Almost everyone has heard such a word in their life as a nonsense. This concept leads to rather negative associations; it has not yet been fully approved in the scientific field, but in fact, indifference is a common phenomenon.
It very well describes the psychological state of a person, seriously affecting his life and personality development. That is why it is very important to understand the essence of the concept of "do not care." Who is this and what is this life position expressed in? After all, it affects not only the relationship with other people, but also the individual as a whole.
Theory and Description
Due to the widespread occurrence of such a phenomenon among the masses, pofigism attributed various degrees and varieties. The very first and main word that comes to mind when describing a given position is "indifference." But in fact, this concept does not fit as a synonym - the nihilist understands what he is doing.
But by indifference it is customary to understand the complete lack of feelings for something, whether it is a person, object or event. And this concerns, rather, reflexes, the intuitive and subconscious reactions of man. But the nihilist is a person who is able to control this phenomenon. This means that he consciously makes a choice which things or phenomena to attach importance to, and which ones should not be wasted his time.
Varieties of such people
At present, in psychology there are five main types of indifference. Since this phenomenon has become quite common, it is useful to highlight some important characteristics and describe it. And both for the science of man, and as a means of self-knowledge.
Full nonsense
By name you can intuitively understand what is at stake. Full nihilists are people who have the most extreme manifestation of this life principle. This is a conscious choice of a person to stop paying attention to his own life and himself in particular. Moreover, he “scored” everything completely consciously, but this does not mean that he does not feel anything at all. Recognizing such a person is quite simple, since a person does not hide his indifferent attitude to the opinions of others, but does not at all strive to impose his life principles on others.
On the whole, he doesn’t care whether they understand him or not, this is his conscious choice, and that’s enough for him. Such people have poorly developed memory, because they try to forget everything that is happening as quickly as possible and throw out what they think is superfluous information. The only advantage of this type of indifference is that a person is not nervous once again, which allows him to save nerve cells.
Aggressive type
Here the situation is a little different, a person is proud of his life position. And unlike the previous species, the nihilistic attitude of a person applies to everyone except him. In other words, in this way he clears the path and builds up strength to experience and worry exclusively about his Self.
Naturally, this has its own positive side, but it is crossed out by the inability to experience something with other people. It is these women and men who do not care for the negative image of the position itself, while openly praising their unwillingness to perceive the world around and take into account the needs of others.
Relative type
Such people choose what is worth paying attention to and what is not. Moreover, things, people, and even concepts can fall into this category. Most often, this trait is manifested in purposeful individuals. Some creative people and entrepreneurs specifically develop this feature in themselves in order to fulfill their tasks and not waste their energy.
Moreover, hobbies can be very different, not only work or creativity, but also sports, the opposite sex, religion, but really anything. This kind of nonsense can be equated with determination, which is a completely positive quality. However, the goal does not always justify the means, and obviously you should not forget about it.
Hidden type
This person cannot be equated with a nonsense. Photos, personal communication and other characteristics do not indicate the presence of this life principle. The fact is that he consciously hides his attitude to the world, and everyone around him perceives him as a responsive, attentive person, ready to listen, show sympathy, and share advice. But if he goes beyond the threshold, the true hidden nonsense will not think or continue to worry, he will simply forget everything. For him, this is absolutely not important and has no value, but he will never show that he does not care.
From the point of view of personality development, this is a very good feature, because taking on others' problems and unnecessarily worrying about others only slow down and negatively affect health. But if the interlocutor of a hidden nonsense learns about his real view of things, then he will most likely be disappointed, because he perceived this person in a completely different way. Such people treat themselves differently, but for them it is always important that others do not see their true indifference. Therefore, external characteristics, facial expressions and other details are important.
Reasonable type
It is also called healthy. Recently, many have been trying to develop this trait within themselves as part of personal self-development. This is an independent division of all life aspects into positive and negative, and subsequently separation of the latter. We can say that a reasonable nonsense is a guy who has chosen positive thinking, he tries to see a positive character in everything. Such people can rejoice, they are sincere and truly happy. They are able to believe in miracles, and most interestingly, it is their faith in the good that draws a lot of good into their lives.
The philosophy of reasonable nonsense
A similar view of the world is applicable precisely in modern society, since in the old days there were completely different social rules. Today, life here and now, positive thinking, determination and other features of indifference give a person an advantage. Such people are needed in the workplace, as they will be able to respond correctly in a stressful situation. They are able to isolate themselves from a large flow of information and concentrate on really important points.
A healthy nonsense never worries about trifles. Most situations that happen in life provoke a person to experience. And they take too much time, effort, but in reality their understanding and experiences do not give any positive result either for the individual or for his environment. For an ordinary person, awareness of the time lost is manifested only by the fact of its presence, but the nihilist, in turn, simply does not allow this in his life. Also, the absence of irritability and nervousness saves a person from committing rash actions and actions, he seems to be more soberly looking at all problem situations.
The main words of the nihilist can be expressed in one quote from a modern poet: "Nihilism is the serene ease of being." That is, the expression created at the end of the last century is associated with something bad in people, but in fact it is a fairly positive feature of the human character, a special outlook on life that can manifest itself both positively and negatively. Therefore, to call this worldview bad or good is simply incorrect. It all depends on the person himself and how he applies indifference in his life.
