The mind of an anancástico almost never gets rest. They call it the perfectionist syndrome, but in reality the most common personality disorders are included within one , where the feeling of having each area and detail of our life under control falls into the abyss of an unhealthy obsession. On the contrary, the life of an anancastic person is not easy, because in this chaotic and unpredictable world, we can rarely have under our control every blade, every detail, color, every person that draws our daily life.
Today we invite you to know a little more this type of personality.
The anancastic personality and the fear of mistakes
Mistakes are part of our lives and help us to learn, but people with an ananstastic personality type, see failures, misunderstandings or imperfections as a real frustration, like a crank that can make them fall into depression. Let's see for example what caracaterísticas describe this type of disorder:
They are extremely thorough and perfectionist. You can spend hours and hours doing something to make it look your best. But they seldom do it, so the feeling of frustration is almost constant. His obsession with perfection lies not only in his work, or in a project they can take, it also extends to the most everyday things: his clothes, the food and the way of presenting it, the order in the house , his appearance ...
They are very responsible, exquisite and usually courteous people, so much so that sometimes they can bother those around them.
They are very controlling, both in their own things and in those of others. And, be careful, because if they are demanding of themselves, they are also demanding of other people, which is why it is so complicated to establish a relationship with this type of personalities.
They tend to have a very exaggerated sense of justice .
They become very obsessed with what other people may think of them. The comments affect them considerably.
In the life of an anancastic personality, there are no middle terms. Either it is white or it is black, there are no nuances, only extremes.
They tend to be quite negative, always anticipate things in a very fatalistic way.
They live constantly frustrated , unable to fit into a world so complex, imperfect and full of nuances that always escape their control.
Who usually suffer more in this ananstic personality?
It usually characterizes more men than women . This type of obsessive disorders appear more in the masculine gender, and, according to the experts tell us, sometimes the educational pattern and the environment may have some weight. They tend to appear in adulthood, causing great frustration and anxiety in the person. Each person lives it in a way, and presents, in turn, a more or less intense degree of this syndrome, hence they may be able to carry more or less a normal life or on the contrary, need a pharmacological and psychological help .
It is not easy to fit into a life as flexible and unpredictable as it is today. There are many people who usually suffer from this type of disorder, where unhappiness is aggravated by the perception that they also make unhappy those around them. But it can be treated, they can go back and learn to be a little more flexible, more permissive with themselves and with others. Although surely, at the time of eating with them, it is possible that they keep ordering millimetrically the diners.
