Why You're Becoming Less Interested in Everyone – Carl Jung

Why You're Becoming Less Interested in Everyone – Carl Jung Your phone lights up with a name you used to be glad to see, and you let it ring. The dinners feel like work. The small talk feels impossible. Most people have started to feel far away, and a quiet question follows you around: am I becoming cold? You are not. Carl Jung believed that somewhere in the middle of life, a person's attention begins to turn, away from the world and back toward the self. From the outside it looks like losing interest in people. From the inside, it is the beginning of the part of your life that finally belongs to you. In this video: • Why your attention is coming home after decades spent on everyone else • Why you are tired of the role, not the people • Why you can feel lonely in a room full of people you love • What happens when you stop paying for belonging • Why your time suddenly feels so precious • Whether this ends with you alone, and who stays 💬 If this is you, comment 444: I am not cold, I am coming home.
