21 Signs Someone Is Actually A Well-Adjusted Individual

When bad things happen like a drink gets spilled or an object is lost or forgotten, a well adjusted person will be over it relatively quickly. An unwell adjusted person will harp on it, blame themselves or get angry for an unnecessarily extended period of time.

I think having strong healthy mutually beneficial long term connections is a good sign of it. Not just longterm acquaintances, but true deep connections as friends & in relationships that are meaningful & where both parties truly let each other in & know each other well. People who are not emotionally healthy cannot let people get close. They might have loads of longterm acquaintances they keep at arms length.. but not true deep friendships that stand the test of time. It’s impossible to maintain in depth connections if you yourself are not emotionally healthy & well adjusted.

11.

Someone who can avoid a physical fight. Someone who can address an angry upset person in a calm demeanor. My SO is incredibly calm and great at defusing tense situations. He can talk with a dude who’s trying to start a fight with him, and by the end of the evening they’ll be swapping stories and buying each other drinks. It’s something I admire a lot about him.

12.

Strong principles but flexible opinions. Calm in debate and stressful situations.
