What does jung has to say about toxic love?
Love feels complicated and exhausting for me. I struggle with attachment, which brings me peace, but it also makes vulnerability difficult. I rarely complain, and when I do, I feel like I’m being “too much” or demanding, even when asking for the bare minimum. I often feel insecure about not being pretty enough and worry that my partner might find my friends more attractive. As much as I want love, it feels risky, and I avoid arguments because they seem like an end. I sometimes lash out when I avoid things too long. My fear of intimacy, likely influenced by my religion, makes it harder to connect deeply.
I wonder if I’ll end up alone, as love feels like a lot to navigate. I can’t tolerate abuse and rarely feel heard or supported. The idea of motherhood feels distant. Jung might say this reflects a conflict between my conscious desires and my unconscious fears, as I struggle with parts of myself I’ve been taught to suppress. What do you think jung would say about all of that? I'm new to his lectures and I'm still finding it hard to understand!
