Many people are familiar with the phrase "a kind of person", but not everyone is able to immediately give him a definition, although they themselves often use it.
Who is it? Interesting and extraordinary personality? Strange person with a "hello"? A person with a difficult character, difficult to communicate? Or the one who is far superior to others, and therefore it is almost impossible to find an approach to him? It should be sorted out.
Definition
A distinctive feature is the pronounced coloring of the personality, which makes it extraordinary. This is immediately noticeable. They say about a person who is so colorful, “He’s not like everyone else!”
And indeed it is. Moreover, colorful people rarely themselves describe themselves like that in people. In their hearts they, of course, feel this, but do not stick out. But those people who claim to be “not like everyone else” usually turn out to be completely ordinary. They just try to attract attention in this way, to feel a little more significant, to assert themselves.
So, the carrier of originality is still distinguished by unique personal qualities. In him, they appear on their own unique level, form a special bouquet. However, this is the case with every person. Just as there are no two identical snowflakes in nature, there are no absolutely identical characters. But only in a peculiar person these qualities form a truly unique “bouquet” that is very different from all the others.
One who does not fit into the framework
Such personalities always attract attention. The vast majority of people live, limiting themselves to some kind of framework that is usually imposed by society. Many follow some standards, stereotypes, exist according to patterns.
A kind of person is not like that. This is the one in whom other people see a colorful, unconventional image that is different from many others. He has a bright personality, a unique manner of behavior, a unique style and interesting thinking. And the lifestyle of such a personality of some is not something that is surprising - even shocking.
But he does not care. He lives as he likes, that's all. Perhaps someone will try to teach him life, change it, but this is only because his image does not fit into the template “world” of this person. Oddly enough, but not all people realize that there are individuals who live and think differently, and this is normal.
Stereotyped is the scourge of modern society, inexpressiveness and stereotypicity. And originality is a claim to uniqueness and uniqueness.
Unusual
Exclusivity, originality and rarity of a person are manifested at all levels. This includes physiology, and biology, and spirituality, and morality, and psychology.
But in the context under consideration, a peculiar person is one who perceives the information that surrounds him through his unique prism. This is influenced by his inherent views, attitudes, motives, needs, expectations, etc. All of the above from his youth affects the development of the uniqueness of his spiritual and psychological world.
Where does this originality come from in a person, what factors influence its formation? Surely many will say that education and training play a role here. But this is a very controversial statement. The beginning of the formation of identity is laid by the individual’s craving for self-knowledge - his emotions, feelings, personal attitude to the world. And of course, inner strength. Without it, making a person with a capital letter will not work.
Negative idiosyncrasy
It is necessary to make a reservation that uniqueness does not always manifest itself in a positive way. Quite often there are individuals who turn out to be peculiar in the negative meaning of this word.
How to understand a good person or a bad one? Very simple. Bad causes evil to those who do not deserve it, and for no reason. Often, just like that, or for your own fun.
Also, a bad person is emotionally indifferent to other people's troubles. Moreover, seeing a grief that has affected someone else, he will deliberately demonstrate his inhumanity - gloating, exacerbating the situation.
This is a peculiarity that would not have been better. And the term is too positive to characterize such persons. A person who considers cruelty, immorality, bloodthirstiness and vandalism as something ordinary for himself is not the same as everyone, to say the least. But he is not peculiar. He is a failure of the system, pus on the body of mankind, the destroyer of all that is good and bright.
Originality is freedom
It is worth returning to the positive. What does a peculiar person mean in the good understanding of this word? This is one who is originally free. He recognizes only himself, as well as what he considers important, valuable, necessary and correct. A peculiar person will never impose or prove anything to anyone. He does not need this, since he is in harmony with himself.
Such a person is open to new impressions and interesting experience, but he does not accept the notorious imposition. And therefore, it always suppresses communication with its sources, freeing itself from extraneous oppression.
And of course, he does not seek to be like anyone else. As mentioned earlier, this may shock someone, and this individual will try to change such a peculiar person.
What for? Then, that "one must be and live like everyone else." For some reason, many people think that standing out is bad. Unfortunately, such an attitude has long been embedded in the mentality and is often transmitted through education and training. People who think so will never be free and peculiar.
About external manifestations
Often the internal state is reflected in the visual image. A free man with original thinking does not hesitate to express himself externally. He doesn’t care how they look at his colored hair or tattoos, how they will comment on the fact that in winter he goes only in a T-shirt or year-round in the same sweater.
Sometimes, of course, something in the image can only be a follow of fashion. But not always. The appearance of unique people is a reflection of their soul, temperament and views. And it doesn’t matter how dressed and how exactly a peculiar person stands out. Whatever it is, he likes it. That's all.
About original thinking
Why be non-standard at all? To stop falling into the category of people who are gray and mediocre. If they like it, then let it go! But when a person has a desire to change, to become a little more unusual - this is a "bell".
Why do you need original thinking? Because it is an engine. Standard thinking relaxes the brain, leading to degradation. A person does not develop, does not receive food for thought, does not leave the comfort zone. Some even live "on the machine."
Be that as it may, the path to originality and broad thinking lies through diversity, new events, creativity and even risk. To become one of such people, you will have to learn to break your usual routine, to do what you never had to, read, develop.
In fact, everything is very simple - you just need to act. That's just a lot of laziness. Well, this is an individual matter. But whoever wants to will start. If there is a desire, both strengths and opportunities will appear.
