I want to add-up at this thread on some "traits" which I don't agree, or which I don't see them as any good in the melancholic temperament, to avoid any misunderstandings with regard to this thread. So, by the making of this thread, I do not encourage any of the followings:
-sensitivity: bad. If we're talking about artistic sensitivity, or anything that reffers to a gentle and good sensitivity toward any knowledge or any matter, a intellectual sensitivity, its good. But if we're talking about emotional sensitivity, emotionally squishy, think skinned, being easily hurt, that kind of sensitivity, I don't agree with it and I don't encourage it by this thread. I don't even think is sensitivity, probably someone named it so in a derogatory sense once in the past (I think is a excesive pride)
-pessimism: bad of course; it has nothing to do with temperament, so one would greatly benefit if he manages to destroy that mindset;
-self-deprecation: which is a kind of false humility;
-suspiciousness, holding grudge, thinking bad about people: another "trait" which brings nothing good;
-laziness, avoiding work: laziness leads to depression; even a ESTJ or a ENTJ becomes depressed if he's not working on something; this is a fact;
