What could be worse than death? That's right, personality degradation. No one can escape death, and it will overtake everyone in due time. Anyone can fight degradation, but it is difficult for many to find a desire for this job. In this article, we will talk about the causes and signs of this terrible disease.
Signs
Degradation of personality does not come instantly. You can think of it as walking down a ladder. You can, of course, roll head over heels, but this rarely happens to anyone. Usually people go down step by step, consciously walking along each landing. First, a person falls into depression, the light does not seem nice to him, and life loses its meaning. This is followed by anger at others, especially those who do not agree with the person's opinion.
An individual cannot get joy from life, so he starts looking for it at the bottom of the bottle. Things get really bad from this: the family collapses, they are expelled from work and friends turn away. Going down the stairs, it will be difficult to climb up. But of course it's possible. Andremember that those who once found themselves at the bottom can easily repeat the experience they already have.
Dependencies
Why does personality degradation happen most often? From all sorts of addictions. If a person cannot control his habits, how can he take control of his life? Getting rid of addictions is difficult, and sometimes it is simply impossible.
Alcoholic personality degradation is the most common. Relatives try to treat their loved ones with coding or modern drugs. But this will not help if a person consciously does not want to change. And what does it take to make a person want to change something? Motivation is needed. That's what you need to inspire the patient, and not try to cure him with pills.
It is impossible to fight drug addiction with the help of suggestion. More serious methods of influence are needed here. Today, there are many clinics that can take patients in the early stages of degradation.
In addition to serious addictions, there are also those that especially do not spoil life, but do not help a person develop in any way. These include love for tobacco, sweets, fast food, etc. If a person understands that he cannot live a day without something, then this is an addiction, and you need to get rid of it.
Narrow social circle
When does personality degradation occur? When a person closes in on himself and stops communicating. In order for a person to develop normally, they need others around them. Normal persondaily contact with at least a dozen people. He can meet them on the street, in a store, on public transport or at work. And if a person leads a reclusive life, does not answer calls and messages, then degradation will not take long. But it is not necessary to cut ties with all people.
Degradation will occur even when a person's social circle is stable for several years. Meeting the same faces every day and hearing the same thoughts from them, a person will not develop and, as a result, will begin to degrade.
Depression
Problems of personality degradation begin with a bad mood. If you become depressed and cannot find a way out of it on your own, you should consult a doctor. Otherwise, you can accumulate a lot of psychological problems. People with low self-esteem are more prone to degradation. Why? The fact is that they are accustomed to blaming themselves for all their troubles. Therefore, they may even find some pleasure in the process of self-flagellation. They will not have time to go for a walk or read at their leisure.
Why do this if the world is gray and dull. And the house is cozy and warm. You can always put yourself a nice movie and forget yourself in a fictional reality. And it's okay if such breakdowns are rare. But if you don’t want to go out anywhere and communicate with anyone for a week, this is already a depression that needs to be urgently treated.
Life's difficulties
Spiritual degradation of personalitycan start with some kind of trouble or even personal tragedies. A person may lose a parent or a lover. Yes, in this situation it is difficult not to fall into depression. But it should be understood that everything in life is changeable, and the pain may never completely subside, but it will definitely become less acute over time. If you do not try to survive your grief, but bathe in it, you will soon feel degradation. Such a person withdraws into himself, begins to drink, and his moral standards plummet. This state of affairs should not be tolerated. You should love and protect yourself.
The series of problems that come to life one after another is never accidental. And if a person does not cope with difficulties, he can dig into them. You should always understand that life is a game. The easier it is to perceive, the easier and happier the days will flow.
Away from work
What signs of personality degradation can be seen in those who have retired? Most of these people lose interest in life. They stop doing daily mental work and eventually begin to degrade. Have you ever thought about the fact that some pensioners at the age of 65 can already perceive information poorly, while others are still able to design houses or planes. The difference between them is that the former, having retired, perceive life as a protracted vacation. They walk, watch TV and travel. To strain the brain seems to them too energy-consuming task. That is why, like any muscle that a person does not use, the brain begins toatrophy. This process occurs most quickly among those people who possessed a small stock of knowledge and skills. But not only the elderly suffer degradation. It affects young people who for a long time cannot find a job and self-determination.
Boring life
The process of personality degradation can begin in those people for whom monotony is the norm of life. Such individuals do not see the difference between the next week and the previous one. One day is like another. Such people have no family, they rarely see friends, and work does not force them to overstrain. Such gray everyday life sucks, and it is difficult to get out of them.
A person's comfort zone narrows, and sometimes he doesn't want to change his menu, let alone build a new route to work. What does degradation look like for such people? You can't tell from the outside that the person has changed. He still walks, talks and does his job. But he can not sparklingly joke, avoids innovation and does not want to change anything. And if something in life goes wrong, a person begins to become hysterical, which then develops into depression. It's hard to help. He himself must make a strong-willed decision and change his life and his habits day by day.
Environment
Social degradation of personality is a terrible thing. The true proverb "with whom you will lead from that and you will gain" speaks for itself. Getting into a society where people are lower than you in intellectual development, you will soon be able to feel your degradation. It's hard for one person to pull outmore than three people. So, if you understand that your environment does not help your development, but puts spokes in your wheels, immediately run away from such a company.
People can justify their actions with concern. But it will be like an alcoholic club. If one person says that he is finished, everyone else will stubbornly offer him a drink. Why? People think that if he succeeded, then they can succeed. But in order to change a habit, you need to work hard, and not everyone wants to do this.
Prevention
If you want degradation to not overtake you, you must follow the following rules:
- Do sports. It may seem strange to link exercise and cognitive function. Sports increase blood flow to the head, which means that the brain is enriched with oxygen. No wonder our ancestors said that a he althy mind is in a he althy body.
- Solve logic puzzles. If you have five minutes to spare, do the crossword puzzle. You do not like such tasks? Then you can get together in the evening with friends and play danetki. These interesting logical tasks will help you think outside the box. Such tasks train thinking, logic and memory well.
- Prioritize a book over TV. Looking at fast-changing pictures dulls a person. While the book loads the head with knowledge. It is up to you to decide what you want to get in the future - degradation or developed intelligence.
Life is too short to waste it on gray everyday life. If your routine sucks your mind, get out of town on the weekends. Travel, find a new hobby, have fun or read. Most importantly, make sure that life does not turn into a "Groundhog Day".
