How to be in Harmony with your Dark Side 

Absolutely, it's not easy to overcome such strong emotions. Sometimes, when we're triggered, we're actually projecting our past experiences onto present situations without realizing it. It's crucial to recognize this and take a step back. Asking yourself, 'if I don't get angry, then what?' can help you envision alternative responses. Maybe it's taking a moment to breathe, postponing the conversation for a better time, going for a walk, or expressing your feelings verbally. Remember, anger is a natural emotion and shouldn't be repressed; it's a part of us that deserves acknowledgment and understanding. Keep exploring different ways to manage it! 👍☘

Hello Sappletoast, I am glad I could help you feeling better! 💖

Yes indeed, DG, the most important thing is to rise above them and not engage with it. ✌

I'm very glad to hear that Fox, thank you so much for letting me know!! 💖🙂

I am glad to hear that Tarragon! Of course, I'll be glad to!

Thank you so much for sharing Box, I a glad I could help! 💖 That's right, accept all of your parts and be a parent to them, talk to them without judgement and give them advice! 👍

It's my pleasure Nay, I am glad it was hopeful! ✌☘

Thank's very kind Marisol, I am glad you like it!! 💖

It is based on the concept of the shadow in Jungian psychoanalysis, I recommend further reading!

Thanks so much Arttu!! 🙂

I am glad you like it!! 💖

Thank you so much Blasty, I am happy to hear that! 💖

Thank you so much Pop!!

You're so welcome Alise, thank you for letting me know!! 💖✨

Hello Tonny, thank you so much for sharing.💖 Sounds like you are an empathetic person! The "success" story was an example, if you have anger issues there is something else triggering you. The next few times try to pay attention of what makes you angry... does it happen when you are misunderstood, accused, invalidated, ignored? I will make a video on Anger.

@@PixiGags im glad you will, and thanks! I dont think you will understeand why do i have anger issues cuz majority of people doesnt. They say: ‘’ this is impossible!’’

Thanks a lot Morten, glad you like it!! :D

Glad it was helpful Boato!

I am happy to hear that Melin!

Thank you! Yes, that's true! People considered psychotic are actually just sensitive to to energies most can't feel.

My pleasure Ember!! :D

Thank you so much Hohe, I appreciate you liking this channel and sharing your story!! About the way you feel, that's exactly what the shadow is. You are not alone, we are all wired that way but because it happens at a subconscious level, we are unaware it's happening. The fact that you can feel it somehow it's positive, it means you will be able to integrate it and become your authentic self. Let's say your "mask" with the world is to be a nice person, you will then project to others your negative feelings, you will cause ( without being aware ) people around you to react negatively and confirm your core believe that you are good and there is something wrong with them. This will keep you safe from feeling shame, but it will make you live in a loop of doing this over and over. Try to see yourself as a wonderful all, accepting also those parts of you that ( for now ) you see as negative or shameful.

Thank you Angel! 😄

Dear @theMUSTACHEperson, Thank you deeply for your thoughtful input and for distinguishing between cognitive dissonance and post-traumatic trauma. Your points are valid and highly appreciated. I am sure the community will benefit from your words. I will delve deeper into it and consider it while creating my future work. Thank you also for loving my work, and I wish you all the best. 🙏💖

Hello Simply, thank you so much for reaching out! 💖💖 The reason for hate is judgement, most likely there is a part of yourself you find responsible for something. When a child receives abuse, he internalizes the abuser as part of himself. Even if the abuse stops, that inner part keeps up the abuse. Do you think this can be your case? ( Abuse is not necessarily physical. Invalidation, blame and shame are also abuse. )

@@PixiGags Thank you

Thank you!! :D

Hello Certi, why so?

Hello Wilczy, thank you for sharing I am very happy to hear! Psychology is a big interest of mine and I thought I could share some knowledge using my video format. :D

Thanks Michael! :D

@@PixiGags No problem. :3

Dear @Cynnabuns, Thank you so much for sharing your comment. Anger often stems from inner conflict. You might have parts of yourself that feel neglected and are expressing that anger. This doesn't mean self-hate; it’s an opportunity to understand what's going on within you. Suffering usually comes from identifying with things outside of you, comparing yourself to others, or to an idealized version of who you think you should be. The moment you accept things as they are, your quality of life improves. It's important to love every part of yourself, even the part that gets angry. Talk to that part and listen to its needs. 💖 Wishing you all the best!

@PixiGags thanks ❤️ I wasn't expecting such a nice reply or one at all. So thank you! And I wish you the best as well and I look forward to more of these animations. Last night I was feeling down. I didn't mean to leave such a depressing comment. Today feels nicer

:D

Hello Mae! :D

Dear Dag, I understand what you're experiencing, and I've been through something similar myself. Here's what I've learned: From a young age, we internalize how we're treated by our caregivers, forming an internal voice that influences how we treat ourselves. If we were treated poorly, that voice can be harsh and critical. But here's the thing: you have the power to challenge those negative messages. It may be tough at first, but with time, you can change that inner dialogue. Think of it as re-parenting yourself. You can create an inner parent who is kind, compassionate, and supportive. It could be someone you admire, like a mentor or a fictional character. Start by disengaging from those negative thoughts and memories. You deserve kindness and self-compassion, just like anyone else. Remember, you're stronger than you think.

Thanks so much Spirid, I am glad you enjoy the video!! 💖😊

Hi Andrew, thank you for your kind words! Yes, it's a complex topic, and everyone's journey is unique. Just remember to let things happen at your own pace; that's the best approach. 😺✌

That is because this is a very basic explanation of Carl Jung's concept of the shadow, read more on it, it is much more meaningful!

@@nyanarchy I do know of Carl Jung's works! :) I do think he is a brilliant man who has made many contributions. I did try following his words as the facts of my own microcosmic experience, and unfortunately for my specific case, it made me more unwell, especially as I was going through a reality detachment type mental crisis. I do believe this works for a lot of people! :) I just unfortunately was not one of them. Take me as an odd man out case.

Thanks so much Sponge, I really appreciate it!! 💖😊 You can release bad emotion by accepting. What consumes people inside is not what happens, what consumes them is that they can't accept the fact that it happened to them. By accepting what happens, both good and bad, you will find inner peace. (btw, accepting doesn't mean being passive, you can still take action... but you will take action driven by your hire self, not driven by negative emotions)

As they say, @Transformers2Fan1, "hate the sin, love the sinner." Of course, you shouldn't condone violent or illegal acts; those should have consequences. The point is that negative feelings of anger and hate don't harm the other person but only yourself, as you hold onto them, ruminate, and sink into a low vibrational state. Realize that inside, we all have the same parts, including the one that enjoys causing pain. In most of us, it's repressed because society doesn't overtly approve of it, but it exists somewhere. Remember: "In the midst of chaos, find stillness within." ✌☘

Hi @AgentCalifornia! The feelings you're describing can indeed be complex and often stem from deeper psychological patterns. According to developmental psychology, our self-perception and worldview are influenced by early relationships and experiences. The four patterns you mentioned are: - Me Good, World Good: Positive self-image and view of the world. Generally associated with healthy self-esteem and an optimistic outlook. - Me Good, World Bad: Positive self-image but a negative view of the world, which can lead to feelings of frustration or helplessness despite personal self-worth. - Me Bad, World Good: Negative self-image but a positive view of the world. This can create a sense of unworthiness or self-doubt, even in supportive environments. - Me Bad, World Bad: Negative self-image and view of the world. Often linked to more profound issues like depression or low self-esteem, where both self-worth and external perceptions are negative. If you love those around you but still struggle with self-hate, it might be that you’ve experienced people comparing you to others in a devaluing way. These negative beliefs can become ingrained and impact how you see yourself. It’s important to recognize that these are projected beliefs, not reality. When you feel unworthy or undeserving of kindness, you might subconsciously behave in ways that reinforce this perception, leading others to treat you poorly. By bringing these patterns to conscious awareness and challenging them, you can start to change these dynamics over time. Self-awareness and self-compassion can help in reshaping your self-perception and improving how you relate to yourself and others. All the best! ❤✌

Hello Sourcheese!! :D

Hi @pedrosso0! Thank you so much for reaching out and sharing your thoughts. Anger, like other emotions, is a response to internal conflicts or unmet needs. It isn't an inherent part of your identity but rather a signal from different parts of your psyche that may be in conflict. For example, if you were shamed for crying as a child, you might have learned to repress that part of yourself. Consciously, you may associate crying with being weak or bad. When you see someone else crying, it can trigger a negative response in you because it brings up those repressed feelings. This reaction can feel like a surge of uncomfortable energy, prompting you to project your discomfort onto others. To work through this, it's important to recognize that crying is a natural and healthy response. By allowing yourself to cry and validating that part of yourself, you can reduce the negative emotional charge associated with it. Over time, you may start feeling compassion for people who are crying instead of feeling triggered. Integrating different parts of yourself involves acknowledging and accepting all aspects of your experience, even those you find difficult. There are no inherently bad parts; each part of you has developed to help you cope in some way. Misbehavior often stems from unresolved internal conflicts or unmet needs rather than from integrating these parts. Holding onto a self-image of perfection can lead to projecting one's faults onto others, causing more harm. Embracing all parts of yourself, including those that make mistakes, can lead to healthier relationships and a more authentic self-understanding. I hope this helps, and I wish you all the best! ❤

​@@PixiGagsthank you for your thorough response, I can't imagine how much time it takes to respond to all these comments. That being said, in the first few seconds of this video, anger is shown as one emotion that is repressed due to shame. I'd definitely say that there exist inherently bad parts. I am aware that this goes against public opinion and could be wrong but I simply have not seen any way for it not to be. While they may have developed to do something for us, I certainly think emotions can be bad: anger and frustration towards something someone else does that they're not disallowed to do, feeling yourself to be better than everyone else as that's just factually incorrect, as for sadness: being super sensitive to fictional characters' struggles or deaths I'd say are bad traits, and that's just a few

Hello Bilbo, thanks so much for sharing! 💖 "Don’t criticize or judge other people" is very nice! I personally believe we should "accept" not "justify" and not "condemn" yourself. The word of Jesus mentioned in the gospel is taken very seriously by modern psychology, as it can help us in our inner journey.

@@PixiGags may the gospel continue to give aid to your spiritual journey. Though I would urge vigilance, I gained a lot of relief from the techniques you describe (taught by Teal Swan/Alan Watts) before discovering their true author. Great channel btw. Especially the classic animation masterclasses you have made available, thanks for uploading.

🙂

Hello, @williamhamilton5868! Thank you for sharing your opinion about this video. While it's basic and simplified, I see it as a starting point for young people prone to acting on impulses. The human mind is incredibly complex, and each person's inner landscape is uniquely their own, of course! ✌

The concept itself is complex, this is just a very very simple explanation. Carl Jung's works explain it better.

Sounds good Vitha!! 🙂
