Stereotypes and Relationships: A Conflictologist's View
There is so much in this word at once, but people in most cases see only the bad in this concept. Is this true? Yes and no.
Yes, stereotyping, like categorization, allows us to form a stable perception of certain things, events, and even emotions, the appearance of people, says conflictologist Gleb Trufanov.
When we see a person for the first time, and not only that, what catches our eye? Almost everything: gait, direction of gaze, color of lipstick, smell of perfume.
We get caught up in these details and start spinning the eternal flywheel of analysis, preventing us from focusing on… simple communication and receiving feedback.
Yes, being a fan of deduction is not bad, and analysis and intuition can save you from mistakes. But do not forget about being in the moment and gaining new experience on a date here and now.
A beautiful girl will not necessarily be arrogant and have armies of admirers, and a quiet and shy guy or man will not be confident. The key to this riddle lies in the details, first of all in communication. Get to know and open up to each other.
Frankness can be, let's say, unpleasant and painful, but it's better this way than to regret and suffer a thousand times later. So very soon you will be able to learn the person's history, and then try to understand him.
Thus, a beauty can be far from lonely and seeking acceptance and understanding of her delicate nature, which is drawn to painting master classes, and a shy young man can simply be traumatized by past relationships or have never had any at all.
Don't let persistent stereotypes take away your experience!
