Modern people often confuse such concepts as "modesty" and "tightness". Despite some similarities, these words still mean different characteristics that a person can have.
What is humility
Modesty is a quality of character. A modest person maintains moderation in his requirements, does not strive for luxury and does not try to excel, and also observes the framework of decency in society, most often he is laconic. Modesty is acquired by a person in childhood or adolescence in the process of proper upbringing on the part of adults, obtaining a high level of education, being well-read and communicating with like-minded people.
It is impossible to re-educate or change a humble person. He can adapt to the environment and be more or less proactive in communication and his actions, but at the same time he remains faithful to his ideals and avoids everything that goes beyond etiquette, humanity and other moral values.
At different times, modest people were valued for their docile nature, the ability to value friendship and, most often, an extraordinary mindset. They are considered to be excellent doctors, teachers, law enforcement officers and other professionals who perform socially important work. The priorities of such people are aimed at helping others; bribery, deception and provocations are alien to them.
Tightness - what is it?
Tightness is no longer a trait of character, but of human behavior. Often it manifests itself precisely in modest people and in this case makes this quality negative. Squeezed people most often avoid being in society for a long time and have problems with communication. It is difficult for them to start a conversation first, to find the right words. Such people are usually sedentary and lack of initiative.
A person can become squeezed after receiving any psychological trauma, for example, if they were attacked by parents and peers in childhood or often witnessed the manifestation of similar behavior towards other people. According to experts from the field of psychiatry, the tightness must be eradicated independently or seek help from professionals.
If a person refrains from showing emotions, proactive actions, communicating with other people and especially the opposite sex for a long time, he begins to experience frequent depression and acquires an unstable psyche against this background. People, who are notable for tightness, hide their true thoughts from those around them, and one day they may "splash out" outside, which often leads to the commission of grave acts and crimes against other people.
