What does ChSV mean on VKontakte. How to translate and decipher

This is not a translation at all; the word is not used in foreign vocabulary. This is nothing more than an acronym that stands for a sense of self-importance or a sense of one's own greatness. Mainly used in youth slang during online communication.

What does the word ChSV mean, translation:

This is one of many internet memes. Therefore, if you are told that you have an overestimated self-esteem, this is not a compliment at all, it means inflated self-esteem. Self-esteem is a kind of prototype or synonym for the word self-esteem.
If they say that heart rate is underestimated, it means that self-esteem is low. If on the contrary, then the person has a crown on his head, and he wants to seem more important than he really is. Why is it used specifically among young people?
This category of the population has not yet achieved significant success in their lives; character is being formed at this time, and this is the period when a teenager already feels like an adult, believes that he has the right to contradict adults and express his own point of view.

Meme

How does ChSV stand for and where is it used?

Do not look in foreign dictionaries for how this word is translated, because it is not a word at all. SEI is an abbreviation for “feeling of self-importance.” You can meet him quite often today, especially on the Internet - on various forums, on social networks and in online games. Sometimes it appears on the streets in inscriptions on fences and poles.

It is used mainly by teenagers and has a negative connotation. For clarity, I will give examples:

“You need to do something about your SWS, friend. It’s incredibly overpriced.”
“Your heart rate goes up to the sky!”
“Reduce your heart rate, otherwise they will soon shy away from you.”
“Be more modest. Your emergency will destroy you.”

conclusions

Do not create illusions, the manifestation of emergency situations harms you rather than benefits you. I saw how people refused emergency situations and got a good position and earned a lot of money, because they assessed themselves realistically, and by showing emergency, they denied the oppression of their superiors over themselves, and therefore did not want to change anything in life.

I’ll repeat once again to the question of the ChSVshniks, who are they? These are people with low self-esteem, trying to become higher than others. You don't have to be like that. In fact, this is a simple article that I wrote in 15 minutes, so sorry for the mistakes and other shortcomings. But I'm not ChSV.

The meaning of ChSV in youth slang

What does this popular expression mean today? From the phrases presented above, it is clear that it is used to address people who are arrogant, arrogant, and pompous. CSV is a kind of crown that a person puts on himself to look down on others. He seems great and grandiose to himself, and those around him look at him with irritation and annoyance.

It is not surprising that this expression is found so often on the Internet, because this is where insecure and cowardly people come for self-affirmation. What they are usually afraid to say to their opponent’s face, they pour out in endless streams of symbols in social networks and chats.

Inflated self-esteem and unhealthy egoism can be considered synonyms for emotional distress, although they have different semantic shades. Let's figure out where the term “sense of self-importance” comes from and what its original meaning is.

ChSV in philosophy

The concept of “self-importance” was defined by the American writer Carlos Castaneda. In his books, he outlined the mystical teachings of the Mexican Indians about gaining inner strength and reaching a new level of existence.

According to Castaneda, a sense of self-importance is a very harmful psychological construct that does not allow a person to take the “path of the warrior” and move towards the light. This feeling is not innate, but is acquired by the individual in the process of interaction with society.

It manifests itself in an egocentric, very narrow view of the world from the position of “I am the center of the universe.” A person cannot recognize his ordinaryness, he wants to be grandiose, and the lion's share of energy is spent on maintaining this illusion.

Every person has an emergency, including you and me. The more developed it is, the more often a person feels insulted, wounded, and humiliated. Paradox, isn't it? Only people who have gotten rid of their emotional distress can be truly free from other people's assessments.

Excessive concern about the impression we make on others is also a manifestation of emotional distress.

Castaneda and his teacher Don Juan encourage you to get rid of your sense of self-importance. His books contain quite specific methods. One of them is talking with plants. We need to step down from the pedestal of the king of nature for a while and talk to the herbs and trees as equals. I can’t vouch for the effectiveness of the method - I haven’t tried it.

So, we have examined the concept of emergency situations in the modern and classical meaning, let's highlight the main theses.

The meanings of modern ChSV and Kastanedov’s differ. According to Castaneda, a sense of self-importance is a self-centered view of the world, and in the youth style - arrogance and conceit.
The classic version is exclusively negative in nature - you need to get rid of emergency situations in all possible ways. Today, quite often you can find the phrase “low sense of self-importance,” which means low self-esteem, and advice on how to increase it.
Castaneda’s ChSV harms its owner, and ChSV in the modern sense harms those around him, too.

Since everyone is on the Internet, but only a few read Castaneda (and talk to plants), let’s agree that later in the article I will use these three letters in a modern slang translation. And if the teachings of Don Juan interest you, I suggest watching this video.

How to curb your sense of self-importance

Seeing yourself from the outside is always useful, and responding to constructive criticism means taking the path of improvement.

You can overcome a bad trait by taking several successive steps:

a blank sheet of paper must be divided into 2 equal parts: positive traits are written on the right, negative ones on the left;
it is necessary to analyze recent conflict situations from the point of view of the validity of the point of view taken;
on another blank sheet you need to write the names of those who were undeservedly offended by the words and actions of the test taker;
it is necessary to draw conclusions and formulate a new line of behavior, without infringing on the dignity of others;
For motivation, you can make a bet with yourself to complete the task to change your own line of behavior.

Changing yourself is a difficult task, but with the right plan of action, anyone can do it. The other side of the coin is when a person has a low heart rate.

To achieve harmony, the following steps are suitable:

in disputes where a person is obviously more knowledgeable, you need to defend your point of view, this will benefit everyone. A person with low heart rate acquires the confidence he lacks in himself and his own knowledge. And the remaining participants in the dispute receive valuable information from a person close to them;
it is necessary to stop the clearly presumptuous debaters. Swallowing a grudge has a detrimental effect on the health and reputation of an insecure person;
there is no shame in reinforcing your words by referring to trusted sources if you are not sure that the speaker’s words will be listened to. You can argue with a coinciding point of view with respected mutual acquaintances;
praise is a good reason to improve the situation. There is no need to hide when your boss praises you. Modesty is good in moderation, like other traits;
it is necessary to learn to ignore sarcastic remarks, especially when they are addressed only with the aim of unbalancing.

At the moment when the emotional state returns to normal, no longer harms others and does not drive an insecure person into rigid boundaries, a lot of energy is released. There is a good prerequisite for a breakthrough in self-development and achieving your goals.

Paradoxically, it is people who become interested in literature about personal growth, especially at the beginning of the hobby, who suffer from increased importance.

You must initially be a developed personality for such information to fall on fertile soil. The books by Carlos Castaneda “Journey to Ixtlan”, “A Separate Reality” and “Tales of Power” will be of interest to people exploring spiritual practices. You can be indifferent to most memes among young people.

They arose on the fertile soil of virtual communication, and usually they remain in the virtual world. EHS is inseparable from real life; its decoding in different groups of society has common features. The correct installation of self-determination in society can give a new impetus to development.

At the same time, unreasonably overestimated heart rate, as a psychologically stable feature of a person’s character, according to psychotherapists, becomes a problem not only and not so much for those around him, but for himself.

In addition to the fact that relationships with important people in life deteriorate, this trait in its hypertrophied form takes a lot of strength and energy, which could be usefully directed in another more productive direction.

Portrait of a man with increased heart rate

Who is he, the unfortunate owner of an inflated sense of self-importance? You can recognize him by his look - he is always arrogant and arrogant. His face is usually gloomy and expresses dissatisfaction - such a person seems to be in a permanent state of combat readiness.

My favorite pastime is arguing and sorting things out. And also to teach others, demand attention, and brag. Don’t feed such people bread - let them assert themselves at someone else’s expense.

He transfers all conversations to his loved one; he finds it boring to discuss something abstract from his own person. It looks something like this:

– Have you heard that Notre Dame Cathedral burned down?

- Seriously? What a pity! I was there last year, I even have a photo with it in the background, I’ll show you now. And here's the Eiffel Tower and the Champs Elysees.

People with an inflated HRV are especially disgusting because they insert their “expert” opinion everywhere. This is precisely why they are usually reprimanded online. They look like upstarts, rudely invading other people's borders, but they imagine themselves as intellectual authorities.

There are also ChSVshniki with a minus sign. These are people who constantly whine and complain about fate - great sufferers and victims. These are mainly representatives of the fair sex: girls, girls, women. Their problems are global and unique, so everyone around them owes them. They are unable to see that other people also have problems because of their constant focus on their experiences.

What to do if you are accused of inflated HRV

If someone made a remark to you about your emergency situation, do not panic. Very often such statements can be heard from people whose sense of self-importance is much higher than yours. There is also no need to argue and prove that the other person is wrong. The best thing to do is distance yourself from him as much as possible and engage in self-reflection.

Think carefully about the situation that started all the fuss and honestly answer these questions:

On whose territory did the conflict take place? I’ll explain using the example of communication on social networks. If you express an opinion on your page, the territory is yours, you are the rightful owner here. If you decide to leave a comment, especially a negative one, on someone else’s profile, you have invaded someone else’s boundaries. Be prepared for aggression towards you - in this case it is very likely and justified. Groups, chats, public areas – the territory is common.
Who was the instigator? By starting a dispute, you are declaring a small war on a person. Next time stop and ask yourself “why am I doing this?” If the goal is to attract attention, demonstrate your brilliant mind, and win a verbal skirmish, then your ECS will bloom in full bloom.
How close are you to the person who made the remark? If this is a stranger from the vastness of the World Wide Web, ignoring him will be the best option. You can’t just brush aside a loved one so easily. It is useless to argue and prove something; it is best to resolve the issue peacefully. If you feel that the remark is justified, make the right decision - apologize and admit your mistake. If you have been unfairly offended, and not for the first time, think about cutting off communication.

How to tame your emergency response

Reflecting on your inflated heart rate is 50% of success. Usually, when a person begins to see himself from the outside and realize what reactions he causes in people, he immediately becomes ashamed and embarrassed. After this, he does not want to return to his previous behavior.

I have compiled a test for you to determine your heart rate level. Read the following statements and answer whether they are true for you or not.

You rarely compromise and want things to be your way.
In a dispute, you usually have the last word.
You cannot remain silent if you hear an opinion with which you disagree.
Many generally recognized masterpieces of world art seem to you to be in bad taste.
If you notice other people's spelling mistakes, you consider it your duty to point them out.
If someone deletes your comments from their social media page, you consider this a violation of freedom of speech.
You actively and obsessively promote a lifestyle that you consider correct - vegetarianism, a healthy lifestyle, a raw food diet, childfree, etc.
You love to give advice and consider this to be caring for others.
People around you often make excuses.
You think you are smarter than most people.

If at least six points apply to you to one degree or another, you need to seriously work on your sense of self-importance. This is where our test comes in handy again. Read the statements again, remember and try to do the opposite in life.

Train the opposite quality of self-esteem – modesty. You will not only become a more pleasant person to talk to and gain popularity, but you will also save a lot of energy that you previously spent on squabbles and proving your superiority.

What are the signs of a private person?

Inflated emotional state implies a complex of character traits that make a person unbearable in communication: arrogance, arrogance, vanity. Self-motivated people take criticism extremely sensitively, because, in their opinion, everyone should admire and respect them. Their ego is like a black hole - it needs to be constantly fed with flattery, recognition, fame. But as soon as you make a remark to a person of extremes, criticize his actions, he will burst into such a storm of emotions! He will be ready to smash everyone who dares to tamper with him.

Such people are ironically noted in the song of Basilio the Cat and Alice the Fox:

“A fool doesn’t need a knife:

Sing to him a little,

And do it with him

Whatever you want!

Other symptoms of heart failure:

Attracting the attention of others. Private individuals like to publicly assert themselves at someone else’s expense, and behave defiantly and demonstratively.
Mentoring syndrome. People with ABS always flaunt their opinions, even if they are not asked to do so. Usually this opinion is negative.
Finding faults in other people. Teenagers with ASD love to laugh at the outcast in class, and a rich woman with ASD openly expresses her contempt for a colleague who cannot afford a vacation to the Bahamas.
Increased level of aggression. Arrogant and arrogant people can make vicious jokes, take revenge for criticism, and act cruelly towards those whom they consider worse than themselves (almost everyone).
Unstable self-esteem. With luck or recognition, the self-esteem of people in high society skyrockets, but at the slightest mistake or criticism, arrogant people feel like losers. This often happens to people with an excellent student complex, whose parents scolded them for getting “Cs” and even “Bs” at school.

High HRV is largely an acquired quality. Occurs in people who have overestimated their qualities. For example, beautiful girls often suffer from high levels of heart rate. Since childhood, they have been spoiled by the attention of boys and are role models for other girls. Of course, not all beautiful girls are spoiled and narcissistic. If their parents were able to instill in them other values in life besides beauty, then their upbringing went the right way.

Evil children grow up with parents who spoiled them too much and allowed them a lot. An example of this behavior: in the film “Slave,” the oligarch Pavel (Alexander Samoilenko) instilled in his son Grisha a feeling of complete impunity: he “excused” him from crimes, bought cool cars, gave him money, although Grishenka was already 27 years old! Grisha grew up as an arrogant, self-confident major, who had a consumeristic attitude towards life and was completely unsuited to it.
