What the fuck am i supposed to do to feel better???Carl Jung says to not act like your better when your not cuz its spiritual bypassing but how the fuck am i meant to stop myself from feeling like shit when i feel fuxking bad from DP/DR???? I try to tell myself im already feeling normal cuz i think i made myself think i wasnt feeling normal when i do but what if im not doing the right thing and im actually not feeling normal and shouldn’t say i feel normal when i dont, but what if im actually feeling normal without realising it and i need to recognise im already feeling normal or okay already but what if im sliritually bypassing and i have to let myself feel like shit but then how will i feel better if i have to feel like shit nonstop for months?!?
>>33771320wtf is that OP pic. It's going to give me nightmares.Anyway, the concept of spiritual bypassing is bullshit, it's like "gaslighting", people constantly misuse it to mean "people making choices I disagree with." Or depressed crab-bucket people who believe negative emotions are smart, suffering is the only way to grow, and feeling good and having fun is degenerate and evil.It's always good to be positive, just don't do it in an avoidant way.You seem like you need to get out of your head. Surround yourself with positive influences. Talk to chatgpt. Do chores, exercise.
OH I FIGURED IT OUTWhatever im feeling is already a normal feeling and my emotions are already strong, right????
>>33771320>Jungjesus the 1950s called and wants it's ego back
>>33771422Well sometimes feelings lie to you. Feelings will tell you the world is over when you just have a simple temporary problem. The best thing to do is honor your feelings without taking them too literally. Noticing with your rational mind that responding to a situation with more positive emotions seems more reasonable, even though you aren't, isn't "bypassing". Bypassing would be like, not leaving your abusive spouse and instead telling yourself they're your twin flame and you need to stay with them to resolve your karma, instead of doing the obvious but difficult thing of dumping their ass.

>>33771457>Bypassing would be like, not leaving your abusive spouse and instead telling yourself they're your twin flame and you need to stay with them to resolve your karmabut isn’t that the same as feeling like shit and telling yourself your already feeling good?
>>33771566No, affirmations are for practicing feeling good, conditioning yourself. It's not a replacement for taking action, but it's still a practical tool. Don't avoid feeling bad, process those bad feelings and recycle them into something good.In group situations when people's negative thoughts and feelings are dismissed, sometime that gets called spiritual bypassing. But that's just telling someone to go be annoying someplace else, stop being an emotional vampire bringing down the room. There's a time and a a place to process negative thoughts and emotions.What most people need though is for society to stop sucking and to have positive relationships. Little soundbite advice just makes people get carried away in misunderstandings and oversimplifications.
>>33771320Man... I used to make fun of people who jerk to cartoon characters, but this picture awaked some form of primal lust in me.
Jung was basically warning you not to fake spiritual maturity to escape your own messy human stuff. Real growth comes from being honest with yourself, not pretending to be “better” than you are.Figure out the kind of life you actually want. Break it into micro goals with timelines and work your way toward them step by step.Stay strong, OP. I’ve been there. I had to force myself to start living life, even when my own mind didn’t want me to.
