Affectation

•A deliberate pretense or exaggerated display

•Affectation is not the innate, inborn attribute of a person but it is his behavior, his demeanor through which he hides his weaknesses and projects in front of people as if he does not
possess this weakness. He does not want the opposite person to understand his drawback, his weak point.

       Affection kisi vyakti ka natural behavior nahi uska ek artificial behavior hota hai.. Uss behavior se apne ander ki kamiyon ko chipata hai aur .. yaha iska maksad dusron ke samney apni goodwill achi dikhai de yeh rah ta hai.. Khud ko taqatwar dikhana jo but actual me wo taqatwar nahi rahta... Dusron per impression jama ne ke liye wo aisa karta hai...

•HYOS :- displays affectation due to his high-spiritless. Even though he is in an awful state, he does not let himself be affected by it and conceals his fears so well that no one can ever make out that he is fearful and apprehensive from within.

•STRAM: During the state of ill health, the STRAM is quiet fearful from within, as the disease is totally unacquainted and unknown to him. He is unaware of what trouble or perplexity the disease can create for him. This thought keeps dwelling in his mind, as to how did he develop this illness all of a sudden? To what extent can this disease pervade in the future? At all times, he tires to gather information pertaining to his disease, from the concerned physician. But when questioned as to why is he inquiring so much, is he fearful of something? To which, he immediately replies, “No, nothing as such.” But this statement of his is accompanied by a smile which reflects his underlying fear. This smile of the STRAM patient reveals that this is his AFFECTATION.

•LYCO: The only prolonged desire in a LYCO person is that he should be the number one and the most powerful of all but when he meets up with any new person, he feels that person to be more stronger than him. He thinks that if he doesn’t portray or depict himself as a firm and vigorous person, this new person will be one up on him. He lacks in self confidence so much so that he would not even try to stand up in front of the opposite person and try to control him. Hence, his speech is exalted (affectation) so that the opposite person may not be able to subdue him. He will try to employ any means to achieve his target, his victory.
IGNATIA: The IGNATIA patient desires that her internal resentment, fret, and indignation should not be revealed outside because she does not want to pollute the surroundings. Let things continue to go on the way they have been going on, because if he expresses his petulance, the situation could worsen and get out of hand. He is so secretive that she does not let her mental state to be revealed or disclosed to any one else. Even if someone wants to, they cannot discover what is going on in this patient’s mind. He wants to portray herself as a very nice, pleasant lady. He wants to do things which are agreeable to others; this she does due to her sensitivity to moral feelings.

•NAT-MUR: This patient believes himself to be very dignified; that he has a reputation in the society due to which people value and revere him. Consequently, he always attempts to safeguard this demeanor of his and that people always continue to hold him in high regards. To fall sick is a very miserable and piteous state for him; this sickness can impair his dignified stance in the society. He considers illness as a state which can enunciate his status. So he remains in pretense (affectation) to hide this weakness of his.
