Mental illnesses That Not Correspond
Here are some of their most interesting observations collected in these 10 character traits, which are sometimes a sign of serious problems.
Bore
If dreams of holiday and long vacation were a sign of a mental deviation, 99% of people would be classified as "crazy". But if you know a person who is constantly late for work, ignores his duties, often takes sick leave, lags behind with his tasks, does not keep his promises and invents a variety of absurd excuses for the unfinished work, it is most likely not just a "bad character", but a psychological problem that requires attention.
Other signs are:
These people don't mind living on the back of the others.
They don't have any plans for the future.
They make thoughtless purchases and often waste money on unimportant things, provided they have more pressing purchases or bills to repay.
If you find yourself in this kind of behavior, you should know that psychologists recommend that you start to lead your schedule and structure your day. Write down what you need to do every day, what your goals are, and what you'll get (for example, a gift, a symbolic prize) if you complete all the tasks for the week. In time it will become a habit and you will begin to live more organized. Another method that psychologists recommend is to write what problem you are struggling with now and to indicate all possible solutions. This way you will be more easily able to accept and deal with it.
Excessive shyness
Sramežlivcite is not small-you will recognize them when meeting a new person for example. There is nothing strange about it, but if it interferes with normal social relationships, if we refuse to fight it, it can lead to complete isolation and reluctance to fit into the world. People who are on the verge of mental illness stop experiencing strong emotions and avoid any contact with other people, so they choose to work from home or to deal with things that don't require communication.
Strong introversion can lead to:
Indifference.
Indifference to criticism and praise.
No close friends.
A tendency to dreaming and unrealistic look at the world.
A hypersensitivity that tries to hide from others for fear of being laughed at.
If these lines think that they are relevant to you and you do not want the problem to deepen, you will have to make an effort and be among people. Group activities can be stressful, but they are extremely useful in such cases. You may want to enroll in art courses, learn a new language, go on yoga, dance, etc. try to communicate more actively with at least two or three people in the new place you have chosen and do not be intimidated – according to psychologists, people are much more sympathetic to us than we think.
Permanent postponement of tasks
There are people who are just lazy. Everyone is looking to postpone an unpleasant pastime for later. Here, however, we are talking about cases where a person postpones even their most elementary duties because they simply can not bear them. The constant postponement of our obligations can lead to passive-aggressive behavior and chronic depression. The following symptoms are indicative that maybe you have a problem:
Irritation from the fact that you have to do something not particularly pleasant, which is quite normal for most people, for example, to wash the dishes, remove the dog, wipe dust, start the washing machine, throw away the garbage, start a vacuum cleaner, etc.
You are doing your work slowly and poorly (through your fingers).
You are offended if someone advises you how to cope with your work more quickly and efficiently.
You are making undeserved criticism of those who have more power than you.
If any of your lists is familiar, it's time to take your life in your hands and start organizing your time to the fullest. Make a schedule for each day. No need to be overly ambitious, more importantly, to run it to create some sort of routine. Think about how good it would be to finish your duties and then be free to do what you want without worrying about abandoning yourself.
Impulsivity and Easy irritability
Sprihavostta is not a pleasant quality. But sometimes he talks about something more than a nasty and violent nature. People who do not endeavor to control their anger, face a greater risk of developing a personality disorder. A typical symptom of this disease is a sharp change in mood, as well as the uncausal change of opinion. For example, today they say they hate fried eggs, and tomorrow they prepare fried eggs for breakfast. The following symptoms require increased attention:
Unstable and perishable friendly and love relationships.
Frequent unthought purchases.
Aggressive driving.
Changing the mood without cause and a constant feeling of boredom and boredom.
What you can take-professional therapy and self-control exercises. Try reducing unnecessary purchases. For example, if you plan to buy a coffee machine and you manage to do it without buying from the store and still a bunch of useless things around it, you deserve to get the rewards with something you dream of for a long time.
Relentless self-criticality
It is very nice to be self-critical, to require more than yourself, and not to try at all costs to find justification for your mistakes. This helps us develop and grow as individuals. Self-criticism is a large dose, however, it can be an indicator of serious problems. Here are a few alarming signs of this kind of mental disorder:
Strong intolerance to criticism or disapproval, accompanied by a sense of insult.
Avoiding new acquaintances that border on absurdity (for example, to deny a promotion because it would mean working with new people).
Exaggeration of the possible difficulties, risks, and dangers in a given situation.
Reduce communication with others for fear of saying something wrong to get ridiculed.
In this case, it would be helpful to get rid of the guesswork and unreliable assumptions about what could happen if... We encourage you to write down all the fears and concerns associated with a given situation on a single sheet. For example, "If I go to the store late at night, I will be robbed." Then do what you like, and save the result. You probably didn't get robbed, did you? It is almost certain that the result will be much more positive than you thought. Next time you're afraid to do something, open the book with your notes and see how many times your fears actually happened.
Suspiciousness, Oversuspicion
Every once in awhile, we all get paranoid and this is normal, but some people go through all sorts of boundaries in their suspicion – they always look for some hidden subtext, they fantasize about things, they have a habit of tapped, reading foreign e-mails, digging into people's belongings, looking for a calf. Such behavior is not within the boundaries of normal and talks about paranoid personality disorder, especially if accompanied by the following symptoms:
Painful and inexplicable distrust of the spouse.
Search for subtext in the most ordinary actions (for example, that the neighbor underneath pop the door deliberately to annoy you).
A tendency to dial everyone around you guilty.
Lack of sense of humor and inability to look at things from their funny side.
A good method of coping with chronic distrust is to compose a list of your loved ones and each time they have met your expectations, put a red dot next to their name. For example, if you were afraid that the partner would forget about you during the family party/teambuilding, but instead paid attention to you all the time. Next time you experience distrust of someone, pay attention to the number of red dots and you will calm down.
Workaholism
We are all dependent on our loved ones – this is enshrined in our nature, but overuse dependence is known in medicine as an obsessive/dependent personality disorder. The main sign of this disease is that a person can not take decisions alone, without having consulted their relatives or their boss. Here are some more signs of this particular condition:
Agreeing with the circumstances and with others even if they are unpleasant and unacceptable to you.
A feeling of discomfort when you are alone, and a compulsive urge to do everything possible so that you do not let yourself be alone.
Be prepared to do something that is uncomfortable for you, just to like someone.
A compulsive feeling that the whole world is against you and everyone wants to harm you or betray your trust.
The best thing you can do in this case is to build a list of your qualities. For example, "I'm a good driver" or "the project I presented today at the office was good". Every time you need a foreign approval, look at the list to gain confidence.
Hyperacidity
Overuse sensitivity can be a symptom of hysteria personality disorder, also known as hysterics or hysteria. The desire of a person to be in the center of attention is somewhat natural but depends on what boundaries it extends and how difficult the person overcomes the fact that it does not always work. If you're experiencing anger or intransigence when the spotlight is on another, then you have a problem.
Here are some of the symptoms of this disorder:
A constant need for support, approval, and praise.
Inability to concentrate on a specific task for an extended period of time.
A sudden change of mood.
Overly emotional speeches and speeches, filled with pathos, lacking facts, and logical thoughts.
Intolerance to boredom and uniformity and desire to constantly do something new and different.
One of the most successful ways to deal with hysteria is by working with a timer. Set it for 30 minutes or an hour, and you can only have one task at a time without distractions. Maybe it sounds like an easy job, but for the super-emotional people, it's a real battle with you, because you're not in one place. It's hard to set goals because they usually dream of something wonderful, but uncertain and vague. Therefore, another suitable method is to set clear and precise goals – for example, "to raise me in the work within two months", "to jump with a parachute coming summer", "Learn to cook risotto", etc.
9th perfectionism
Painful perfectionism borders on obsessive-compulsive personality disorder. The basis of this state is the fact that society values qualities such as self-control, discipline, reliability, and courtesy, and many people get obsessed to meet those expectations. This is the moment when these otherwise positive qualities degenerate into an obsession that is difficult to master.
Perfectionists should be worried if they notice these symptoms: 1 3
An unwillingness to dispose of unnecessary possessions with the thought that one day they will need them.
Pathological fear of mistake.
The desire to do everything themselves, including the work of others, because they are convinced that no one can cope better than they do.
The perfectionists do not know what is a holiday, so psychologists recommend meditating with closed eyes every day against the backdrop of pleasant music or to go often to massage. Another exercise is to write down what you have done in the days when you have not rested at all, and on the days when you have found time to rest. Most likely, the list will convince you that the break does not mean unfinished business.
High self-esteem
It is very important to love ourselves, but even this affection has its limits, otherwise, it can lead to narcissistic personality disorder. Such people, on the one hand, adore themselves and think of the greatest, but at the same time are extremely susceptible to a depressive state due to the fact that their self-esteem is false and fragile-like a balloon that can easily burst.
Here are a few more signs of the daffodils people:
Anger (hidden or obvious) and the slightest criticism.
They use others to achieve their goals.
Expect special treatment (e.g. put them to be first in line without a reason).
Compelling envy and constant dreams of untold riches.
The main problem with Narciscizma is the serious discrepancy between expectations and reality, which leads to frustration and inferiority, frequent and abrupt mood swings, and fear of embarrassment. A useful exercise in such cases is to lower your expectations and set more realistic goals that are feasible in the near future. For example, buy nice instead of dreaming of an expensive new car.
