‘It’s not you, it’s me’

Carl Jung famously said that  that ‘everything that irritates us about others can lead to an understanding of ourselves’.
​
So next time we talk about a ‘difficult’ team member, colleague or ‘friend’ – what might it teach us about ourselves?
​
Loud people who talk non-stop annoy me intensely. The ones that never shut up.
​
So somewhere inside me is probably a louder person trying to get out.  To be heard.
​
Which is a helpful piece of self-awareness for today!
