Why haven't you integrated your shadow aspect? Being harmless doesn't make you a good person, it makes you a wimp. Repressing your emotions don't mean you're strong, it makes you self-destructive. Living in self-denial is not an option.

>Why haven't you integrated your shadow aspect?
What does that mean in practice?

>Living in self-denial is not an option.
Well apparently it is, because most people live this way

and they don't achieve anything significant

You can be successful while living in self denial. It depends what you think "successful" means

There are plenty of successful people so wimpy that I don't believe they've integrated their shadow aspect. I don't think the concept of the shadow self had anything to do with success in the first place.

Confronting those aspects of yourself that you deny, accept them as part of yourself, and hopefully channeling them to positive effect.

i don't know about psychology, but i would be more worried about becoming a milquetoast psuedointellectual.

It means not being afraid to stand up for yourself basically.
A lot of people today are good simply to avoid conflict. This doesn't make you a good person. It makes you a coward. You are only good because you are afraid not to be.
Embracing your shadow means being good but up to a point. If someone steps past your line you will physically confront them and use violence.
Your shadow is part of you, all the crap you try to delete. But you never delete it. Infsct the more you fight it the more you make it stronger. Just like a muscle the more resistance you put it through the stronger it becomes. Its why so many priests become paedophiles eventually. Instead of fighting it simple accept those parts no matter how repulsive they seem to you and realize instead you are in control even when you don't force yourself to be. Accept those accepts and simply choose not to act on them.

b yourself basically

The shadow is not just the "shitty parts". There may be good aspects you deny because you are self-loathing or mistakenly believe are shitty.

so jerk off to blacked but also beat up niggers, got it

Not really. Why do enjoy pretending online you beat up niggers? As for porn, its a waste of time.

>Yin energy is feminine and described as dark, moist, diffuse, vague, intuitive, and receptive

sounds like a turd to me

I have a very strong shadow. Not so be an edgelord, but it's what's kept me alive. I don't think that's the aspect of me that's underdeveloped.

Become an alpha.

>you're not in control if you are
>you need to assault people or you're evil

>Instead of fighting it simple accept those parts
>As for porn, it[']s a waste of time

reading about psychology is a waste of time yet here we are

No. You don't need to assault people.you simply need go be CAPABLE of doing so.
Look at majority of real martial artists. They aren't aggressive people but they are capable of fighting.
As for control part. Its a simple matter of not forcing yourself to be in control. Trust in yourself. Don't think your actions don't come from thoughts. They come from a part of yourself that you can't pin down and force to your will. Simply trust in yourself and just view and enjoy the ride making adjustments as necessary.

Can't argue with that all I can say is some wastes of times are more productive than others. Porn is perhaps the least useful

>Why haven't you integrated your shadow aspect?

Obviously because he's winning.

i think it's repugnant that JP peddles this shit out like it's bland self-help advice, when Jung talks about the actual concept of integrating the shadow as a precarious, potentially lethal process. actually dedicating yourself to improvement in this manner deserves respect, hard work and courage, broadcasting it out to the world is what women do for emotional support.

I don't think you understand the repercussions to something as simple as confrontation. People are batshit crazy, lots of them hide this "shadow self" you mention, and confrontation is the number 1 way to bring it out. They'll scream, cry, threaten violence or enact it just because you decided to stop their endless onslaught of a lifestyle for 2 minutes and you're talking as though this is something someone should do on the regular? No thank you; unless you're a trained professional or medical expert, you have no right or safety when it comes to it and most of us are just restricted to working, eating, and sleeping. No need to throw an extra hospital bill or lawsuit into that mix

I'm harmless until someone I care about is threatened. I do repress my emotions but theres nothing anybody can do to help me when I'm down anyways so what's the point? I'm trying to work on myself. I'm a sort of angry person but I dont snap at people, never have unless absolutely provoked. I just channel it into other things or store the memories for use later.
Lately I've been doing that to work out on my punching bag. Seems pretty effective so far

Then youve already lost. You're afraid not just of other person but of the world youre living in. Grow some balls.

Jung had a tendency to overreact since he tended to confuse his shadow with kundalini which can indeed lead to nasty shit.

>A lot of people today are good simply to avoid conflict. This doesn't make you a good person. It makes you a coward. You are only good because you are afraid not to be.
There are a lot of passive people. It isn't so much they're afraid of not being good, as they think not being bad is good enough. What you do in the moment defines you and unfortunately cowardice is not a virtue and weakness is not an ideal. When the time comes, you may realize you're not really all that good a person and in fact enable the bad.

This whole post disgusted me. you might as well kill yourself faggot

ffs no wonder people here are losers. they can't grasp a simple concept like the shadow
>hurr assault peepul or ur evul
Just forget it.

jung called the process of integrating the shadow a dangerous, potentially lethal process that takes courage, hard work and a lot of time. and you're here tossing it around like bland self-help advice. running around peddling sacred concepts to the whole mass of society, for any reason, is morally repugnant to me. i've done it. that's what i got out of it. jordan peterson is not my psychologist and he should stop talking in that fake scottish accent.

It's cool because your stupid choices will end up in an accidental death while I get money and sue your family for trying to be tough

Its not about being evil. Its about having the CAPACITY for evil but not acting on it. Its about knowing when and where to be violent not outright assaulting people everywhere you go and being a cunt.

Its about being able to be a cunt when you need to be.

Jung confused kundalini with shadow. They are not the same thing or the same process.

How do you integrate yourself in the shadow?

>you shouldn't be afraid of the world

spoiled boomer mentality. it doesn't matter what you should do. under torture or what have you, everyone breaks down eventually. if a person exists who is impervious, you have nothing to offer them.
>no you see he confused this imaginary concept with this OTHER imaginary concept so you're wrong

you are a humongous faggot

So your solution to everyone breaks is never even try? Fucking pathetic. But its your life. You can choose to watch and listen to people or not. Good luck in life mate.

>integrate shadow aspect
>tell oneitis to fuck off out of life
Fuckin' ow

how do I channel fantasies about getting split open by a dominatrix and the fact that I''m addicted to pot to positive effect?

the "shadow aspects" just fuck me over and steal all my mana every time

>complete fucking coward with an inferiority complex
>hate being around other people
>hate working
>hate being awake
>brainlet

>"dude just embrace it and turn it into a positive"
what did the $10 personality quiz leafman mean by this?

I've been working on it for a while now. Had to break a lot of hearts and start a bunch of fights.
I find you eat part of your darkness then take a rest and get back it. I feel much more powerful and confident. I've put a lot of bitches in their places when they've tried to fight me. It lets people know that you have an edge instead of being a blunt potatoey onions boy.

>I don't understand the Jungian shadow
Sweet Jesus, how does an anime game by Japanese pedos get it but you retards can't?
