RE: Mid-Life Personality Development + Jungian Theory Of Personality Differences
Sorry about your flu, I hope you get better soon...
About having more balanced personality at middle-age, I think this so because we tend out grow our childish tensions/cares. We don't care about most of the things we did in our early lives.
I'm just 23( will be 24 in 7day), and I think I grew into the true self in my late teen years when I discovered poetry. I became aware and one with my thoughts/emotions. And yes I love being analytically, but my intuition overrides the logical side of me most times.
I don't think it's about growing out of childish concerns. I'm in my mid-forties and at this age one typically has been living independently for 20-25 years and been leading a settled adult life for quite some time, often 15-20 years in modern societies. Many people begin to want some kind of change at that stage. You're a couple of decades from this stage in your life depending on what kind of lifestyle you decide to choose for yourself in the coming years.
