@@leax1407 I am not a therapist or whatsoever, but show yourself more bro, maybe it can help

@@thenewgarsduciel6762 i mean this politely, but i think you may have misread the comment. they asked *how* to show oneself

@@leax1407 I guess being more honest/open, I have this issue too

@@leax1407 in my own experiences of being really self conscious (I still am and I’m only now trying to do smthn abt it) I’ve found that a lot of it is me proofreading what I’m going to say. Because I make a lot of mistakes when speaking due to how fast my brain is or something like that, (idk how to word it better) I force myself to slow down and observe myself. But by doing this I don’t allow myself to make mistakes and stumble on my words. Most of the time I just say one liners in group settings and don’t say much if I’m in a one on one because I perfect the parts I wanna show. My “shadow” being the fact that I’m not good at everything I want to be good at, one of those being socializing consistently. But recently I’ve become more aware of that when I’m with people I am comfortable with, I go on and on about whatever. Probably due to my repression and it coming out this way. As I type this I want to make it sound less ‘pathetic’ because I don’t want to be seen less than but it’s occurring to me slowly but surely that it is not pathetic to want to do better and truly see where you are. (Basically like If being good at socializing was from 1-100, I’d put myself at 30 but I want to make it come off as 80 when portraying this to other people or my conscious mind.) Something like this is what all these people mean when they say ‘allow yourself feel, make mistakes, etc.’ (stuff embodying the shadow or parts you hate) because then you can healthily sustain yourself. I hope I didn’t ramble too much I am saying this for myself but also for you to be completely honest. If anyone does see this, I wish you the best of luck in any and all endeavors

I used to think I was in a friendship that "pulled no punches" I only realized after far too long that I was dealing with a heavily narcissistic person.

@@coletrain546 it’s a fine line for sure. Gotta discern whether it’s meant to build or just being mean

​@@coreyroberts47I was also in a friendship where I felt like I needed to comment and "say something" about their quirks/personality/views/behaviors to the point of redundancy.

@@coletrain546 How did you come to that conclusion and how are narcissism and the need to comment on the other person related?

My 2nd comment was a different situation. Narcissism relies heavily on feeding off other people's emotions, so making them angry by provoking me or saying things that destroyed my confidence would happen.

Same here!!!!

Well ngl im still in the meanish state but i know im coming out of it

That part of the video honestly called me the hell out.. i had no idea there was a difference tbh

I'm going through a similar issue. It's nice to know I'm not the only one

I went from being without a voice, to now being aggressively hurtful. I choose to isolate rather than put in the work to figure how to find the balance but I need social connection.

"What if being true to yourself leads to your friends beginning to dislike and reject you?" Then they're not your friends.

i don’t have a solution to this, but i feel the same way. i think the more i’ve dwelled on it i get closer to the conclusion that you should embrace your shadow and let the people who resent it leave, making room for the people who accept you as a whole. but at the same time i can see why you might not want to do that

If being your authentic self pushes your “friends” away, than they aren’t your friends, real friends accept you for who you are, it’s better to sail alone on sea for a bit until you find like minded travelers rather than sailing with people who make you worse

I have been talking about this. I feel like I’m bad. I feel like I like things that are bad. I don’t like that I like it and I don’t know how to reconcile this.

You don't need those kind of friends to not feel lonely. In fact, if you don't embrace the "bad" part of you for the sake and acceptance of others, you may feel lonely either way. We don't need to be nice to everyone if that is not genuine, our truly self. We need to accept our own flaws and bad habits to start really working on them, so that way we can truly be the best and whole version of ourselves. Personally I am nice to almost everyone or at least not rude, but I know the bad things (the things that the people around me see as bad) that I am too. And I'm honest about that. I know that I'm not my truly self around everyone, that I tend to try to be the nicest person I can be even if i'm not like that always, but it's not a secret and neither is bad. Because we all have a shadow and it's not bad. Not knowing and accepting it is the thing that's limitating ourselves to truly be the person we want to be and archieve the goals we really want. Know it, accept it and you will feel whole and authentic even if the people that don't like that part of you leaves. Because the people that stay are your true friends, and those people fill your soul like not even a thousand superficial friends can. People come and go. When you grow genuine and authentic you will find people that really like you the way you are, and you will really feel loved and full. I'm sorry for the long text and any error in it. 😅 I hope that everything goes well, thank you for reading.

I think it's more so judge other the way you would judge yourself, it isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's where you see others action and judge it according to what you would judge yourself whilst doing such action as well

This is very spot on

Or even want to be them.

True. It works vice versa too; what we hate about ourselves (insecurities) we also hate about others.

It’s not necessary that we are, but that we can be, and that actively avoided what we can be results in what we could be becoming what we are.

And yet there are good people and there are bad people.

@@emil5884 there is only ignorance

@@emil5884 those people are only good or bad in your and the people around yous eyes. A man could commit a robbery and that is a terrible thing to do because of the possible ramifications for himself and others but if he was committing the robbery to pay for a treatment for his dying daughter to have a chance at life then is he really a bad person or did he just do a bad thing for a good reason. Maybe someone backstabs you but the reason they backstabbed you was because their family was being threatened. Explain to me who is the jury on whether someone is a bad or good person? It's not you. It's not me.

@@sacredscarabstudy real

Same ❤ all these videos did was inject intense rumination and an inability to really find myself, even after searching in the dark for what seemed like endless amounts of time, that medication +mindfulness help, and reading this stuff again is truly eye opening, maybe that amount of time led me to be desensitized to my own ego, and to truly allow myself to feel what I was becoming, had become and would continue to become. Course correction is hard, but very possible and fruitful for peace

What a poser. If you really hated people you would never have a wife and bring kids to the world.

better to become what you Hate then be nothing at all.

​@@thatguy7249 so they're dark and full of hatred but have money, cool lol

​@@MusiicRoolz I don't think that was what he was aiming at, it's just the choice of wording that kinda distorted the point. Kinda like us, in relation to our shadow, and this video even.

i feel you. every step, every mistake, every breath i take i blame myself for what i am, and what i could have been. I blame myself for what i am not, what i can never be. I blame myself for other's accomplishments as to why did I not achieve that. Constantly blaming, hating and judging myself... it never ends. One night I realized how much I hated myself, how much mental abuse I had given to myself, how I never even once appreciated myself for what i am. I felt bad. Really bad and then I broke down. I hope you are in a better shape than I am mate. Stay safe.

I think I am going insane because of stress and self loathing

My therapist one time was talking to me about my childhood and how I felt about myself as a kid. And after I said how much I hated my childhood self, she was like "Ok, so let's say this younger self was your nephew. Would you be ok with someone hating him and putting so much responsibility on his shoulders?" And I was like, wow damn man when you put it like that...

.... I would not call that the "opposite". It's simply another form of the same problem. It has the same solution.

​@@johnmiller6696 I feel you man

So true. However, like when advice to a friend isn't always listened to by them, the same goes for myself. 😂

Learning to treat myself as a friend has been a HUGE DEAL in my life. Whenever I get down on myself, I ask myself how I would treat a friend in my situation. 99 times out of 100, I'd be a lot kinder to a friend. It's because I believe kindness is more likely to be helpful than cruelty to them... And why should I believe it works any differently for myself? I *like* myself now. I'm nice to myself. I have grace and understanding for myself, which is great, 'cause I'm stuck with me. xD

🤝

@@epaomirimiri This is something we need to keep encouraging: the habit of kindness. If there is one thing that the internet environment has been corrupting, it's precisely the conception that kindness is a sign of weakness, an act of complacency with ignorance and malice, and in turn created this abominable commonplace where the only way to interact with other human beings is through cynicism and belligerence, and anyone who isn't able to adopt this is a fragile fool who needs to grow a thick skin. Many still don't know that this cynical status quo is precisely what helps to mask our shadow and invariably makes us act just like the one we despise. We easily forget that kindness isn't the equivalent of vain sweetness or blind empathy, but rather the opposite of aggression, of belligerence. It's the act that you will not respond to opposing and/or vile ideas with rage, but with patience and wisdom. It may not seem like it, but this simple act helps monumentally to disarm this dark environment we see ourselves in.

Nah I love hating myself cause that enables me to hate you too, and I like it

Thats the price !

that's what it feels like to read Jung.. 😬

I presume you meant “painfully aware”?

Awareness of your flaws is the first step in correcting them

Painful/uncomfortable truths of ourselves we fully recognize and accept but don't beat ourselves up for, is what allows us to truly grow. We all have flaws , learn to show love to them instead of judgment and you will feel your self love grow . Just a friendly reminder, I wish everyone much love💞

I was wondering about that second part. Whether or not their philosophies are linked, could it be that the mask matches the shadow unconsciously? Even if we're unaware of that part of ourselves, I'm sure the performative aspects of our social selves scale with how much we repress.

Gawd damn man, you sure know your stuff. Must be a philosophy student. That's a very concise critique and a brilliant way to clear the concept up. Thanks.

thank you for this!

The strength of the shadow is determined by how much we hate our shadow and by how much we want to suppress it. The stronger the shadow, the stronger we have to try to overshadow it. That’s why people with extremely strong shadows lose it at some point and become their shadow. It’s also not necessarily our subconscious or something we are unaware of. That would suggest that there’s infinite things about us, because the moment we learn about ourselves, there still has to be something we don’t know. As that can’t be the case, we aren’t always unaware of our shadow. Not to mention that you can access and unite with your subconsciousness while being on the brink of falling asleep for example or when having advanced in meditation. Whether Nietzsche and Jung have different philosophies doesn’t matter, as this is psychology and not philosophy.

It's also pseudoscience. People don't have Shadow archetypes lurking in some un-observable unconscious mind. Jung's approach to psychology has been abandoned for longer than he practiced it.

It's the music.

His voice...I find it so soothing😌

Both the voice, the subject and the music makes everything feel like a safe place for me to be. It's like taking a rest from reality and sit in a kind of comfortable room to listen someone make a summary of what's happening in your life right now. It's basically what psychologists do.

No, its not worth scrolling for long time just to See a 5 Minute Video about a very deep topic you can't just grasp in 5 minutes, rather you have to try it in life and think about it yourself. Its Information, Not knowledge. I would recommend for your Well being that you read stuff or just sit down alone with your thoughts.

@@user-ku5be4nc3g “ it’s information . not knowledge” i like that. it’s easy to get lost scrolling and consuming endless information that makes you feel like you know something when you’ve really just scratched the surface. as you said, the real experience comes from living/applying these tid bits of information in your life.

no we are not fucken wired for cynicism, get your head out the western ass. for example alot of cultures don't understand "mean humour" for one thing, they often dont see a difference between cynicism and just being an asshole, and theyre fckn right most self decribed "cynical" people are just assholes trying to sound smarter

especially if played just a little softer.

the hard part is realizing the way you perceive information is different from people around you. Even with helpful introspective information like this, someone might dismiss it, giving a jarring dissonance because of how much it resonated with you.
