We all - every one of us - exhibit patterns of behavior that are obvious to everyone but that we ourselves cannot see.
We will deny that they exist.
These are our "blind spots". Carl Jung calls them our "shadow".
Have you ever noticed how you are often involved in situations that are similar across different aspects of your life?
Why does everyone leave me?
Or how you have the exact same fight with different people in different relationships?
Have you ever said - or heard a friend say - things like "why does every person I date end up cheating on me?" or "why does everyone betray me?" or "why doesn't anyone understand me?" or "why do I always end up in long distance relationships?"
These are all the consequence of our blind spots.
"Until you make the unconscious conscious" said Jung "it will direct your life, and you will call it fate".
