Carl Yung once said that each one of us has a shadow self no not your actual Shadow but the hidden parts of your personality it's where all your insecurities suppress desires and I don't want to deal with this emotions live rentree here's the thing about rejection it's like a spotlight on your Shadow let's say you get ghosted by someone you so much admire it's not just their silence that hurts it's the Pandora's box of insecurities they just opened suddenly it's not about them ignoring your text it's about you wondering am I not enough but here's
where it gets interesting Yung believed that your Shadow isn't something to fear it's a gold mine for self-discovery that rejection you're obsessing over it's revealing something about you an insecurity a fear or even a desire you've buried think of it like this someone rejecting you might represent qualities you admire but don't think you have like confidence or Charm the obsession that's just you wanting to fill the Gap you see in yourself plot twist they're not the problem Your Shadow is and once you you start unpacking that you'll realize rejection is less about them and more
about you projection seeing ourselves in others here's where things get trippy you believed we unconsciously project parts of ourselves onto other people so when someone rejects you they stomp being just a person they become a walking symbol of everything you want Fe or wish you could be take that Crush you can't get over are they really that amazing or are you projecting your ideals onto them maybe they remind you of something you've been chasing like validation or acceptance and let's be real sometimes we don't just project we inflate suddenly the person who rejected you is
Beyonce level Flawless in your head but news flash they're just human that Obsession it's not about them it's about what they represent in your psyche when you start recognizing these projections you'll see the situation more clearly they're not a superhero or villain in your life story they're just someone who said nah and that's okay archetypes the anima and animus now let's level up Yung believed we all carry Universal patterns called archetypes deep psychological blueprints that shape how we experience the world two of the most powerful the anima and the Animus the anima represents the feminine
energy within men and the Animus represents the masculine energy within women these archetypes shape the way we connect with others especially in romantic relationships when someone embodies one of these archetypes it's like a magnetic pull you're drawn to them on a deeper unconscious level like they're holding up a mirror to the part of yourself you long to connect with but when that person rejects you o it's not just heartbreak it's like losing a part of your very essence the obsession that follows isn't just about the person it's an existential crisis you're grieving not just them
but the connection to those parts of yourself that you thought they held let's say you're drawn to someone who's creative and nurturing someone who embodies the qualities of the anima if they reject you it feels like you've lost access to those qualities within yourself you might think if they don't see me then maybe those traits aren't a part of who I am am but here's the twist they're not gone those traits are within you waiting for you to discover nurture and express them rejection becomes a wakeup call not to chase after them but to go
Inward and integrate those qualities into your own life it's an invitation to embrace and cultivate the parts of yourself that you've been longing to connect with the real magic happens when you realize that your journey toward wholeness has nothing to do with them it's all about you individuation rejection as a catalyst for growth now this is where Yung drops the mic life he believed is all about individuation becoming your most authentic whole self it's a journey of self-discovery and rejection well that's a key part of the process imagine this rejection isn't just something to cry
about it's life's way of telling you hey it's time to level up when someone says no it's not the universe working against you it's pushing you to face your vulnerabilities headon it forces you to take a hard look at what truly matters and reassess your path got rejected from that dream job you thought was your ticket to success instead of sinking into self-doubt ask yourself is this rejection nudging you to rethink your career goals maybe it's a sign that it's time to upgrade your skills or explore a different direction rejection could be your golden opportunity
to realign with your deeper purpose or what about that person who ghosted you someone you thought was the one sure it hurts but could it be that this rejection is pushing you to focus more on yourself on self-love healthy boundaries and personal growth sometimes we need to get knocked down to remember that we are whole on our own and the right people will align when we're ready rejection isn't a dead end it's a plot twist in your story every great narrative has a Twist a moment that challenges the protagonist to evolve and this this is
your twist embrace it learn from it and watch how it helps you become the person you're destined to be why Obsession feels uncontrollable the power of the unconscious let's get real for a second Obsession feels like a wild beast you can't tame why because rejection Taps into your unconscious mind mind the part of you that holds all of your unresolved fears wounds and desires when rejection strikes it's like your unconscious flips a switch suddenly you're flooded with emotions and memories you didn't even know we there the obsession isn't random it's your unconscious mind screaming pay
attention but here's the thing that obsession is actually an opportunity it's your unconscious mind asking you to heal to grow and to finally address what's been holding you back breaking the cycle Yung strategies for letting go so how do you actually move past Obsession you can't just tell your brain to chill out it doesn't work like that believe me we've all tried thankfully Carl Yung wasn't just about dropping profound ideas and leaving us hanging he left behind some tools to help break the cycle number one face the shadow take a deep breath and ask yourself
what is this Obsession really about it's not about the person who rejected you it's about what their rejection woke up in you maybe it's an old fear of being unlovable or a sense of inadequacy shine a light on your Shadow and you might just realize the monster under your bed is actually your own sock number two withdraw projections let's be honest half the time the person you're obsessing over isn't that great remember your high school Crush exactly start seeing them for who they really are not who you've made them out to be in your head
they're not a demig God they're just a human who prefers pineapple on pizza or something equally questionable number three active imagination yung's technique for having a chat with your feelings sounds weird but hear me out sit down close your eyes and imagine your obsession as a character in a story ask it what are you trying to teach me you might just be surprised by the answers number four Embrace individuation reframe that ejection as a growth opportunity that door closing it's just life nudging you toward a better path maybe even one with better snacks number five
seek support yungan therapy isn't just for deep thinkers it's for anyone ready to uncover and heal what's holding them back if you're feeling stuck there's no shame in getting some professional help to guide you through the process breaking the cycle of obsession isn't easy again it's a process but every time you choose growth over clinging to the Past you're one step closer to becoming your most empowered [Music] self rejection and the collective unconscious now let's zoom out rejection isn't just about you it's a part of something much bigger the collective unconscious what's that you ask
well according to Yung it's the shared pool of human experiences archetypes and patterns that connects us all think of it as the Wi-Fi of the human psyche and Rejection it Taps into those Universal themes of Love belonging and validation here's the kicker society and media make rejection worse ever notice how movies romanticize the never give up Trope you know the hero obsessively chasing their love interest until they finally win them over yeah in real life that's called stalking these cultural narratives make rejection feel like a failure to live up to some impossible standard suddenly it's
not just one person rejecting you it's like the entire world is pointing and laughing but here's the truth truth rejection isn't about failing it's about being human understanding the collective unconscious helps you take a step back it's not just your story it's our story rejection is a shared Human Experience and knowing that can help you depersonalize it it's not a judgment of your worth it's just a part of the messy beautiful dance of being alive turning rejection into empowerment rejection doesn't Define you it's a mirror a lesson and if you're brave enough a turning point
by embracing Your Shadow withd drawing projections and integrating archetypes you can transform rejection into empowerment so the next time rejection has you spiraling ask yourself what's this trying to teach me because in the end rejection isn't the villain of your story it's the unexpected Mentor if you found this video helpful or just slightly less painful than rejection hit the like button subscribe and share your thoughts in the comments who knows your story might just Inspire someone else
