RE: Psychology Addict # 29 |The Architecture of Sustainable Happiness – Positive Psychology
My subjective well-being dropped like 70% when I read:
Extraversion, along with other factors we will discuss next, is one of the features seen in the people who report to experience high levels of subjective well-being most of the time.
However, it did get back to my innate baseline level sooner rather than later. : )
Would you say that extraversion correlates with seeking leisure activities in general or only with seeking social leisure activities?
Maybe the amount of positive effect of being in a relationship also depends on intraversion/extraversion - my guess is that extraverts both need and enjoy it somewhat more than introverts.
I might be wrong, but, although I wouldn't mind having financial security at all, I would say that people who stated financial security as their top benefit from the relationship are hardly in a really high-quality relationship.
It is interesting how hard it can be to accept and forgive your own minor flaws or mistakes, while you would easily accept and forgive those same flaws or mistakes if you found them in other people. Actually, little idiosyncratic flaws and mistakes can sometimes even raise the attraction of a person!
Cheers! : )
Hi @lifenbeauty :)
What a beautiful comment this is!! The beginning of it actually made me laugh out loud. :D
Although extraverts seek social leisure activities in general, the tendency is to go for more social ones! I completely agree with what you said about the enjoyment extraverts and introvert get out of a relationship. In general, extraverts get more enjoyment out of things than introverts, for sure!
Your observation on financial stability is indeed a valid one! However, this is a finding that is aligned with Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
Your final paragraph is very, very interesting. You see, in many cases, flexibility with accepting one's own flaws and mistakes is linked with being a perfectionist - another personality trait :)
I wish you a great weekend!
All the best to you always.
