Creativity and Your Behaviour
Behaviour is a rather changeable, unstable and quite untrustworthy criterion to define is a person is creative or not. Unless we're speaking of extremes in personalities that is – total non-stop bores which hardly ever bear a tiny bit of celestial creativity in their way too earthy souls and robotic minds, or (pretending to be) soft-in-the-head individuals craving either money or fame etc. These and other vivid examples speak volumes loud and clear.
In less obvious patterns people's behaviour depends on their mood. Even at certain similar moments i.e. under similar conditions their reactions may be different. When they are upset they are passive or irritated, helplessly crying or doing anything distractive trying not to feel sorry for themselves. When they are happy they can be peacefully smiling or jumping all around their flats, sharing their joy with others or savouring it with closest people only.
There are no certain pointed out behaviour patterns of creative people, for creative people are not that drastically different from the rest of mere mortals. Their feelings and reactions are the same, their emotions do not differ at all. Certainly, we can't say right away that people who behave in a superoriginally crazy way are creative. Who knows maybe it's high time they were taken to lunatic asylum and non-creatively taken good care of...
Even the combination of these two notions – creativity and (behaviour) pattern are paradoxical, because creativity hardly ever suggests anything stable 'patterned' and squeezable into a certain frame of views or characteristics. Creativity suggests something fresh, original, something that sweeps us off our feet in a good sense of the words.
However, we can firmly state that a person who is genuinely creative, definitely looks and behaves different from others. This is not a walking contradiction speaking on behalf of us, it's just that these outer and unreliable manifestations of creativity should be combined with certain other characteristic features of a person in order us to be a be to state that his or her personality is out-of-this-worldly original.
It's not enough to be passive observant revealers of superficial creativity, one should also actively create something unique in order to genuinely stand out from the pseudo-creative crowd. The latter fake type of people crave to shout about their creativity here there and everywhere but genuinely unique creative personalities are simply inspired to do what they do – create songs or literary works, slogans or various devices...
They are not publicity hound and hardly ever demand the results of their creativity to be praised or acknowledged. That's probably one of a few behaviour patterns of a few people who are deeply absorbed in their creative work so much that their ambitions are less power-hungry than the ones of the fake superficial creativity-spreaders.
Creativity and one's behaviour are interconnected, but still genuine creativity without a hint at fakeness is a complex combination of other factors and characteristics as well – both passive and active ones. Some of them may imply certain weirdness or extra sensitivity or any other extremes of human behaviour which are never far-fetched. For creative behaviour always implies genuineness.
