I have this ring tone I can’t help to watch this amazing man and the nicest guy ever dancing. Lolololol. I love the white tee and sweats he looks like my son. How the hell did u stay who u truly were inside being famous didn’t change u thsts what I admire u do much plus ur Gorgeous ❤🎉😊
I've been doing the bare minimum at work my whole career. 15 years. Banking, sales, etc. I only put 100 percent effort into myself and my hobbies. Not work.
What utter bullshit. We have plenty of data showing that children raised without fathers do just fine. But what we actually know shortens children's telomeres is chronic stress, such as when their parents aren't getting along. So if you're "staying together for the children". Don't. Just don't. Get the hell out. No man is worth shortening your child's life.
What about girls that have a Father that was neglectful & verbally and mentally abusive, a Sociopath that lack's any connection to them. Then what happens in that case.
That would be an extreme case, JP is talking about generalities like 80% of boys raised without a father will either; spend most of their life in prison, spend most of their life addicted to drugs or die young. Edit: the extreme in this case would be the fraction of the 20% that live long and productive lives.
@@gadzooks5541 yes I get that, I'm highly intelligent thank you. And P. S. I have lived a long life thus far and managed to defy impossible odds, kept my sanity & have a good head on my shoulders. I just wanted the poster of this video short to do one on this particular scenario.
I don't know if this is accurate. I started my period at 11 years old and my dad and I were very very close and nobody else in my family started their period that early and my dad could not have cared less about them. Very peculiar, that.
Well these men need to step up then dont they???? Listen, men have been getting away with being dead beat dads for so long society has adapted. Dont even get me started on the fathers that do stay in the same household as a family unit because the wifes/GFs are the true runners of the household. I digress.... Women dont need men anymore. Im not saying the few goods ones that legitimately help arent wanted but aside from that men are the extra burden thats not needed. Most men are man babies. Single moms are raising Doctors, Engineers and the NEXT President of the United States. So......enough of shaming single moms for doing a job they couldnt stay to do. Single moms are doing just fine on our own!
That was my question as well. Even if they consider me their father and I've been here since their birth, does them knowing their sperm donor walked out still have the same effect even though I'm a very attentive and loving father figure? Genuine curiosity.
@@z.j.elston4623 it's a great research question. I would speculate that having a solid father presence (you) in the home would negate the negative effects and consequences he mentioned.
@@DrLeifSmith do you feel that I am wrong? Because I don't. Isolation of a social animal is torture - it's gone so far that the longevity of males is dropping, suicide and drug addiction is through the roof... and they continue to push policies FURTHER isolating people from each other. Notice how suddenly everyone is an introvert? Hates the idea of being around others if they can help it? Read some comment sections. These people are sick - and I would love to be wrong, give me a different view point so I can change mine!
My mum has dementia I already mourn her loss every time I see her. Must remember not to chastise myself when she truly passes. She never really came home x
Clinical psychologists are doctors who specialize in mental illnesses & behavioral health. Clinical psychologists are actually able to prescribe psychotropic medications in 7 states (i.e., New Mexico, Louisiana, Illinois, Iowa, Idaho, Colorado, & Utah) as well as the Public Health Service, Indian Health Service, the U.S. military, & the U.S. territory of Guam. Psychotherapy is only but a small portion of what they do. They are clinical scientists who are able to diagnose patients; administer psychological assessments, intelligence tests, & personality tests. They receive extensive knowledge & practice in psychopathology via coursework, research, externships/practica, clinical internship, & postdoctoral fellowships.
yes, you are correct. This video was to educate the public about the general differences between the two. Your second paragraph is a perfect description of my training. 😀
@@DrLeifSmith I completely understand. I was placing this information here for those who wanted a little more information about the field, should they consider clinical psychology as a career, b/c so much has changed even in general differences.
I think people should not use such words "we need to talk" and then take days to discuss. It is very obvious for a person to get anxious in such a situation.
Hahaha this dork has zero appreciation for “little things”. Every rich guy does the same script. Instead they should say, hustle hard so your wife greets you in a mansion not that trailer home , wtf Dudes got a whole hour for breakfast daily? Bet a chef helps 😂
The female equivilant ofcourse is her ability to subtly fein ignorance and play coy.. to carefully exagerate her need to be cared for.. to create an environment that invites the man to step in and step up as her protector and provider. (without him realizing you are asking for these things) And, if she shows extra appreciation for that effort and showers him with love and thanks? OMG he will be sold on her almost immediately.
This makes sense, but it is so very hard to be mindful. I lived pretty in the moment for a long while, even though ive struggled with OCD and anxiety for years. Then my uncle passed unexpectedly almost a year back and it was like glass shattering. I am happily married now from around the same time that happened since my wife was also diagnosed with a permanent illness. Shes worried about me though cause i havent slept right since my uncle passed. And now my father has permanent damage to his hearing and its breaking my heart. I just want to make everything okay and im powerless. And yet i keep finding it so difficult to accept. My family and friends tell me just don't worry and its the hardest thing I've ever done i think Terrible sinking feeling in my chest every night. I try so hard to be self aware and its just not working. Just had to get this out. I feel awful for burdening my wife with all of my feelings.
thanks for the comment, and sorry to hear about your uncle and father. You're right, it's not easy to "just don't worry, " but you can work to worry less, and find a better balance over time so that your anxiety doesn't run your life.
I love BEING A THERAPIST!! Hooray! EVERY DAY I attentively LISTEN TO PEOPLE WITH THEIR serious PROBLEMS AND I JUST WANNA BE LIKE “keep your head up, it will get better.”
That happens on occasion. However, it doesnt happen every day, so try to work to manage your thinking better and dont assume the absolute worst all the time
So, to appreciate that men do hard labor and difficult jobs, Jordan is required to have done one of those jobs himself? How does that make sense at all?
I can't take this seriously, with this goon in the bottom of the video, popping in and out, signalling the REALLY important bits! The irony of the topic, and this silly man sliding in and out while it's being said 😅
