8. Tension and discomfort in yur presence
Even if they don’t say anything, their behavior changes in your presence: their gaze becomes sharper, their tone more dry or irritated, and their body tenses. Jung emphasizes that it is in these small involuntary reactions that the unconscious manifests itself.
What to do if you recognize that someone secretly dislikes you
Don’t react negatively. Refuse to participate in their emotional game. As Jung said, what we project onto others reflects our inner world.
Set clear boundaries. Walking away from people who have hurt you emotionally is an act of self-respect. You don’t need to make excuses to keep your cool.
Don’t try to change them. Deep feelings like envy or resentment can’t be cured by logic or attention. If someone doesn’t love you, it’s their inner conflict, not yours.
Talk about it if you feel the need. You can calmly and respectfully ask if something is bothering them. Sometimes silence only perpetuates a toxic dynamic.
