Upåvirkbar

Upåvirkbar is a Swedish adjective that describes someone or something that is not easily influenced or affected by external factors. It suggests a quality of resilience, steadfastness, or indifference to outside pressures. A person described as upåvirkbar might maintain their opinions or composure even when faced with criticism, persuasion, or emotional appeals. This trait can be seen as positive, indicating a strong sense of self and conviction, or potentially negative, if it leads to stubbornness or an inability to adapt.

The term can be applied to individuals, but also to situations or even objects. For instance, a material could be described as upåvirkbar to weather conditions if it remains unchanged despite exposure to rain, sun, or wind. In a social context, someone who is upåvirkbar might be perceived as stoic or unemotional, remaining calm and rational when others are agitated. Conversely, it can imply a lack of empathy or a disinterest in the feelings of others, depending on the specific context and the overall impression of the individual's behavior. The concept is rooted in the idea of an inner core that is protected from external disturbances.
