Re: picking on the little guy
i was with a group of friends, when this "new guy" appeared. he was really small. child-like in size, but obviously an adult, full facial hair etc.
You're aware of familiar self aspects when you meet something new in yourself. Even though he appears small/new, he's fully developed and has been there long enough to have matured.
i went to say hello, and extended my hand to shake his.
An attempt to fully integrate him into a well developed Self.
he put out his hand, but then flicked some ash from his cigarette into my hand. asshole!
Trouble integrating him. Remembering that he is part of you, perhaps you're not happy with the "little guy" part of you at some level. This makes perfect sense to me. It's hard to reconcile being a thoughtful person with being assertive about your needs as well. So, he acts like a shadow and displays behaviours that could be considered offensive socially. Shadow aspects will pop out in our behaviours in life if we totally suppress aspects of ourselves that we believe are too unsavoury.
