dismissed if it doesn’t benefit her or feeding into her gossip fix. She completely flips the conversation on me if I try to speak up about how she is when it comes to finances and our home environment.

As usual, Courtney gives great videos for discussion. I am an older and have noticed a pattern in the dating world and marriage. There is a major growth in maturity between the age of 12 and 18. And then another wave of maturity progresses from age 18 to 30. When people marry under the age of 25, often times the growth maturity is still in progress and the relationship got serious too quickly. In some cases, the couple is just not ready for the marriage and it ends abruptly. Sociologists have analyzed marital data and noticed that pattern in the Southeastern USA - the "Bible Belt" where there is strong religious pressure to marry very young. Ironically, the divorce rates in the "Bible Belt" are very high - second only to Las Vegas. I lived in the "South" for over 13 years. I noticed that after the marriage ends, the divorced moms with children have maturity and realism that in some cases could help nurture a new relationship. A single mom of age 30 is often very mature in having handled difficult parental responsibilities while balancing a job, a return to college, a difficult divorce, co-parenting, etc. Such a strong woman often gains a lot of maturity and could embark on a new relationship with realism and success if it weren't for the "logistical challenges". These include divorce burnout, parenting, finances, lack of time, lack of energy, etc. It would seem ideal if some couples at least wait until the mid to late 20s to increase the odds with more maturity relative to the late teens or very early 20s. I saw divorce happen a lot for young couples when I lived in the "South" of the FL Panhandle. There are exceptions, but the pattern is backed up by data (not conjecture). www.lonestarlaw.net/divorce-rates-highest-in-the-south/
