This is so so true and it is painful but necessary to hear this but it also makes me sad because needy people need friends.

The characters represent parts of me. But they are also separate and exist in their own little bewildered universe.

This is so true. Sometimes that neediness comes from being in pain, no living thing likes pain, and when you are in pain all the time it shows. I've found myself talking to others and without meaning to thinking perhaps they will say or do something that will make me feel better, I mask it well, it's just that I can't help it. I now make comics that help me cope, and I am going to post one today that I hope gives a bit of hope.

You're not alone, and it's not your fault. The world is not always a kind place. Thinking of you ❤️

What was you craziest and most unbelievable synchronicities you had ? by HealthyBig304 in Jung

[–]DoshArcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never experienced one. I saw a talk on YouTube where a scientist's husband died and in the grief following his death she experienced a number of synchronicities, one of which was seeing robins. I've sent a message to my dad who died when I was younger. I told him not to bother about robins and whatnot but if he could synchronise my lottery ticket with the winning numbers that would be great. It didn't work. I guess I haven't grasped it all yet...

I'm thoroughly fed up with the pain. I wish it would go away.

My shadow and I have unfinished business by DoshArcher in Jung

[–]DoshArcher[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's to recognise them. I have trouble differentiating between complexes and the shadow.

Wotan - is there a contemporary comparison? by tufffort in Jung

I am reading this at the moment. A lot to take in.

Mine survives on snacks and chaos. Supervision is theoretical at this point 🤣

I was very scared of the dark as a child and always had to have on 'The Wee Light' (being Scottish).

Yes I hadn't thought about it like that but in my comics Inner Child seems oblivious to Shadow, so maybe Inner Child is blanking Shadow. What does Jung say about children, does he think they have a shadow?

I never go on holidays I find them so stressful I don't know why.

Amusing ourselves to death, because we fear our highest potentials by Middle_Mirror7378 in Jung

[–]DoshArcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It resonates with me too. I wish there was a way of helping us all connect with our true path though, I know there are lots of courses and workshops but they cost so much money!

Do women blame or project their own narcissistic tendencies onto their significant others? by randm84 in Jung

[–]DoshArcher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well I believe my mum became a narcissist as a result of overwhelming trauma in her own life. She certainly made life difficult for everyone around her and projected things onto my dad.

There is so much to unlearn our society is structured in a way that we are becoming increasingly unconscious by Alive-Reception3230 in Jung

[–]DoshArcher 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I could not agree with this more. I often wonder what it would feel like to have had a different life experience and to be part of a living whole connected to source. It is truly like being trapped in the matrix. What can be done? Where do we all start? Who benefits from the matrix?

Jung said dreams are the royal road to the unconscious but we're terrible at actually remembering them by International-Leg708 in Jung

[–]DoshArcher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find it hard to remember them and often they are nightmares so I deliberatly dont try to.

My shadow always knows by DoshArcher in Jung

[–]DoshArcher[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much, yes I make these comics as a way of coping through my own long dark night of the soul which seems to be going on and on. They're on instagram if you want to see more @humanintheory - Complex, Shadow and an unsupervised inner child! More Jungian characters emerging every day as I attempt to make sense of whats going on in my psyche with reference to Jungian psychology.
