How much Melancholic is too much Melancholy?

I know right! It’s too confusing to understand what do I actually mean.

Primarily let’s understand, who the melancholic is?

He is the person who is always sad or is in a depressed state of mind …. If we stick to the dictionary.

Besides, Melancholy in a broader sense is the feeling of disconnection from the people you love. Sensitive towards everything that either is or not in your control. Constant worry, introspection, pessimism. Feeling empty and meaningless.

He is a Melancholic, too careful and observant. He knows it all yet doesn’t want to know the truth. He is a flagbearer of positivity and optimism yet it scares him the most. Trusting people never seems an option. Being judged is an incessant fret.

Yet he is peaceful and quiet to the outer world despite the mayhem inside him. It’s his temperament what can we do? Has he always been the same or something inside him crushed into thousand pieces; gone unacknowledged?

So, the question remains how much Melancholic is too much Melancholy?

If u ask me,

Being Melancholic is a personality/ temperament. People with melancholic traits are believed to be perfectionists, they usually set high goals and expect things to happen in a certain way (perfect to them).

They like to spend time with their own thoughts in pleasance rather than with other people.

“For some nights I slept profoundly, but still every morning I felt the same lassitude, and a languor weighed upon me all day. I felt myself a changed girl.”

-Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu.

I am the one with the same personality trait. It doesn’t mean that I am sad and depressed all the time. Sure, there are days when you don’t feel like talking to people or are too drained to be part of the process.

Yes! I can be moody, indecisive, and difficult yet I am creative, introspective, and adventurous too.

I am so many things all at once, there are days when I don’t want to leave the bed, and on days I want to conquer the world on my own.

I have suspicions but I don’t like to hurt people. I am an introvert who is not comfortable opening up(hate judgments or being judged) and on occasions, I like talking and spending time with people.

CONFUSING? like my existence..😝😝

With that being said I believe we should not become slaves of our personalities, it’s important that we come out of our comfort zone more often and do things that scare us.✔️
