Accentuation is an overly pronounced predominance of one of the character traits. It does not matter how developed a person is as a person, but he seems unusual to others. What to do with this feature?
First you need to relax and stop doing active self-diagnostics. This article is for informational purposes only. You should not make a diagnosis based on this knowledge. Accentuation is a condition that a doctor should determine.
In addition, the concept of the norm is very vague. We constantly need to get used to everything under new conditions, establish the necessary connections, conflict with others, do our work, etc. In such situations, all the protective mechanisms of our body are constantly in a state of readiness.
In fact, accentuation is the extreme boundary of the norm. If circumstances are favorable, a person will gradually return to the necessary parameters; if not, pathology may form. This term was coined by Karl Leonhard. And it is believed that such a condition is just the ground for the development of psychopathic and neurotic changes. Accentuation can also increase the risk of nervous breakdowns.
Lichko A.E., a Russian professor and physician, relying on data from prominent scientists, introduced his own classification of accentuations. This system is adapted to the mentality of our compatriots. Weaknesses were identified for each type — situations that are extremely difficult for such a person to cope with.
It is very important to notice the accentuation of adolescents and take action in time. To do this, you need to be attentive to children and record their behavior with peers and adults. It is important to note whether a teenager is able to express and control his emotions, notice his interests and pay attention to focusing on some character trait.
However, if you yourself look at the types of accentuation, the test may be unreliable. Everyone has certain shifts. For example, frequent mood swings, the desire to stay in the spotlight, the inability to concentrate on solving a simple problem, etc. This happens to everyone and is often associated with both physical and emotional state. Therefore, do not rush with the diagnosis and do not worry. Always consider that environmental and external factors influence you.
Take your condition and the well-being of your loved ones seriously. This will help you solve many problems that may arise due to critical evaluations of others, misunderstandings and other factors. If the features of temperament and character are noticed in time, this can help in choosing the right lifestyle, the direction of future activities, which will not only allow you to earn, but also bring a deep sense of self-satisfaction and pride in your achievements.
If you doubt that your condition is normal, or fear for loved ones, you should not escalate the situation. Try to contact a specialist. If you are worried about the well-being of your family, visit a doctor first. Perhaps you do not have cause for concern, and imaginary accentuation - these are just the consequences of the stress.
