Portrait psychotype

We all come from childhood. The man of mood, however, differs from the rest in that he remained in his childhood. His soul is the soul of a child, it is bright, sincere, spontaneous and naive.

In childhood, these children often suffered from infectious diseases: constant sore throats, colds, chronic pneumonia, there could be rheumatism, cholecystitis and other not terrible, but unpleasant things. They were not seriously ill, but a prolonged and repeated form led to the fact that they were always with someone from their loved ones who loved them. To be a little naughty, to play a little — it was nice to babysit such a child. The child was loved and answered the same.

He was cute from childhood: he ran to his mother, so mentally buried himself in her, hiding his eyes, and cuddled up, hugging … He complained, even tears came to his eyes! But what is most pleasant, quickly comforted by warm mother’s words. And burst into a smile…

They coddled him, caught the slightest change in his mood and well-being, and he began to do the same. And, having matured, he became an eternal nanny to himself, dearly beloved. It seems that he liked to swim in a bright childhood, and he did not begin to leave for an adult, independent and responsible life.

And now, every time, every minute, this glorious big child allows himself to feel what he wants: when — to rejoice, when — to be capricious or sad. This is his lifestyle, and finding reasons for any mood if desired is so easy!

Inopportunely it began to rain, a trolley bus drove off in front of the nose, and then a button came off — the mood was spoiled. A pretty girl stood next to me, the sun came out, on the gray asphalt I saw a stunningly orange orange peel — the soul sings, I want to love everyone. Everything is easy: because the next time he wants to be sad and feel sorry for himself, he will find reasons for this “at once”.

Like a sincere child, he really experiences everything, from the soul and into the whole body: he easily loses sleep and appetite, his ability to work and just his state of health change dramatically. The mood has changed, the world is changing. He is on the rise — life is beautiful, he loves everyone and admires everything. He’s not in a good mood, which means everything is bad, people are reptiles, and he himself is a fool.

He lives not with his head, but with his heart, and his heart rarely fails him. He is intuitive, and, getting to know people, he instantly feels a real attitude towards himself.

What’s worse is that he also instantly and sincerely reacts to him …

Nevertheless, the people around him, and especially those close to him, treat him with sincere sympathy: after all, in his soul he is a kind and warm person, he is not envious, not arrogant, grateful, appreciates a good attitude towards himself, open and cordial in communication.

At work, he is just as pleasant and sweet, but if you need to work there, then he is essentially useless. Smiling bewilderedly or ruefully imagining himself, he will guiltily talk about the next circumstances, sincerely sigh and promise that this is the last time — but you know that the business he failed is not the first and not the last.

Such people do not set themselves big tasks in life and, as long as life takes care of them, they live easily, catching the sun and sometimes fluttering like a leaf in the wind. However, they endure real losses hard, and in difficulties one cannot rely on them: they are not used to fighting. They can only worry and cry.

It seems that at any age they believe that if they cry for a long time and bitterly, someone Very Big and Kind will definitely come and comfort them… See Man-Child
