HYPOTHYME

The hypothymic psychotype is characterized by a tendency towards excessive sadness, pessimism, and despondency. People of this type experience negative emotions more often than others, as well as apathy and loss of interest in life. Quite often, they may feel tired, lacking initiative, and devoid of energy.

Hypothymic individuals focus on the negative aspects of life and struggle to find joy and satisfaction, but this focus allows them to notice mistakes and gaps in various working processеs. The hypothyme is a born critic; they see flaws in the system and negative qualities in people. Often, hypothymes exhibit negativity towards loved ones, leading to relationship breakdowns. As a result, loneliness and detachment are normal states for the hypothymes. They are often indifferent to others' misfortune and are not particularly empathetic in such moments. Monotonous work brings them comfort and a sense of stability. They strive to adhere to all societal norms and rules, even when they disagree with them. Hypothymes criticize other people for not adhering to unwritten social norms and rules.

The hypothymic psychotype is inclined not only towards criticism but also towards self-criticism, lowering their self-esteem and negatively affecting their self-perception. Criticism often leads them to develop a professional career as inspectors, literary critics, and other variations of scrutinizing professions. Additionally, Hypothymes try to induce guilt in people through various means to achieve their goals.

Hypothymic individuals have a low level of interest in daily tasks, they become irritable during beautiful and bright events, they often experience social isolation, and their activity level periodically decreases. They may struggle with communicating with others due to their pessimistic worldview and negative outlook on life.
