The individual with a wound of injustice is convinced they are a loving person whom no one understands.
However, in their relationships, they appear cold, distant, and serious—the demeanor of someone who lacks feelings.
Therefore, they control their energy to avoid contact with others.
Furthermore, they detest group settings and avoid them.
They are terrified of gatherings where people let loose, hug, have fun, and laugh.
Just as they also become tense at any expression of sadness. “Don’t come near me, don’t touch me.”
They don’t care much for social interaction; quite the opposite, they prefer to isolate themselves and do things alone—that is, they do everything they can to avoid getting involved.
They usually maintain a physical and psychological distance when in contact with others.
A person with the wound of injustice, if they have to interact, whether male or female, prefers to relate to men.
This is because, generally speaking, women are more sensitive than men, who are traditionally raised to be more insensitive. This is likely the origin of the widespread saying, “Men don’t cry.”
As a consequence of having lost touch with their inner world, they find it impossible to live intensely. They are unable to connect with others.
How can they be affectionate if they live in denial of their inner world?
How can they be loving if they are only driven by self-interest and ambition?
Ambition has no relation to love. To be able to love, one must first accept oneself and behave authentically; then love will spring from within and flow outward.
Certainly, what attracts them most is competitiveness, which is why they constantly compete, even when practicing their most intimate relationships.
