Type C Personality: The necessary care
We all want to get along with our family and friends regardless of the context. Sometimes it happens that one of our loved ones has a specific personality type that needs special treatment. Such is the case of those individuals who possess a Type C Personality.
These persons tend to be rational, calm, and even peaceful persons who shy away from conflict. Unfortunately this temperament has another aspect: The Type C Personality also repress negative emotions such as anger and fear. Sometimes they cope with complex situations by repressing their emotions, denying them and inhibiting them completely. Faced with stressful situations, they may even self-harm.
If you have a friend or family member with this personality you should help them in some way.
Care
If you have realized that your partner, family member or friend has a Type C Personality, you need to help him/her in a subtle way so that he/she does not feel invaded. Subtle is the key word right now… for if you are invasive he/she will shut down even more. Simply talk to him/her about topics that he/she likes, whatever the subject may be. This will relax him/her and you will be able to ask him/her how he/she feels about a certain situation. If you trust each other, he/she will probably be more open to talk about his/her feelings.
Never judge them, just listen to them and engage with them at key times. A person with the Type-C Personality would literally relax around you.
