Growing up can be a whirlwind of a time. 

You either get the perfect setting to develop, grow and become an easy human being, or you're slapped with the latter, where there's a huge baggage you carry around, whether you like it or not. 

Most of us are stuck with the latter. 

Here are 7 signs to tell that you or someone you know, was an emotionally underdeveloped child growing up. 

1. You rush to solve, dismiss or invalidate feelings, because you weren't taught how to cope with them

2. You isolate yourself when you need emotional support, because you felt alone growing up

3. You feel empty, flawed, and like the odd one out, because you were never truly seen or understood

4. You struggle to communicate your needs because you were taught to please others at the expense of yourself

5. You struggle with feeling worthy and lovable, because you didn't receive enough attention and affection

6. You live in survival mode and have a difficulty trusting or relying on others

7. You react from wounds because your experiences were never processed
