Yeaaah same and I just gotta let down by someone recently too even after they said yes to a date lmao but I’d like to believe maybe this is a sign pointing us in the right direction...
Yes, well said. His passion, I believe, results from him realizing that he's still learning himself. He never gets to a point where he feels his current understanding represents reality with 100% accuracy. Some professors (and people in general) think they already learned all they need to know which leads to dogmatism which then leads to Animus possession.
Hit home when Peterson started talking about being betrayed by an intimate partner. Immediately questioned if the past was real, and what is real in the present. I questioned my whole past, present, and future. It's a terrible feeling that cannot be described. I'm just glad that I got over it.
@Blan_K don’t be a victim of the past. work on yourself and building character. see at as a lesson.

@Blan_K I'm looking for this answer, too. I'm currently in a similar situation to what you describe. Peterson says in this video that redemption comes when we understand the moral of our life's story. When we find out the truth, and why things happened the way they did. But what if it is impossible to find out what happened? What if you cannot get the answers, to learn what your mistakes were? The truth is easily concealed, or distorted, or withdrawn. What happens then? My guess as of right now is that you (1) assume what the truth may have been, and base your restructuring of your world upon this assumption. This makes me wonder what kind of person you must become to be capable of such determination and self-deception. The other option, of course, would be to (2) try to ignore the gaping holes in your knowledge of the past. With this, however, you learn nothing, so redemption may never come. This is a serious and complicated question, and I am afraid I do not have the capacity to answer it.

@Blan_K I have a problem with not caring. To me, everything in life is a system of inputs and outputs. If you can model the problem, you can predict the outcome with good certainty. But if you cannot model the problem, or if suddenly the model collapses, you are lost. There is no more certainty. I have to care, because if I don't, I can't piece together the truths in my life. If I'm left wondering for the rest of my life "Why did she leave?" and "Did she leave me for somebody better?", then I can't model the past anymore. Suddenly what I thought was truth is not, and I have no way of grasping it. The fact I don't know why she left also means I'll never learn from it. We were supposed to help each other grow and work on each other, but without the partner's insight, you are doomed. I thought we were working on making ourselves happy. I was the happiest I'd ever been, because I thought I had her by my side. We helped each other through so much -- When I met her, she was suicidal, she cut herself, she had anxiety, didn't want to meet people. Now, she shines so brightly it's incredible. She wears dresses, she is finally proud of who she is. I was there through all of that. She was my pride and joy, but apparently I was not hers. And it hurts. It hurts knowing I bet everything I had on her, I helped and saw her grow, and in just one day I lost this bet, and nothing makes sense anymore.

@Blan_K Thank you for the kind words, brother. With time, I hope I can accept the hole in my knowledge -- though so far in life, most of these holes were simple enough to patch up, as learning is one of my greatest virtues. This will be a new challenge, an opportunity for new growth. I don't fear thinking I wasn't good enough, but I know I wasn't putting in 100%. At the end, because of what had been happening in my professional life and education, I was stressed, and couldn't deliver more than say 50%, but I know that I was there for her with all my available capacity. I do not blame myself, and I do not blame her, for not always being there for me when I needed her. I do, however, regret the knowledge that from now and until forever, my mind will be plagued with the idea that things could have gone so well. The life I expected to live is now gone, and my reaction to THAT is what I truly fear. Perhaps my growth was stumped in this relationship, because I wanted to see her grow. Perhaps I had become too passive in my own development. Whatever it is that disenchanted her, I cannot say. But this talk with you has given me resolve: This is but a stepping stone to my growth. Godspeed man. If you ever wish to speak, know that my heart and mind are open.
@@lewislister7720 i think you need to be in touch with the present moment. Otherwise you see your life through the eyes of the past. Emotions are the endproduct of past experiences and when you thinking the same thoughts, performing the same actions, living by the same emotions then you are connected to your familiar emotions , means your recreating the same life .
When I was married, at the beginning, my wife used to treat me like I’m some kind of a pagan god. She used to burn things for me……breakfast, lunch, dinner. I don’t think she was trying to please me…
"The purpose of memory is to prepare you for the future". I had never questioned why we have memories before, they just sort of happened. This line both posed the question and provided the answer in one. Now I understand the essence of why we have memories and what learning is about.
@@S1mcard May be he just realized the depth of unconscious learning. Our mind stores a lot of information and sometimes one doesn't question why that memory keeps repeating. It's different than just saying "I'm practicing/learning this skill so tomorrow I can be better at it".
I've found some people will not "like" you out of resentment or jealousy. I used to never be a classist. But, then, when I started doing very well, I found I could only talk about my life around people who were doing equally well. It was quite disappointing to learn this. I've always had the capacity to be happy for others success, regardless of where I was at. I would still be happy for others, if anything, to just learn from their stories, so I could try to pattern my choices after theirs. It was disheartening to learn that others I cared about had difficulty being happy for me. And I could not be myself to protect their egos.
“So you’re healed, when you get to the point where you’ve grasped the bloody moral of the story.” This is why I keep a Google Keep note to write down “lessons” of frustrating events that happen in life. Those reflections of what you did (even if the events that occurred weren’t ultimately your entire fault) bring immediate relief to a mind that is rattled by an upsetting situation that happened.
Do you really need to write it down? Just go over the chain of events and signs that were there and take stock of it. It'll come back to you later in a similar situation and you can use it as a basis for what to expect.
Guys and girl should learn to have a backbone. Physical attraction always helps start a relationship but character, and if both really want to commit determines if their relationship will last.
@@de7904 I dont mean anxiety for leaving ur moms house. I mean females forward think more than men, if a female feels shes going to spend next year, ..or next week alone she while develop anxiety over it as a fear of not knowing when its going to end.

It must be insanely difficult to be jordan peterson. You know he's lived through every type of trauma he touches on and he took the time to make the chaos intelligible enough to teach it. Respect
That's also why you should take his vision of the world with a grain of salt: there's truth in it but it's also the representation of life filtered through his own experiences and obsessions. And unfortunately sometimes it is a bit overlysimplified or at least one sided
@@caralho5237 well at the beginning I was seduced by his charming personality and bought his book. Then I started noticing that his way of arguing doesn't leave much room for any debate, he seems to deliver truths rather than exposing a point of view, and you can tell it from his body language, the words he chooses, the style etc. He's kind of... Aggressive in exposing his theories and he's relying a lot on his charisma and his brilliant intellect but often the outcome of his reasoning sounded a bit.. forced to me ..like the famous lobster example: that looked to me like a random fact in the animal kingdom was used to justify a theory on human behaviour. Or like the way he denies that there has been an historic oppression of females by the opposite sex: I agree that the way the left wants to pursue sex equality is stupid and inefficient but we can't deny facts like women wer denied the right to vote or the way radical islam treats women as inferior beings.. His book (12 rules) disappointed me a bit as I felt he is trying to present his view of the world as some kind of universal truth. He seems to me to be very pesimistic about human nature and he tries to convince the reader that life is mostly about suffering. For example he quotes the Bible a lot as a source of archetypes , and in doing so he forgets that that is just the product of one of the many different cultures that mankind has created over the centuries (surely if he analyzed the Bagavad Gita he couldn't have reached the same conclusions).. In 2 words: he's very biased. He grew up with an obsession for the evil that humans hide inside and he decided he found the explanation but it just seems to me he s trying to convince other people (and maybe himself) that his opinion is the only acceptable one. I don't know how to explain it but... Eric Fromm and other humanistic psychologists tried to explain events like the Holocaust in a much more objective, accurate and unbiased perspective. Then I dug into his personal life. I usually keep one's personal life separated from their work/message, but in this case I couldn't as JP tends to behave and present himself as a guru or a role model, even if he denies it. And I found out much inconsistency. He developed an addiction to anti depressants which is totally human and understandable but it sounds the opposite of his "stand with your shoulder straight" attitude. He went on a 100% carnivore diet and he publicly advertised its supposed benefits on a podcast : I mean.. he's a doctor and this is a really dangerous claim. He also kept involving his daughter in his public appearances and he supported, or at least didn't try to stop, her "Lion Diet" scam (basically she's selling advice/psychological support on how to be a 100% carnivore. Look it up, it's pretty weird). And a bunch of other stories from his colleagues as well, about his ... delusions of grandeur. Again, I hate using personal issues to discredit the thought of a person but in this case I see a preacher more than a scientist so I think he should live up the messages he delivers. Long post I know and English is not my native language so I apologize for the mistakes.
This made me relive the feeling I had when I relized my ex and I were done. In a positive light it meant I was free. And in a negative light it meant I had to find meaning in it to be at peace. Both are important and it was so well descibed it brought that feeling back. Incredible
Well, he inspired a new generation of students who spent thousands of dollars to hear what they could have learned through experience or by reading his book. University should not teach about gender, women, and sex, it should be to teach about jobs.
@@jacqueslee2592 while I hear what you are saying I definitely think there is a place in this world for what he teaches. I've learned many things from listening to his videos. I find this much more important than any other school subject in my daily life. Critical thinking is not something many people practice and I would rather this be a gen ed class than some other garbage they make mandatory for students
Our world and humanity as a whole would be so much better if all of our teachers taught with such passion and in such a way that made a person interested and want to learn like Jordan does.
This speaks to me on whole other level, I've been extremely frustrated to lose opportunity's with people I've liked and lost them due to my own issues that weren't letting me be. I was to afraid of this or that or constantly thought about the idea of losing them as soon as they started to like me. It's discouraging sometimes cause when it happens over and over and over again it starts to make you bitter inside and make every bit of improvement you've thought you made seem as though it was completely futile. The first step though is too realize that you have issues though and work them through but the hardest part is to fix it, for me it's at least the idea of losing someone so dear to me and being left alone once more. I'm still somewhat in a stagnated state but I'm doing my best to work on myself, it's the worse when sometimes my mind tells me more no matter how hard I try I'll fail nonmatter what. Then I have to fight it and think "no fuck that, I'm going to give it my all no matter how many times I fail. you just have to believe in yourself.
I think you, myself (and a lot of men) put too much pressure on ourselves to be absolutely perfect before we enter into a relationship with a woman. No one is ever going to be perfect. Even long successful marriages are not perfect, but you need to get out there and do it because that's how you'll learn, and you learn best when you are moving. You can't change gears when you are not moving. Also, they may be afraid of the relationship falling apart shortly after beginning, but you'll never know unless you try. And whatever happens it will be an experience you learn so much from.
@@imalamboman12 love your convo guys. true, many are too harsh to themselves, when in reality women like to date "projects". women can see potential far better in men than men can do by themselves. but when you date and find a significant other, so many start to stagnate, to lose themselves and their purpose. until you get heartbroken and wonder where it all went wrong. and then you start over again, you become better and date better women. it's a cruel cycle and probably will always be. like in the last minute of this vid. you heal to become a better person, you make sacrifices in the present so you get a better outcome in the future. and honestly as dull and obscure it sounds, maybe that's all that it is to life, same from an evolutionary point of view. You try to get better, and that's where human beings are imo the happiest and most content, when you grow. You accept the pain and suffering, the sacrifices, and start to love them the same you love the fruits of your labor and your hard work, or you get bitter and feel resentment for the rest of your days.
Like Peterson's lectures. To build something new, you must first make room by tearing out something old. All buildings start under the ground and work up. When you find your world torn down and you are in a hole, that is the best time to start a new foundation. Rebuilding lives is the hardest construction job on earth. Giving up just leaves you in a hole 6 feet down. It is the challenges in life that define us. The winner is the one ready to go the long haul despite setbacks and difficulty. "Trust no one and 'no one' will let you down." Machiavelli. A life without trust is a lonely soul. We all must trust someone some days. If you are trustworthy, people will trust you. But even the best of us make mistakes. The smarter of us sometimes make the worse ones. Their actions effect more people. Sometimes thinking about it will paralyze you. We need each other to move forward to a better life.
@@justjordan6186 Thanks, be the change you want to see. I got this from other people , because nothing is new under the sun when it comes to these things. Blessings.
A lot of "mental healthcare" is just unnecessary pills and pharmaceutical prescriptions so, this may be a double benefit. Unless you actually do need the pills. Then maybe it would help. But I think most don't. Especially most people who struggle with depression. That depression comes about for most because of their living situation and their life-style. It's a rarer few who actually have major chemical imbalances not associated with life style or environment.
Thank God for RU-vid, my mental health was falling apart, but luckily found this man, Alan Watts, Eckhart Tolle and the channel School of life, they are changing my view on life 🙂
You can go to a county hospital that basically provides free healthcare, you can go to free local support groups for depression and bipolar etc, cognitive exercises help , herbal and nootropics supplements can help
@@juliosanchez95Simple ideas are really not "simple", they are just a simplified version of a more complex and large process. Just like being born, or simply being "alive". Humans often reflect on something so common and "simple" as being alive, and yet, you're stupid enough to ignore it. I hope you grow up from this salty self you've turned yourself into.
Starting at 8:34 -> the story of my life after my 11 year relationship/marriage collapse. Here still trying to collect and sort out the pieces. I pray to God I'm able to find someone that could help me process the chaos of my life. I wish Dr Peterson was my psychologist. This man is legend and pure wisdom. Your videos have really helped me pulled through this last year
hey no matter how far we are on the Earth, I feel you cos Id experienced smth similar and trying to recover aswell. The main thing for us is the will, we still fighting for the better tomorrow for ourselves because we want to be happy, so you are strong enough to process it if you realise that there are things that should be changed. sry if this message is messy, just trying to express my thoughts and emotions and my english is not perfect, I hope u feel good the year after your comment
Agatha the truth is you have to love yourself and your spiritual higher power who loves you and anyone else you think you should. Everything else is "stuff".
Sacrifice, dealing with chaos, dealing with malevolence, handling failure & rejection, being judged in public, dealing with the fear of an unknown future, facing your worst fears, all things I & know my son learned growing up doing an intense realistic martial art. Or you can do years of therapy & attend many semesters in Dr Peterson's classes.
The intensity with which he teaches is his conviction manifesting itself in making people realize why they should sacrifice their own pleasures so that they can leave a better world behind for the coming generations to live in
How does he understand the depth of pain so accurately that he has probably never experienced, its mind blowing to think someone could truly understand it the way he does. I never knew that pain could exist until my entire being was ingulfed in it. I truly almost died of a broken heart but thankfully I lived and dont even know that person that died within me for tge better.
Hes been through a lot, but also listening to 1000s of people problems you can see patterns in behaviour and learn from them. Jordans intellect is no accident. The man has studied the human mind all his life, and continues to every day
Me: Clicks video titled "Women always reject these men" Jordan Peterson: "There's a crocodile with a clock it its stomach." Me: "I see. My problems all makes sense now."
@@elmateo77 Captain Hook, Peter Pan's arch nemesis, gets chased by a crocodile with a clock in its belly. It's a metaphor for an angry middle aged man who's held captive by a job that eats all his time. Peter Pan lives in Never Land and leads the Legion of Lost Boys, because he sees these crocodiles hunt Captain Hook and thinks to himself: "See! This is why I never want to grow up!"
@@StarBadger07 I thought it was pretty clear. Women reject men that are riddled with problems in his personality that he's ignoring. Whether it's having poor social skills, self-negligence or having low self-esteem. Especially when you try to fake any of these things, it comes of wrong. I think the best way to get to know yourself is by writing down a journal at the end of the day and walk through the situations objectively. Then look at the situation from an outside perspective. When you do this for a while, you will see patterns. Patterns of good social interactions and bad ones. But in regards to social skills, it's the easiest way to improve your relationships. Most people suck at it, so it's not weird that interactions can differ vastly. It's usually as easy as showing a bit of interest. Say hi and ask how they are. Don't pretend to pay attention but be active in the conversation. Don't make assumptions, but turn your assumptions into questions. You know, be the person you think other people should be. Be strict to yourself and tolerant to others.
@unbanthis 2 If you're not willing to improve, you're already dead. If your point is to keep true to oneself and one's path, you're onto something. But who the hell respects someone who's completely ignorant and not admitting a mistake courageously and with dignity, instead of simping? If you adore people who are narcissistic, there's something wrong.
The reality is that some people 'trying to be better' still aren't ever going to achieve the desired outcome, and that's just 'nature' as Mr. Peterson puts it. However that does not stop you from finding your purpose in life and fulfilling it. Let the universe decide the rest. If it's meant for you, it will happen.
Altho Aristotle's audience were most probably not thinking of their next shift at Starbucks, or who to go out with from Tinder. or Grindr. Guy first row on right side is so obvious about being bored, and not paying attention.
I have a narcissistic mother and an ex wife who was allot like her (Freud winks). As a result of surviving those two black holes, I give approx 0 damn's what any woman thinks about me at this point and as a result I found myself having a far better relationship with the women I did meet going forward because I didn't have an attachment to the outcome of our interactions, meaning I was far more genuine and open leading to the great 13 year partnership I have been in with the wonderful woman in my life that actually likes me for who I am and not just for what I can do for her. Always be genuine with new people so you attract the right ones and do not compromise your values just to please anybody else ever , regardless of gender or desire. Patience + passionate disinterest became my go to mindset for most problems in life based on how well it has worked out with my partner and has helped me in so many other parts of my life as well. Not caring what others think (while still being polite and affable of course) draws people to you like a strong magnet...life is just so odd sometimes 😂. The more you want the less you get, the less you get the more you have. Weird! Best of luck out there everyone, you got this.
His last portion of this lecture dealt with betrayal of a partner but it also perfectly hit women who are suddenly thrust into widowhood. I will watch this again and again.
the Bible says you can find a new partner... NOT IN THE MODERN SENSE LOL... Just that a relative lost his wife in a very tragic way, and in the midst of his extreme trial which lasted some years, he could find love again.
I would loove to actually be at a Jordon Peterson Lecture and sure i might stare at my computer screen occasionally becuase he has Big Brain ALL THE TIME and me only sometimes so he looses me now and again
The opposite of making sacrifices now to get a good payoff is even more fascinating because if you don't make any effort now, you will have to make sacrifices in the future.
True fact, if your not 100 percent dedicated to building your future, turning yourself into a machine life will have nothing nice to throw at you. Now if you're born moderate, the best thing you can hope for is to have little self awareness. Doing our very best is what we got to do. Layziness doesn't make happiness, only loneliness.
SUMMARY: "These men" = those who do not manifest any order in their actions, so that a woman (or any person) would consider him as possessing 2 characteristics. 1 Imposing will on chaotic time to imprint a chain of predictable consequences on it (clear goals) 2 providing a stable coherence, in order to guarantee a safe ambient to stay within (explicit INDEPENDENT means, I. E. No dependent on the casual occurrence of a particular mate, but independent, variable on all of them (adaptability) since the new ingredient of the mate decision, which, then, is translated into reciprocal, particular , explicit interest.)
Life will never change and never has. If your lazy, you won't be lucky either. Hard work plus more hard work, that's the name of the game. And anyone who says it ain't necessarily so is a liar or a fool. Naturally you might just sit on your arse all day when everybody else is trying hard but if you end up alone and bitter by the time your 40, you will known who is to blame.life today is just as hard as it was back then only with variations.
I think region is important too. Some places in the world continually beat people down with poverty and a near complete lack of work. Or, they have work options that pay so little that no amount of overtime could ever overcome their poverty. OR, you have jobs that physically or mentally destroy the workers within a handful of years. I think hard work is important, but it also matters WHAT type of work you do, and what it pays. If you don't have any particular skills to get paid more, aquire those skills. If the job is breaking you down, either adapt or get a different job. If there are no jobs, flee. Leave. Move somewhere else. Same in regions where the cost of living keeps you trapped in debt, find somewhere more affordable.
I hope those kids realize how lucky they were to of had Jordan as their professor. My god, when I went to college I couldn’t stay awake to save my own life.
Wow. Your command of the English language is as beautiful as the expression cellar door. Money well spent (we can surmise). “I hope THESE students realize JUST how fortunate they were to HAVE HAD Jordan as THEY’RE (jk) Professor. MY GOD! When or MY GOD; when I ATTENDED college (just because you WENT to college doesn’t tell us much. You obviously didn’t go there to grab a book on syntax) … attended college, I couldn’t stay awake to save MY LIFE” not my OWN life. So, basically what you’re saying is you were able to stay awake to SAVE THE LIVES OF OTHERS but NOT YOUR OWN OMFG
Why is it so important to be liked? I mean, you present yourself as yourself to people, you're truthful and open and up front, you don't steal from them or exploit them, or try to murder them spiritually or emotionally ot physically, and there you are. Maybe they will like you, maybe they won't. Why is it so important?
I think that really depends on the person's life experiences. If you grew up constantly belittled, or you never got praise/attention from loved ones, you might grow up seeking this kind of validation. At the end of the day, I think almost everyone likes to be praised or liked, but some people just really crave it.
Peterson would say why are you sure that yourself is good enough? And if you arent good enough why wouldn't you try to be better. And I think you are in for a rude awakening if you think you can go through life alone and be happy. The loneliness epidemic in the west causing depression and suicide at high rates is proof of that.
@@alexhoward1884 I disagree, because to be alone in the relationship department is not a socially approved way of life. You could have a virgin friend who gets a girlfriend for the first time in his life and after a couple months he and his woman can spend some time with you and they'll want you to be in a relationship just because they are. In contrast, a single red pill man will encourage you to be single because of the dramas of relationships. The truth is, you don't know what you are talking about and life is nothing other than perspective and reactions. The majority of Humans crave attention and "love" but so do they crave Carbohydrates and Sugars, Caffienes and Sex. Just because a large number of the population decides THEY want to be a certain way "to be happy" doesn't mean You should copy them because as you said, Society is f*cked. Suicide rates are higher than ever as well as obesity, depression and anxiety- Society is the one to blame, because they're the ones encouraging and condoning vices and weak mentalities to make themselves feel better when they don't do enough. OF COURSE The human has it's own hormones and nature makes us men want to spread out DNA the most we can, and nature tells women to be attracted to The Most Succesful man around because it's an animalistic thing- hormones..sex.. But I have yet to meet a little 6 year old boy or a 25 year old man who tells me "I can't wait to grow up and be with the same woman for my entire life" because that is not in the mans nature. LOVE makes us think, say and do things but it's not in our nature, just another Vice.
Many people define their self worth by how valuable others find them, I really admire people, I love people for the talents they grow and wisdom they share, that is so validating, i can only speak for myself but, if others don't like me or appreciate me I must not be contributing positively to others experience of life, many people who want to be liked have often relied on others to held find themselves or help make them feel whole again by showing them new perspectives.
Because you're own hormonal balance and emotional state are greatly affected by your subconscious perspective of your relative position in the dominance hierarchies you occupy.
@@joerivasiv1090 maybe from your experience of woman you’ve associated with, you cannot generalize a gender, as much as you may want too, it’s impossible.

Kristine That’s pretty pessimistic. Have you ever considered that because of the large range of topics addressed, the uploaded doesn’t really know what to title the video?
The titles are misleading because their purpose is not to represent the content of the video, but to convince as many people as possible to click on the video and gain views. It's called clickbaiting
It's because you don't understand the psychology behind click bait, people gravitate towards controversy, if it was a title the was mundane you wouldn't even pay attention to it
That lecture piece was massive, engaging, and remarkably useful as an insight into the individual psyche and the root cause of the most devastating aspects of group dynamics. I wonder to what extent the students find this piece similarly valuable.

Some say If you want deam person with certain qualities and character, first you have to become such person....Be decent, nice have sense of humor so you will attract person with such qualities.... and also they say an important thing for a new relationship or also career is vulnerability because vulnerable people are open to opportunities and that vulnerability is important for being a good leader, empathic leader to have an open mind.
@@alaalfa8839 exactly, there will always be compromises, but if you have the caliber to attract other high caliber people, you wont need to compromise too much. Trying to find your "perfect one" is a waste of time, better to strive to become the perfect one and attract people of the same caliber.
You want to make sure you’re at your best you can be when you meet a person you want to peruse. The last thing you want to do is be depressed, lazy, and out of shape/passion on the day you meet someone you want to peruse.

I could listen and would love to have a conversation with a mind like this. He's able to explain experiences I've been having most of my life. The one saying I've learned to hold above all in life has been "Some times in life you need to realize a poor investment and simply cut your losses." That goes for people too. You can exercise this once you have been alone, learning and understanding yourself. You cannot understand others or relate to them until you learn yourself first.
I love making a better future, I know that I'm sacrificing the present, but it doesn't feel like a sacrifice, the sense of moving forward towards a goal makes life meaningful and I become happy, and it's not like the sacrifice is pointless, because it pays off, everyday get the payback from the yesterday I sacrificed, and so it becomes something valuable
My dog has figured out the sacrifice the present to improve the future. This video just made it occur to me. We cook him dinner, like real food. Cooper eats his food instantly. Max leaves his for hours, eats, shits, plays with Cooper and goes to bed a happy dog!! Never thought I’d have a dog more responsible than I am 😂
If you're basing your life choices around how women respond to them, then prepare yourself for a very whimsical lifestyle, gentlemen. I recommend lifting weights wearing tight shirts, and smelling healthy.
Wow lol.that's a real blunt way to describe my younger years. Lol constantly rejected and pissed off. Nature was telling me I was inadequate and not worth the trouble of reproducing hahah. Savage.
Guess some are just not meant to reproduce. I mean, why continue something bad? I'm one of these people. I feel sorry for myself every now and then but soon after I just remind myself that maybe its for the best.
Nature telling you to get your shit together.... and then you realize it was worth the pain and growth to become the best version of yourself ... the version someone wants to reproduce with
@@GreedAndSelfishness lol man that's fucked up not gonna lie. but no matter what you think of yourself, everyone is worthy of love. I bet there are some women who'd sacrifice so much just to suck you off, but you probably won't even look at them because society, porn and tik tok got us fucked up. if you realize that you're not good enough, trust me, you're intellectual far ahead of most people and aware. to fix a problem you first need to recognize it. now it's up to you to fix it and live the life you've always dreamed of or continue to live in selfpitty. and no one can fight this war for you except yourself. life's cruel and it sucks, you either make it your b*tch or you stay one yourself.
If you lack the courage, you are going to get friendzoned. Always make sure your intentions are clear with the women you want. (disclaimer) You can only do so if you are confident about what you are bringing to the table.
Everyone who just clicked on a video and then complains about the randomness of RU-vid algorithm in the comments is just dumb. You clicked the video so it worked
Eastafrican people traditionally expected men to be warriors from late teens to mid or late 20s, they became fathers and husbands and tradesmen until 40s when they became village councillors, older men became wise elders or old men who just stepped aside to let younger men runn families and councils and spent their time drinking beer . Or so i read in national geography.
If we were, in fact, healed by having figured out what went wrong and ensuring that it would not happen again, then we would rarely be healed. Escaping vulnerability typically carries a terrible price tag, no matter how desperate we are to do it. We usually get to a place where we _think_ we know the whole story of what happened and why, or someone like Jordan working with us thinks he or she knows it, but in my experience as an old person, our declarations and certainties, or declared uncertainties, as our final conclusions to act on, rarely prove to be the entire, accurate story in long-term retrospect. I have watched people in great difficulties choose alienation in recent decades more than ever, as a result of betrayals and deep disappointments of all kinds, and while we assure ourselves and everyone around us of how certain we are of our knowledge and our hard choice, maybe even how proud we are of ourselves for making it and maintaining it, behind the scenes its permanence can cement our disappointments and our anguish--freezing them in time and place behind the wall of years--rather than achieving the best resolution that might have been possible with more work, more patience, more watching, and better communication (even through a third party if needed). Long-term outcomes really matter, especially when those around us suffer from the poor ones as well (such as our children) when they are not their fault, no matter how many coats of veneer we may try to cover them with.
John E you just hope one person is listening intently It strikes me that a lot of students go to college to go through the motions and because it appears the only route to a worthwhile career Its also the worst time to learn when hormones are going wild I dunno.
Disengaged? Yes it would appear so. TBH I’m not sure how I would have reacted to all this wisdom at their age. At that age perhaps they don’t have the points of reference to process it.
This man says so many words so quickly to portray concepts that i have dificulty imagining. Ill leave it to my subconscious to make sense of it and itll report back with meaning at some point i assume
Watching the students in the video: every one of them staring into a laptop screen as if typing notes will capture the essense of Dr Peterson's discourse. WE are the ones watching and learning, now, on youtube. We can pause. We can digest. We can resume playback when we are ready. The density of insight from Dr Peterson is overwhelming for most mortals without these luxuries of control. THANKS TO WHOEVER FILMED THESE LECTURES FOR THE BENEFIT OF HUMANITY.
I'm in a weird situation where I've rejected women for a long time because I hated the dishonesty, manipulation and social agony relationships caused my friends of both sexes at my age. Plus I guess that while I was a pretty smooth talker and doer I was a bit insecure in my sexuality too. But this has led to some terrible issues later in life where I've had too few relationships and not enough oppurtunities to find someone I truly love. Though I really wish I had developed a relationship the way Peterson did, with someone at like the age of 8, based on true mutual trust and like childish naievity.
@@alternativestoaa9288 Not really. People should live and make mistakes when they are young rather than follow lofty ideals and miss out on gaining experience. Im more insecure and probably less happy than had I just taken the rollercoaster most do, even though I kinda feign self confidence in most cases.
@@alternativestoaa9288 Ah yeah. Though there is a flip side, make too bad of a mistake and get stuck with a child you dont want, a debt or a prison sentence.
if you treat your life like everything has a formula and needs to be calculated, watch as nothing in it goes right. You just have to get out there and not overthink everything, there isn't a one size fits all in life. Just like with anything, what some women will like, others don't. You can't predict life or people. Just try things, live and learn. You'll be much happier and confident, even if you fail, because you tried and are living your life. There's no "what ifs" or scary mysteries to solve, you've seen the results, you've grown, and you're on to new and better things.
It's funny to me that here and in a lot of other places there is issues with being short staffed or worker shortage. I tried providing an explanation once that when I was trying just two years ago I never heard back from anyone and yet "people just don't want to work" and I'm like cause it's not worth it lol
Allowing things to magnifi to a point of personal kaos then facing its reality is a point of inner reflection that can really change you. Its the next chance of living a better life. Your choice... its your ticket, take the ride.
This is absolutely true. I would add however, a caution, to be honest with yourself but also compassionate. The common denominator may be something or even someone you never thought to look at. If you are to change your life, do so Iin small increments. Be willing to do the hard work, but don't try to shoulder the blame of the world... A good therapist (which I am not) will know the difference
These should just have a date and time, because the name on the video doesn't tell anyone shit. Also, I haven't ever heard this man say something that wasn't worth hearing.
Almost all of the sacrifices I've ever made have never paid off into anything. So I've found myself mostly seeking immediate gratification in the moment for everything I do.
9:00 is the point that Doctor Peterson described exactly what happened to my through my last 2 years...I feel a lot better now that I believe I know the answer that will make me trust my self and women again... ( or at least will solve a big part of the issue ), This also gave me a lot of hope, because the confusion and the problem seems unsolvable most of the time, which comforts me. Thank you Doctor Peterson! and thanks to the person who uploaded this.
@@ghani3952 I hope you three; the guy who commented, the second guy who replied and you to have everything you want back in your lives. I truly mean it. I hope the best for you all and good luck in your lives, don't worry we're here for you all. ❤️🙏
People need to focus on self improvement as much as they can and ask themselves how they can be better. Try to repair/fix whatever issue is causing your problems as best as you can
I literally will listen to any of his lectures doesn’t matter what it’s about. He’s just so charismatic and passionate about his teachings. I don’t always agree with everything but man is he right majority.
If masculinity and mastery are things of interest to you, I invite you to use the resources on the Mastery Order Channel and challenge yourself with some ideas about manhood to become the kind of man you would admire. We can only better ourselves together, as men among men, so I invite you to use what I share and, of course, share your own opinions so that others can benefit from them as well. Looking forward to your points of view. All the best to you!
These are all fantastic so far. What a treasure, this presentation of information, dusting off the dormant things we know about ourselves almost forgotten. Humanity, wake up.
