All people from birth are prone to optimism or pessimism. This was stated by the psychologist Elena Solovieva.
She noted that the main role in this matter is played by the character of a person, since everyone cannot be equally happy. And don’t forget about genetics.
“When a person genetically gets some baggage, for example, a tendency to emotional pessimism, but he also has a second part – individuality. Therefore, a person can build his life so that there is more happiness in his life. If we say that there are so-called codes of happiness that are genetically transmitted – this is necessary so that future generations have the opportunity to feel happiness”– the specialist shared with the radio “Moscow Speaks”.
At the same time, being 100 percent happy all the time is practically unrealistic if there is no way to “turn off the connection with this world.”
The psychologist reminded that each person has his own concept of the word “happiness”. According to her, only a happy person is able to answer the following three questions: “Who am I?”, “Where am I going?”, “How satisfied am I with self-realization?”
Solovieva also added that at the moment psychologists continue to argue about whether it is possible to be 100 percent happy. This is due to the fact that the world itself is imperfect and all people react to these imperfections.
Earlier in the day, psychologist Elena Tur talked about the top three reasons for weight gain.
