How can one know their own distinctive type?

What you condemn in others often reveals the very nature you are trying to hide within yourself; your repulsions are the keys to understanding your true type.

— Osho
According to Osho, you discover your type by reversing your attractions: what pulls you is usually the opposite of your nature; what you resist, condemn, or try to avoid reveals your own pattern. Life is paradoxical—opposites attract—so study your repulsions and moral crusades. The content you denounce (sex, money, worldliness) often signals your inner type. Recognize projections to know yourself.

To find who you are, look at what you strongly dislike or fight against—it often mirrors your true nature, while what you chase is usually the opposite.
