How to realize you’re starting to deteriorate: 6 key signs

What are the main signs that indicate that you are starting to regress and degrade, and what you should pay attention to in your behavior and in the actions of your loved ones.

Modern life makes us constantly improve – to master new specialties, to develop skills, to learn something new. But it happens that a person, or someone close to him, stops participating in this race, closes himself too much. Then the question arises not of development, but of the degradation of the person.

“In order not to fall into degradation, it is necessary to force yourself every day to work and cultivate. Start each morning with the question – What Can I change overall? And what can I change right now? And act on your own answers, ” the expert said.

There are a number of signs that indicate that a person is on the path of degradation.

Dichotomous thinking

This situation in which a person divides the world into “black” and “white”, people – into “their” or “foreign”, “good” or “bad”. This shows that man is at a standstill in his development, unable to perceive the new reality. Does not accept the opinion of other people, their positions and generally does not want to look at the situation from different sides. This shows that he lacks flexibility of thought. The lack of flexibility of thinking is, of course, degradation and regression.

This can also include regressive behavior. Infantile attitude when a person enters the phase of a capricious child and victim. He keeps saying that nothing depends on him. The world is big and he makes some decisions that don’t depend on him, “goes with the flow” and has no consequences from his choices.

There’s something bigger controlling it. A person transfers responsibility for his life to others: the state, parents, partner, etc.N. thus, he takes all responsibility from himself. And there’s always some figure that makes things in his life not work out the way he would have liked. The position of the victim also indicates that the person has developed dichotomous thinking.

Loss of interest in yourself

It doesn’t matter what he looks like, what he eats. He can walk around with dirty clothes and unwashed hair for weeks and not pay attention to it. This state is characteristic of the apathy that arises in a person who has entered a state of degradation.

Because degradation doesn’t just happen. It manifests itself most often when a person was disappointed in his life, did not care about what happened to him, or events in his daily life were too traumatic and a lot of unexpired feelings accumulated – dissatisfaction, etc.N. which brings him to this state. People no longer care what they are or what they look like. He ceases to be interested in his own development, personality, appearance and body.

Loss of interest in life

Loss of interest in communication and appearance of indifference, apathy, lack of desire to participate in the processes of other people’s lives. This happens because man simply does not have the energy to create, to act. Background apathy and other negative feelings, including dissatisfaction, further deprive the person of energy. Because holding on to feelings that you have not experienced takes a lot of energy and there is simply no energy left for interest in life.

Narrowing the circle of interests

Most often, interests close on some very simple actions that bring quick pleasure. A person has no desire to develop, to move forward, begins to avoid familiar people, does not want to contact New People. A person closes himself in some of his problems and ceases to be interested in the world around him, sinks into his illusions.

Pattern behavior

This option, in which a person chooses a well-trodden path known only to him. He doesn’t deviate from the program. Listen to the same music for years, follow the same route, watch the same TV series. He chooses all the time something the same, similar – it becomes his program, a “record” that is sealed. This situation shows that the person is closed and there can be no further development.

Withdrawal of dependence

Personal degradation begins with withdrawal from dependence. Or degradation becomes a step to hide from the terrible world that is frightening. These include addiction to opiates, food, promiscuous sex, alcohol, and smoking.

This does not apply to cases such as taking alcohol in the evening after the work week, which allows you to relax. But here you need to be very careful, as sometimes it is difficult to notice the limit when its reception turns into addiction and personality degradation.

If bad habits have passed into the category of addictions, it is important not to hesitate to seek help, because sometimes it is very difficult to get yourself out of such difficult situations. It is possible to seek qualified help from a psychologist or just get support from your loved ones and start solving your problems, then life will improve and you will want to become better.
