“Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.”
— Carl Jung

Simplified Meaning:
When we get annoyed by other people's behavior, it's a chance to learn about our own feelings and reactions. For example, if someone talks loudly and it bothers us, it might be because we value quiet and calm environments. By noticing what irritates us, we can understand our preferences, values, and possibly areas where we need to grow. It's like looking in a mirror; our reactions to others show us parts of ourselves. Instead of just getting mad, we can use these moments to reflect and improve. This way, we turn everyday annoyances into opportunities for personal growth.
