A pinch of salt won't turn me into a sour grape

What do you get when you combine rudeness and vulnerability? 

No, it's not a recipe for disaster - it's actually a recipe for deeper intimacy and connection in relationships!

According to Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, we use defence mechanisms to protect ourselves from confronting uncomfortable truths or feelings. But sometimes, our defense mechanisms can inadvertently reveal deeper emotions or vulnerabilities that could foster closer connections with others. 

Carl Jung believed that being open and authentic, even if it means sharing unconventional or controversial aspects of oneself, can lead to a deeper understanding of both oneself and the other person. In other words, it's time to embrace your inner weirdness and let your freak flag fly!

 Now, I know what you're thinking: "But won't being rude or offensive just push people away?" Not necessarily. By taking risks and being open about personal thoughts or desires, individuals may navigate a path towards greater authenticity and acceptance in relationships. Plus, embracing the shadow self and integrating opposites can lead to greater harmony and balance in your relationships - like the perfect combination of salty and sweet flavours in food.

 So, the next time you find yourself tempted to hide your true thoughts and feelings, remember that being a little bit rude and vulnerable also might just be the key to unlocking deeper intimacy and connection in your relationships.

 Who knew that being a little bit weird could be so beneficial?

It is ok to think DIFFERENTLY. 

Why fit in when you are born to stand out?
