However, his mother was more of a spiritualist, who was said to be able to communicate with spirits. The small village that Carl Yung grew up in was heavily influenced by religion and magic. Jung, himself, had a difficult time differentiating fantasy from reality. Yung was influenced early on by his parents. Growing up, Yung’s Mother was both physical and emotional ill.

Yung also believed that we are born with both the extroverted and introverted attitudes but, we have an inner tendency to favor one over the other.
