Hello dear readers! Today we will consider what the astheno-neurotic type of personality accentuation is. We will find out its strengths and weaknesses, and also find out what to do in order to make the most of the opportunities that it has.
Childhood
Astheno-neurotic is easy to recognize from childhood. Such children usually do not sleep well, that is, they fall asleep for a long time, and then toss and turn from side to side, not allowing either the adults who care for them or themselves to rest.
Plus, they are also afraid of the dark, all sorts of monsters, rustles. In the middle of the night, they may wake up in horror because of a terrible dream and then refuse to close their eyes until the morning, until fatigue takes over.
There is also trouble with appetite, it is difficult to feed them, you usually have to either persuade or force them. Trouble adds tearfulness, vulnerability. You have to be careful in handling them. Otherwise, any little thing can cause a stream of tears, resentment.
Due to this emotional instability, some children of this type develop enuresis, that is, they pee in bed in their sleep. Especially after tense, stressful situations.
Also, children of the astheno-neurotic type are prone to hypochondria. That is, they carefully listen to their bodily sensations, fearing to get sick with an incurable disease.
Therefore, parents constantly complain about various ailments, ask many questions about health in general.
By the way, directly hypochondria in most cases is the main cause of enuresis, in addition to stress.
Getting used to increased attention, or needing it, if adults are not as caring as he would like, he unconsciously ceases to control the process of urination during sleep.
Usually, all of the above signs weaken with the onset of puberty. Although there are times when, on the contrary, they are fully manifested.
Such children are the most obedient patients, as they are not capricious during examination, they gladly agree to various procedures and inpatient treatment.
Even injections are done with pleasure, because they are beneficial and will help you recover, live longer. But at the same time they are afraid of blood, so much so that they lose consciousness, it is worth noticing a drop somewhere.
General characteristics
Personalities with this accentuation of character are constantly tired, they are irritable and quick-tempered. They can suddenly be rude for an insignificant reason, and then ask for forgiveness for incontinence. And sincerely, with tears, even kneeling.
They do not like mental work, preferring to work physically. Only moderately, without stress, after all, one should not forget about hypochondriacal inclinations.
Protect your health like the apple of your eye. Therefore, they are regular customers of various medical institutions.
Most often, the heart is subjected to diagnostics, which, according to them, malfunctions and can not withstand tension and stress at any time.
If the doctors deny the presence of diseases, in the occurrence of which the astheno-neurotic is firmly convinced, he will not calm down, but will go looking for other specialists. So to speak, «real», which will confirm his fears.
Any change in the body is perceived with horror, sometimes experiencing a panic attack. For example, if you lose weight, it means that the body is in danger, because exhaustion begins, which will lead to death. If he recovered, then the organs and systems began to work differently, unable to cope with the load, which also threatens with a fatal outcome.
If they fall into the hands of a medical reference book, they will definitely find in themselves the presence of absolutely all the diseases that are indicated in it.
They do not like the morning, as they usually feel sleepy, “broken”. Subsequently, a bad mood affects communication with loved ones who fall under the “hot hand”.
They prefer to be alone most of the time, as they quickly get tired of companies. Although they are quite friendly, they simply cannot withstand a large amount of information.
Disciplined, efficient and flexible. Self-esteem is a little underestimated, the effect is that they perceive themselves as quite unhealthy people, as it were, not like the rest, but somewhat worse.
Therefore, in conflict situations, they do not defend themselves, they do not protect themselves. At meetings and group meetings, they are silent so as not to stand out from the crowd.
Despite diligence, they may show forgetfulness, low activity, which borders on lethargy.
Recommendations
- You should not create situations in which such a person will have to compete with other people. His reactions to competition are not the same as most, that is, he will give up in advance. Even without having time to join the battle. Therefore, when choosing a job, competitive interviews should be avoided. And in a relationship, do not provoke jealousy.
- When raising a child with this accentuation of character, it is necessary to use praise, that is, only the “carrot method”. When criticized, he will withdraw into himself, get upset, and this, by no means, will help motivate him to study and, in general, any activity. Praise him, thank him, and then he will strive to win even more attention and love with his actions.
- Also, when choosing a job, it is necessary to take into account the fact that it does not withstand a large number of people. He needs a separate space to perform tasks, as well as a limited circle of people with whom he will contact.
- It is important to think over the mode of work and rest, in no case allowing the appearance of excessive fatigue. Otherwise, he will fall out of the general process for a long time, feeling unwell due to the appearance of various diseases.
- It is better to avoid watching films and news that show sick people, moments of disasters, operations, and so on. They can become so emotionally involved that they lose their peace.
