The Melancholy Temperament by Rapzino: 7:59pm On Oct 13, 2014 |
Melancholies are mildly introverted, so they are somewhat quiet by nature. Although they may have an opinion or an answer for most everything, they often do not share unless asked. Melancholies are highly intelligent and very gifted. They love the arts. Many of the greatest artists and musicians of all time have been melancholies. In fact, most performers possess some melancholy traits in their personality. A melancholy typically makes very good grades, has a retentive mind, is analytical, neat and precise. They are good spellers and precise grammarians. They turn work in on time and are very conscientious. They enjoy studying difficult subjects and appreciate the depth of the subject. Melancholies are rarely ever lazy. They are highly motivated and self-disciplined and typically stay physically fit. In fact, they are quite active and tend to feel guilty when they're not working. Melancholies like to follow rules and are very good at keeping commitments. Probably the two most prominent traits of melancholies are that they are very perfectionistic and very sensitive. They are always looking for the perfect mix in everything they do and in themselves. Ironically, they are the one personality who most likely wants a different temperament. They typically have only a few friends because they internalize, are self-occupied and prefer to be alone. They are extremely loyal to the friends they do have as long as you don't betray them or hurt them in some way. Melancholy children are usually model children. Because they seek the approval of everyone around them including parents and teachers, they will need very little correction. It is imperative that melancholy children get involved in lots of arts for their personality to thrive. Explore musical instruments, art, theater, creative writing and dance to find the areas that are best. You may very well have a genius on your hands who will do something great one day given the opportunity. As melancholies become adults, they are often artists, musicians and performers, chefs, authors, interior designers, fashion and costume designers, set designers and playwrights. They love jobs where creativity and innovation abound. Now here's the key about melancholies. Because of their very sensitive nature, they need lots of positive reinforcement. Parents must be very careful not to overdiscipline a melancholy. Their spirit is easily broken, and they can quickly become depressed, discouraged and moody. Their overactive imagination can think up all kinds of negative thoughts, and they can easily get into a blue funk. Because they are already hard on themselves because of their perfectionism, they don't need additional criticism. It is essential to provide constant encouragement to a melancholy in their creative endeavors. They need to know you believe in them and support them. As they grow into teens, their creativity needs to be encouraged, and they need activities which ensure a level of success. Serious arts studies are great for melancholies because they will rise to the top level if given a chance. Lack of encouragement in a melancholy teen can lead them into a dark hole or down a destructive path. Interestingly, Whitney Houston was a beautiful and wonderful person with one of the most amazing voices of all time. However, she had periods in her life in which her bad melancholy traits overcame her and led her to wrong decisions and wrong thinking, causing her to feel that she didn't "measure up." While family and friends cannot be blamed for decisions melancholies make, it is just good to know that we can make a difference in the mind of a young melancholy by giving them lots of support and encouragement. And we can open up a wonderful world to these young people by engaging them in the arts. 9 Likes 5 Shares |

Thorerah:you are right about that, i'm kinda lazy, lol. Do you get tongue-tied too? |
Re: The Melancholy Temperament by naijaboiy: 8:39pm On Oct 13, 2014 |
i'm proudly SanMel I will say 80% sanguine and 20% melancholy I'm the type of person that likes fun and I talk very well,,i also make many friends. One thing with being a sanguine is that you attract people a lot to you. They just wana be close to you. At times the melancholic part takes its toll on me and i'm withdrawn from social activities. Also when i'm in a new environment,,i'll seem like an introvert. I like doing most things by myself and set my own standard. Although i'm usually lazy but my mind is never at rest when that happens. 2 Likes |

I'm not exactly that mild introvert but most of the things listed above describe me except 'the rarely get lazy' part. I guess I don't fit in but I could really get melancholic or introverted or whatever being quiet can be called. Forget Nairaland, no be so I be o. 1 Like 1 Share |

Dygeasy:same here bro, imma lazy dude but because i hate to be criticized i always try to work hard. My life is one of seclusion and i know people think that i'm boring. |
Re: The Melancholy Temperament by Dygeasy(m): 9:06pm On Oct 13, 2014 |
Rapzino:I'm lazy too. My own laziness doesn't stop me from working hard. It only makes me not do what I ought to do when I'm supposed to do it but on a good day I could be a real German & USA Machine combined. how is your life one of seclusion? Are you a priest? |
Re: The Melancholy Temperament by Rapzino: 9:12pm On Oct 13, 2014 |
naijaboiy:my closest cousin is a Sanguine, he's always the centre of attraction where ever we go to. I don't think that guy would ever be shy, he could embarass just any chatter-box. I admire him a lot, although sometimes he embarrasses me. |
Re: The Melancholy Temperament by Rapzino: 9:15pm On Oct 13, 2014 |
Dygeasy:i'm not a priest (your prayer won't work on me bro, tufia!!!), i just love been left alone with my thoughts. I'm just one crazy day-dreamer. |
