In our world, each person is unique in his own way. Different languages, different cultures and different diseases prevail in the countries of the world. But there are also such "diseases" that unite many personalities. For example, a heightened sense of justice. It will be discussed below.
How it manifests
How often do you meet perfectionists? Rarely? So, too fair people can be found more often. In the search for justice, some people can go far and harm many. Such individuals do not know how to be silent and want to be heard. They try to establish justice even when it does not concern them personally. But more often a person is outraged because his interests were hurt. The manifestation of a psychological defect, such as a heightened sense of justice, is manifested in the incontinence of character. A person will try to stay on top all the time, and in order to achieve his goal, a person can go to great lengths. But a person will not break the laws of morality or written laws. He alwayswill keep himself within the bounds of decency, as far as his upbringing will allow him to do this. Truth and justice for a person is always above all. The persona will resent people who embellish their stories with fiction, as well as those who cross the road at red lights.
Pros
But do not consider a heightened sense of justice a curse. Psychologists say that if a person’s consciousness is slightly corrected, severe nervousness can be removed, and the person will no longer divide the world into black and white. After all, people who want to live in justice have their advantages.
- A person will never act badly towards another. A person will always try on someone else's role for himself, and, thanks to this, he will understand what can and cannot be done.
- Person will not break the law and harm others. People with a heightened sense of justice are respectable citizens who observe not only state laws, but also moral laws.
- A person who honors justice will never lie. A person will make every effort to live according to his conscience, and will never gossip or slander.
Cons
But still, a heightened sense of justice is a kind of disease. A person who cannot come to terms with the imperfection of this world will suffer. In life, most people break the law, defend their rights and try to change the usual way of things. What are the disadvantages of the nature of peoplewith a heightened sense of justice?
- A person cannot argue with others. The conflict must always be resolved peacefully, finding a compromise. But a person who puts justice above all else lives without compromise. A person cannot agree with the opinion of another person if he does not consider her ideal.
- A person who loves justice will denounce everyone he knows. He will present information not in the form of gossip, but in the form of a statement of facts. But such a process can hardly be called pleasant.
- Patience is the problem of all people who cannot come to terms with the imperfection of the world. People are dissatisfied with their friends, colleagues, acquaintances, and sometimes a person can be offended even by weather conditions. Rapid mood swings make a person an unpleasant person.
Reasons
Someone might think that fighting for justice is an honorable mission. But if you look into the soul of a person, it becomes clear that he wants justice not from the best of intentions.
- Envy. A person who cannot come to terms with the injustice of the world is very envious. A person does not understand why he works with everyone on an equal footing, but receives less benefits than the rest. Or he may be dissatisfied with the fact that he works with a friend on equal terms, but for some reason the comrade receives large bonuses and is awarded various privileges. These thoughts haunt.
- Angry. There are no perfect people, and you should not count on the fact that you will like everyone around you withoutexceptions. It is quite normal to meet personalities that arouse antipathy in your soul. And if a normal person simply admits that someone is unpleasant to him, then a person with a heightened sense of justice will be angry with himself for not being able to love an unpleasant type.
- Resentment. Eternal resentment against others leads to the fact that a person begins to think that the world in relation to his person is unfair. It seems to him that those around him live better and get more benefits from this life.
- Guilt. A person who blames himself for other people's troubles will never be happy. People who are too fair cannot live normally, as something will embarrass them all the time.
The problem must be sought in childhood
How can people who suffer from a sense of heightened justice live? A person needs to do introspection or go to a psychotherapist. He needs to find out the root of the problem and understand how long ago justice became an obsession. Perhaps the child has lived without compromise since childhood, or perhaps obsessions began to arise at school when parents compared the baby with the rest of the children in the class. First you need to find the root of the problem, and then find the person who planted the root and fertilized it. Without the support of an adult, an exaggerated sense of justice would not have grown in the soul.
All kids divide the world into black and white, but growing up, they must understand that there are intermediate tones, like gray, which helps to make life interesting and unusual. People whorecognize only good and evil, get along poorly in this world. Therefore, having discovered a problem in your mind and understanding when the problem arose there, you need to gradually teach yourself to see in the world around you not two colors, but also different variations of these colors.
Learn to relax
Do you know a heightened sense of justice? What should a person who wants to get rid of such a character trait do? The simplest and most effective option is to learn to relax. What kind of people wind themselves up more than others? The ones who are constantly worried about something. Let go of the situation if you can't change it. Take it for granted that you have no control over everything that happens in this world. From time to time, you need to let your affairs take their course and trust the further development of events in the universe.
By letting go of your problems, a person gains a sense of peace of mind. A similar feeling appears when the head is free from extraneous thoughts. You can achieve a similar effect with the help of meditation or with the help of one of its techniques, namely, focusing on breathing. Try to live consciously and understand how your thoughts are born. Understanding the cause of your own dissatisfaction, it will be easier for you to deal with it.
Try breaking your own rules from time to time
A just man lives by the rules he has made up for himself. From time to time you need to step back from the foundations and check their strength. What can be violatedand what is not? You can be guided not by someone else's instructions, but by your own common sense. For example, a driver with a heightened sense of justice may constantly be judgmental of people who do not drive by the rules. Such a person needs to come up with a new road entertainment. Instead of spoiling his nerves, he can start listening to audio books or learning foreign languages in special courses designed for oral perceived information. Such a restructuring causes the human brain to perceive a familiar situation in a different way. A person will become more tolerant of the people around him and will treat those who break the law with greater understanding.
Step out of your comfort zone more often
A just person is cowardly in most cases. He can defend his rights, but he will live according to the established charter, prescribed from above. He will not oppose the way of life, as it is unusual for him. To change this passive approach, a person needs to step out of his comfort zone from time to time and do things that are unusual for him. For example, he can relax abroad, and not at his dacha, spend the weekend at a secular party, and not in front of the TV. A person must from time to time carry out actions that are not characteristic of him. If it turns out well, then each time he will more and more revise his worldview and process it.
Live your own life and don't follow others
A heightened sense of justice does not develop on its own. It is a mistake in raising a child. Parents who made the baby often look back atothers and compare his personality with those around him, crippled his mind. The kid can no longer evaluate his actions without looking at his neighbor. And of course, the child will be offended if the neighbor receives more than the rest for his efforts.
An adult who knows his problem should fight it. First of all, you need to give up the habit of looking back at others. It doesn't matter how or who works. What matters is how you work and whether you enjoy the process. If you are satisfied with your work, then you should not pay attention to the opinions of others. You should accept the fact that each person can have their own opinion about you. But that doesn't mean you should pay attention to it. Live without regard for others, this is how you will be able to become happier.
Don't look for idols
Do you have a heightened sense of justice? So, you probably have your own personal idol, which you are trying to imitate. The character can be real or fictional. Someone in childhood re-read fairy tales about Robin Hood, and someone always liked fairy tales where good triumphs over evil. Growing up, a person understood that he needed to look up to someone and chose some character as his ideal. But such an equation does not lead to anything good. A person is upset that he cannot repeat the fate of his ideal.
A person should compare himself not with a fictional character and not with a neighbor, but with himself. If in a year you have made a big breakthrough in the development of your personality relative to what happened last year, then consider this a success. Just like thataccomplishments to be proud of.
Think more with your head
People with a heightened sense of justice think in stereotypes. They do not independently decide what is good and what is bad. They take similar knowledge from fairy tales, books and stories of their parents. But you shouldn't trust anyone's word. Even indestructible truths should always be checked. Otherwise, a person can turn into a puppet in someone's hands. Think for yourself, make your own decisions based on the arguments that were made by you personally.
