Jung's theorizes that the personality forms, in part, after a crisis, as an individual moves from extroversion to introversion in aging. Living alone is a situation that is the result of many factors coalescing in an individual's life. A meager income can be a result of the individual's life work and other individual choices and events. His personality can affect how an individual deals with pain, and the pain can affect an individual's personality. However, whether the pain is old or new is not known; thus a determination cannot be made.
