Just a little recapitulation here.
When I was a child, I was extremely sensitive. I cried a lot and couldn't even watch tv because I cried everytime someone got hurt, even though it was not real.
My father was a Captain in the Air Force. He didn't like my sensitivity and crying. He began making fun of me everytime I cried. To some degree he was right, a person can't be crying all the time, but he really clamped down on me and made me stop crying altogether.
My mother was also extremely sensitive, but my father allowed it because she was a woman. What he didn't understand is that there is a powerful psychic sensitivity running through my Mother's family that I inherited. My Grandmother had psychic experiences that were written about in newspapers.
Anyway, this whole anima/animus thing is about me recapturing some of that feminine sensitivity. I don't want to be a woman, I love being a man. I just want my sensitivity restored to its natural state.
