  1. Ambivalence is when you have different feelings about the same thing at the same time.

    For example, you love and hate at the same time.

    • Ambi (Latin) – double, dual.

    • Valentia ( Latin) – power.

    Ambivalence is often described as a medical condition, but it is not a mental disorder.

    Ambivalence is easily explained by a deeper study of the client's relationship to the object of ambivalent feelings.

    For example:

    • a feeling of love can arise for a person whom you have known for a long time and have formed an opinion about him as a reliable and kind friend

    • feelings of hatred may arise from his one-time behavior in your address in a drunken state

    • when you meet such a person, ambivalent feelings of love and hatred may arise at the same time. Most often, these feelings are equal in brightness.

    My opinion is that ambivalent feelings are a normal behavior of the psyche. The main thing is to understand what is happening to you at this moment.

    Awareness of your feelings relieves anxiety.

  2. Duality.

    Simultaneous experience of opposing desires or / and feelings.

    For example, you can be angry at a person and love them. And really simultaneously.

    Experience fear and attraction, interest in something/someone.

    The desire to get some more sleep and get to work/school on time to avoid trouble, for example. These are ambivalent desires (needs).

    Or-to earn at least twice as much as now – and the desire for peace, so that everything goes as it goes.

    Or-take care of your health and-do not think about health at all.

    In short, ambivalence (duality, simultaneous experience of opposite feelings and desires) is an ordinary human condition. Not constant, but very frequent for any of us.

  3. Psychological state when an agent experiences opposite feelings about another person. The other causes a contradictory range of feelings. A similar state can also apply to full-fledged phenomena: today I have one attitude to the subject/tomorrow is diametrically opposite.

  4. Before dualism, simplified diversity.
    For example, the selection of opposites from the range of feelings and desires. TO HAVE or NOT TO HAVE. To have, because you like it, it fits, it's nice… Not to have – defiantly, forever, expensive…
    Used for ease of explanation. Easily schematized.
    Boolean logic.

  5. simple example… let's say a person is very intelligent, even somewhere smart, sociable, always neat )), you are interested in him, these qualities impress you… but there is something about him that repels, causes hostility …i.e. he is so ambivalent…))
