Direct people are, in the most widespread and generally accepted interpretation, sincere, following their inner impulses, deprived, in the first place, even of a hint of hypocrisy and prudence, representatives of humanity. But, of course, much depends on the interpreter of the word. For example, F. M. Dostoevsky argued that the immediate person is active because of his stupidity and limitation.
Ambiguous term
The adjective "direct" under the influence of various factors and time has changed, and in modern literature, as in colloquial speech, has two interpretations. One of them is explained as "following immediately after something, without intermediate links." For example, direct, that is, direct bosses.
The second concept most often exists in the connective “direct person”, and refers to a rational being. And here its meaning has a very vast space for interpretation, to the extent that the term can mean "holy simplicity" or stupidity. And this is the case. But one cannot call Natasha Rostov, one of the symbols of spontaneity, a fool.
Positivity of immediacy
The Russian language is rich, including due to the large number of synonyms and interpretation of the same word. With regard to man, spontaneity can be deciphered as artlessness and simplicity, naivety and ease, freshness and relaxedness. Simple-minded trustfulness, naturalness, directness, naturalness and frankness - all these features fit this concept. Based on the above, it can be stated that direct people are very nice representatives of humanity. But not so common. Firstly, because society forms a human individual for itself, which grows up and becomes its full member, following the norms and rules of behavior. Secondly, even living far from society, it is difficult to maintain the freshness of emotional experiences, joys and, especially, confusion. Roughly speaking, a person gets used to everything.
Immediacy can be annoying
Or, nature must be really very rich and strong in order to allow itself to behave devoid of stereotypical boundaries, and at the same time not look ridiculous and pathetic, in the best sense, “cute silly”, in the worst, the aphorism applicable to such a person is “simplicity is worse theft. "
Such sayings are still possible: “as simple as laundry soap”, “this one will blur.” You can recall the phrase of L. Filatov "... I’m generally a child of nature, even a bad one, but a child ...". That is, those individuals who are appropriate to characterize in this way are shy in society. Certainly, tact and a sense of proportion are necessary indicators of a man’s manners. But one another is not a hindrance. You can
be educated and sincere in expressing your feelings. The main indicator is the lack of prudence. We can say that direct people are the antipodes of rational, reflective (thinking, weighing), living on the principle of "measure seven times, cut one" individuals.
The natural period of natural immediacy
There is, and always has been, a category of humanity living on the principles of direct perception of the world and behavior in it. These, of course, are children. They are allowed a lot. Children's spontaneity is usually sweet. Glorified by K. Chukovsky in the book “From 2 to 5”, she for a long time remained an example of children's permissiveness. But the reaction of adults, as a rule, is always the same. They pull the kids, explain that the "truth-uterus can not be cut." If you do not do this, but constantly touch the insolence of the child, a boor will grow out of him. Although it can be called an egocentric. In any case, the concept of “direct people” does not apply to the latter. These are moral freaks that can poison the lives of others.
Charming immediacy
I would like to note that the described character trait is most appropriate for the female appearance. The fairer sex spontaneity (if it is not played enough, which is insanely annoying) makes captivating, irresistible and desirable. She is especially appreciated by smart, decent, held men who are able to appreciate the sincerity of behavior.
An example is the behavior of Tatyana Larina at the “brides fair”. She was direct in her indifference to what was happening, and "... meanwhile, some important general did not take his eyes off her ...". And the question “what does a direct person mean?”, First of all, I want to answer that this is a sincere, without a “second bottom”, sir or madam, with whom it is very easy, pleasant and always joyful to communicate. And a lot of these or few in the environment - depends, first of all, on the spiritual qualities and preferences of the person himself.
