Psychologist Explains Importance of Sensitivity between Couples

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - A household will sometimes be faced with life struggles that force a married couple to inhabit some sensitivity when communicating with each other. This sensitivity would greatly help a couple identify and solve a problem as a team. 

However, not every household can bear sensitivity, especially if the individuals in question have a personality issue such as a closed off personality.

According to psychologist Tika Bisono, people with closed-personalities or antisocial personalities tend to be unhealthy and might come across to show sociopathic tendencies.

“Sociopathic people sometimes cannot be identified, even by the person’s life-partner. Be aware of such cases,” said Tika. 

Tika elaborates that these symptoms will reveal itself if the surrounding people are sensitive enough to pick up the hints. An example would be when a person is faced with a stressful situation, what sort of behavior would the person in question reveal? Would the stress be vented by throwing household items, injuring themselves, or by doing other uncommon behavior?

“Once that sign reveals itself, it must be immediately handled by engaging them in a conversation. It must be addressed and followed-up. These kinds of people highly-likely lack of communication skills, let alone seeking help to a psychologist,” she explained.

If such individuals are not engaged in a communication to confront the problem in hand, it could possibly slowly accumulate into a ticking time bomb. “This is called hysteria, a situation that seems to have no end and can finally explode,” Tika explained. 

This reason alone is why the psychologist suggests people to not underestimate or oversimplify common daily problems that emerge in households and undermine the importance of being sensitive toward each partner’s daily behavior.
