Negative qualities of people. Character traits: examples

Negative character traits and behavioral errors. That which prevents us from living.

How to eliminate negativity

———————————————————————————

Your attention is invited to a manual designed to help you analyze your behavior, find and overcome character flaws, find the causes of failures and ways for development.

Mistakes are thoughts, words or actions that harm someone or something. Negative character traits are tendencies to commit any mistakes

A change in character often begins precisely with an analysis of negative conditions or consequences, then the causes are determined - mistakes or negative traits of character. These reasons are individual for each person. For example, the cause of a state of fear may be fear, cowardice, disgust (if it is fear, for example, of insects). Dealing with the cause negative state or consequences, it is much easier to deal with this condition, problem or difficult situation. It also happens vice versa: it is easier to get rid of an error or inherent trait character, if you look ahead, to what conditions or consequences it can lead.

To correct a mistake, cope with a habit or shortcoming, you need to:
1. Recognize this mistake for yourself, remembering specific cases, and try to understand the reasons for its commission.
2. Realize the harm caused by a misconduct, a manifestation of a lack of other people, deeds, the world around, to oneself. To realize the harm, one can remember not only the real consequences of a misconduct - damaged relationships, unresolved tasks, illnesses and other problems, but also think about what this shortcoming in its extreme manifestations can lead to. For example, aggression - to war, irritability - to the destruction of a family or team, the loss of friends.
3. Understand how it was necessary to act in the situation under consideration in order not to make this mistake.
4. Ask for forgiveness from those who have been harmed and make a decision with this moment don't repeat the mistake. If an appeal for forgiveness is inappropriate, or there is no person nearby whom you want to ask for forgiveness, you can do this mentally. Asking for forgiveness (in whatever form) reflects a change of mind about one's behavior and a desire to change in action. It is also related to the decision to accept help in correction.
5. Monitor the implementation of the decision.

The character of each person is a combination of positive and negative qualities. Bad personality traits can seriously complicate the life of their owner, as well as his environment. Very often, a person may not even suspect that he has such qualities, and not understand why people around him avoid communicating with him.

Pride, arrogance

These traits are characteristic of people who feel their superiority, in their opinion, over other people. Excessive ambition and self-confidence give rise to such character traits. Ambition can come into conflict with real opportunities. In this case, a person can humiliate other people, thereby asserting himself at their expense.

Despotism, cruelty

The desire to control and manage, to subjugate other people, often there are elements of cruelty. As a rule, these negative character traits originate from childhood, when a person was subjected to humiliation and cruelty by parents or close people. Angry at the whole world, he transfers cruelty to the people around him.

Irritability, irascibility

Like everyone else, these qualities are extremely negative impact on its owner, have a destructive effect on the human psyche. Character imbalance is often the result of neurological and mental disorders and needs to be corrected.

Judgment, criticism

Such character traits appear in constant discontent, the desire to criticize and condemn everything around: other people, the government, the country, the world. People who constantly express condemnation show little tolerance for themselves. Hidden cause dissatisfaction with the world and oneself is often the following quality.

Envy

The tendency to envy arises in people who want to have something in their lives, but are faced with the inability to have it. Underestimating one's own abilities, while at the same time observing the success of others, can develop this negative quality.

Pessimism, weakness

Pessimism and weakness negative character traits, causing a negative vision of a person around the world. Subject to this perception are people with low self-esteem, insecure. Weakness of will is a consequence of excessive love and overprotection by parents in childhood, which does not allow the child to be independent.

Greed, avarice

The cause of greed in people can be family memory about hard times, material deprivation in childhood. In this case, there is an excessive attachment to material and financial values, dependence on them, the desire to accumulate them more and more.

Irresponsibility, deceit

Individuals who do not take responsibility for their words, promises and deeds completely lose people's trust over time. Irresponsibility is often accompanied by lies. These negative character traits are frequent companions of each other. The reasons for lying are the fear of being judged, punished, the desire to embellish one's abilities.

These are just some of the bad traits of a person’s character that can overshadow all his positive qualities. Often such traits are rooted in childhood: dislike or overprotection, inattention of parents to children, errors in education can become the basis for the development of such manifestations of character. " Everyone has their own demons..."- sounds in one modern song. It is very important to identify these "demons", accept their presence and begin work on neutralization.

Character is a set of personality traits. In other words, it is a combination of attitudes and habits. Character plays a decisive role in the fate of a person. Each action causes an adequate reaction: a person reacts to situations and objects individually, as well as reality responds to the reaction personally. Wisdom, which has absorbed the experience of thousands of generations, asserts: by sowing a habit, you will reap a character, but by burying a complex of habits in the garden of life, you can count on a corresponding fate.

There are hundreds of character traits (and a trait is that very reaction to a certain area objective reality), each of them, like everything in this life, tends to one of the poles - positive or negative. But if in many areas the existence of opposites is not only natural, but also good, then the presence in the character negative sides- very bad, although, unfortunately, is the norm.

If the average person is asked to list negative traits, he is unlikely to name more than three or four dozen. However, just to mention them in the form of a list, the article would have to be quadrupled. Despite the fact that without preparation it is difficult for us to remember even a tenth of the negative character traits, in varying degrees we are familiar with most of them.

Four main groups

Character traits can be divided into four groups that determine the attitude of a person:

to yourself;
to those around;
to work, business;
to the world and material things in particular;

You probably don't need an explanation for each class, but it's good to give examples for each group of negative traits.

Self-esteem - vanity

The name is eloquent - vain glory. A person who suffers (and after all, any negative habit or attitude is a disease) with vanity is characterized by a desire for recognition by other people, praise by others, (in a severe form) for worship. Vanity is one of the manifestations of pride, which in most religions is considered a mortal sin.

A person who revels in himself, is dependent on the opinions of others, loses himself in a cloud of human reactions to him. Like other traits, vanity pulls other negative habits with it. Of course, this feature often pushes you to accomplishments, but such a push is like a high jump without a safety net. Among the positive features, one can see its analogy - the desire for worthy goals, dissolving oneself in deeds, and not in the opinions of people.

Attitude towards others - aggressiveness

Aggression cannot but cause a response, therefore a person who is not distinguished by a peaceful character rarely evokes the sympathy of society. But if it were only a matter of sympathy, this trait could still be somehow justified. However, history so clearly illustrates the perniciousness of aggressiveness that there can be no compromises regarding it. Unlike many other negative traits, there are no intermediaries between this and its physical extension.

Attitude to work - laziness

In reality, such a phenomenon does not exist. There is a concept. Laziness is a whole complex of signs indicating a lack of love for work, goals. Laziness speaks of an energy decline. Just as darkness is the absence of light, and cold is warmth, so laziness is just the “immobility” of certain positive traits or the depletion of the corresponding mental resources that help make life a bright picture.

Whatever the reasons behind laziness, indulgence in it leads to a waste of time and life. There are many ways to replace this negative trait with similar positive ones.

Attitude to material - squandering

A feature that, even in attractive financial conditions, rarely allows you to save "acquired overwork". Thus, squandering destroys the fruits of labor, sometimes hard, often leaving a person with empty pockets, and even with debts, pulling into the social abyss.

Some object to classifying this trait as negative, appealing to the fact that life is one, and you need to live it to the maximum. Thrift - the opposite trait - is perceived by such people as the lot of "gray" personalities. Spenders, potential or accomplished, are unaware that reckless spending of money never leads to creation.

classify negative traits character can be otherwise.

Other classification

Character traits can be divided into emotional, intellectual and strong-willed.

Emotional Traits

They determine the attitude of a person to objects, subjects and processes of reality. Narcissism, for example, is directed inward, mockery is directed outward, to the people around. This class includes ardor, recklessness, vindictiveness ... They all amaze emotional sphere without giving positive sentiment take your place. As a result, the person affected large quantity of negative emotions, cannot enjoy the life that he could if he allowed him to change the sign of his habits from minus to plus.

Intellectual Traits

They can be defined as a set of established properties and qualities of the intellect. This can include stupidity, narrow-mindedness, inattention ... One of the tasks of a person as a rational being is the conquest of reality. It is impossible if the "tool" is not sharpened.

The inability to use a biological computer, the habit of not sinking below the highest layers of reality turns into a collapse for the bearer of negative intellectual traits and, often, harm to society. Since many decisions in society are made collectively, incorrect choice, based on limitation, leads to large and small backfire.

Will Traits

They are responsible for a person's ability to control their activities and, as a result, life in many aspects. Constructive features, subject to the predominance of positive ones in other areas, lead to creative changes. Negative ones destroy a person, even if in other groups, in general, everything is in order. Examples include cowardice, passivity, hypochondria…

Ability to channel energy and abilities into right direction – required condition successful, by any definition, life. On the contrary, volitional barriers force one to endlessly stumble or stagnate in one place.

How to change minus to plus

Thousands of works have been written about how to build character. The most important thing in this is not the quantity, but the fact that changes are possible in principle. The simplest solution is to analyze the shortcomings, choose a model of the desired behavior and scrupulous "accounting".

In other words, you should carefully study (and this is an ongoing process) your weak sides and choose an example to follow. Visual pattern is always better than abstraction. Imitation of the behavior of "examples" (it is better to have several of them, since there are no ideals) should be accompanied by daily analysis and adjustment of efforts.

All people are able to read various self-development books that have enough knowledge to help us become wiser in relationships. However, we are all hindered by the bad, sometimes "poisonous" qualities of our chosen one. We are often afraid to talk to whoever is the source of these "poisonous vibes", and even more afraid of having to give up friendships and relationships because of them.

Such "poisonous" qualities are manifested in the most various forms and some of these we can see in those people from whom we do not expect it at all. nice to us and good man outside, it becomes an illusion, because inside it is completely different. We just have to wait for him to show his true colors.

let's consider five human qualities in relationships that are common personality traits. It is worth considering that they can be hidden behind kind smile person and successful appearance.

Sometimes you just need to think about the qualities of other people.

Discussions on this topic began with the fact that, collaborating with Kristen Fuller, Dr. medical sciences we heard her stories about own experience in similar relationships. She writes: “I was able to avoid “poisonous” relationships, but I saw bad qualities in those people who, at first glance, seemed to me an excellent contender for the role of the chosen one. For example, a person had everything: big family, prestigious education, successful career and he seemed to me a very kind person. But I quickly realized that this was all appearance and that it was difficult to avoid emotional torture with people with "poisonous" qualities, because outwardly they looked "perfect". The difficulty was that their real sides could not be seen at a glance.

As the saying goes, "appearances can be deceiving". I learned how important it is to recognize such people at the very beginning of their friendship or relationship. I also learned to remove these "terrible" people from my life and cherish those who, on the contrary, bring into it positive emotions. Ultimately, I became strong man and if such people came across my way, I knew what to do in this or that situation.

Whether in friendships or romantic relationships, most of us cannot see these bad qualities even when interacting with such people. There is five terrible faces people who poison relationships with them; they are all fairly common. These masks can be hidden in people and it happens that a person has not one, but even many qualities that harm others. Shakespeare's words pop up in the tale - “Our whole life is a game, and the people in it are actors.”

CRITIC

Have you ever been in a relationship where you were criticized and judged no matter what you do? Criticism is different from ordinary advice and it is important to understand this difference. For example, let's consider a situation in the life of a person when he was late for a meeting. Being late negatively affects our professional and personal relationships with people. Eternal tardiness is bad performance person. However, each of us made such mistakes and learned from our mistakes. So let's now move on to different versions one late situation.

Scenario #1: You're 15 minutes late for lunch and don't warn your significant other beforehand. She/he gets very angry and instead of asking what happened, he/she automatically starts blaming you. What you hear in your address - "You always come late and you're always late, I've been waiting for you for 15 minutes, it seems you can never show up on time."

This is the perfect example of criticism and, more often than not, this person criticizes your every move: "Are you going to wear this?", "Why don't you ever...", "What's wrong with you..." and the list goes on. As a result, you constantly feel guilty because “you can never do anything right,” no matter how hard you try.

Scenario #2: You're 15 minutes late for lunch and don't warn your significant other beforehand. Your partner is angry, but instead of criticizing, he tells you - “I notice that you are late quite often. Do you have any reason?". This is an example of when your spouse is trying to find out the reason why you are behaving incorrectly. Instead of blaming specific individual, he or she is looking for the reason for the act.

Critic can do a lot of harm to your relationship. Critics never call you offensive names, but they may constantly insult your beliefs, appearance, or your thoughts. Often, this is because they have low self-esteem and they want to control everything. Instead of trying to improve some of your bad habits, such people, on the contrary, prevent you from growing as a person.

An example of such criticism can be seen when a parent says to a child, "You're a bad boy/girl", instead of saying, "You did a bad thing."

PASSIVE AGGRESSOR

We all have passive-aggressive people around us. The passive aggressor is one of the more terrifying characteristics. You will always feel bad with such a person.

Let's consider a scenario of one of the situations:

You did something wrong and your half was upset after that. However, you are not entirely sure that this is the problem with his condition. And then you start asking him why he is angry or sad, because you could eliminate this mistake in the future if this is your fault. However, despite all your attempts to get to the truth, your partner does not tell true reason and denies everything with the phrases " everything is fine with me", « I'm not upset, everything is fine«.

This can lead to you exhausting yourself puzzling over why he has such a condition and what he hides under the real reasons for resentment or even anger. You can spend countless hours reading a person's mind, but nothing will come of it and you will only waste your nerves.

If a person cannot communicate in a way that you can understand, use defense mechanism sarcasm, sending mixed (vague) messages or doing something to not show your real emotions, you know - you are dealing with a passive-aggressive person. Please note that passive aggression is a passive expression of anger.

NARCISSISTIC

Such a person acts as if he or she is God's gift for this universe. He is the best in everything, knows absolutely everything and is not afraid to tell you anything. No matter how smart and experienced you are, you will never be on an equal footing with this person - he will not allow you to. Like the passive-aggressive quality, narcissism is considered a personality disorder and is a very bad quality.

Narcissistic people usually put themselves on a pedestal and look down on you. You may feel like you are constantly competing with this person, in all circumstances. Narcissists are often unwilling to compromise, lack understanding and empathy, and crave the spotlight. They can even ruin special occasions for you, like your birthday or a promotion at work, all in order to be the center of attention. And they don't care that it's your time to enjoy the attention or fame.

The tale of Narcissus from ancient Greek and Roman mythology helps us better understand the characteristics of narcissists. If you recall the description of the work, then it describes how Narcissus looked into the water and saw beautiful flower instead of yourself. He was surprised. Narcissistic people are often full of hatred. They are ready to destroy everything around them if they feel pain or rejection by others.

"STONE WALL"

Many people may have heard of the "stone wall". This is the kind of person who refuses to participate in a conversation or share their feelings when they have problems. Such people constantly dodge questions, making the interlocutor feel that he is not worthy of honest communication. Such a "stone" person may talk coldly to you and refuse to admit that something happened to him, or he needs someone's help.

Frequent failures to communicate sincerely create negative emotions on the way to the future successful communication. In addition, such behavior of people can lead you to feelings of resentment or guilt. If you are trying to communicate with such a person and feel that they do not want to be open with you, then you should consider whether you need such a relationship.

ANTISOCIAL PERSONALITY

Antisocial Personality Disorder includes the traits sociopath (considered the result social conditions such as - childhood abuse is characterized by explosive and sometimes aggressive behavior, but presumably has the capacity for empathy and remorse) and psychopath who ostensibly feels no remorse or empathy, takes advantage of other people, and often engages in fraud or crime with a variety of motives, including greed and revenge. The etiology of psychopathic behavior is believed to be genetic or congenital.

We all have tendencies for various personality traits. We all have a temptation and partly we can see ourselves in the behavior of an antisocial personality. We can also forgive and even welcome such people by imagining ourselves in their place. However, psychopaths are psychological chameleons that target the necessary emotional part in order to manipulate every situation and other people for money, sex, power, ego satisfaction, etc. They tend to be so pro that their victims themselves don't know what's going on.

This psychological predatory behavior can only be prevented skillful person. Not surprisingly, most people do not even suspect that such people are in their environment until it is too late. A psychopath's "love" is mostly a lie and is for the control, flattery, and power that lies beneath his mask.

TOTAL

If you are in a relationship with a person who has any of these personality traits, then it would be wise to take the time to reflect on how you feel with this person. This is exactly what Kristen did, gaining a huge understanding of the essence of human relationships.

Before proceeding to the classification and enumeration of traits human nature, it is necessary to understand what meaning and concept is embedded in this term. Translated from Greek, "character" means a difference, sign or sign. The personality of each person is multifaceted and in each there is an interweaving a large number personality traits that determine the behavior of a person in a given situation. What are there?

Classification of personality traits

Conventionally, the main character traits are divided into three main groups.

The first characterizes emotions, the second characterizes the will, and the third characterizes the intellect. There is also a division according to the direction of influence.

First of all, this is characterized by external environment- Society and people around.

In the second place - the attitude towards one's own person, and in the third place - to activity, that is, work and training.

The emotional group, which includes such traits as aggressiveness, apathy, artistry, irascibility, impressionability, good nature, cheerfulness, isolation, impulsiveness, capriciousness, love of love, melancholy and others, is formed in early childhood when the child's psyche undergoes a stage of formation under the influence of many different factors.

Volitional character traits are acquired throughout life - these are power, masculinity, assertiveness, resourcefulness, obsession, prudence, pedantry, devotion, etc. The intellectual group includes insight, reasonableness, prudence, independence, ingenuity, intelligence, intelligence, integrity, etc.

Of decisive importance here is the natural predisposition, which is influenced by hereditary genes and temperament.

However, the environment of the child cannot be discounted: it would be more correct to say that it plays the same role in the formation of the personality, as well as what is laid down by nature.

The baby grows, gains experience of interacting with outside world and a set of positive and negative personality traits. This process continues throughout life and the list of existing character traits is constantly updated with new ones. personality traits. And if at first this process occurs unconsciously, reflexively, then later, when a person is aware of his actions, he can already make a choice. This conscious choice and opens up opportunities for character transformation, that is, personal growth.

Basic personality traits

To date, the list of character traits consists of several hundred different definitions.

Their most different combinations can be found in the same person. But in general, the existing personality traits divided into positive and negative.

However, with absolute certainty to say that this is - bad trait character, and this is a good one, you can’t.

For example, adventurism can be called as negative trait and positive, depending on what effect it has on human behavior.

If he is excessively and thoughtlessly carried away by various adventures of an incomprehensible nature, then this, most likely, will not bring him to good.

healthy adventurism inherent in successful businessman, allows him to move forward, invest in promising projects and prosper. Or, for example, envy. Everyone will say that this trait is extremely negative.

But psychologists say that it is the engine of progress, forcing people to strive forward and achieve more than others have. In most cases, it is worth talking about certain sets of properties that, depending on the current situation, can have greater influence per person. But from a social and moral point of view, they can all be divided into positive and negative.

Negative character traits

Here are some of them:

The negative qualities of a person include rudeness, boasting, familiarity, gloom, vanity, obstinacy, bitchiness, arrogance, licentiousness, etc.
