Characterological antinomy: The gap between external behavior and internal world
Characterological antinomy is a term that describes the contradiction between a person’s external behavior and his inner world. This phenomenon can occur due to various reasons such as social expectations, cultural norms, personal fears and desires.
Often people hide their true feelings and emotions to conform to social expectations or to protect themselves from possible negative consequences. For example, a person may smile and act friendly in public, but feel angry or frustrated inside. Or, conversely, hide your positive emotions so as not to seem too naive or emotional.
Characterological antinomy can lead to various problems, both for the person himself and for his environment. For example, internal conflict can cause anxiety, depression, or other psychological problems. Additionally, if people cannot understand what is going on inside other people, it can lead to misunderstandings and conflicts in relationships.
To overcome the characterological antinomy, it is important to learn to recognize and understand your own emotions and feelings, as well as respect the emotions of other people. This can help improve the quality of interpersonal relationships and create a healthier, more supportive environment for everyone.
In conclusion, characterological antinomy is a serious problem that can arise in any person. However, understanding and respecting your own and others' emotions can help overcome this problem and create healthier and more harmonious relationships.
