After trauma, it's possible to get emotionally stuck at the age it happened. But with mental health support, it's possible to get unstuck.

Healthy and mature people certainly need help sometimes too. But they go about it differently. When they ask for help, they consider the other person’s circumstances.

Not every rejection needs a follow-up. Sometimes seeking closure from the people who’ve rejected you can hurt you even more.

Where you arrive does not matter so much as what sort of person you are when you arrive there.

Emotionally immature people who are otherwise intelligent can think conceptually and show insight as long as they don’t feel too threatened in the moment.

Their intellectual objectivity is limited to topics that aren’t emotionally arousing to them.

I used to spend much time reacting & responding to everyone else that my life had no direction. Other people's lives, problems & wants set the course for my life. Once I realized it was ok for me to think about & identify what I wanted, remarkable things began to take place in life.

Even years later, you recall that you knew all along that something was a bad idea. Yet instead, you followed the insistent voice telling you that you must do otherwise, regardless of how you felt or what you knew.

Nothing, to my way of thinking, is a better proof of a well ordered mind than a man’s ability to stop just where he is and pass some time in his own company.
