Character determines destiny. From the same starting point, a thousand people can take a thousand and one paths.
Similarly, personality can also determine your physical health. People with a lively and cheerful personality will still eat delicious food when they live to be a hundred years old, just like Yu Zeqin, the centenarian grandma who is an internet celebrity.
And those who are depressed and angry may have problems early on, such as breast nodules , thyroid nodules , stomach problems... and even cancer .
Because those suppressed bad emotions are remembered by the body until one day in the future, they suddenly burst out and overwhelm the body.
So, which personality type is the most dangerous in personality classification? How do bad emotions affect the body?
In personality classification, type C personality is called "cancer personality", and its name is also taken from the first letter of "Cancer".
People with this kind of personality are also the ones most likely to have their physical health affected by their emotions.
Type C personality is often very introverted, not talkative, and finds it difficult to refuse other people's requests, and suppresses all negative emotions in their hearts:
is obviously very angry when something happens, but is afraid or embarrassed to show off, and can only sulk;
Although I am very resistant in my heart, I can't say no, I can only reluctantly accept things I don't like;
I am easily nervous when there are many people, and I am afraid that I will make a fool of myself or do something wrong;
But when others ask , they will still smile and say: I’m fine.
Such people have been depressed for a long time and have nowhere to release their bad emotions. Over time, it will affect their health. Studies have shown that people with type C personality have a tumor incidence rate that is more than three times higher than that of the average person.
But don’t worry, type C personality is not the same as cancer, because there are multiple factors that induce cancer, and emotion and personality are just one of many factors.
Some negative emotions in life may change our body immunity.
Take anger as an example. A study by Harvard University in the United States found that just recalling your own angry experience will suppress the function of the immune system for up to 6 hours.
What is more harmful to your health than being angry may be that when you are angry, you still choose to hold back your anger.
Because when the body is in a stressful state such as anger or anger, it will secrete excessive amounts of cortisol , epinephrine and norepinephrine, and release "please be ready to fight" to the body.
If you forcefully hold back the anger at this time, in addition to the destruction of immunity, the body will also suffer these injuries:
Affect digestive function
Emotional stress will affect gastric acid secretion, increasing the incidence of peptic tract ulcers.
At the same time, the loss of appetite caused by always holding your breath and repeated anger may also change regular eating habits, and over time may lead to chronic gastritis and other digestive tract diseases.
Endocrine disorders
Anger and rage can cause extensive neuroendocrine fluctuations, including changes in estrogen , progesterone , insulin , glucagon and other changes.
Especially for women, being in this state for a long time is more likely to cause problems such as irregular menstruation , breast nodules, and ovarian cysts.
triggers a series of negative emotions
"The more you think about it, the angrier it becomes." When you think about it in the dead of night, instead of resolving your anger, you will feel aggrieved, disappointed, and even depressed, anxious and other emotions, which accumulate and become serious emotional problems.
Therefore, suppressing emotions may bring peace in the short term, but as time goes by, it may cause damage to the body's health.
It is really difficult to change your personality. For example, you are easily nervous, will not refuse, and have always been a "good old guy"...
So, since we can't change, then we should try our best to learn to control it. Whenever we are angry, angry, or in a bad mood, don't Fall into the whirlpool of negative emotions, and release it in a way you can accept, such as:
Divert your attention: When your anger level soars, immediately leave the environment that makes you angry. Go eat something you like, play something you like, or just take a nap and let out your anger gently.
Find someone to talk to: If diverting your attention cannot alleviate it, you can talk to relatives and friends, cry loudly, or find a "tree hole" to shout out... Don't hold it in yourself, let it out when it's time.
Look at the problem from another angle: When you have to face some problems and you can't talk to others, then pull yourself away and look at the causes and consequences from an objective perspective. Maybe things will become simpler and more transparent.
Finally, if you really can’t get relief, you must give yourself a strong psychological hint and tell yourself: I won’t be angry when others are angry, and there will be no one to take care of me when I get angry...
