YOUR PERSONALITY COLOR AND YOUR PROPENSITY FOR ANXIETY

Your Color Code personality type can determine a lot of interesting things, such as whether you are easily depressed, have a casual approach to life, a critical one or if you’re careful or carefree. It can also determine things that might cause you anxiety.

To give you an idea, here are a few things to consider.

REDS: Need to look good technically, be right, and be respected. They are strong leaders and love challenges. You may experience anxiety if any of your preferences are lacking, or if you are unable to meet your personal or professional expectations.

BLUES: Need to have integrity and be appreciated. They are focused on quality and creating strong relationships. As a Blue, you may experience anxiety if you feel unappreciated, are perceived to be acting without integrity, or meet relationship challenges. 

WHITES: Need to be accepted and treated with kindness. They are logical, objective, and tolerant of others. Anxiety may present when you feel you have been rejected, treated harshly, or feel that others have taken advantage of your tolerance.

YELLOWS: Need to be noticed and have fun. They love life, social connections, and being positive and spontaneous. You could possibly expect to experience anxiety when your spontaneity is prevented and you’re not having fun. Any lack of or decrease in your social activities may produce anxiety. 

According to Beyond Blue, “research suggests that people with certain personality traits are more likely to have anxiety. For example, children who are perfectionists, easily flustered, timid, inhibited, lack self-esteem or want to control everything, sometimes develop anxiety during childhood, adolescence or as adults.” 

According to Dr. Gustavo Fors-Rodriguez, “anxiety is a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome that is often related to a sense of helplessness and losing control.”

Psychiatrist Dr. Jenys Allende said, “Anxiety can be normal in stressful situations such as public speaking or taking a test. Anxiety is only an indicator of underlying disease when feelings become excessive, all-consuming, and interfere with daily living.”

For those of you readers who feel you or a loved one are experiencing anxiety, here are a few simple tips for your specific personality type to help you feel at ease. 

Blues:  Avoid anxious situations by recognizing that you do not have to figure everything out. Sometimes, practice simply going with the flow. Don’t overthink things.

Reds: Turn your love for challenges toward yourself! Assess your need to be right. Meet other people where they are.

Yellows: Intentionally find fun and humor in every situation. Avoid low energy people and spaces.

Whites: Employ your logic to discern your level of tolerance when experiencing spaces of negative energy.
