Opinion: Can you really spot a sigma?
2022-12-21
In this post we are going to talk about the sigma personality. In particular, we will talk about the meaning of this interesting term and the signs someone may be a sigma.
However, something that is gradually attracting even more attention than the above-mentioned personality types is the sigma.
What Is the Sigma Personality?
Sigma personality is a term used to describe a set of traits typical of someone who is confident, ambitious and strong — like alphas — but who is also highly independent and enjoys spending time alone.
9 Signs Someone May Be a Sigma
What follows are a few signs someone may be a sigma.
1. Self-reliance
Sigmas are people who can be in a group and even lead it if necessary, but who can also be on their own.
They are their own best friend, and don’t depend on others. They are not afraid of solitude, and actually enjoy spending time alone.
2. Emotional independence
Emotional independence is one of the defining traits of the sigma personality.
Sigmas don’t depend on others to feel happy or complete and they don’t need other people’s validation to feel good about themselves. They have full responsibility for their own feelings.
3. Authenticity
The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are. ― Carl Gustav Jung
Something sigmas tend to have in common is authenticity.
Since they don’t need other people’s approval, they are who they are, they feel comfortable in their own skin and don’t try to be someone they’re not.
If you’re having a conversation with them they don’t pretend to be curious about you, and if they ask you questions it means their interest is genuine.
4. Self-esteem
Even if they are not loud, don’t brag and don’t seem extremely confident like an alpha for example, people with a sigma personality have a strong self-esteem.
They just tend to be quiet, which is why people don’t notice immediately their self-confidence.
5. Success
As Crystal Jackson mentioned in a recent article, a typical characteristic of sigmas is their tendency to be successful.
This is because they are self-reliant, independent, confident, strong, know what they want and go after it.
