how do you self reflect without getting too lost in your own head?

so, jungian work emphasizes self exploration, shadow integration and individuation, right? but is there a point where deep reflection turns into self absorption or paralysis?

lately, I’ve been diving into my own psyche, trying to understand my patterns and wounds... but sometimes it feels like I’m losing myself in the process rather than becoming more whole. I once saw a picture that said "I think you guys might be thinking about yourself way too much" and it stuck with me.

when does introspection serve growth, and when does it become another ego trap? is there such thing as too much self reflection? how do you balance it all?

would love to hear your thoughts!
