Not long ago, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Lu Lin said in the popular science column "Science and Innovation China Academician's Lecture" that since the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, more than 70 million patients with depression have been added to the world, 90 million patients with anxiety, and hundreds of millions of people have insomnia problems. The World Mental Health Report recently released by the World Health Organization also showed that the global incidence of anxiety and depression increased significantly by 25% during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The cause of depression is not only the environment, but also an important factor in personality.
"The daughter in the boudoir cherishes the spring evening, and she is full of sorrow and has no place to let go." Lin Daiyu in " Dream of Red Mansions " is a typical depressive personality. " Daiyu Burial Flowers" is impressive. She portrays the plot of falling flowers in the flower tomb, and her sentimental, pessimistic and sensitive personality traits vividly, which makes her die of depression in the end.
Six personality traits that easily induce depression
Negative thinking
When things happen, they are prone to falling into pessimism, depression and depression, often feel that life is boring, lacks fun, like to compare your own shortcomings with others, resulting in loss of self-confidence, and thoughts full of dark and sadness about your current situation and future, and often fall into memories of the past and are always full of regret.
sensitive and suspicious
does not like socializing and does not like crowded occasions. If someone else accidentally says something, you will feel deeply hurt, act shy, taciturn, hesitate to do things, and lack the ability to act.
delay
cares too much about details, pays too much attention to work results, pursues perfection, and will repeatedly check and check your implementation plan for fear of omissions, so as not to complete the work on time. This type of people often act lazy in life.
Self-centered
is often at two extremes, or does not think about other people’s feelings at all, or cares too much about others’ views on themselves and seems to please others everywhere, and it is difficult to cooperate smoothly with others. Lack of responsibility, being cold to others, etc.
shows introverted
is afraid of being hurt because of insufficient sense of security, and will block yourself and avoid dealing with people. There are few or no friends, and most of the time except work and study are alone.
paranoid
stubborn personality, as the saying goes, "one stubborn". I am used to being attributive when encountering things, like to complain about others, be self-righteous, and do not listen to other people's opinions.
These personality traits will keep a person away from reality and be unable to vent his emotions reasonably when encountering problems, which can easily lead to psychological illness.
Of course, it does not mean that if you have the above personality traits, you will definitely get mental illness. We all know that the causes of mental illness are relatively complex and are the result of the joint action of multiple factors.
Although this is the case, if we try to change the less good parts of our personality, we can reduce the possibility of our mental illness.
"The country is easy to change, but nature is difficult to change", some people think that personality seems to be unchangeable. In fact, personality is not static, everyone's personality is malleable.
In fact, many people's personalities will change greatly at a certain stage in their lives, especially after experiencing some major events, such as some people becoming peaceful and calm after a serious illness, some people becoming open-minded after an accident such as a car accident, and starting to actively help others, etc.
So, it doesn’t matter what kind of personality you are now. The key is to recognize your own shortcomings and consciously adjust and change.
In fact, there is no so-called "perfect personality". Everyone's personality has its own unique advantages and flaws. I hope that after understanding our personality traits, we will correctly understand and accept ourselves, learn to regulate ourselves, make positive changes, and make our lives a growth process.
