What - asocial person?
- Yevgeny Usenko is ignorant in this matter. Considers the issue one-sidedly, one-sidedly.
Asociality is the fact of having an indifferent attitude towards social norms.
For what reason the individual is indifferent to this or that social norm does not matter. The very fact of indifference makes him asocial.
Both highly intelligent people and low-intelligent human beings can be asocial.
An example of highly intelligent asocials is hackers, cyber criminals, counterfeiters. Who violate social norms expressed in laws, through their crimes.
There are "homeless" - who spit on social norms in the employment of society. Prostitutes spitting on the norms of morality.Thus, asociality is not always bad and not always good. It's just a fact of indifference to social norms.
- WHICH REGULATIONS? THE PUBLIC HAS A LOT OF RULES! THERE ARE NORMS OF MARALI, MORALITY, ETHICS, RELIGION, EDUCATION, HUMANITY, ETC.
THIS IS SOCIAL RULES!
IT SEES THAT EACH OF THE LIVING PERSONS IS TO A LIMITATION OF A SOCIAL PERSONALITY?
TO THIS I WILL SAY THAT THERE IS NO ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION. HOW MANY PEOPLE? WOW, SO MANY OPINIONS. DON'T FUCK YOUR HEAD IN SHORT, JUST BE GOOD PEOPLE! ALL GOOD AND CAREFULLY LIFE!
FROM 31REGION/TV - There is a well-recognized type of people, the so-called Asocial type. Its main feature, the axis that permeates the entire personality, behavior, actions of the Asocial, is the satisfaction of one's instinctive needs.
But this is a special satisfaction, without brakes. Without an internal struggle of motives, without a doubt Not accepting any obstacles. Neither in the demands of society developed over the centuries, nor in the generally accepted norms of morality, nor in the condemnation of friends or relatives, nor in possible punishment, nor in anticipation of retribution, remorse.
Asocial personality manifests itself at an early age. This may be aggressive behavior, early promiscuity (promiscuity), a special mechanical view of sex (pleasant, good for health), a tendency to abuse alcohol, drugs.
Depending on time, place of residence, environment, either some of the listed signs appear, or all in a complex.
A person with an asocial core does not have a sufficiently developed part of self-consciousness that would allow him to evaluate, take into account and reckon with the convenience and safety of others. Surroundings for Asocial are considered only in two positions: a source of danger, a source of pleasure.
Own motives, born from simple instinctive needs, are felt, felt by the Asocial, as urgent, the delay in the implementation of which is unthinkable. And if the delay still happens for some reason, then the Asocial will give out a reaction of aggression, in which cruelty is sometimes manifested.
There may be a kind of gender determinism here. An asocial man, especially when not burdened with high intelligence, can express his aggression directly, in the form of physical violence, inflicting bodily harm on someone who interferes in something, or by crushing and breaking the surrounding inanimate objects. A woman of an antisocial type can show her aggression in cruel slander, a special sophisticated deceit in relation to the ill-wisher.
Asocial, tying close interpersonal relationships, focuses solely on himself, on getting attention, warm feelings, care and love. Giving little or nothing in return.
As a result, the impossibility, the inability of a person of an asocial type to maintain close and meaningful interpersonal relationships. Relationships that suggest the presence of qualities that are absent from the Asocial.
Communicating with the Asocial, others, over time, usually read its main characteristics. By increasing experiencing sensations: misunderstanding, dissatisfaction, tension, irritation and, as a result, breaking off relations.
Only the closest relatives (parents, brothers, sisters, children of the Asocial) can for a long time be captivated by habitual illusions, imperceptibly, smoothly arising as a result of a long cohabitation, a skewed system of intra-family relations. Also, for a long time, a person of the Dependent type of personality may turn out to be the object of manipulation of the Asocial (for a description, see Characters. DEPENDENT PERSONALITY TYPE.).
Asocial types are prone to deception, to manipulation of the interlocutor, close people, and, using their charm, imaginary goodwill, they sincerely do not see, are not able to feel the consequences, that human pain that arises for someone as a result of their actions. Such is the nature of the Asocial.
In psychology, there is a large-scale concept of society. This is the society in which we all live and whose laws we must obey. Social personalities do "everything right", follow laws and regulations, and observe moral principles. Asocial individuals live according to their own ideas.
Who are antisocial people? These are the ones who follow their impulses and desires. They are not interested in the public and generally accepted rules. The main thing is the satisfaction of their needs, even contrary to the desires of others. Their characteristic features are unscrupulousness, deceit, impulsiveness, excitability, insensitivity, lack of conscience. Antisocial personalities are not affected by the assessment of close people and friends, if any.
Individuals with deviant (deviant) behavior perceive society as evil. This is an obstacle to achieving certain goals. Society is a threat. An asocial person wants to live according to his own principles, and if society does not accept his opinion, aggression arises. In antisocial men, this is expressed by violence, in women - by deceit and cunning. These people go to the deception without feeling guilty.
These comrades are not capable of love. They can only take without giving anything in return. They are prone to partner manipulation and blackmail.
Typically, these personality disorders come from a genetic predisposition. It is also possible the influence of a dysfunctional family. Indifference, hostile relations between parents leave their imprint on the mind of the child.
Now consider who can be attributed to asocial personality types?
1. Criminals, murderers, rapists, thieves. All those people who commit crimes against the person. They may not be aware of their criminal actions. Just at that moment they wanted to do just that: kill, rape, steal.
This also includes serial maniacs. They are also driven by a certain need. Desires can be different, in psychology there is a clear distinction between them. Someone is driven by the goal of making the world a better place. To rid him, for example, of females, visually reminiscent of the criminal's mother. Someone experiences sexual dissatisfaction. Others act ostensibly under the influence higher powers that "order" them to do something.
This type of well-known antisocial personalities include Andrei Chikatilo, Jack the Ripper and other less famous maniacs.
2. People with various mental disorders. One of the most striking examples is Billy Milligan. A person with many personalities. In total, 23 personalities lived in his head, 10 of which were the main ones. Depending on life situations, one or another representative of Billy came to the fore.
3. Alcoholics, drug addicts. People leading an unhealthy lifestyle, prone to deviant behavior due to drugs and doping. Uncle Petya from the next entrance can be attributed to this type, who has not been “drying out” for 10 years and at 40 looks 60.
4. Prostitutes. Women who are promiscuous. They produce unnecessary children, who are given to the upbringing of the state. According to the version of the ubiquitous grandmothers on the bench, Svetka from the 3rd entrance belongs to this type. Although Svetlana may not be a prostitute at all, but a young woman in search of her happiness.
Is being different from others good or bad? Some might say that this defines a person as an independent person. And someone will repeat that it is impossible to be different. In fact, both are right: a person is not always different from others in better side, and such a person is awarded the epithet "asocial". It means a person that opposes the norms and rules of society. About this and will be discussed in the publication.
Definition
The meaning of the word "asocial" has several characteristics. If we translate literally from the Greek language, we get the following definition: a person who is indifferent to society, who does not take active actions in the life of society, that is, an antisocial individual. Also, the word "asocial" means behavior that is contrary to the norms and rules accepted in society.
In fact, this concept has two opposite definitions. On the one hand, an asocial is a person who acts contrary to established rules, but on the other hand, it is an individual who is not interested in interacting with society. If he has motivation, then it is mainly aimed at single actions.
How is this term used?
Asocial is a term that appeared in everyday life at the beginning of the twentieth century. Initially, politicians used it in their speeches, meaning by this word all disadvantaged people, that is, the underclass. During the Second World War, in the camps of the Third Reich, antisocial elements wore the same identification marks as mentally retarded people.
On the positive side, asociality is considered in religious dogmas. Some monastic traditions encourage asociality, believing that a person who is away from society is closer to God.
Asocial can be called introverts, people who do not occupy active positions in society. But the extreme form of asociality is considered schizophrenia, which is characterized by an inability to empathize and establish contact with other people.
Another personality
Based on all of the above, a logical question arises: what is it, this antisocial personality?
So, antisocial personality. The definition of this term will sound like this: an antisocial personality in psychology means a person with a perverted (underdeveloped or absent) sense of responsibility, who operates with low moral values and does not show interest in his own kind.
Such people are easily recognized by their behavior. They can painfully and rather violently react to a sense of their own dissatisfaction and always strive to quickly get rid of objects or situations that bring discomfort. They are impulsive, tend to "put on masks", skillfully lie. But quite often they are perceived by surrounding intelligent and charming people. Asocial people can find contact with others on the background of common interests, but they do not know how to show empathy and care.
Behavior
Asocial is different. Everything is wrong with him: from the habit of tying shoelaces to the perception of reality, what can we say about behavior? As already mentioned, such behavior differs from the norms and rules accepted in society. Depending on what the researcher considers the norm, the opposite action will be considered antisocial behavior. For example, if we study the process of adaptation, then maladaptive behavior can be considered antisocial.
Thus, the concept of "antisocial behavior" definition will have the following:
- This is one of the varieties of deviant behavior that causes damage to society. Such behavior is not aimed at social relationships, but it has a wide range of actions: from infantilism to mental disorders.
Not always antisocial behavior can be considered a negative quality, there is evidence that antisocial people have brought a lot of new things to the development of society. Although this is just an exception to the rule. In addition, one should not confuse antisocial behavior with antisocial, since the latter is associated with criminal, illegal and immoral actions. Antisocial behavior originates from the avoidance of other people and the inability to build relationships with them, which, in fact, ends with mental disorders.
Appropriate measures
Often the prevention of antisocial behavior is carried out in circles or educational institutions. Her main methods are aimed at helping to set the right priorities, change the value system that has not yet been formed, and, of course, promote a healthy lifestyle. Prevention activities can take the form of lessons, games or tests.
In general, prevention is divided into several types, depending on the complexity of the deviation:
- Primary. All actions are aimed at eliminating the factors that provoked the emergence of antisocial behavior and, staying away from these factors, form a person's resistance to their effects.
- Secondary. This includes work with a risk group, that is, with individuals who have had neuropsychiatric disorders, or with those who have a tendency to antisocial behavior, but have not yet manifested themselves.
- Tertiary. Direct intervention of doctors with further treatment.
Summing up
Asocial is different. He is distinguished by isolation, taciturnity, emotional instability and a desire to be alone with himself. Asocial individuals want to stay away from society. What provoked such zeal? Wrong system of values, difficult circumstances or simple non-acceptance of the main part of the rules and norms? There is no reliable answer to this question. After all, on the one hand, an antisocial person can be dangerous and mentally unbalanced, but on the other hand, it can be an ordinary person who wants to change this world for the better, and he has no desire to refuse communication, there is simply not enough time.
Antisocial
Antisocial(from other Greek ἀντί - against, and lat. socialis- public) - a negative attitude towards social norms or standards of behavior, the desire to counteract them. Including the traditions of a particular social group of people.
Description
Antisocial differs from asociality the fact that in the second case, the individual treats social norms with indifference and misunderstanding, and does not seek to oppose them.
A. L. Wenger notes that “with asociality and, especially, with antisociality, psychopathic behavior is often observed, characterized by impulsiveness, violation of generally accepted norms.”
Razumovskaya notes that "the most dangerous form of antisocial behavior is expressed in crime", and also that "antisocial behavior is manifested not only in the external behavioral side, but also in changes in value orientations and ideas, that is, in the deformation of the system of internal regulation of personality behavior."
Qualities of antisocial behavior
Ts. P. Korolenko, N. V. Dmitrieva, according to DSM-IV, distinguish the following negative qualities of persons with antisocial behavior:
- frequent departures from home with no return at night;
- propensity for physical violence, pugnacity with weaker peers;
- cruelty to others and abuse of animals;
- knowingly damaging property belonging to others;
- targeted arson;
- frequent lies caused by various reasons;
- tendency to theft and robbery
- the desire to involve persons of the opposite sex in violent sexual activity.
After the age of 15, carriers of antisocial disorders show the following signs:
- learning difficulties associated with not preparing homework;
- difficulties in productive activities due to the fact that such persons often do not work even when work is available to them;
- frequent, unreasonable absences from school and work;
- frequent departures from work without real plans related to further employment;
- inconsistency with social norms, anti-social actions that are criminal in nature;
- irritability, aggressiveness, manifested both in relation to family members (beating one's own children), and in relation to others;
- failure to fulfill their financial obligations (do not repay debts, do not provide financial assistance to needy relatives);
- lack of planning for your life;
- impulsiveness, expressed in moving from place to place without a clear goal;
- deceit;
- lack of loyalty to others with the desire to "shift" the blame on others, to put others at risk, for example, by leaving life-threatening electrical wiring open. Failure to comply with safety regulations when working with a risk to life. Desire for risky driving that puts others at risk.
- lack of activities related to caring for their own children. Frequent divorces.
- no remorse for harm done to others.
- anxiety and fear are not represented, so they are not afraid of the consequences of their actions.
Ts. P. Korolenko, N. V. Dmitrieva note that the desire of adults to punish people with antisocial behavior "is accompanied by unfulfilled promises not to repeat such behavior."
The concept of social behavior. Prosocial and antisocial behavior. Aggression
The results of socialization can be judged by the social behavior of a person. If the process of socialization proceeds normally, then a person has pronounced prosocial behavior and there is no antisocial behavior, although manifestations of asocial behavior may occur.
prosocial behavior(from lat. pro - a prefix denoting acting in the interests of someone and socialis - public) - the behavior of an individual, which is focused on the good social groups and individuals. The opposite of antisocial behavior.
In general, prosocial behavior characterizes the actions performed by one person for another and for his benefit. This definition is also true when the helper also benefits. An important truth about prosocial behavior needs to be recognized: people rarely help for any one reason. We help to: 1) improve our own well-being; 2) improve social status and earn the approval of others; 3) maintain our self-image; 4) cope with your own mood and emotions.
antisocial behavior- a type of behavior characterized by denial social norms and values accepted in society.
Antisocial behavior and antisocial behavior are not the same thing. A person with antisocial behavior comes into active conflict with the norms of society. Asocial people do not openly violate the norms, but deliberately exclude themselves from the normal life of society. More often in the psychological literature, antisocial behavior is called aggressive.
Aggression Behavior designed to harm another person.
There are the following types of aggression:
indirect and direct aggression (indirect aggression: harming another without a face-to-face conflict, such as malicious gossip; direct aggression: harming someone "in the face", such as physical aggression - punching, kicking, or verbal aggression - insulting , threats);
emotional and instrumental aggression (emotional aggression: behavior that harms another person, giving vent to angry feelings, for example, someone in a rage throws a chair at a colleague; instrumental aggression: harming someone in order to achieve some other (non-aggressive) goals, for example, a hired killer kills for money).
If we consider social behavior from the point of view of productivity, then in social psychology well-known studies showing that in certain circumstances others may improve outcomes, and in other cases worsen. In the first case, we are talking about social facilitation, and in the second case, social inhibition.
Social facilitation is an increase in the speed or productivity of an individual's activity due to the actualization in his mind of the image of another person (or group of people) acting as a rival or observer of the actions of this individual.
Back in 1897, Norman Triplet conducted an experiment on testing cyclists in a 25-mile race in individual and group options. The participants in the group race performed 5 seconds per mile better than the participants in the individual group. V. Mede found that in collective work, the weak members of the group win, while the strong lose. It has been established that the emergence of the phenomenon of social facilitation depends on the nature of the tasks performed by a person: complex, creative tasks in most cases are best performed alone, and simple tasks in a group. The presence of an observer has a positive effect on the quantitative characteristics of the activity and negatively on the qualitative ones.
Managers of various levels, consciously or unconsciously, often take into account the process of social facilitation, organizing workplaces in such a way that each employee is constantly in sight of colleagues and superiors.
However, according to a number of scientists, other people do not always contribute to increasing the efficiency of activity. F. Allport wrote: “Working in the society of others, even though there was no direct contact and communication between them, nevertheless creates an inhibitory effect.” Indeed, in some cases, the real or imagined presence of other people leads to a deterioration in performance. This phenomenon is called social inhibition.
Social inhibition is the deterioration of performance in the presence of other people.
Surrounding voluntarily or involuntarily distract and even irritate. Especially when things are not going well - here someone else's presence not only does not help, but even prevents you from concentrating on the task. Accordingly, the efficiency of work decreases. Those. The presence of others not only spurs on, but also distracts attention at the same time.
The phenomenon of social facilitation and inhibition is well explained with the help of the concept of "dominant reaction". A dominant reaction is a temporarily dominant reflex system, i.e. a system of habitual actions that gives behavior a purposeful character. Now, the excitement that comes from the presence of others always reinforces the dominant response. Increased arousal improves simple problem solving. But the same excitement interferes with the performance of unmastered and complex operations.
Learning has a great influence on human behavior. Learning differs from teaching as the acquisition of experience in activity, i.e. learning is a predominantly unconscious process for the subject. Therefore, social learning is carried out through the mechanisms of infection, imitation, suggestion, reinforcement. Our own learning and, accordingly, development is possible only thanks to other people. Those. learning is a social process.
What to learn and how to learn are all driven by values social environment and ways of transferring social experience. In psychological practice, the method of social learning, carried out in training work, is common. Skills training groups are designed to teach adaptive skills useful when faced with difficult life situations. The main social learning procedures in such groups are modeling (presenting patterns of adaptive behavior), behavior rehearsal (training, role-playing), instruction (information on how to behave in order to achieve the goal), reinforcement (rewards, positive reactions and encouragement offered members and team leader).
The regulation of the behavior of a particular person depends on how control is exercised by various social groups.
social control- a system of influence of society and social groups on a person in order to regulate his behavior.
Social control is most experienced by individuals whose behavior can be characterized as deviant, i.e. does not meet group standards. It has been experimentally shown that in a corporate grouping, negative sanctions (punishment, coercion, etc.) significantly prevail over positive ones (encouragement, approval, etc.). Any violation of group norms is perceived by the community as a threat to its very existence and leads to immediate punishment. Social control carried out by a group of a high level of development is characterized by flexibility and differentiation, which contributes to the formation of self-control among members of the team.
At the heart of the regulation of human social behavior, according to V.A. Yadov, there is a system of personal dispositions.
Personal disposition is an internal readiness, a predisposition to perceive and act in a certain way in relation to an object.
Scientists have been asked to identify 4 levels of personality dispositions, each of which X affects different levels of activity.
First level constitute elementary fixed attitudes, they are formed on the basis of vital (explain the term) needs and in the simplest situations, in a family environment and in the lowest “objective situations”. This level of dispositions can be described as an elementary fixed attitude. The affective component plays a significant role in the formation of dispositions.
Second level these are more complex dispositions that are formed on the basis of a person's need for communication carried out in a small group, and, accordingly, in those situations that are set by activity in this group. Here the regulative role of the disposition lies in the fact that the personality already develops some definite attitudes towards those social objects that are included in the activity at its given level. The disposition of this level corresponds to a social fixed attitude, or attitude, which, in comparison with an elementary fixed attitude, has a complex three-component structure and contains cognitive, affective and behavioral components.
Third level determines the general orientation of the interests of the individual in relation to a specific area of social activity, or basic social attitudes. Dispositions of this kind are formed in those areas of activity where a person satisfies his need for activity, manifested as a specific "work", a specific area of leisure, etc. Just like attitudes, basic social attitudes have a three-component structure, i.e. it's not so much an expression of attitude to otd. social object, how much to some more significant social areas.
The fourth, highest level of dispositions is formed by the system value orientations personalities that regulate the behavior and activities of the individual in the most significant situations of his social activity. The system of value orientations expresses the attitude of the individual to the goals of life, to the means of satisfying these goals, i.e. to such "circumstances" of a person's life, a cat. can be determined only by general social conditions, the type of society, the system of its economic, political, ideological principles. The dominant expression is given to the cognitive component of dispositions.
The proposed hierarchy of dispositional formations acts as a regulatory system in relation to the behavior of the individual. More or less accurately, each of the levels of dispositions can be correlated with the regulation of specific types of manifestation of activity.

Mila
Such crap! Open the Wikipedia article and you don't have to be smart.
Asocial - far from social life. It is not necessary to characterize as a criminal of some kind.
Asociality is behavior and actions that do not comply with the norms and rules of human behavior in society, public morality.
Asociality (social indifference) - the absence of a strong motivation for social interaction and / or the presence of one motivation for solitary activity. Asociality differs from antisociality in that the latter implies an open dislike for other people and/or for society as a whole. Also, asociality should not be confused with misanthropy.
What to do if you are antisocial?
Chipenko Anton
Well, it seems to me that even with asociality, you can find some advantages, for example, when a person is alone, he thinks a lot, at least if he is able to think at all. Often loneliness contributes to a variety of creativity, so I would not say that loneliness is so bad, but of course you don’t need to bring loneliness to extremes, naturally you need to contact the outside world, and in any case you have to contact the outside world because you simply won’t survive otherwise. But of course, if a person wants to get rid of asociality, then it interferes with his life, therefore work on yourself, go out for a start for short distances.
Alisa1976
If a person himself suffers from his isolation and non-contact, he should try to gradually, step by step, change himself at least a little. To begin with, it is worth learning how to communicate on the Internet, if there are no real friends at all, and then in life. You can try to ask questions at least in shops, on the streets in order to overcome your shyness, if this is exactly what we are talking about.
Master key 111
Do nothing, why change yourself, I have a friend who just hates being in public so he constantly goes hiking, or just sits at home with loved ones, or alone, this is not bad and not good, there are just such people and they live like they like it, and that's the main thing.
If you mean avoiding communication, then nothing needs to be done.
Perhaps you think that this is not normal, I can reassure you, it is not.
Avoiding communication is a stage of growing up a person. You didn’t climb into the barrel like Diogenes (this is still an extreme). By the way, Diogenes is the clearest example of asociality and genius.
Geniuses are often asocial.
You need to fight your fears, try to communicate, joke and connect with people as much as possible. Yes, in our life, not everyone grows up as speakers who lead the crowds behind them. But it is also impossible to put up with such a fact, since a person is a social being and withers away without communication.

3 Question. The concept and essence of an antisocial lifestyle.
Russian language
Antisocial personality- A person who has an underdeveloped (or perverted) sense of responsibility, low moral values, and a lack of interest in others. Another name for an antisocial personality is a sociopath.
Characteristics of an antisocial personality
Behavior is almost entirely determined by a person's own needs.
Painful reactions, frustrations to the state of one's own displeasure.
The desire for immediate deliverance (and deliverance at any cost) from unpleasant sensations.
Impulsiveness, the tendency to live in the moment.
The extraordinary ease of lying.
Often very skillfully play roles.
Unstable self-esteem.
The need to excite oneself (to excite).
Inability to change one's behavior as a result of punishment.
Surrounding people are often often perceived as attractive, intelligent, charming people.
Easily come into contact, especially easily converge on the basis of entertainment.
Lack of genuine empathy for others.
Lack of feelings of shame or guilt for their actions.
Three groups of factors contributing to the development of an antisocial personality are presented below: biological determinants, features of the relationship between parents and the child, style of thinking.
Biological factors
Research suggests genetic correlates of antisocial behavior. Identical twins have twice the concordance for criminal behavior than related twins, making it clear that this behavior is partly heritable.
Adoption studies show that the crimes of adopted boys are similar to those of their biological fathers.
It is also noted that antisocial individuals have low excitability, which is why they, with the help of impulsive and dangerous actions, seek to receive stimulation that causes appropriate sensations.
Family factors
Research also shows that the quality of parental care received by a child with a history of hyperactivity and behavioral problems determines to a large extent whether or not they develop into an antisocial personality.
Children who are often left unattended or who are poorly cared for for long periods of time are much more likely to engage in criminal behavior patterns.
Asocial personality: behavioral style of such people and ways to correct it
Also, children whose parents do not participate in their Everyday life are more likely to become antisocial.
Biological and family factors often coincide, which enhances their effect. Children with behavioral problems often have neuropsychological problems resulting from maternal drug use, poor intrauterine nutrition, pre- and post-natal toxicity, abuse, birth complications, and low birth weight. Such children are more likely to be irritable, impulsive, awkward, hyperactive, inattentive. They slowly learn the material at school, which over time leaves a strong imprint on the child's self-esteem.
Thinking style
In children with behavioral disorders, an inadequate picture of the world, the processing of information about social interactions what happens is that they develop aggressive reactions to these interactions. They expect aggression from other children and adults, interpret their actions based on the assumption of malevolence.
Not knowing how to behave assertively, the child eventually comes to the conclusion that aggression is the most reliable and effective tool.
The responses of others to the child's aggression usually only lead to the strengthening of the idea of the need for aggression.
Thus, a vicious circle of interactions develops, supporting and inspiring the aggressive and antisocial behavior of the child.

Usage examples for asocial
The Trinity led an asocial lifestyle: the men did not have passports, a permanent place of residence and work.
Who has not been to Europe, beware of toilets, they are not according to our brains! in Stuttgart, a small need forced me to go into an outdoor public dry closet in the evening, a single booth, very neat, shiny, clean, stuffed with sensors and controlled by a computer. You throw a coin of 2 euros into the slot of the door, the doors open automatically, the light comes on, you go in, the doors close. I don’t suffer from claustrophobia, but since I’ve been doing electronics and computer programs all my life, it’s a little annoying. Well, I did my business, I need to go out, but there is no button to open the door. Instructions too. What's stupid or something, you write instructions for using the toilet? I turn on my logic, as the Germans wrote the control program, went in and lifted the toilet lid, drained the water, closed the lid. Maybe a sensor is stuck? I repeat the process. The door does not open. Maybe you need to sit on the lid, then get up, then drain the water? I repeat the process. The door does not open. So. What did you forget? Can you wash your hands? I repeat the process again from the beginning. I put my hand to the tap, the sensor works, the water flows, then it automatically turns off, in hope and sadness I look at the door does not open. The prospect of spending the night in a heaped German push did not inspire me. I shout to my friend who was left outside (lucky): Zhenya, this infection does not let me out! He tries to bribe the toilet by putting a coin in the slot. We won’t beg the machine, it doesn’t take it, and that’s it. It also does not respond to kicks and blows. Zhenya yells: Hold on, I'll call the police now! With nothing to do, I repeat the process, wash my hands, turn on the hair dryer, the hair dryer turns off, the door opens. Then I read somewhere a story about how a dude went to the same fancy toilet in France. Having paid the prescribed centimes, our compatriot could not even assume that everything inside the cabin is sterile clean, and therefore, as it should be for a clean homo sapiens, he climbed his feet on the toilet drained, something is wrong, turned on disinfection.
asocial
The dude is sitting on the potty, doing his own thing, and then the light turned off, and the shower from the disinfectant pours on him! He jumped off the toilet, the computer jammed altogether: the door was closed, but a man appeared?! And hovered, after turning on the dryer with jets of hot air. For several hours, rescuers cut the vandal-resistant doors with an autogenous, pulling the distraught poor fellow from the tenacious paws of the Parisian toilet. So I got off easy!
Active life position
“Life is like games: some come to compete, some to trade, and the happiest ones to watch,” said Leo Tolstoy, speaking about a person’s life position. Whether he was right or not, everyone determines for himself. To assert that there are no grains of rationality in his words would be at least unreasonable. Meanwhile, in order not to misunderstand the words of the writer, you need to figure out what an active life position means in general, and then determine what it means purely for each individual.
Definition of the concept of "active life position"
The active life position of a person is nothing more than an indifferent attitude to the world around, which is manifested in the actions and thoughts of the individual himself. The first thing that many pay attention to when communicating with a stranger is his position in life. It is she who distinguishes us from each other psychologically. This position in life allows or does not allow each person to overcome difficulties. Sometimes it is the cause of our success or failure. Moreover, in many ways it is the life position that determines the fate of a person.
Life position has a manifestation in all spheres of life, influencing moral and spiritual positions, socio-political and labor activity. An active position is characterized by a quick reaction of a certain person to life situations and a widespread readiness for specific actions.
It will not be superfluous to note that the life position in general includes:
- political preferences;
- worldview of a person;
- its principles, etc.
Formation of an active life position
It has been formed since human birth. The foundation of its appearance is communication with others, their influence on the personal development of each of us.
It is initiative that holds the true secret of developing an active life position. But its growth, like everything else in the universe, needs a kind of "battery" that will give energy for this improvement. Your "battery" is desires. After all, only they are able to force them to fight with difficulties, helping to achieve the desired goals.
All of us have ever come across people whose life was dominated by an active position. They internally stand out from those around them. In companies, they are often leaders.
Definition of the concept of "asociality"
Such individuals are able to lead society, because their point of view and inner potential cause a desire to follow them.
Types of an active life position of a person
Position "positive" is set to comply moral standards and the victory of good over evil.
Position "negative". You should not think that active people are necessarily those who act only “good”, on the contrary, you need to understand that their actions can also be harmful to society and themselves. What do you think, all kinds of gangs and gangs created by whom? That's right, active individuals, with certain, pronounced beliefs and specific goals that are harmful to society.
Our life is not something static and unchanging. It changes with the passage of time, the development of new technologies and the influence of people on our inner world. It is only important to be interested in improving the surrounding world.
For people of the first type, the main thing is not only to get hung up on their own and only their experiences, but also on global issues of the whole world. True, not everyone can personal qualities uplift for the benefit of society, and set the principles, beliefs, worldview to achieve success. But what will be the position in life depends only on the person himself.
Healthy lifestyle - concept, components
Today we will talk about a healthy lifestyle (HLS). Every person in his life heard the words about a healthy lifestyle, that it helps to live up to 100 years and look young and well-groomed.
ASOCIAL
But why then do we neglect this and do not try to fulfill the basic elements healthy lifestyle life? Maybe because we don't know what it is. But if you look into this issue, then there is nothing impossible for a person.
What is a healthy lifestyle and its components.
Healthy lifestyle is a way of life that is aimed at preventing diseases and strengthening the human body with the help of simple components - proper nutrition, playing sports, giving up bad habits and calm, not causing nervous shocks
Changes in the environment make a person think about a healthy lifestyle, work that causes stress, news that constantly broadcasts about a bad political situation and military operations in different countries. All this worsens the state of health. But all this can be solved if we remember such points as:
- it is necessary to cultivate the habit of leading a healthy lifestyle from early childhood;
- be aware that the environment does not always benefit the human body;
- remember that cigarettes, alcohol and drugs cause irreparable damage to human health;
- proper nutrition improves health, reduces the risk of diseases of the cardiovascular system, improves the condition of the skin, hair and nails, and also contributes to better digestion;
- playing sports makes it possible to feel cheerful throughout life;
- emotional, psychological and spiritual well-being.
We will look at how each element of a healthy lifestyle affects a person and what needs to be done for this.
To better understand why to lead a healthy lifestyle, it is worth understanding what a person who does not do this looks like.
Human life without a healthy lifestyle
A person who leads a healthy lifestyle stands out in the crowd. But why can't everyone constantly improve their well-being? Everything is connected with the people who surround the person. For example, if the family does not like to play sports, then the child will refuse to run or exercise in the morning. If the whole nation loves to eat at the fast food cafes that are located on every corner, then one person will not resist this. This situation is developing in America, when people living in the country began to be called the "fast food nation". What happens if pregnant women stop taking care of their health? This situation can lead to the birth of a whole generation of unhealthy babies. In addition, it is worth remembering about genetic inheritance. Maastricht University scientists have proven that bad habits paternal line passed on not only to children, but also to grandchildren and great-grandchildren. This means that a generation of people with bad habits and poor health will grow up in the family.
To all this, work in the office is added, which is sedentary, and by a certain age makes itself felt in the form of obesity, disorders of the musculoskeletal system and other diseases. The stress that accompanies the working day leads to disruption of the nervous and cardiovascular systems.
A person can fight these factors on his own if he finds a place in his life to lead a healthy lifestyle. But there are moments that a person cannot influence, and they have a negative impact on the human body. Such moments include ecological state environment. Polluted water bodies, exhaust gases, increased background radiation and much more reduce a person's life for decades. Every year the number of people who get cancer increases. Frequent headaches that appear in people living in a metropolis associated with high level noise. And how many people, and young ones, are suffering from change weather conditions? How many young people are dying from diseases that used to affect only the elderly? We can say that a lot ....
Only a person can change this or at least reduce the impact. negative factors environment on your body. To do this, it is enough to lead a healthy lifestyle.
Sports and healthy lifestyle
Healthy lifestyle is an active movement. Many people are driven to exercise by a sedentary lifestyle. If shortness of breath begins to appear while climbing the stairs, then it's time to go in for sports.
Sport allows you to improve the condition of the body, both inside and out. An active lifestyle improves blood circulation, strengthens cardiovascular system improves metabolism, strengthens immune system, allows you to lose extra pounds and much more.
Playing sports is very easy. Firstly, you can contact fitness centers, sign up for gymnastics or dancing classes. All this will strengthen the body and exercise under the supervision of trainers who know what loads to give to a particular person. Of course, this option may not be suitable for everyone, because it requires certain material costs. The second option is suitable for people who are limited financially. Today there are many sports grounds that allow you to play sports, it is enough to decide on its type.
Run is the most popular sport. It is best to use warm-up or jogging. This type allows you to strengthen the body, especially the games of the legs and buttocks, relieve tension after a hard day, make breathing even and improve blood circulation. For one hour of classes, you can spend 800-1000 calories.
Bicycling a great opportunity to improve your well-being. Helps improve blood circulation and metabolism, strengthen leg muscles. For one hour of classes allows you to spend 300-600 calories.
Every family has a simple sports equipment - a jump rope. Jumping rope can replace jogging, especially if it's raining outside. To strengthen your body, it is enough to devote 5 minutes of your time every day to jumping rope.
In snowy winter skiing improves blood circulation and makes all muscles elastic. In summer, skiing is replaced by swimming, which has the same effect on the body.
Do not forget about sports such as volleyball, basketball, tennis, football. In this case, the whole family or friends can be involved in active sports. In this case, it will be not only useful, but also fun.
Proper nutrition
Healthy lifestyle- This is proper nutrition, which is combined with sports. Many people think that healthy and healthy food is not tasty. But today food industry allows you to make any dish delicious. Therefore, if you want to live long and look young, start eating right.
To create healthy eating it is necessary, first of all, to forget about food with flavor enhancers, flavors and preservatives, and most importantly, forget the way to a fast food cafe. They turn food into poison for human body. They do not provide the body with the necessary vitamins, minerals and other substances that help all organs work as one well-coordinated mechanism.
Many people think that a healthy diet is eating only fruits and vegetables. But that's not the case at all. Vegetables and fruits can also harm the body. Now, during the cultivation of vegetables and fruits, chemicals are used, which then enter the human body, poisoning it. In order not to poison and harm yourself, you should remember one rule - eat fruits and vegetables according to the season. If tomatoes and cucumbers for our country ripen in June-August, that is, we need them during this period, and not in winter.
Don't forget the meat. With proper nutrition, many cross it out of the diet. But it must be present in the human diet, because it saturates the body with the necessary proteins, fats and carbohydrates. The main thing here is not to overdo it. You can eat 200 grams of boiled meat per day, such as beef.
Dairy products are necessary for the body to saturate it with calcium. If you drink a glass of milk in the morning or eat 200 grams of cottage cheese, then this will only benefit.
Work and healthy lifestyle
Healthy lifestyle- It's quiet and peaceful work. But, unfortunately, no one has such a job.
Every working day is stressful and nervous. Add to this a sedentary lifestyle and a computer in front of your eyes. Usually, after an unbalanced conversation, a person begins to drink coffee, smoke or use alcohol. large quantities chocolate, alcohol, drugs. But you lead a healthy lifestyle, so instead of coffee - green tea, and instead of chocolate - fruits, especially bright color like an orange or a banana.
Be sure to get up from the table once an hour. You can go out for a walk around the office or do exercises for the eyes so that they rest from the computer.
Lunch break is best spent outdoors. It is good if there is a park near the office where you can take a walk.
Don't rush home after work. Walk on a warm day good way calm down after a working day and come home in a good mood.
Bad habits
A healthy lifestyle is “stop bad habits”. You can not lead a healthy lifestyle and at the same time smoke, drink alcohol or drugs. All this negates the efforts to make the body strong and prolong the years of life.
Smoking is one of the most common bad habits. There are big anti-tobacco campaigns in every country, but none of them has reduced the number of smokers. Cigarettes allow you to relieve stress, calm down and relax. They are used by people after stressful situations. But no one thinks that, along with the relaxing properties of a cigarette, it causes irreparable harm to the body. During smoking, nicotine, hydrocyanic acid, ammonia, carbon monoxide, tar and radioactive substances enter the body, which lead to strokes, heart attacks and the development of cancer. In addition, it is worth remembering that it is not the smoker who suffers more from smoking, but the people who surround him. The above substances also enter a healthy family member and cause headaches, dizziness, decreased performance and more serious illness.
Alcohol is no less harmful than cigarettes. But the worst thing is that its excessive use leads a person to degradation. Alcohol does a lot of harm to the heart. The muscles of the heart become flabby, and contractions become sluggish. When alcohol is consumed, metabolism worsens, the walls of blood vessels become thin, blood clotting increases, as a result, a heart attack occurs and atherosclerosis develops. Alcohol disrupts work digestive system, resulting in gastritis, ulcers, malignant tumors and cirrhosis of the liver. Suffering respiratory system and kidneys. The body does not resist viral infections.
Only drugs can be worse than alcohol and cigarettes. All people on the planet say that drugs are dangerous for the human body. Many people use them to relax. In small doses, they bring euphoria and good mood. Increasing the dose makes people more dependent on them and quickly destroys the body from the inside. People who use drugs look 10-20 years older than their peers, and their lives turn into survival just for the sake of getting another dose of a drug.
A healthy lifestyle and bad habits are antonyms in a person's life. They cannot coexist and intersect in human life. A person will have to choose between a long and good life or death at the age of 40.

The adjective "asocial" is used in relation to a wide range of concepts: an asocial lifestyle, an asocial personality, asocial families ...
In all these cases, it means that a certain person (or maybe a group of people) to one degree or another does not comply with the norms accepted in society. After all, "asocial" is literally "anti-social", denying society, not taking into account the needs of its members.
Personality type
Psychologists distinguish the so-called asocial personality type (otherwise it is called a sociopathic type or simply a sociopath). A characteristic of this type usually consists of the following main features:
- Inability to express your emotions.
- Ignoring the public and unspoken rules that have developed in society.
- Ease of manipulating others, convincing role-playing, lying in self-interest.
- Aggression as a universal response to external stimuli.
- Lack of shame and remorse, inability to understand that his actions bring suffering to people around.
- Confidence in the correctness of their behavior.
- Impulsivity, the desire to satisfy needs immediately, here and now.
- Selfishness. Own needs always come first, above the needs and needs of others, above any social restrictions.
In general, it is worth noting that asociality can take a wide variety of forms; accordingly, there is no clearly limited set of features inherent in the character of a sociopath. However, in an attempt to isolate the most bright features, allowing us to speak with great confidence about the antisocial personality type, a list of four points was compiled.
Secondly, such a person cannot sincerely love, cannot show tenderness and sensitivity to a partner. Paradoxically, at the same time, antisocial people are often outwardly attractive and charismatic and, as a result, are surrounded by fans. However, the maximum that these fans will get is superficial relationships, short-term connections.
Thirdly, antisocials do not use past negative experience in any way. In other words, it is useless to hope that a sociopath will remember how much suffering and (or) inconvenience to others this or that act of his caused him, and will not repeat it.
Finally, and this trait has also been noted, an antisocial person will never feel guilty or tormented by remorse. He just doesn't understand why he's being blamed.
Sociopath child
The mentioned features, as a rule, become noticeable quite early. Asocial children are capricious, irritable, often hyperactive, tend to control adults and achieve what they want at any cost. They are cruel to their peers, often insulting or humiliating them.
By the way, an interesting observation: for members of a criminal group, usually great importance have rules in place within it, including, for example, rules against ratting out other gang members, requiring respect for the leader, and so on. These rules require accepting and considering the needs of others, while asocial individuals will never do this.
It is important to understand that one-time antisocial acts do not mean that your son or daughter has antisocial personality disorder. But if all the described phenomena are observed regularly, and the conclusions of specialists are appropriate, then most likely the child really has a tendency to asociality.
From a child predisposed to sociopathy, a completely antisocial personality does not develop with absolute probability. How do antisocial tendencies arise, is it possible to fight them? In other words, is asociality congenital or acquired? Let's look at the causes of antisocial disorder.
Causes
There are three interrelated groups of factors under the influence of which a sociopath is formed.
The list of social factors includes, for example, rough or aggressive treatment of the child in the family, indifference to him, lack of attention. So destructive for the psyche - even an adult, and not just a growing person! - the situation is often characteristic of families where the parents themselves have psychological problems, so we can say that social factors often superimposed on biological ones, and therefore, the likelihood of developing and strengthening sociopathic personality traits increases.
Such asocial families need supervision from the guardianship authorities. In extreme cases, it is necessary to separate children and parents so that the child sees other examples, values and guidelines in front of him. Also, the prevention of antisocial behavior may include other measures, among which the following are most common:
- Involving children with antisocial tendencies in sports, creative or other extracurricular activities (to provide the necessary burst of energy).
- Promotion of a healthy lifestyle and behavior approved by society.
- Psychological interviews with both parents and children.
Prevention of antisocial phenomena, of course, will give the proper result only if it is carried out both at school (or other institution attended by the child) and at home.
A person is pre-configured to the fact that all the actions of others that he does not like are done on purpose to cause inconvenience to him. He expects people around him to show anger and aggression towards him, and he himself intends to respond in kind.
And when peers or adults really get irritated, scream, or even use physical violence, a person predisposed to asociality only strengthens in the loyalty of his views. Vicious circle which is extremely difficult to break.
Thus, the causes of antisocial behavior can be explained by biological, social and personal factors, and most likely, a combination of several of them. Author: Evgeniya Bessonova
