13 signs of an inadequate person. Signs by which it can be assumed that a person is inadequate are individual, depend on the type of personality, character, type of higher nervous activity. But still there are certain features that make it possible to suspect an inadequate person and further confirm this assumption. Our task is to identify the inadequate as early as possible, preferably even before the start of communication with the person, in order to then correct their behavior and be prepared for the fact that this person may behave unpredictably or try to create problems. Do you know why a person behaves inappropriately? So, what features of inadequate behavior should we note: 1) Unexpectedly and unpredictably reacts to the actions and words of others. 2) Twitches, shows signs of anxiety, rushes about, often changes posture, facial expression. 3) Excessively emotional, too brightly colored speech, "theatrical" intonations. 4) Active gestures, playing "one-man theatre". 5) Inability to listen to others: a person expresses his opinion, often inappropriate, interrupts interlocutors, does not listen to their point of view. 6) Fancy, often flashy clothes. Marginal style, mismatched colors. 7) Inappropriate style of clothing for the institution or event (for example, a person in a T-shirt and shorts, who came to a business meeting or official reception). 8) Fancy hairstyle or hair dyed in a bright color. 9) Tattoos, piercings, many rings on the fingers, earrings in the ears of men. 10) The use of "criminal" expressions in speech ("purely concrete", "without a bazaar"). 11) Unnecessarily abstruse statements out of place, in simple communication(for example, in an everyday conversation, such an inadequate person can say “relying on the basic foundations of our constructive dialogue with you, I draw a representative conclusion about the following conclusions”). The complex grammatical construction is completely out of place, it looks ridiculous and funny. 12) Pay attention to the person's car, if possible. Cars with tinted windows, loud music, hung spoilers, sills, fenders and other decorative elements are a sign of an often inadequate car owner. 13) People with medical education can notice in a person a number of symptoms characteristic of mental illness, such as epileptoid personality traits, the symptom complex of a psychoorganic syndrome, schizophrenoid traits. But a person who is not connected with medicine is unlikely to be able to navigate this. Remember, when communicating with a person, you should be careful: note not only what he says to you, but also how he does it, with what intonation, facial expressions, what words he chooses. Pay special attention to the little things, including the posture of the interlocutor, the position of the hands, whether he is twitching or calm. The more information you have about the interlocutor, the more accurate your conclusions about him will be. In any case, do not jump to conclusions before making a decision, evaluate all the facts you have. If we are talking about a business partnership with a person whose adequacy is in doubt, give him a subtle check that will help you draw the necessary conclusions and avoid serious problems. There are no absolute criteria for an inadequate person: each of the listed “symptoms” can only be a personality trait. However, in extreme manifestations, these features lead to the development of inadequate behavior. Therefore, you must approach the assessment of the available facts and data individually in each case.

What means " inadequate person". Criteria of inadequacy?

1. An inadequate person is when a person's emotions, reactions and behavior do not correspond to the existing circumstances or situation. Inadequacy - the degree of inexplicability and inconsistency of the actions of the individual. Inconsistency of the model of his behavior with known models of behavior in similar conditions. For example, schizophrenia is characterized by emotional inadequacy, that is, strange and incomprehensible emotional reactions to external events, or a lack of reactions to events that should have caused them. In ordinary life, inappropriate behavior is observed in people suffering from psycho-neurological pathology, alcohol and drug addiction, and also in adolescence in the form of deviant behavior (behavior deviating from social norms behavior), in case of ineffective realization of the need for communication (isolation or excessive talkativeness), in violation of the usual way of life (for example, moving to another country, death of a loved one) or daily routine (daily work, night shifts).
   Simply put, inadequate is everything that does not correspond to the usual, known and accepted as the norm of manifestation.
2. Alcoholism makes a person inadequate. You need to drink less, then no one will consider an inadequate person
3. Inadequate person - oh don't care, and so they already wrote)
4. take frivolous questions seriously
5. In orphanages, shelters, centers, difficult situations constantly arise between the management, educators and pupils, which goes without saying: teenagers are there because of problematic and inappropriate behavior. There are fights, teenagers run away, there are thefts and other crimes.
   To work with adolescents, specialists must distinguish between the concepts of incident and crisis. Let's discuss five basic principles that are important to use during crises and incidents. We will talk about how to reduce tension using non-verbal behavior. And then about the methods of stopping and refracting inappropriate behavior.
   Incidents are situations in which one or more adolescents (persistently) exhibit inappropriate behavior(temporary), violating the daily routine. Inadequate behavior, which consists, for example, in non-compliance with the instructions of the group leadership, educators, is burdensome, but it can be stopped or broken with a certain persistence. In this case, we are not yet talking about threats or aggression of a physical nature.
   Crisis situations are situations in which one or more adolescents persistently exhibit inappropriate behavior that breaks the daily routine, as well as situations in which individuals are threatened and / or attacked.
   BASIC PRINCIPLES

   During incidents and crises, five basic principles are important: 1) the daily routine is preferred; 2) drastic measures are taken from the very beginning; 3) the teenager receives information about what skills he needs; 4) ask for help and separate roles; 5) the personal safety of others is given priority. Let's look at each of these principles in more detail.
   Preference is given to the daily routine of the day. In case of violation or breakage of the daily routine, pupils who are not directly involved in the incident or crisis will not be able to do their usual activities, as they are used to. This increases the likelihood of inappropriate behavior.
   For this reason, in incidents or crises, preference should be given to creating a working situation, which is achieved by restoring the daily routine of the day. In some cases, this will lead to the fact that the interests of other pupils will be observed to the detriment of the interests of the adolescent involved in the crisis or incident.
   Giving preference to the observance of the daily routine, educators, group leaders, of course, do not disregard the teenager involved in the crisis or incident. First, the group leader ensures that the daily routine is continued, and then draws attention to this teenager.
   From the very beginning, drastic measures are being taken. Behavior is rarely one independent event, more often it consists of a chain of actions that includes various links. With inadequate behavior, the severity of deviations in behavior often increases along the chain. Most often, incidents and crises can be prevented by intervening at the very beginning in the chain of behavior, using feedback or instructions.
   Making sure the teen doesn't break the expanding chain aggressive behavior need to act quickly. Impending incidents and crises almost never disappear on their own if you take a wait-and-see attitude.
   The teenager receives information about what skills he needs. Incidents and crises often provide an opportunity to see which tasks are particularly difficult for some teenagers and which skills they lack. Using the concept of skills, it is very important at this point to explain the adolescent's behavior that triggered the incident or crisis.

7. I don’t consider myself, but other people think so. And they say the wrong things about me. And I don’t bother myself with this, I continue the path in life. to dream.
8. I understand this definition as follows, Inadequate is a person whose behavior is not understood by the people around him, and the inadequate does not consider himself inadequate, but rather considers those around him to be inadequate and does not understand and does not want to share his way of thinking, style, behavior, values , outlook, hobbies. That is, the inadequate was simply unlucky in this case, he simply ended up in the wrong place, at the wrong time, in the wrong society where he was not interested. He is there like a white crow. A completely normal person is inadequate, he just has not yet found his entourage of associates, his place under the sun, he often feels bad where he is considered this inadequate, which is why he throws out a challenge to the public with his behavior, style, manners, or vice versa, quietly hide.

   Criteria:
   A peculiar style of clothing that you do not understand and would never wear.
   Hairstyle, or the absence of it at all, which you also don’t understand
   The way of thinking, what he says you consider nonsense or you don’t understand it at all
   Defiant, specific manners of behavior or their general absence at first glance, which you also do not understand or annoy you
   Sometimes the social circle is also incomprehensible personalities or the absence of this circle is also indistinct
   His hobbies or, as it were, their absence are also incomprehensible to you
   He seems to be alive in his peculiar, sometimes closed or open world, which is also not clear to you.

   That is, you do not understand him, he annoys you or you do not understand him, he is interesting to you.

   When you simply don't understand (don't want to understand) the inner world of this person, that's why he seems "inadequate" to you.
   And you don't have to label it. And it turns out like this: We see a speck in someone else's eye, but we don't notice a log in our own.

9. There are many of them, but the main indicator is either a brake or aggression .... the rest is in the dictionary.
10. Many have heard the term "inappropriate behavior" more than once and, without delving into the subtleties of this concept, always associate it with a violation of a person's mental activity. Simply put, we consider people who behave inappropriately as mentally ill or schizophrenics. To some extent, such a judgment is fair, but the problem is not how we call this or that manifestation of the disease of the people around us, but in our reaction and understanding of the need to provide timely assistance to such people. Agree that this is much more important and more humane in relation to the patient than labeling "schizophrenic", "psychopath" and others?

    So what is this inappropriate behavior, how is it expressed, how dangerous is it for the patient and others? Do I need to seek help from psychiatrists, and what results can be expected from treatment in case of inappropriate behavior of a person?

    The first thing to be aware of is that inappropriate behavior is a visible manifestation of existing or emerging serious mental illness. Also, one should not forget that the understanding of the term "inappropriate behavior" at the everyday level does not always correspond to the actual presence of any mental illness in the person in relation to whom we apply it. This is a very important and noteworthy aspect. The groundless, undeserved or thoughtless accusation of a person of inappropriate behavior can have very unpleasant, and sometimes unpredictable consequences.

11. Inadequate-If speaking, briefly a person is unbalanced and not understanding! Let's give an example, a person climbed onto the table and spits on everyone, etc. I hope you understand me and my thought.

In life, people often face stressful situations that have a bad effect on their behavior. Some of these situations are temporary, while others can last for a long time, causing negative consequences.

Stressful situations can leave an imprint on a person's behavior for life, for example, an unhappy childhood. The loss of a loved one, divorce can seriously change behavior for a while, but after that most people come to their senses. The main sources of inappropriate behavior:

external circumstances.

Inner or emotional state.

External circumstances

Most people succeed when they feel that the situation is under control, and sometimes they can even foresee this or that development of events. In this case, events are perceived as a challenge requiring action. But behavior can change drastically if a person does not get everything the way he wanted. The main reasons for this:

everyday stress

Stress is a state where everything is out of control and seems unpredictable. Usually stress is caused by:

Difficulties at work. The discrepancy between individual skills and requirements causes a feeling of inferiority that depresses a person.

Family and personal problems. Health problems, a stormy romance or a family tragedy completely take over a person. He cannot think of anything else, concentrating his attention only on these problems.

Too many responsibilities. The need to meet standards, the tight deadlines for completing the task make people take on too many responsibilities. Fear that it is impossible to achieve what you want is bad for behavior.

We all react differently to the same stressful situations, but stressful situations affect all people in the same way.

Psychological trauma

Involvement in an incident, guilt or a threat to life can cause one type of stress - psychological trauma. The reaction to this situation is different, but basically people behave the same way. There can be three phases of behavior:

1. At first, the person gets upset and feels bad.

2. Then he becomes passive, does not want to do anything, but follows orders.

3. Then he becomes irritable, preoccupied and cannot concentrate, as a result of which he has a strong emotional reaction.

People differ from each other in that they come to their senses after an injury in different ways. Some recover quickly, while others do not; some recover completely, while others have a psychological trauma that leaves an imprint for the rest of their lives. You will be able to understand the behavior of another person and begin to treat him more condescendingly if you know about the psychological trauma he has suffered in the past.

Alcohol and drugs

Alcohol and drugs can seriously affect a person's behavior. Usually they are resorted to in order to cope with adverse circumstances. Under the influence of alcohol and drugs, it seems to a person that he experiences problems more easily. In some cases, they suppress the negative reaction and temporarily relieve the worries due to problems, and in some cases they stimulate vitality and add confidence.

Solving problems with the help of alcohol or drugs is associated with a Russian nesting doll: you open one doll - you see the next one, and so on. Each previous problem is directly related to the next one, but does not explain it. It is necessary to open the second, sixth, tenth to find out the reason.

internal state

Psychological condition people largely depends on their inner mood due to physical and chemical changes in the body. Often stress causes anxiety and depression.

Anxiety. Most people in threatening or stressful situations feel anxious and tense. This is a normal reaction. But if someone feels anxiety in situations that others can easily cope with, then it is necessary to pay attention to this, because this is already a real problem.

People who are constantly feeling anxious are always in a tense state. Most of the time they feel bad, afraid stressful situations. Concern about all sorts of problems does not allow you to concentrate and make some kind of decision. Such people often ask themselves questions: “Could I have foreseen the consequences?”, “Did I turn off the light in the bathroom?”

Despite the presence of a reason for such behavior (negative experience in the past, mental discomfort that prevents blocking feelings of concern in case of inadequate reaction to what is happening), it is necessary to understand that, although a person tries to control him, he does not succeed.

Depression. Few of us can live our whole life in peace, without thinking about anything. It is not surprising that we feel despair or become depressed, sad because of events that upset or disturb us. But sometimes depression becomes chronic due to the fact that a person has been in a tense environment for a long time and cannot do anything or simply cannot control his emotions. It turns out a vicious circle: a person cannot get out of depression and from this becomes even more depressed. In this state it is impossible to concentrate, it seems that you are not able to change anything, that there is no future. All persuasions and requests to “stop thinking like that, discard bad thoughts and start acting” remain ineffective. All that can be done for such people is to treat them with understanding and compassion.

Signs of inappropriate behavior

First you need to find out the causes of an inadequate state, to recognize the signs that signal that a person has a problem.

In order to understand that a person is behaving unusually, it is necessary to know what his behavior is normally. If a person does not look like himself for a long time, then this is a sign that he is not all right. Such warning signals can be, for example:

Being late for work before a completely punctual person;

Indifference to everything usually cheerful and energetic person;

Manifestations of irritability for any reason before a completely balanced personality;

The untidy appearance of a usually immaculate-looking person;

Unusual forgetfulness and neglect of details in a person who is scrupulous to the smallest detail;

Absent-mindedness and confusion in a well-organized personality;

Anxiety and sadness in a carefree and cheerful person.

All of these signs signal personal problems, which are usually temporary, but in some cases can develop into permanent ones. Such changes are more often interpreted as a loss of interest in work or laziness. But such an interpretation of the signs that signal stress does not allow us to understand the true causes of behavior change.

Passion for alcohol

Signs of addiction to alcohol are not so easy to notice, because the behavior of a person under the influence of alcohol is not always different from the usual. But there are some signs you need to pay attention to, namely:

Unpredictable and inconsistent activity: one day a person works actively and efficiently, the next - just wasting time.

He often has unexplained "accidents";

He often has incomprehensible mood changes: today he is in a good mood, sociable, joking, and tomorrow he is gloomy and depressed (the mood can change several times a day);

The person is often sick (colds, abdominal pain) or often takes days off;

Invites others to drink during lunch break or after the end of the work day.

It is very difficult to determine whether a person is abusing alcohol or not, because some people are good at hiding it. Therefore, it is advisable to analyze all the results of observation of behavior and take into account the comments of other people. One identified case may not be enough to suspect someone of alcohol abuse. But, if there are many such cases, it is necessary to pay attention and think about it. Conclusions should be drawn very carefully, because similar symptoms can signal other problems (constant irritability at work may indicate a tendency to gamble or use drugs).

Therefore, before drawing any conclusion, you need to weigh all the evidence. If necessary, seek expert advice.

Drawing conclusions

Inappropriate behavior can be caused by various reasons. People react differently to circumstances, so it is not easy to determine the cause of their discomfort. Knowing some of the causes of inappropriate behavior helps to better understand the other person.

Ask yourself

Analyze how stress can affect people's behavior and answer the following questions:

^ Do you think that people can become depressed if things get out of their control?

^ Do you understand that psychological trauma can affect a person's behavior?

^ Do you acknowledge that some people abuse alcohol because they think it's easier to deal with problems?

^ Do you agree that anxiety and stress can influence behavior?

^ Do you think behavior change is a sign of stress?

^ Do you always notice that someone behaves in a way that is not typical for him?

Everything will work out if…

Recognize that everyday stress can affect people's behavior;

Be aware of the destructive effect of psychological trauma;

Understand that anxiety can change behavior for the worse;

Accept that depression does not allow people to control what is happening;

Understand that very often the presence of problems causes people to abuse alcohol;

Notice that someone's behavior is significantly different from the usual;

Understand that changes in behavior can signal that a person is under stress.

Sometimes it seems that close person gone crazy.

In this article, you will learn about the 10 main symptoms of mental disorders.

There is a joke among the people: "There are no mentally healthy people, there are underexamined." This means that individual signs of mental disorders can be found in the behavior of any person, and the main thing is not to fall into a manic search for the corresponding symptoms in others.

And it's not even that a person can become a danger to society or himself. Some mental disorders occur as a result of organic damage to the brain, which requires immediate treatment. Delay can cost a person not only mental health, but also life.

Some symptoms, on the contrary, are sometimes regarded by others as manifestations of bad character, promiscuity or laziness, while in fact they are manifestations of the disease.

In particular, depression is not considered by many to be a disease requiring serious treatment. "Pull yourself together! Stop whining! You're weak, you should be ashamed! Stop delving into yourself and everything will pass!” - this is how relatives and friends exhort the patient. And he needs the help of a specialist and long-term treatment, otherwise he will not get out.

The onset of senile dementia or early symptoms of Alzheimer's disease can also be mistaken for age-related decline in intelligence or a bad temper, but in fact it's time to start looking for a nurse to look after the sick.

How to determine whether it is worth worrying about a relative, colleague, friend?

Signs of a mental disorder

This condition can accompany any mental disorder and many of somatic diseases. Asthenia is expressed in weakness, low efficiency, mood swings, hypersensitivity. A person easily begins to cry, instantly irritated and loses self-control. Often, asthenia is accompanied by sleep disturbances.

obsessive states

A wide range of obsessions includes many manifestations: from constant doubts, fears that a person is not able to cope with, to an irresistible desire for cleanliness or certain actions.

Under the power of an obsessive state, a person can return home several times to check whether he turned off the iron, gas, water, whether he closed the door with a key. An obsessive fear of an accident may force the patient to perform some rituals that, according to the sufferer, can avert trouble. If you notice that your friend or relative washes his hands for hours, has become overly squeamish and is always afraid of getting infected with something - this is also an obsession. The desire not to step on cracks in the pavement, tile joints, avoidance of certain types of transport or people in clothes of a certain color or type is also an obsessive state.

Mood changes

Longing, depression, the desire for self-accusation, talk about one's own worthlessness or sinfulness, about death can also be symptoms of the disease. Pay attention to other manifestations of inadequacy:

• Unnatural frivolity, carelessness.
• Folly, not characteristic of age and character.
• Euphoric state, optimism, which has no basis.
• Fussiness, talkativeness, inability to concentrate, confused thinking.
• Heightened self-esteem.
• Projection.
• Strengthening of sexuality, extinction of natural modesty, inability to restrain sexual desires.

You have cause for concern if your loved one begins to complain about the appearance of unusual sensations in the body. They can be extremely unpleasant or just annoying. These are sensations of squeezing, burning, stirring “something inside”, “rustling in the head”. Sometimes such sensations can be the result of very real somatic diseases, but often senestopathies indicate the presence of a hypochondriacal syndrome.

Hypochondria

It is expressed in a manic concern about the state of one's own health. Examinations and test results may indicate the absence of diseases, but the patient does not believe and requires more and more examinations and serious treatment. A person speaks almost exclusively about his well-being, does not get out of clinics and demands to be treated like a patient. Hypochondria often goes hand in hand with depression.

Illusions

Do not confuse illusions and hallucinations. Illusions make a person perceive real objects and phenomena in a distorted form, while with hallucinations a person feels something that does not really exist.

Examples of illusions:

• the pattern on the wallpaper seems to be a plexus of snakes or worms;
• the dimensions of objects are perceived in a distorted form;
• the sound of raindrops on the windowsill seems to be the cautious steps of someone terrible;
• the shadows of the trees turn into terrible creatures crawling up with frightening intentions, etc.

If outsiders may not be aware of the presence of illusions, then the susceptibility to hallucinations may manifest itself more noticeably.

Hallucinations can affect all the senses, that is, they can be visual and auditory, tactile and gustatory, olfactory and general, and also be combined in any combination. To the patient, everything he sees, hears and feels seems completely real. He may not believe that others do not feel, hear, or see all this. He can perceive their bewilderment as a conspiracy, deceit, mockery, and get annoyed at the fact that they do not understand him.

With auditory hallucinations, a person hears all sorts of noise, snippets of words, or coherent phrases. "Voices" can give commands or comment on every action of the patient, laugh at him or discuss his thoughts.

Taste and olfactory hallucinations often cause a sensation of an unpleasant quality: a disgusting taste or smell.

With tactile hallucinations, it seems to the patient that someone is biting, touching, strangling him, that insects are crawling over him, that certain creatures are being introduced into his body and moving there or eating the body from the inside.

Outwardly, susceptibility to hallucinations is expressed in conversations with an invisible interlocutor, sudden laughter or constant intense listening to something. The patient may shake something off himself all the time, scream, examine himself with a preoccupied look, or ask others if they see something on his body or in the surrounding space.

Rave

Delusional states often accompany psychoses. Delusions are based on erroneous judgments, and the patient stubbornly maintains his false conviction, even if there are obvious contradictions with reality. Crazy ideas acquire supervalue, significance that determines all behavior.

Delusional disorders can be expressed in an erotic form, or in a belief in one's great mission, in descent from a noble family or aliens. It may seem to the patient that someone is trying to kill or poison him, rob him or kidnap him. Sometimes the development of a delusional state is preceded by a feeling of unreality of the surrounding world or one's own personality.

Gathering or excessive generosity

Yes, any collector can be suspect. Especially in those cases when collecting becomes an obsession, subjugates the whole life of a person. This may be expressed in the desire to drag into the house things found in garbage dumps, accumulate food without paying attention to expiration dates, or pick up stray animals in numbers that exceed the ability to provide them with normal care and proper maintenance.

The desire to give away all your property, immoderate squandering can also be regarded as a suspicious symptom. Especially in the case when a person was not previously distinguished by generosity or altruism.

There are people who are unsociable and unsociable due to their nature. This is normal and should not raise suspicions of schizophrenia and other mental disorders. But if a born merry fellow, the soul of the company, a family man and a good friend suddenly begins to destroy social ties, becomes unsociable, shows coldness towards those who were dear to him until recently, this is a reason to worry about his mental health.

A person becomes sloppy, ceases to take care of himself, in society he can begin to behave shockingly - to commit acts that are considered indecent and unacceptable.

What to do?

It is very difficult to make the right decision in the case when there are suspicions of a mental disorder in someone close. Perhaps a person is just having a difficult period in his life, and his behavior has changed for this reason. Things will get better - and everything will return to normal.

But it may turn out that the symptoms you noticed are a manifestation of a serious disease that needs to be treated. In particular, oncological diseases of the brain in most cases lead to one or another mental disorder. Delay in starting treatment can be fatal in this case.

Other diseases need to be treated in time, but the patient himself may not notice the changes taking place with him, and only relatives will be able to influence the state of affairs.

However, there is another option: the tendency to see in everyone around you potential patients of a psychiatric clinic can also turn out to be a mental disorder. Before calling psychiatric emergency for a neighbor or relative, try to analyze your own condition. Suddenly you have to start with yourself? Remember the joke about the under-examined?
