Each of us had to listen to a proposal from another person to finally “decide” on something, but have you ever thought that in your soul both a feeling of love and a feeling of dislike for one and the other can coexist peacefully the same person. Where does this duality come from? So, in the article we will consider what the duality of character means.
Or ambivalence
In psychology, an ambivalent attitude to something is called ambivalence. In addition, it is worth highlighting such synonymous words for duality. This is both “double-mindedness”, and “doublethink”, and “insincerity”, and “hypocrisy”, and “falsity”. But it’s worth talking about what a person experiences at the same time, is he really that bad? Usually a person is confused by those dual sensations that he experiences for the same object. These are complex and conflicting feelings.
The simplest example of a dual relationship is the relationship of children to their own parents. They can't help but love the main people in their lives, butat the same time they can experience a sense of shame for them, and a feeling of hatred, and many other unpleasant emotions. Also, duality is the failure to make a volitional decision, fluctuations between “yes” and “no”. Such a state of internal struggle greatly exhausts a person. People also show an ambivalent attitude in social life. For example, they strongly support single mothers, for example, on social networks, but they are condemned by a neighbor who is raising her son alone.
What does this lead to?
Duality is a feature of adolescence, in which case the older generation should be more tolerant and wiser. Only a teenager who has no life experience tends to divide the world into white and black. But you should know that sometimes adults also face a similar problem. There may be several reasons. This is the isolation of a person, fear of the attention of others, even perfectionism. That is, a person striving for the ideal will obviously be dissatisfied with the result.
Every person at least once in his life had to "be torn in half." A mature person is able to deal with the critical moments of life, but if an ambivalent attitude brings suffering to a person and leads to nervous breakdowns, then he will need the help of a loved one.
And how to deal with it?
In this case, a person should understand the causes of duality. It can be fears, or it can be desires. For example, a person wants to jump with a parachute, but is afraid of heights, he has an ambivalent attitude to the situation. Whatmake? He must understand what is more important for him - fear or desire. Only by answering this question to himself, a person will be able to make the right decision for him.
