Humans are social creatures and enjoy socialising with other human beings. But many of us blindly assume that humans need to socialise all the time and therefore, being alone is often seen as being lonely. While being alone and being lonely can easily overlap, there’s a difference.
According to Jung’s theory, when we don’t like someone or certain people, it’s because there are aspects in them that trigger our shadow self, the part we try to hide from other people. However, I figured that the shadow-self theory is not the only reason when it comes to disliking or hating people. These will always be reasons – known or unknown – for people to dislike other people. They always exist. But acknowledging them is not enough. We have to know how to deal with them.
