The Danger of Seeing What Others Don't – Carl Jung

The Danger of Seeing What Others Don't – Carl Jung You saw the groom's face change at the wedding. You heard the tiredness under a friend's cheerful voice. You knew who was lying before anyone said a word. And for most of your life, seeing it has cost you something: you were called too sensitive, too negative, the difficult one. Carl Jung knew this cost from the inside. Looking back over his whole life, he wrote, "As a child I felt myself to be alone, and I am still, because I know things and must hint at things which others apparently know nothing of, and for the most part do not want to know." This video walks through the five dangers of seeing what others don't, in the order most people meet them, and then what this gift becomes in the later years, when it is finally used with love. In this video: • Why the gift of seeing what others miss can't be switched off, and why it leaves you so tired • What happens when you say it out loud and nobody believes you • The loneliness of a room full of people who love you • Why the one who sees so often gets blamed, and what Jung said about projection • The danger almost nobody notices: seeing everyone except yourself • What your gift becomes in the later years 💬 If you've spent your life seeing what others miss, comment 444: I trust what I see.
