What is CSW? Decoding of the popular Internet phenomenon

Among the huge number of memes on the Internet is one widespread and incredibly relevant in our time - CSW, the decoding of which is known to many and, unfortunately, is close. It's about a sense of self importance. Whatever one may say, the overwhelming majority of the population (if not the country, then the Internet precisely) has an excessively high opinion of themselves and their own judgments. Their view of these or other things a priori the most reasonable, correct and not subject to discussion. Such people require special treatment, although their importance is usually exaggerated and is in question. About these people say: "The VSW goes off scale!"

And they are ridiculed with the help of funny aphorisms, thematic pictures on social networks. Where do such personalities come from? Who invented the so popular meme about overestimated self-esteem? At whom from known people it is possible to diagnose syndrome CHSV? How to understand if you have the prerequisites for its development? How is it dangerous and how to fight it? Read all about this below.

About how we learned about CSW

Let's start, perhaps, from where the term came from. Entered his famous American writer, esoteric scientist Castaneda. It was from him that we first learned about a phenomenon like CSV. Decoding of this abbreviation today does not cause difficulties for any of the active Internet users. And all thanks to the Russian-language encyclopedia "Lurkomorye" - it was her popularized CMV memo, as well as many other well-known Internet phenomena. Due to the lack of strict formalities (as in the Wikipedia itself), this resource covers a greater number of the most diverse objects of the modern world and gives a more complete and clear understanding of them.

Who are they - people with overstated CSV?

So, we understand what CSV is, the transcript is known, and the source that spread knowledge about it, too. But in itself a sense of self-importance could not appear, there should be its "carriers". And, of course, they are. Such people have always been enough, just the Internet helps them "get out into the world", show themselves to a huge number of people (network users) and, accordingly, demonstrate their brightness. It is very easy to detect the carrier of CSV - you only need to stumble upon his messages a couple of times, comments on the posts, and everything will immediately become clear. All his conversations are conducted with one main goal - to attract attention, to declare to the public about his own coolness and uniqueness, thereby at the same time and energize his CSV.

Among people whose CSV is overvalued and unshakable, there are many well-known media persons. So, for example, often in social networks this characteristic was applied to the Russian designer and blogger Artemy Lebedev, TV and radio presenter, as well as the scandalous blogger Kate Gordon, the Russian publicist, blogger and popularizer of Satanism Varracks. All of them are known for their shocking antics, selfish attitude and expressive expressions in work / creativity. Around them there are always some disputes, noise, discussions and emotions (often negative), however, this is in most cases included in their plans.

CBC in real life

With regard to celebrities and popular figures in the media, everything seems to be quite logical - they need PR, it's important for them to talk about them. And what about ordinary, non-public people, such as us? Have you ever paid attention to your behavior and how you position yourself when communicating with other people (even on the Internet, even in real life)? After all, excessive CSV can be very, very disturbing.

What overestimated CSV can be dangerous?

First, it can negatively affect the communication with other people: friends, relatives, colleagues and simply surrounding us everywhere every day. How do they affect your CSW? The decoding of this concept can sound like this: "I am the navel of the Earth." Who will like this position? It's unlikely that your colleague, and even more so the boss, will be happy to work with a man for whom his own interests are above all. A native people? Is it easy for them to get along with you and try to please all whims? Sooner or later, the one who communicates with the carrier of CSW will end his patience, and the relationship will crack.

Secondly, an overestimated CSW harms you most of all. The position "I am the best / ideal / always right" can easily lead to degradation, lack of self-development, deafness and blindness to the opinion and desires of others. As a result, you can close in yourself and lose touch with reality. Of course, this is in particularly difficult cases, but it all begins with a small one.

How not to fall into the trap of CSW?

If you notice such behavior, thoughts, statements, then it's worth stopping and thinking: "Why do I behave this way and what can it lead to?" Of course, the CMV itself should be present for every person, but in a reasonable proportion. Low self-esteem is as dangerous and harmful as overestimated. Try to find a balance. Adhere to your views and judgments, if they are justified, thought out and weighed, but respect the opposite, different opinions. Be true to yourself, but listen to others - it is useful. As for social networks, sometimes it is better to "pass by" some post than to get involved in empty conversations, it is better to do something more useful and productive. Good luck!
