Are you a Type D personality? Test reveals how the little-known character type is so good at bottling up emotions that even they don't realize they're lonely and anxious.

你有D型人格特征吗？有测试表明，拥有这种鲜为人知的性格的人非常善于隐藏情感，甚至他们自己都没有意识到自己很孤单、很焦虑。

Are you often irritable?

你经常烦躁吗？

Do you tend to hide your feelings from others?

你倾向于隐藏自己的感情吗？

If the answer is "yes", then maybe you are a Type D personality.

如果答案是“是”，那么也许你是D型人格的人。

Type D personalities usually have a low self-esteem and a great fear of disapproval and this is the primary reason that prevents them from opening up to others.

D型人格的人通常自尊心不足，害怕被反对。这也是他们不想向其他人敞开心扉的主要原因。

Thus assuming that type D personalities lack social interest is not correct but the right thing is that they might be interested in people but afraid to approach them because they fear rejection.

因此，D型人格的人并不是缺乏社交兴趣，而是可能对别人感兴趣，但又害怕接近别人，因为他们害怕被拒绝。

Negative emotions such as worrying, stress, depression and anger visit type D personalities more often. A small event that is usually overlooked by others can bother a type D a lot and even ruin his mood.

担忧、紧张、抑郁和愤怒等负面情绪更常在D型人格的人身上体现。一件常常被他人忽视的小事就可能让D型人格的人烦恼，甚至会破坏他的心情。

The term was first devised by psychologist Johan Denollet from Tilburg University who created a quiz to identify a type D personality.

“D型人格”最先由荷兰蒂尔堡大学的心理学家Johan Denollet提出。他还设计了一个测试，帮助人们认识自己是否具有D型人格特征。
