The Difficult Life of The Introverted Intuitive - Carl Jung

Everyone who thinks that this video is describing them is probably the complete opposite of

Having Introverted intuition myself this is incredibly accurate. Living life like this has been both a horrible curse and a divine blessing.

I fit in that category of intuitive introvert exceptionally well. Throughout my life it has been both a curse and a blessing, but surely I wouldn’t want to be any different than I am!
For all the other people here with similar traits: never ever feel ashamed or weird because of your own quite unusual way of perceiving the world and reacting to it. In your intuition there can be found a profound connection to source, focus on that and you will flourish

I'm what happens when an introvert stops caring about what others think and says the "crazy" things to like minded people while the plebs are still around.

From a rationalistic standpoint...
These peepz are the educators and promoters of culture.
"The most useless of men."

No doubt, Jung knew that the above sentiment was not rational - A Socratic Skeptic

93/93 There are many games being played...

I'm a FEMALE intuitive (AND HOW) - does that make me useless too?? Carl, Carl, you disappoint me. 🥺

And... A medieval Black angel with a sword 🗡️ piercing her innards?? Wow, interesting choice of illustration.

Amen 💯

USELESS? Never heard that before. While others are busy talking, I am planning, researching, and DOING!

"Indeed the most useless of men"
Wow alright, thanks Jung.







(he's right)

The life itself is a curse and a blessing for almost everyone. Also I cannot comprehend the perspect of view of an extravert, therefore I cannot compare that much.

Not it, i wear many masks, introvert is just another hat.

Useless?....lol...the psycho bable rambles of a intellectual mind is sometimes funny

It's hard to believe that majority for salt is more than sugar. So now sugar has to face all the negative stories of this yuga.

...all the blue collar intuitives watching this: 🤨 "ok buddy"

As an intuitive introvert I've learned that once you accept that most people will misunderstand you & focus on your own understanding of yourself, it's liberating bc you're able to observe the world from your perspective without feeling the need to want to b understood & accepted by others in a world where validation is so desperately craved
You see the world & humanity as they truly are, not who they act as

It takes great gall but also great awareness to challenge the ideas of such people. Their thoughts and perceptions may be finely sculpted, but this doesn't free them from criticism. In fact, their tendency to be able to spot a bullshitter is unparalleled, giving once all the more reason to point out flaws in their views. This gains their respect, helping them see a person as unshallow. Ready to look into their conscious and pick apart the things that are shitty with reservation.

I only say this because of personal experience, but I'm sure some will relate.

Much love.

From my own observations, Ni dominants appear to REALLY struggle to put into words the truths they 'see', mostly because said truths are intuitively 'felt' in ways far more expressive than words or thoughts. And if they were to explain said experiences in words, it would make sense to few while falling short of capturing even a fraction of what was felt.

This in turn can make the Ni dominant feel even less understood, and more alone.

My life is not really interesting though 🙄

Useless… Harsh wording. The most difficult maze to solve - Yes. As an INFJ, I can tell you that, but its worth it. Once we are at a certain level, we can be the ones, seeing others mazes, and mentoring those people with great confidence. You gotta learn to build bridges.

Did he say that people like me are useless? Jung sure could be a jerk sometimes.

Why didn't Jung loop us back into spirituality being an answer for us?

Even if we are "useless" to people in the 3D world, we mean a lot to God and that matters in ways that Jung was too dense to comprehend.

Eternalized is an extraordinary web site, with an abundance of long videos with intelligent narration and awesome imagery. The titles alone whet the appetite of the seeker. It is based on mythology and largely Jungian. This series made me spent a large sum of money on Jung's Red Book!

In a sense, the introverts make the ‘pearls’ that the extroverts then go to war for. Introverts are useful to extroverts only if they can be used as a form of ‘social capital’, where to know them or of them increases the value of some position or status they’re aiming for.

I am sure Jung used the word "useless" with himself in mind in comparison to a farmer, a carpenter, a doctor etc. Being a psycho-analyst studying the human psyche at that time, he was on a road less travelled. You know how we tend to "criticise" ourselves for the sake of objectivity. To make a point. Not to ridicule. Jung is too nuanced for that. In Physics as in Life, nothing is wasted or useless!

We may have stretches of idle days of low energy from overwork or when we heal from some big or small trauma and that's normal! And if you are not yet 40, you are still in the midst of putting the pieces of your life puzzle together. Cheers everyone. Stay true and gracious to yourselves!

Thank you! Explains alot!

I discovered this about myself and there's such an aliveness to be able to look at the world and see that its soul is actually hidden and hasn't actually left.

HEY!!.... >:(

Í do agree.

INTJ

Know yourself… 🔥❤️🔥

I guess that sounds about right

The introverted Intuitive is the most highly evolved of all types and is ideally suited for Self Realization/Individuation.

🤔

I think im an alien

The most useless in a world full of people desperately clinging to any script that will ensure they fit in, becoming pawns in the hands of those who socially engineer. We are most definitely more highly evolved than these.

Well fuck

Useless... well if people would stop and listen to our ideas and analysis and warnings, we'd be real useful. But you can lead a horse to water, can't make it drink!

This is me and I’ve come to accept it… I think

for anyone out there like me whos felt lost trying to piece together jungs real teachings, just trust me and go read The Hidden Jung Files by elena graves. thank me later.

Introveted intuitive diagnosed with CPTSD .... Hard life indeed.

PLOUGH 🎉

I agree..interesting indeed.

This image of the woman with wings in the Snake inside her is powerful! Where is it from? Could you help me find the source of this painting?

Why did it take me 42 years to realize this?

I could’ve avoided a lot of pain and suffering.

The last thing I was ever called was “interesting “ lol
