There are four weaknesses in human nature that almost no one can avoid

Everyone has a side they don't know about. We have to accept not only our good, but also our bad.

What should we, as people, think about our own power? Are we strong or weak? In fact, human nature itself is weak, the so-called strong is the result of our efforts. In other words, if we don't work hard to overcome our weaknesses, then we can hardly become strong. Psychological research has found that there are many unavoidable weaknesses when people are growing up. Even a man of mature mind has come out of these weaknesses. How a person views his own weakness determines his acceptance of himself. Admitting our weaknesses sometimes gives us the upper hand.

Four common human weaknesses

Desire for control

People who lack trust feel a need for control, as if everything must be in their own hands in order to feel secure. When you're dealing with people, you want them to do what you want them to do. You unconsciously reveal your power over others, which seems to be the only thing that makes you feel safe. In fact, too much control has to do with an underlying sense of distrust. You are reluctant to ask for help, even if you have to do it yourself. As far as you're concerned, you can't trust people. No matter how insignificant, you will feel confident and secure only when you have it firmly in your hands. When things get out of hand, you can get flustered and anxious.

The heart is sensitive and fragile

Whether introverted or extroverted, there is always a vulnerable and sensitive side inside. It's like what we were like as children, in need of love and fear of abandonment. As a sensitive and vulnerable person, in the face of the same thing, others will be indifferent, but your reaction will be particularly fierce. It's not about you, it's about the difference. Some people's perception of things is very wooden, some people's perception of things is very keen. There is no right or wrong in nature, but because your sensitivity is always not understood, you have doubts about yourself. You suppress your sensitive feelings and become more vulnerable and even scarred.

Attachment to things

Everyone has an attachment to something they believe in, whether it's a person or a job. Your inner understanding of the relationship goes beyond the relationship itself. You need friends, but not in the normal sense. You feel that others don't understand you, that you are always ignored and left out. In fact, it's because you have an intimate attachment, and if someone doesn't treat you well enough, they treat you badly. This "all or nothing" perception leads you to have no friends. You are not a person who can tolerate loneliness, and you crave people's attention. But you need someone who can put up with you like a mom, which is hard for other people to do.

Use reason to escape emotion

A lot of people grow up without immediate attention. They are often on the verge of emotional breakdown, and then find that they can escape emotion through reason. As a rational person, always give people a cold impression. You don't like to think in terms of emotion, which in your opinion is fallible. It's hard for others to get close to your heart, because you always refuse others' kindness. For you, the only way to be safe is to be rational. On a psychoanalytic level, you have a strong personality. In the bones of the desire to prove themselves, there is always a better than their own people to compare. For you, sensibility is your weakness. In order not to expose your weakness, you are always in restraint, patience, with all kinds of rules and restrictions to constrain yourself.

What do these weaknesses mean?

To grow fixedly

Do you feel disappointed in yourself when you see your so-called weakness? Do you feel like you're so bad, so bad? In fact, everyone in the growth process, will not be smooth sailing. According to developmental psychology, at a certain age, people's cognition and maturity should be upgraded. But in reality, because of some setbacks and adversity, we have growth fixation. By sessile, the individual stays at this stage, unable to develop tasks at the next stage. For example, some people are reluctant to fall in love because they stay in the early stage. If this stage is not satisfied, the next stage will not develop.

The core force that leads growth

Although these weaknesses are a hindrance to our growth, they are the core strength that drives our growth. The so-called core strength, whether you work, study or social interaction, is inseparable from the core strength of the drive. Sometimes these core forces don't seem to be popular, as the pursuit of wealth or fame may sound unpalatable. But there is no denying that these ideas, which are not easy to accept, are the core strength of our hearts. Learn to accept our true thoughts, but learn to realize our inner needs in the form of rationalization. This process requires wisdom and flexible ways to achieve self-actualization.

A weakness, but also a real need

People aren't afraid of things they don't care about, and when you're afraid of something, it's often the thing that's closest to you and that you care about the most. These weaknesses in us are our real needs. People who crave a sense of control need to create an inner sense of security. The real need of a fragile, sensitive person is a sense of belonging and identity. Sometimes people do unrelated things in order to avoid their own weaknesses. Instead of meeting your real needs, it's a waste of your time and energy. Face your weaknesses. They are the shortcuts to growth

To sum up, everyone has a dark side. We have to accept not only our good, but also our bad. Learn to balance the contradiction between the two, can grow smoothly.
