總結神經質的人的10大標誌

're hyper aware

10.他們高度緊張

Being neurotic means you're constantly aware of everything around you. You pick up on people's body language and voice inflections, and analyze every word that comes out of their mouth. Because of this, you're not surprised by ulterior motives or when a person's true colors show. Ironically, being hyper-aware of everything and everyone around you helps you keep your cool when things go sour.

如果你是一個神經質的人，你會對周圍的事情關注入微，你會捕捉人們的肢體語言和說話聲音，並分析從他們嘴裏流露出的每一個字。因此，你不會因爲一部隱晦不明的電影或者某個人的真實面目感到驚訝。諷刺的是，高度緊張周圍的一切能夠讓你在事態變壞時保持從容的姿態。

're overly self-conscious

9.他們過分在意自己

Because you're constantly worried about yourself, you're more likely to take care of yourself. The student who is scared of failing will spend extra time in the library, leading them to be even more prepared for an exam than they need to be. The person who's scared of dying of a heart attack in his forties will certainly eat healthier and exercise more often than someone who doesn't worry about his demise.

因爲你一直擔心自己哪裏不夠好，所以你能更好地打理好自己。就像害怕考試不及格的學生空閒時會在圖書館呆更久，爲一場測試仔細準備，遠超出了需要複習的範圍。就像害怕在40多歲就死於心臟病的人會吃更健康的食物，比那些不擔心死亡的人鍛鍊更多。

're self-aware

8.他們有清醒的自我認知

Neurotic people know they're neurotic. In fact, they flaunt it at times, saying things like "I know I'm being crazy, but…" While it may be hard to break a neurotic thought or habit, many people go throughout their day with paranoid thoughts running through their head without even realizing it. At least neurotic people are able to recognize it and rationalize it. They might not be able to get past knowing "It's all in my head," but at least they can acknowledge it.

神經質的人知道他們有這種症狀。事實上，她們偶爾也會跟人炫耀說"我知道我是個瘋子，但是…"儘管要改變一個神經質的人的想法和愛好很困難，但很多患有妄想症的人甚至都還沒有意識到自身的症狀，就這麼度過一天。神經質的人至少能夠辨識出來。他們雖然可能不會一直提醒自己"他一直在我腦海裏"，但至少他們能夠承認。

're pessimistically realistic

7.他們是悲觀的現實主義者

Neurotic people tend to err on the side of pessimism when it comes to anything in the real world. But this is because they know that good things don't just "happen," and that Murphy's Law exists because there is a better chance of something going wrong along the way than everything going exactly according to plan. The good part about this pessimism is that when things do go right, it's like Christmas Day for a neurotic individual. Even something as simple as the guy at Dunkin' Donuts getting your order right and then hitting every green light on the way home from work will be enough to cheer you up. It really is the little things in life that make a difference.

做某件事時，神經質的人往往會從悲觀的角度來尋找錯誤。這是因爲他們相信好事不會單純的發生，相信墨菲定律（Murphy's Law），比起每件事都能按照計劃完美的進行，其中出現小差錯的機率更大。悲觀主義裏好的成分就是當事情真的順利進行時，神經質的人會好像度過了聖誕節。甚至有些像鄧肯甜甜圈（Dunkin's Donuts）的服務員爲你遞上你點的甜甜圈、回家路上正好遇上綠燈這樣的事都足以讓你開心，這真的是對我們生命造成影響的一些小事情。

have a high IQ

6.他們擁有高智商

A study at SUNY Downstate Medical Centre of 42 individuals showed that those who suffered from anxiety also had a higher IQ on average. The report showed that "high intelligence and worry are linked with brain activity measured by the depletion of the nutrient choline in the white matter of the brain." High levels of anxiety lead to a mind that is constantly working in some way, which, naturally, leads to higher levels of intelligence. Those that worry too much are actually exercising their brain!

紐約州立醫療中心調查了42個人，結果顯示焦慮不安的人平均智商更高。報告顯示，通過測量大腦白質裏營養膽鹼的消耗，得出了高智商和焦慮與大腦活動有關的結論。高度焦慮在一定程度上會讓你的思想不斷碰撞，自然而然地產生了高智商。擔憂多一點實際上是在鍛鍊大腦。

care for others

5.他們很關心其他人

Neurotic people don't just worry about themselves, either. They worry and look after their friends, family, and loved ones constantly. They're always trying to help people through difficult situations and solve other people's problems. This parental aspect of neurotic people gives them comfort, as it does to those around them as well.

神經質的人不僅僅只爲自己擔心，他們也會擔心並照顧他們的朋友、家人，他們會一直愛着某一個人。他們總是很樂意對處於困境中的人們伸出援手，想要幫住他們解決問題。神經質的人這種類似父母的關心讓他們自己感覺很舒服，他們周圍的人也有同樣的感覺。

have high energy levels

4.他們精力旺盛

Not only are neurotic people always thinking, but they're always ready for action. They have trouble sitting still, because their mind is always racing. But they also never seem to run out of steam, because they know they could be doing something to better their lives at any given moment.

神經質的人不僅會思考，他們也會付諸行動。他們一刻也坐不住，因爲他們的思想在翱翔着。他們似乎從來不會感到精疲力竭，因爲他們知道在某個特定的時刻，他們能做些什麼讓生活更美好。

're highly productive

3.他們有高生產力

Since they can't sit still, neurotic people might as well be productive. They have many hobbies, and are never content with resting on their laurels. They see every moment as another chance to succeed and do better in life. Because of this attitude, neurotic people often find themselves leaps and bounds ahead of everyone else around them as far as productivity and talent is concerned.

因爲神經質的人坐不住，他們往往是多產的。他們有許多愛好，並且從不會因爲贏得的榮譽而停止前進。他們把每一個時刻都當成是成功並且讓生活更加美好的又一個機會。由於這種態度，就多產和天賦來說，他們經常能發現自己遠遠領先於周圍的普通人。

're idealistic

2.他們是理想主義者

Even though most neurotic people are pessimistic, they also work hard to improve their surroundings as well. They understand how good things could be, and will do anything to get there. It's ironic, but their pessimism drives them to optimize their situation. And while others are thinking things are fine, the neurotic person will constantly be working to make them even better.

儘管大部分神經質的人都是悲觀的，但他們也會努力工作改善周圍的環境。他們明白想要什麼樣的結果，就得爲之付出什麼樣的努力。這是諷刺的，他們的悲觀反而讓他們對所處環境抱有樂觀的態度。其他人在光想着事情變好的時候，他們一直在努力工作讓事情變好。

avoid bad situations

1.他們能避開壞情況

Obviously, being a worrywart isn't always a bad thing. Neurotic people avoid dangerous situations. While other people might be tempted to claim "YOLO" as if that's an excuse to do something stupid, anxious people will be the ones saying "Yeah, you only live once, so don't mess it up." Sure, they might never experience the thrill of skydiving, but they'll almost certainly live a long, healthy life.

顯而易見，成爲一個杞人憂天的人並不見得就是一件壞事。神經質的人能避開危險的情況。當其他人受到誘惑高呼"你只會活一次"，並把它當成做傻事的藉口時，杞人憂天者會說："是的，你只能活一次，所以不能把它搞砸了。"當然，他們可能一輩子也體會不到跳水運動的刺激與興奮，但他們肯定能活得更長久、更健康。
