Melancholic
Melancholic (from the Greek (melanos) — black, chole — bile) — a subject with one of the four main types of temperament, characterized by a low level of mental activity, slow movements, restraint of motor skills and speech, and rapid fatigue. Melancholic people are distinguished by high emotional depth and stability of emotions with weak external expression, and negative emotions predominate. Under unfavorable conditions, a melancholic person may develop increased emotional vulnerability, isolation, and aloofness. I. P. Pavlov believed that representatives of the melancholic temperament have a predominant inhibitory process with weakness of both arousal and inhibition.
Often a melancholic person can be recognized by talking with him for just a few minutes: a quiet voice, expressionless facial expressions and gestures, and you can rarely hear a melancholic laugh at the top of his voice. Melancholics are very touchy, you can even say that their touchiness is painful. It would seem that you did not say anything offensive, but the melancholic was offended by your words, his mood turned sour, and tears appeared in his eyes.
Melancholic people are not used to achieving their goals, they easily give up at the first setback. Timid and insecure melancholics at school are easily distracted and rarely reach out to answer a teacher's question, even if they know the answer.
It is very difficult for melancholics to change the situation, the need to meet new people, and changing the team can be a real challenge for them. It is not surprising that a melancholic person prefers a home evening at the computer, in front of the TV, or with a book in his hands to a noisy party with friends.
If a melancholic person works, he tries to immerse himself in what he has started with his head, withdrawing into himself. True, it is terribly difficult for a melancholic to force himself to start something new, since this type of temperament is characterized by very high inertia. If, for one reason or another, the melancholic person switches his attention from the task he started to another, then, most likely, he will never return to the first one. This, perhaps, can be attributed to the weaknesses of melancholics. Melancholics do not know how to distribute their own forces, which, I must say, people of this temperament do not have so much.
Melancholic people have a great imagination and a very rich inner world. These are most often creative people who are able to create in moments of inspiration without ceasing for whole days, forgetting about sleep and food.
If your loved one is a melancholic, then you can not doubt his feelings, because melancholics are more capable of deep stable feelings than people belonging to other types of temperament. Melancholics are great and reliable friends, they will never leave you in trouble, they can very subtly feel the mood of a loved one, they can always find empathy. These are definitely the strengths of melancholics.
Melancholic people can become great psychologists who work with their patients one - on-one. Professional success can be expected for melancholics as a speech therapist, social worker, or art school teacher. But professions that require active communication with people will not suit melancholics.
Melancholic people perceive time more slowly than it actually is. So, if a melancholic says that he will be ready in five minutes, then it will take at least half an hour, and maybe more. Because of their sense of time, melancholics are almost always late, so you need to take this fact into account and leave the house in advance.
You are melancholic if:
* you find it difficult to make decisions.
• you often have bouts of unreasonable fear and anxiety.
• you easily get upset even over small things.
• your mood changes easily for the better or for the worse (this happens more often).
* you are touchy, often the reason for resentment may be quite insignificant;
* you get tired easily.
