What's Personality? ๐ค
- Definition: Aspects of an individual that are stable and enduring, which make them unique but also allow comparisons with others. (Simplified: What makes you, YOU!)
- Real-world example: Think of your friend who ALWAYS chooses spicy food - that's a part of their personality.
Why is Personality Stability Important? ๐ก
- Reason: We need to predict how people act. Stable personality = predictable behavior.
- Real-world example: Knowing your little brother will always want the last slice of pizza helps you plan a prank (or maybe just hide it).
The Impact of Unpredictable Personalities ๐ช๏ธ
- Growing up around unpredictable adults can be emotionally damaging.
- Real-world example: Imagine if you couldn’t predict when your teacher would assign homework or give surprise tests – school would be chaos!
Mental Illness & Personality ๐
- Mental illnesses, like bipolar depression, can cause fluctuating feelings and behaviors.
- Famous people, like Frank Bruno (boxing) and Robert Enke (soccer), have battled mental illnesses.
- These fluctuations make it hard for loved ones to understand and support them.
Mental Illness Stigma ๐ฐ
- People with bipolar depression often feel isolated because others find it hard to predict and understand their changing behaviors.
- Real-world example: It’s like trying to catch a butterfly that keeps changing direction – it’s beautiful, but unpredictable!
