We usually try to avoid difficult and toxic personalities. We explain how you can recognize really uncomplicated people.
Energy vampires rob us of our strength and constantly create unnecessary drama. And after all, nobody needs that in life. However, sometimes it can not be so easy at first glance to unmask toxic personalities. And how do we know that a person is really relaxed and uncomplicated?
4 characteristics that make uncomplicated people
1. Self-confidence
It can be stressful for those around you if a person is very insecure and constantly doubts themselves. Because it takes a lot of energy to constantly give someone the confirmation that he or she craves. If we constantly have to reassure a friend that she looks good or that the guests at the party are definitely feeling good, it can become very tedious in the long run.
It’s a lot more pleasant when a person has enough self-confidence to feel comfortable in their own skin. Such uncomplicated people know their worth and are in harmony with themselves. And that’s exactly why they don’t need constant external confirmation.
2. Clear communication
It can be similarly exhausting when we don’t know where we stand with a person. Relaxed, confident people can clearly say what is important to them and what they want. This makes pretty much every interpersonal relationship easier – whether with a partner, in a friendship or at work. It’s much easier if a person just communicates clearly what they mean without fussing or making a big drama out of it.
3. Flexibility
However, some people take the loud communication of their needs to the extreme and absolutely want to impose their will on every decision in everyday life, no matter how unimportant. Uncomplicated people know what they want – but at the same time remain flexible and can adapt to other people and situations.
If the friend suggests a restaurant for the next meeting that is not necessarily her favorite, such personalities don’t have to open a door. They know that next time they can simply suggest another store themselves. You can especially recognize such relaxed people in groups when they don’t desperately put their own needs above those of others.
4. Understanding of others
You’re just about to fall asleep when the thought suddenly pops into your head: “Shit, I didn’t think to reply to that message again today.” And of course: maintaining relationships is an important part of self-care, and that includes staying in contact with other people. But there are phases in life when one piece of news goes unnoticed because other things are more urgent. Simple people can classify something like this and are not immediately offended if they take a little longer to answer. Anyone who takes every little thing personally, no matter how unimportant, simply makes things unnecessarily difficult for those around them.
