Melancholics too can have fun!

The defining feature of a melancholic is perfectionism.

The Melancholy is an introverted, logical, analytical, private, lets-do-it-right person. Melancholics respond to others in a slow, cautious and indirect manner. They think and plan before they act; they are not the types who will resort to rash, impulsive behaviour, and will panic if they are unable to plan in advance. Melancholics are very emotional. They are moved deeply by beauty, and by distress. Melancholies are reserved and suspicious until sure of your intentions. They are timid and may appear unsure and have a serious expression.

Those are some characteristics of a perfect melancholy, in other words, they can be termed ‘boring’. The word ‘melancholy’ suggests emotions like sadness, pessimism and the likes, however, it is not an illness, rather a part of being human. Melancholy is a species of sadness that arises when we are open to the fact that life is inherently difficult and that suffering and disappointment are core parts of universal experience.

Here are some ways someone of a melancholic temperament can have a good time as well;

  1. Consider joining a sports team, take a class, or volunteering within your community. If you are very shy, find a group for social anxiety, even if it has to be online.
  2. Consider going to a gym. Try to do some exercise at the gym as opposed to an alone time for many hours indoors.
  3. Try something entirely new. You could learn to play an instrument you did not know about, learn to draw, cook a new meal or learn to dance.
  4. Dig yourself into your hobbies. What are your hobbies? What are you interested in? Join a book club, a writing course, an art class, a computer programming course. Whatever rocks your boat, find a little twist to it.
  5. Connect with people online. Sometimes connecting with people online can be easier than connecting with them in person and online communities can be valuable ways for you to share your thoughts or ask questions. Remember to be safe when online too.
