Why You Must Become a Monster (Carl Jung’s Shadow)

Most people define being a “good person” by what they don’t do. They don’t fight. They don’t offend. They don’t raise their voice. They follow rules and avoid conflict. The problem is that harmlessness is not virtue, it’s often fear with a polite mask. This video breaks down the Nice Guy myth and the hidden psychology behind resentment, passive aggression, and sudden eruptions of rage. Using ideas from Carl Jung’s Shadow, Nietzsche’s critique of “slave morality,” and modern personality psychology, we explore how repression drains energy, distorts identity, and turns denied aggression into bitterness. You’ll learn the difference between true self-control and emotional castration, why projection creates enemies, why moral superiority is often camouflage, and how integration turns aggression into courage instead of chaos.
