Answer:

It's very likely that your immaturity is rooted in circumstances and conditions that are no fault of your own. In this case, it can be safe to say that there isn't really anything "wrong" with you.

The reason you may be acting immature now could have something to do with your childhood, or lack thereof. Let me explain. Often times when people choose to, or have to, take on adult responsibilities at a younger age, they tend to act slightly immature in their adult years because they never got to act like a child or teenager when they were children or teenagers. This most often shows up in people who were the oldest among their siblings and had to help their parents care for their younger brothers or sisters while they were still young, themselves.

Also, signs of immaturity in the adult years can show up in people who get married and have children at a young age (late teen's and early 20's mostly). They're still basically kids themselves in many ways, and once they have a baby, they're forced to "grow up" right away, and many of them can't. Then they turn out to be sub-par parents and the children are the ones who suffer.

Overall, as for ridding yourself of your immaturity, you can't completely get rid of it. And, why would you want to? Some healthy doses of immaturity now and then can help keep you young. After all, you're only as old as you feel. As long as your "immaturity" is not putting yourself or anyone else in great danger, I'm going to say that you're ok. And you will grow up in your own time.

Hope I was helpful. And best of luck to ya.

You might feel like your 15 but thats not how people see you.

You are only 22 and still young. Give it time and you will wish that when your 30 0r 40 that your body and mind was 15.

enjoy being 22 and let that inner child play!

Emotional arrested development?, maybe you are a little stressed or have an issue about something. 14 or 15 may take you back to a happier more carefree time when you felt secure. Find the root of the issue the solution will follow.
