Youthful chase for the most beautiful girl, for the most prestigious work, for the best meal, for the best clothes ... Maximalism is an extreme in any requirements, in views (when or everything, or nothing, when excessively overestimated complaints to the world , life, people). It is a kind of characteristic of the approach to solving certain problems, uncompromising in choosing measures, actions designed to bring the goal as close as possible.
Youth maximalism is peculiar to a certain age category. When you feel the strength to argue with everyone, defending your own point of view (of course, the rightmost). And most importantly, in the scale of the values of a young man, only two extreme points of view - either black or white. No halftone, no middle. "These strange adults are forever complicated, confused, do not understand. We will not live like that! " And the young soul is rushing in the sea of misunderstanding. All this is inherent in adolescence, youthful egoism, the lack of experience and flexibility of thinking.
What is manifested?
In the desire to have everything and immediately, "jump above the head", fight everyone and against everyone, protest, be unusual and unique, differ from the rest by your worldview. Prove others that "not weak":• Ask the weight of the engine boat and try to "pull" it; • Bind pancakes on the bar and raising, collapse with it; • drink half-liter vodka salvo; • overtake the bus, moving from one stop to another; • bring it up to 12 orgasms in a row; • drive a car 12 hours without stopping, not having rights; • work, learn, visit nightclubs and discos, having a dream for two hours a day; • Go to work on Sunday!
This is dangerous?
Maximalmism can be a good stimulus to achieve cherished goals (the goal is "more and further", because it is performed at seventy), because with his loss they begin to drop hands, desired ceases to seem possible.
Man is beautiful in extremes. Youth maximalism - the privilege of healthy, young and energetic. The privilege is not in vain, it is a kind of advance. He greatly helps young break through our sometimes difficult life. This is a fresh look at the old problems. Youth maximalism takes the shape of a fad of arrogance shocking surrounding and allowing Juncs to achieve heights that they do not deserve, but which will be able to keep if there is enough mind and excerpt.
Will it pass?
Unfortunately or fortunately, youthful maximalism passes with age. It is a consequence of cloudless childhood. In his youth, self-confidence reaches the maximum mark, as well as the desire to stand out, asserted. There is still children naivety and stupidity, inexperience in combination with huge ambitions! Absolutely everything seems possible!After reality a couple of times "shaggy" on the head, everything will fall into place. Life puts all points over "I", and many are ridiculous and ashamed to remember themselves in youth.
What to treat?
Often, maximalism is also manifested in adulthood, then it turns into stupid stubbornness, failure and unwillingness to listen to the opinion of others.
In this case, it is necessary that options for solving any problem are much more than two, which is not always the opinion of a person can be objective that tolerance for someone's shortcomings is not a vice, but dignity.
With age, we become more appropriate, first a little passive, and there is not far to indifference. Let every day of youthful maximalism remain in each of the perception of life perception.
