You may find yourself in this article or recognize your friends and loved ones. Why is this useful? Finding out after the mask hides the man, it is easier to understand the reason for his words and deeds. At the same time, you will find out what mask you put on yourself to camouflage some of your thoughts.

I'm stupid, you have nothing to do

It is about the person who is always humbled and grounded. To any failure, he replies, "I'm stupid, what can you do to them?" Behind this statement lies a deep inferiority complex.

At the same time, through his attitude towards himself, he allows those around him to treat him as such. But this will not happen - the person will humble himself before others do.

Most often, this mask is a camouflaged form of defense against pain and disappointment. "It's better for me to make fun of myself than for others to cause me pain." Thus man will achieve his goal - he will be lonely, although loneliness does not drive away his suffering.

I'm a jokers

People who laugh and always make jokes. In this way, they try to confine themselves to the rest of the world. Every topic is ridiculed, even awkward or important topics are covered up by making jokes about them.

This protection mechanism protects him from conflicts - he joked and the problem was solved. It's just that he's wrong, the problem remains unresolved. Many may be surprised and even outraged that the humor is good. That's right unless it's a hysterical laugh, where you say there are other forms of conversation.

Anyone who is careful will see that joking people are afraid to get close to others.

I'm impassible

In any case, the person behaves like a Tibetan monk, keeping calm. Conflicts do not drive him crazy, and he remains in control of the situation - without emotions, shouts, hysterics - everything is under control. Earthquake? Is the deadline upset? Controls? Exams? That doesn't drive him crazy. But this shows calmness in a short time.

In this case, the emotions are camouflaged, they accumulate inside every day. That one day (most often in an unexpected situation for our monk) to explode, to come to the surface in a crisis of hysteria, accompanied by tears, shouts, and accusations. Most likely, it triggers a trifle, so be prepared, unless this person cools down from the eyes of the world.

I'm arrogant

Bullying (psychological persecution) always feeds us everywhere, regardless of age. In any collective, in any group of people, in any community, there will be people who will impose their rules of the game, more harshly or gently.

They give the impression of self-confident people who know what they want and where they want to go. But this mask camouflages a lack of self-confidence, in dire need of the approval of others. He needs so much acceptance and praise that he is ready to resort to extreme measures and sometimes overdo it.

The nice guy

He is a good man, nice and kind, we all speak kindly, I never interrupt you, he never expresses his opinion. Because they don't have it. Rather, they have it, of course, but it is an amalgam of other people's opinions. This may change several times during the day, depending on the circumstances. He will ask everyone for advice, nod, and thank them.

They are often influenced by the opinions of others, which can hurt them. They are vulnerable because there will always be people around who are unhappy with what you do, no matter how flexible you are.

The eternal martyr

He always saves everyone. You can't be a martyr if you don't help people! It would be good if he silently saved others. But they are not satisfied with that, they need the approval of those around them, of fame, that's why they tell those around them what difficulties they have to go through every day! Hour by hour! Let everyone know what their fate is.

If any misfortune happens, the martyr is always there! He needs to play a leading role in someone's drama. That's how they think they can find a place in life. At the same time, they do not hesitate to remind those who saved them: "Don't forget who you are sitting here and drinking coffee if it weren't for me, you now…"

So they receive their dose of gratitude. Rather, I take it out of people's tongues. No wonder it is very difficult to be with such "saviors".
