>Naoto starts sweating

Accept who you are. If you don’t like it, change it. But acceptance is the first step to doing anything besides failing

not even that bad desu

>you will never be shoved in the TV and have your friends rescue you
>they will never be disillusioned by how miserable piece of human trash you are as they hear all the shadow's words and after saving you tell you to never contact them again

I'm pretty ashamed to admit this but that would only make me hard, not wanna kill myself.

You idiot, the second you say what your shadow would be, you are literally accepting that it's a part of yourself, meaning there is no shadow in the first place

I've had this nightmare
I've also had
>they accept you but you know it's just hollow friendship so you kill yourself

guess I don't have a shadow bois

I feel like if I saw my shadow I wouldn’t even be like “you aren’t me” because I don’t even know myself well enough to know what I’m absolutely not as a person. I would just see all my flaws represented symbolically and I’d be too busy trying to figure out what they represent.
I wonder what that says about me

Yeah that's not how it works. Jung states one can know your shadow. Knowing it does not mean accepting yourself.
A shadow is any part of yourself you willfully "other" knowingly or otherwise.
"I'm just like that when I drink"

i AM my shadow

So Zig Forums, would you be able to accept your shadow? Remember that there are people watching you.

Truly an enlightened man.

Probably not. I just thought about what my Shadow probably looks like and I can't imagine even looking at that thing in the eye.

Assuming I’m me and I realize it’s my shadow, I’d probably say I accept it. Whether I would mean it is the matter of contention.

Okay, cabbage man.

I hope my shadow kills me

I'd just kill myself.

I already hate myself and know I’m human trash, give me my fucking powers

I don't think I'd have an issue per se. I think the core disagreement I would have with my shadow is that I want to hit shit in spite of knowing it's not socially acceptable and so my Shadow would be super fucking aggressive and I don't think I'd be capable of kicking my own shadow's ass.

It's quite simple. Your shadow is going to be everything you hate. There isn't anything in the world that makes you angry, any person that gets under your skin? That's what your shadow is.

I don't know, but I sure as hell would be anxious as fuck about it

I don't think most people have the introspection needed to even picture what their shadow would be like in the first place. Might just be projection on my part though.

I think on Zig Forums, where most people hate themselves, they would.

i suspect a lot of anons here have a shadow like futabas, because they hate themselves

My shadow unironically is pretty much a Gooner / coomer that's super *euphoric* and self important.

Tons of sexual imagery. I probably couldn't.

I don't even know what to expect from my shadow, i can think what it could be, but how am i supposed to know something i think i already know? It would be a wild ride.

N-no... that's not... y-you're not me
>HAHAHA THAT'S RIGHT, I'M ME NOW. I'VE NO USE FOR YOU ANYMO-
I also like little boys dressed up as little girls.

If nobody else is around to witness my confrontation with my shadow then I would immediately accept it, but in front of others, I would wring him by the neck, go somewhere private, accept it, and tell the others he got me mixed up with someone else because he could say something really embarrassing or unsavory.

My shadow has a huge dick

I think I’d get along well with my shadow or any copy of myself I’d even die to save two copies of myself. This is how I know I’d get along well with my shadow he would have good taste.

A big hypocritical idiot that doesn’t think for themselves?

Shit wait a second that’s me. Fuck.

I'm holding a bottle of vodka as we speak so you believe I have any delusions left? I fucked up. It's my fault. I won't get over it. They're not coming back.

I don't really have any repressed feelings since I've accepted the fact that I beat my dick to lolis daily

Addendum: I would just accept him before he could say something really bad. Hell, I wouldn't even let the bastard exhale before welcoming him with open arms.

what brand

>missing the point
Other people need to be there for this to work, user. Overcoming your shadow is your ability to expose your flaws to people and create a Persona from it.
Everyone in private could accept their flaws without a second thought. It's the moment people have to worry about other people finding out their flaws which could lead to losing their friends and place which suddenly makes this actually hard and worth doing.

Your shadow would remind you of the things you still have.

I will seethe, I will rage I will vehemently deny it and cause a boss battle to happen.
Then after a lot of struggle, I'd begrudingly accept it.

I need to emphasize this and overshare- but I absolutely could not. How could I when surrounded by a bunch of normies, accept "sex demon fucking himself with a cucumber and listening to orgasm denial hypnosis, who also attempts to push everyone away from me by being a know-it-all self important prick self-described-guru"

God I'm trash

>shadow is suicidal
>finally does it
>you suddenly die
Does this happen

Guess I'll die.

I mean, with P4 shadows you either learn to accept yourself or the shadow kills you. Not really any opportunity to off yourselves.

I mean, in terms of mechanics, he'd probably keep failing to kill himself, causing you tons of wounds and hurting tons of people who are in the wrong place at the wrong time- constantly increasing your suffering but never quite succeeding in offing itself/yourself/youguys

How do I know that I am not the shadow and my "shadow" is real me?

Surely it would represent a feeling of failure and admonishment? Typify a certainty of people hating you that you know to be the case but refuse to reflect on.

If you've accepted it then you'd have no issue walking out into public and yelling "I, user von anonson regularly beat my dick to loli and I am not ashamed!"
Is this the case?

danska
my parents my job my earthly possessions, that's all there is. and only the cliche stands, ill at least try and outlive my parents, they don't deserve burying me

canonically, it makes you comatose

Things you’ll soon lose.

I mean he isn’t wrong

Whoever has glowing yellow eyes is the shadow.

stop posting adachi
you have a job to do

>ill at least try and outlive my parents
I'm at that stage too but it's getting harder. I really do wonder whether it'd be easier for them to have a few rough years without me than to learn to resent me over the decades that remain

I don't remember Chie calling Yukikko a useless whore that she's only friends with because Yukikko is dependant on her.

If you’re suicidal your shadow would be the one that wants to live.
You ever hear about all those people that jump off bridges or other shit and survive, and they all say they realized as they were falling they really didn’t want to die?
Your shadow is the part of yourself you push away and hide from everyone else, sometimes even yourself. It’s the part of your soul that’s hidden, your depths

Reminder that in Persona, your Shadow is not "who you really are", it's who you don't want to be. Your dark side, and everything you consider "evil" and suppress. Shadows do not represent who people are, that's why everyone rejects their Shadows if they're not prepared. Your Shadow would say something so incomprehensibly evil to you that you won't even recognize yourself in it unless you know the deal.

As long as it isn't immediate family. I don't feel like explaining internet lingo and all of these games just have you in front of friends.

post the sauce

>in Persona
It's literally just Jungian psych. Persona hasn't coined these ideas.

Aside from the calling her a useless whore part, she literally explains the rest of that to Yukiko's face.

If you worry about it being your immediate family then yeah, your shadow is going to fuck you.

I did not say they coined these ideas. They even have a Persona 3-inspired info channel in P4G that explains all of it with all the references.

>be me, nice, socially awkward shut in
>want to be a teacher, always have to act on my best behavior
>never want to go out in public anyways because I’m autistic and self clocked about it
>always angry, grew up and learned to deal with it but on bad days I just want to beat the shit out of something
>generally resent normies for being retarded like most of Zig Forums
>shadow is a raging asshole that doesn’t give a fuck about others, throws out redpills left and right, probably fucks and drinks or something idk

bullshit take. everything in life is just a waste of time. hobbies, romances, families. I
it's all just so the evolved monkey brain is occupied and doesn't think how it all don't matter. a t a l l. waste of time with a ribbon attached

>self-conscious

This is genuinely what the reaction to Chie should've been, dominatrix bananahead jokes aside.

That’s how you react to your own shadow? You’re dying, alright. He’s taking your place. Life doesn’t inherently have meaning, sure, but life is about giving itself meaning. Nothing matters to anyone but you from your perspective, so apply yourself to something you care about

Eat dicks Mitsuo. You'll never get a social link.

Not that user but you do realize your monkey brain still craves all this in spite of you "understanding" all this right?
You're trying to fight the basics of life as if that somehow enlightens you.

>Why yes, I do like dressing up as a girl and taking massive 10 inch cocks up my anal cavity. How did you know?
>You have obtained the face to overcome life's hardships. Big Gay AidsWrangler.

Just accept your shadow and save yourself the embarrassment of having other people see your shadow's true form

>want to be a teacher
No you don’t, shittiest profession ever full of psycho fucks. Become a private tutor and cut all the shit.
T. Former teacher now tutor

If you're suicidal, your Shadow will tell you that you're an attention whore who wallows in their own misery and wants people to feel sorry for you because you're fucking pathetic and you need others to validate your existence.

>Yosuke laughing nervously as he keeps his Shadow to himself

Oh yeah? Well your shadow gave me a blowjob, Yukiko.

Naoto is a girl, you faggot.
