The "love" of some people maybe, but not everyone and is not a characteristic of a gender.

    Think about it: if the man had no love from his mother, he had to learn to love himself as a replacement. Now he experiences women as incapable of loving which furthers his own investment in himself.
    Narcissism, at the end of the day, is a depleted self that is little nourished from parental love. Narcs parents have their own autoerotic tradition they keep passing on.

    At 1:46 to the end, she mentions that as soon as the transformation starts to take place, other men with an undeveloped anima will try to keep the woman to themselves as an object, which leads to the tendecies of relapsing.
    Does that mean that as a man struggles to transform his anima, so should the woman be conscious of this transformation in order to know when she is becoming the object of another man's ideal romanticisms and autoerotic fantasies? That is for a stable relationship to be found.

      I believe she is referring to an internal struggle.
      As you said, she is talking about what happens as soon as the transformation starts to take place. The transformation is not complete, and the "new" or "transformed" aspect of self has not yet been developed to a capacity where it can reliably or conclusively fend off the defenses and maneuvers of the underdeveloped (yet overly-empowered) anima.

      @@haitiankid9456 I would counter it consciously. If we leave these two forces in the unconscious or subconscious, the underdeveloped, over-empowered anima will persist as the path of least resistance - imagine a trail that is walked upon often and is therefore tame and walkable - while the new, transformed aspect will be absorbed into the anima - and, in being absorbed, what is "new" and "transformed" will be re-interpreted as false, merely a part of the "old" "bad" self (an interpretation that is false in itself). By maintaining a deliberate effort to bring the new, transformed aspects into consciousness and hold them there, we level the playing field. Eventually, this levelling of the playing field will lead the new and transformed aspects of self to become empowered and developed within the subconscious, to the point that the old ways are no longer automatic.

      @ RUclips is weird with posts, I can’t even see what i wrote to you anymore lol.
      I’ve seen what you said about the porn addiction, it’s been as bad to men’s minds as what instagram/dating apps has done to women’s minds - both sexes are trapped in artificial fantasies that cut them off from the real world and genuine opposite sex interactions. I’ve got stories where I’ve seen some guys DEEP into porn addiction where it consumed their lives. It was crazy. But i see now it’s like drugs to some people, where they can freely access it 24/7 with their phones.
      In my situation i unconsciously used my ‘shadow’ (the un-dealt with rage I had growing up with my mother) into leaving my house at 18 for the military. It was the best/worst environment for someone like me. My anger made me an ideal leader in the military’s eyes, and they saw even when I was young-no matter the worst things they could yell and say to me, i never flinched - I heard worst from my mother at 7yrs old lol. But I paid the price. After 9/11, in the span of 2 years i almost died 3 times, but i never dealt with it. I buried and hid my PTSD for almost 10yrs and then i had to confront my ‘shadow’ fully - and it changed who I was and stripped me of most of what my previous personality was. I still have echoes of ‘that guy’, but after years of climbing away from ‘the pit’ (something truly terrifying I can’t explain but pushed me away from personal denial of my ‘shadow’- I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy and I can fully understand why some people would delete themselves if they had to live with ‘that’ most days) I feel freer and calmer, but lost a lot to get to the present. Lost my previous life and accomplishments, my identity, everything of who I was. But it was worth it to see what I can see now, and see how so many others are unconsciously trapped in their lives in various ways with their own ‘shadows’. But the frustration now is trying to explain it where you feel you’ve come back from a foreign country and trying to explain to others what you saw and went through that could help them, but you’re saying it in a foreign language they can’t understand. It’s a very isolating feeling but it does help give a sense of purpose to try everyday to figure out a way to make myself a better communicator of an extremely complex experience

A man's way of connecting us sexual and we understand sexual bonding more than women do. And we are gaslit by granny here into believing that that component of ourselves is entirely selfish when it isn't. We don't have sex just for purely our own pleasure. For me, I receive the most pleasure when I know I'm pleasing her sexually and she wants to be with me. Because that's my job as a man is to pour my love into someone. And I'm not going to be shamed if sexual love is my favorite form. There's nothing wrong with it. I enjoy all other forms of love too but I'm allowed to pick and choose which ones I enjoy the most.

    I believe this autoerotic love is very similar for the vast majority of the young (male and females) in the Collective West cultures. Only age and unhappy experiences allow for emotional growth. This is what I've learned and observed throughout my life. Young females are as driven towards sex as young men; both are driven by raging hormones - this is how humanity thrives and grows - it's biology.

    True.
    But, that’s the natural way of love relationship between men and women.
    Men who love women as you are describing, are the ones who experience unconditional love from women.
    The ones who have this developed ‘Anima’, as you are describing, experience a ‘savior’ kind of relationship with women.
    So this ‘anima’ is just a way of describing feminine men who will never experience unconditional love from women, and will always be considered as captain provider and savior, rather than a partner in love.
    They love passively, which isn’t appealing to women.
    This video seems old, if this woman gets back to this era, she will realize that she’s wrong, the ‘anima’ as she says, should not be developed.
    Men love actively, women love passively.
    This lady probably just experienced an alpha man, and became an alpha widow, she can’t get over the fact that she loved him so much unconditionally, but that wasn’t enough for him to stay with her.

    A man's way of connecting is sexual and we understand sexual bonding more than women do. And we are gaslit by granny here into believing that that component of ourselves is entirely selfish when it isn't. We don't have sex just for purely our own pleasure. For me, I receive the most pleasure when I know I'm pleasing her sexually and she wants to be with me. Because that's my job as a man is to pour my love into someone. And I'm not going to be shamed if sexual love is my favorite form. There's nothing wrong with it. I enjoy all other forms of love too but I'm allowed to pick and choose which ones I enjoy the most.

    • @dantepatel
      @dantepatel Месяц назад +21

      To an extent, you're correct. But you should try to understand the female perspective, as well. In the start of relationships for women, they can be scared of the man. Unsure if he is a r-pist, unsure if he is simply using the woman for her body and may throw her away the moment he gets bored of sex with her.
      The woman is capable of reciprocating the sexual aspect of romance, but her primary concern is that she feels safe. A lot of men rush into sexual encounters (due to their fantasies of sex) and they're completely unaware of this aspect of things. Even if you are trying to make sure that she enjoys sex as well, the certainty of whether or not the relationship has a future may not be there. And they may pull away to avoid future heartbreak.
      You counteract this fear she may feel by actively participating in the other forms of love. It's about being empathetic and understanding of what may make the other person uncomfortable.

      You are wrong. Male s*xual drive is entirely selfish. Men are responsible for over 90% of r*pe. Men often leave women who can't provide them sex due to serious illness like cancer. There are horror stories about men who literally came to hospitals to their dying wives in order to coerce them into performing sexual acts on them, despite their state. There are men who push wives to perform sexual acts shortly after giving birth, when they are not fully recovered yet. There are men who have HPV and other STDs and despite that they have sex with women and give it to them, a virus like HPV which can cause cervical cancer in women. Men who make female birth control ineffective on purpose or make holes in condoms because they want to force women into pregnancy. Men who coerce women into performing unpleasant sexual acts because they saw them in p*rn. I won't even mention that except treating women like free prostitutes, men also treat them as free domestic labour and mental health advisors. All that and they don't even like women as people, men only like and respect other men. Most men are literally parasites on women.

      You're taking the term "autoerotic" a little too literally. It's not purely about physical sex in this context, but that a man may make love itself more of a condition of himself rather than a feeling towards a woman. Hence her example of the woman sensing the man courting her is really just emotionally indulging himself rather than genuinely expressing his true love for her as a woman. She makes a great distinction by saying that the woman isn't the subject of his love (like the woman as you may be referring to) but rather his "partner" he needs to feel himself in love, which means who she is isn't important, but that she's there to fulfill his desire to be in love is.

      Thus that you have shown yourself to be a hypocrite, in that it is supposedly driving western society apart and is a flawed ideal, yet it is reasonable to use it to describe something.

      Yes. She's essentially projecting her own superstitious beliefs stereotyping "femininity", a set of cognitive biases and assumptions which she's claiming possession over through correlating observed/learned patterns she was exposed to and now associates with women in her time onto women as mutually exclusive to them.
      Anima/Animus are both dangerously antiquated notions. There's no proof select behaviors, actions, and characteristics originate or are fixed in women or men inherently. These judgments only factor what they're aware of present tense. Mostly generalizing and ignoring environmental factors. It's sexism really.
      Imagine three children arrived individually at a movie theater to watch a film where knowledge of a skill is taught and past down from character to character on screen. One viewer may arrive when only a man is performing the skill. Would the first child assume women could also perform the skill? One viewer may arrive when they only perceive a woman learning the skill. Would that child assume men can learn the skill? One viewer may walk in after both the man and woman performed that skill and moved on. Would the last child be aware of the knowledge and skill that he/she did not see?
      This woman is arrogantly condescending men with her presumptuous rigid beliefs that assume men are limited to what she identifies as masculine traits and must LEARN what she considers feminine traits.
      Largely oversimplifying men and women in claiming "anima" is what provides men the equivalent of his capacity to express "real" love: which is beyond deceptive and actually a gross prejudice that I denounce as misandrist bigotry. She's stereotype threatening men and essentially taking credit for what makes us human by giving that over to women because of her biases.
      Glittering generalities are logical fallacies. Describing a "masculine" man whose obsessed by a woman as a man who cannot love a woman because of an underdeveloped feminine side is her admittance to being ignorant of men's subjective reality and unique perspective on women. In reality, yes, this is female narcissism as she is completely lacking in empathy for men since she stays in her perspective without ever considering men's perspective regarding attraction. This woman's emotional intelligence is underdeveloped.

      Mozart was also a financial and physical wreck and dead at 35. If he had of been more integrated within himself and society maybe he could have lived to be an old man. Maybe not as great a superstar but he could have been a great father grandfather and teacher to the next generation, who knows?

      @@sunkintree Just because we don't have a detailed modern forensic report and autopsy that doesn't mean that reasonable speculations can't be made. He was ill and in financial difficulties. My point is about the problems and dangers of a "Rock Star" lifestyle and a "better to burn out than to fade away' attitude.
      We can only see what Mozart has given us not what might have been. There is perhaps a feeling that every part of his life was necessary for him to have created what he did. But I don't think his early death and the early deaths of so many creative geniuses was necessary. It is likely that his creative powers would have declined as he aged that is very common but with a slower paced and more sensible lifestyle could have produced so much more.
      What effect could Mozart have had on the world as a teacher in his 50s, for example? The effects of a teacher can be infinite, there is no way of telling where they end.

      ​@@jakedee4117 as far as I'm aware there was no "rock star lifestyle attitude" in Mozart's time. Mozart did not feel it necessary to uphold some tradition of rock stars, rather it appears more to me the natural inclination of any human being toward short-sighted sense pleasure and extravagant living when those opportunities are made available to us. As for his impact on the world should he have lived past his untimely death, it's pretty much guaranteed for a good classical composer to have improved over time rather than to degrade. Classical music allows for artists to improve well into old age, unlike popular music styles of the modern day which value youth, bombast and blind passion over skill and improvement. Even someone who lived as extravagantly as Mozart, my money is on our having lost a lot of great music he would have composed rather than assuming he would have degraded as time passed.
