Have you ever encountered this kind of situation? Since I was young, among people my age I was considered precocious. I would understand my parents, be considerate, be obedient and well-behaved, and my grades were excellent—I never made my parents worry. I could even often catch and absorb their negative emotions. But when I grew up and entered the workplace, I somehow came across as immature instead, not as mature as others my age. Many times, I was said to be naive, and even described as dull. Basically, I ended up not doing well and got by very poorly.
