What Are Some Types of Laid-back Personalities?
You could argue that a laid-back personality is the opposite of an uptight persona. But the thing is that chillness has a spectrum: On one flank, there are super-cool Zen masters; on the other are productive laid-backs with high levels of extroversion.
Here are some common types of a laid-back personality:
Chill Blasé
Some people are just super chill. They value peace of mind and simplicity above all else and are as adaptive as it gets. The Chill Blasé are the most laid-back fellows with a knack for enjoying life as it is.
Lazy
Being laid-back differs from being lazy. However, some people prefer to hide their lethargic personality behind their “chill persona.” A lazy laid-back is one who avoids conflicts at all costs and is willing to go the extra mile to postpone plans—or tasks.
Introverted
Unlike other laid-back types, an introvert’s chillness might not be rooted in peace of mind; it might be coming from their social awkwardness. A lot of times, introversion is perceived as being relaxed or tolerant, while in reality, it’s just being avoidant.
Extroverted
Sitting on the opposite flank of the uptightness spectrum, extroverted laid-backs are peaceful doers. They, too, value discipline and hard work, but they don’t necessarily achieve those by stressing themselves out. Basically, they thrive in an unhurried environment.
Is It Bad to Be a Laid-back Person?
As a result of the toxic hustle culture, being laid-back might be compared to being lazy. However, people with relaxed and easygoing demeanors have been proven to be more productive than anxious workaholics.
Of course, excessive calmness might indeed lead to carelessness or apathy. But a reasonable amount of flexibility and leisure is a must for avoiding mental illnesses.
How to Be More Laid-back?
Anxiety hinders calmness. So, logically, any stress-relieving activities such as breathing and meditation can help you become laid-back. Stephanie Florman, a relationship advice expert, believes that “our breath is the one tool we have that guarantees we’re in the physical moment.” And being in the moment is key to increasing your chillness level.
