(aspects of) character [Content Warning - includes disturbing/harmful matters]

I've decided to create this post so I can plonk a few links about various aspects of character here, rather than go searching for links when I want to write about an aspect of character. 

Emotions are a separate matter, which I have started to address at emotions [Content Warning: discussion includes "negative" emotions, harm, and trauma]. That post includes:

• Post No. 183 - Avoiding positive energy;
  
• Post No. 221 - Inappropriate reactions to (agape) love;
• Post No. 197 - Personality - which is about choice of characteristics in the search for uniqueness; 
  

 

   <future aspects>   

General posts: 

• Why won’t/don’t people change?
  Some people, I think, are afraid they might have to grieve at the loss of outdated and wrong ideas - ideas that they are emotionally addicted to. This has to be addressed at an emotional level, ultimately -  addressing the head (thinking) initially is just the doorway to the heart.
