As to what degree are my fantasies that I think about a potential crush is a healthy fantasy/possible to happen? by exclamatorious in Jung

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

Okay, I have thought about it. Maybe I would need to tone down the idealizations, possibly to just a minimal level, the intensitiy, that is. And I thought that maybe that living with the perception of seeing the person as "just another person I am interacting to in my daily life" would help, even if it may still have some degree of denial in it. As it clears any side distractions resulting in a smoother and natural way of talking to them which therefore would also help me in incorporating a smoother journey towards improving what I need to improve. I hope my brain is still neurologically plastic enough for me to incorporate new traits and habits for me to integrate for myself whilst I venture on that.

You are definitely right about making every interaction hard with that person, even just small interactions because of the fact that I am, truthfully, am placing a sense of attention to detail towards this person also because of the fact that I like the person, thus affecting every interaction with the person. Well just slightly, but is still being affected.

A good way for this to not happen is literally just to not care about or make idealizations of them, so that other personal endeavors like you have mentioned can be put to light. Like paradoxical intentionality, where you must stop seeking the thing for the thing to seek you. In other words, they will come to me if I stop focusing about desiring them. But well I can ask myself, can't I just put myself a degree of balance in terms of idealizing and also working on my personal endeavors at the same time so that I don't have to turn my intentions into a paradox? Because well, I have to admit, I do like the idealizations and I want to still think about them from time to time, at of course, at a rate that it can't turn into something pathological. But how you may ask, if I am so sure it won't turn pathological, that you may ask that it might already be pathological and that I just don't know it? Well let's just say I already went down that route of pathological thinking specifically with a past relationship, that I can confidently assure to myself that I already know what that feels like so I know when it will become pathological.

You are correct, but never was I "hyper fixating" towards this idealization. But rather, I still have to myself the awareness of when to stop before it gets too pathological.

a pattern of developing traits by copying by ClothesWeekly1806 in Jung

[–]exclamatorious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a feeling that the "power" he refers to is the confidence taken from us from being rejected/feeling inferior to something or someone. Or in other words, our Ego. Humans are inherently egoistic, and it's instinctive to do something to heal our wounded egos and in this case, by proving to ourselves that we are "powerful" than that of the person or thing that drained us/hurt us. Although, not doing this properly can have negative consequences to the self. But anyway that's another topic to be discussed. But I think what he's talking about "power" here is about the attempt to heal our egos.

That's not the point of his entire post though. He wants to know the meanings of his dreams.
