I was just watching a youtube on Jungian personas and masks. The problem, Jung said, is that people put on masks to gain love and acceptance but hide their true authentic selves. Over time, they forget who they really are and become their mask.
The video was about how to remove the mask and discover your true self, but all I kept thinking was “love and acceptance? just for putting on a mask? how can I learn this skill?”
My thoughts exactly. I would rather recommend reading an actual book by Jung or on Jung. Some of them are rather approachable (far more, than Freud, at least), except for the Red Book, afaik.
