The word pusillanimous is a term that we usually use when we want to express the lack of courage, of courage, that someone presents when it comes time to face an adverse situation, to overcome obstacles that appear on the way to a goal, or dealing with a very painful scenario. “My brother is so cowardly that he will never confront our father to defend his position.”
Person without courage, courage, courage
Clearly from the above it is clear that the cowardly is the opposite of the brave, the hero, the individual who faces everything to achieve what he wants, or who recovers quickly from some tragedy.
This concept is clearly used with an absolutely negative consideration in relation to who it is addressed to.
We cannot ignore that it is a word that today enjoys quite a significant disuse, being replaced by other concepts such as cowardly, fearful, among the most common, but this does not make a dent in the fact that when it is applied it implies a grievance, or a bad consideration regarding who it is directed.
No guts and zest to face problems or overcome tragedies
Generally, the fainthearted stands out for not having enough or necessary guts to face a challenge or obstacle that prevents their action.
Feeling of inferiority and fear of change
Also, another frequent characteristic that we find in the fainthearted is the inferiority complex that they present with respect to the others, that is, when buying from others, he believes that it is much less even though such a situation is not actually the case, and for example is reading about himself, erroneous many times, leads him to give up when facing another, whom he considers superior to him, for example, is that with this type of person, the specialists, must work a lot on the issue of raise the self-esteem.
Doubt, fear of social prejudices, especially what they will say about me if I decide to carry out this or that action, are conditions that are very present in the faint-hearted.
From the above, it is not very difficult to perceive that the fainthearted does not have a blissful, happy and peaceful existence in life at all, but rather a very on the contrary, because his constant fears, doubts, cause him to back down in decisions and choices that probably make him a happier individual, but since the lack of audacity is such for the fainthearted, he will never advance in that action, behavior, that implies a change of course, he prefers follow, continue immersed in the same state of affairs rather than suffer a setback that scares him even more.
We can say that the faint-hearted is also afraid of change, of everything that may involve risks, something different, that he does not know and that he does not know How can he get out, then, he prefers, as we said, to stay in the known situation in which he finds himself, even if it is not the one that does it happy.
It should be noted that in the delineation of this profile, as in so many others, parenting, the messages that the individual has been receiving and assimilating from the environment closest to him, the experience.
If you were raised with a predominance of fear, surely that is your most salient characteristic when it comes to acting and think in the life.
It is recurrent that many faint-hearted ones do not recognize their condition as such, because of course, it is not at all a pride to be, far from it.
From the above, we can conclude that the faint-hearted is a person who is likely to have a psychological problem that influences their well-being emotional, that is to say, that it makes him feel unwell, that he does not feel safe, and for example, I could even negatively influence his physical appearance.
One way out: therapy
People with this problem demand specialized psychological care to help them overcome this trauma of having to face difficult issues because they believe they cannot overcome them.
Of course, in many cases they may have a biased and mistaken view of themselves, erroneously constructed by the influence of others. Through the years, and then, a therapy can help them to identify the problem and to be able to recover those guts that they think they do not have.
While, boldness, momentum and courage they are characteristics that are directly opposed to the fainthearted.
