There is a psychology called the ostrich mentality, also known as ostrich-style survival. It's actually an escapist way of survival.
This kind of psychology is often manifested as not daring to face reality, avoiding difficulties and setbacks, escaping the world, resisting external things, and hiding when encountering things, thinking that they will not be harmed in any way, but they do not know that they may fall into a greater predicament, which is a typical cowardly way of survival.
When faced with stress, some people may take an evasive attitude and do not think about countermeasures even when they know that a problem is about to occur, which can become more complex and difficult to deal with. It's like when an ostrich is cornered, it will only dig its head into the sand to defend itself.
There are too many people with an ostrich mentality in the group, and if there are too many people with an ostrich mentality in the office, the efficiency must not be good. Adversity, difficulties, help to stimulate potential;And people with an ostrich mentality undoubtedly stifle their talents and eventually dig their own graves.
There are also people with an ostrich mentality in the school, and when they encounter threats and bullying, some of the more vulnerable students choose to be ostriches because they are afraid, they dare not speak out or be angry, and they silently bear the pain of being bullied, so that they accumulate mental illness over time.
In a healthy social competitive environment, when facing reality and problems, we should maintain a positive attitude, bravely face and seek solutions, rather than adopting an ostrich-like way of survival. In addition to the ostrich mentality, there is another psychological phenomenon similar to it, known as the "turtle mentality". People with a turtle mentality often lack self-confidence, are afraid to take risks, and always wait for opportunities to come instead of taking the initiative to look for them. They often choose to retreat when faced with difficulties.
In contrast, people with a "lion mentality" are adventurous, confident, and courageous. They believe that they can overcome any odds, keep challenging themselves, and even if they fall, they will get up immediately and finally achieve their goals.
Therefore, when facing the challenges and difficulties in life, we should strive to cultivate our "lion mentality", face the problems positively, and find solutions, instead of adopting an ostrich or turtle-like way of survival. Only in this way can we better overcome difficulties and realize our own values and dreams.
