Manipulative people | Jordan Peterson 

Stay away from manipulative people. They only look out for themselves. You are nothing... they ( themselves and their immediate family) are all. They hear you when you speak, but they are never really listen; what they say, in their mind, is what is important! Its no use discussing any matter. You'll never have a valid peer-to-peer conversation with such a person. My advice, just talk about the weather with such people, and even then! They question anything you may say; they suck the life spirit from you!

The worst thing is when that happens in family, is worst

It feels so good to have my brain washed out with the wisdom presented here-thank you!!

It's important to stay away of selfish people (parents, friends, boss-es who only want to use you.

This happened my whole life 😢. My entire family and then I got engaged to a narcissistic fiance for 8 years. I just walked away 😢. I'm trying to heal and now one of my coworkers is trying do same thing my narcissistic fiance did. Thank God I realized before it got too far

They know exactly what they are doing I would say that is true. You can feel it.

Yes it's hurtful and disgusting..the lies, deception... that's why i value truth. stay true to yourself no matter what

You give someone enough power over you to see what they will do with it and if they do bad with it well it was power well spent

Love tells no lies. Love condones no liars. Love tells the truth with kindness.

learning to love and respect myself one step at a time, realizing in my late 20s its ok to create boundaries with people for my own growth and wellbeing.

I'm brave enough to admit that I'm scared to death that I'm one of those people. Not every detail matched my experiences but enough did to make me physically shutter. I must meet this man. If only to shake his hand.

I'm kind of going through this with a family member and I didn't realize they were truly like this until I basically got her hired at my job but the bad thing is it's super close family so i feel like I'm stuck between a rock and hard place because everyone else I feel doesn't see it but I do and it's like it started with some lies here and there like her lying about getting fired when in actuality she quit her other job (which if she thought it would gain her sympathy so id help her get a job like we're super close family id help her anyways like she didn't have to make up an elaborate lie ) and then I realized aww man this person is super gossipy too and she seems to (accidentally on purpose at times make out breaks time up with each other ) or like she'll be "watching" me at work or like the other day i was goin on lunch and someone dropped off some lunch for her at my front desk so i left it on the desk with a note for her and then i was goin up the stairs i heard someone behind me for some reason i knew it was her i acted like i didn't hear anyone behind me but i did it was like she was purposely walking soft to (i did this cus i noticed she didn't say hey whats im behind you or lets go to lunch but i stayed silent cus i wanted to see if she came around the corner then sure enough it was her when she finally came in its like she purposely delayed coming in the lunch room and acted surprised i was there when she knew i was there whole time cus she was behind me!!! its kinda creepy like wtf

You’re intelligent. With my husband, he does things, part of me wonders if it’s on purpose the other half wonder if it’s just a bad personality trait the other half wonders if maybe I’m just tripping. It’s a cycle of these 3 thoughts and I realize no he is in fact doing it. No he does not care. Maybe he doesn’t care because it has become him but at one point in time he knew it was wrong and he ignored it and did it anyways more his conscience is seared!

Manipulative liars are impeccable at feigning innocence. Never fall for the act, everything is a trap set up for you demise

Yeah that was my family. That’s why I have nothing to do with them.

I learnt the term that describes my boss - manipulative person 🙂

That's why I disagree of people saying that Love Hurts, when the truth is Lies does really hurt and not Love. It's the disappointment of the person's LIES they thought that it'll gives that same treatment to them is the cause of their pain, NOT LOVE EVERYONE, NOT LOVE!

It's tough when your father is manipulative person to your mother and you. He guilts and and humiliates me into submission since I was and infant. He loves deception and telling the rest of the family that he helps me and my mother with finances and emotional support. This is when he seems narcissistic in portraying himself as the hero and rescuer. He says I'm too sensitive, attacking him if I object to anything he says. To him, I'm manipulative and domineering if I say anything. He rules conversations and runs away when I logically contest any point at all. I'm tired of this. How do I defend without being an asshole? How do I define my boundaries, desires, and opinions without overstepping my place as his child? I'm just so tired.

Sir, thank you so much.

How does one get rid of a toxic person like this, if family keeps bringing them in? All they do is take, take, take.

Hard to blame them when they still don’t know what they don’t know. Saddest part is they can’t understand why you don’t care for their company and lord knows they won’t ask and if did and you told them the truth in the most loving ways they still can’t understand boss. A guy at work asked me who hurt me, I said do you want the whole list, cause I’ll have to go write it down, I don’t keep up with it but for starters, my mother, my father, my brother, my grandmother just for starters lol. This all comes because they know I’m real and earn my keep but don’t join in with all the reindeer games, all their childish bullshit……don’t need any dumb friends, thanks fellows wish you the best with your never growing up campaign

my ex manipulated me and lied to and micro cheated then dumped me, and the worst part is, she revealed all of that 6 months after the relationship was over. i have not been the same since, its been a year and a half and I can't forgive myself for being an idiot, I thought about revenge a lot, but I cant hurt her emotionally because I do not think she cares at all, lies and deceit are truly hurtful. I have not wished misfortune on someone before, but right now im wishing it.

He just described my mother to a tee!🎉😮

Fool a fool to catch a fool. And no more scapegoating me

This is so real

Well this explains a lot.

No one has the right to manipulate another. It is the ultimate act of arrogance for one to think they have the right to manipulate someone. Even God Himself does not violate one's free will by manipulating them. He gives us the freedom to make our own choices. So, no person or entity has that right and needs to be shut down immediately.

Good info😊

Incredible

What about strangers gaining undue influence to destroy other people's marriages and families?

The thing is to have your own game…then if someone is trying to lead you from it in any other direction, stick to your own game that is sure. Don’t chase others rainbows 🌈

Dayum Straight JBP!

It’s easy. I gave it away. I associate things with my surroundings. Facebook Live, Amazon, FedEx, I’m not going to keep going because don’t want to give away more. So it’s not that you are obsessed with everything around you but it’s that. You see the name Joshua, Sophia, Nelson, it reminds you of people that you know. Yeti reminds me of my brother.

Yesss

Gem💙

I can tell when a woman comes from a family like this. I rum fast.

Vemco

Good to hear from Genocide Jordan!

My gf passed away. Her family is like this.

Every position in this video Peterson jettisoned in his endorsement of Donald Trump.

Dirty man

Funny that Peterson talks about manipulative people, given that he is the king of deceit.

Romance scammers

Talk about manipulation. How any Christian (law-maker) could think that had Jesus lived, he would have agreed with their interpretation of words in a bible, should be "beyond belief." From the book … Drop Dead: A Horrible History of Hanging in Canada, author … Lorna Poplak. Capital punishment, the execution of someone found guilty of a crime, dates back to arrival of the European explorers on our shores. In those days, if you were condemned to death, quite a wide range of methods could be used to punish you. You could be hanged, or face a firing squad, or be burned at the stake. Although Canada remained a collection of separate British colonies until Confederation in 1876, a Royal Proclamation in 1763 replaced the prevailing Canadian legal system with the laws of England. By the end of the 1700s in Britain, however, the litany of crimes regarded as sufficiently horrible to warrant the death penalty had swelled to 220, including nefarious acts as keeping company with gypsies or skulking in the dark with a blackened face. In 1828, Patrick Burgan of Saint John, New Brunswick, aged eighteen or nineteen, received the death penalty for the double offence of stealing a watch and some money from his former employer and clothing from a sailors’ boarding house. Given the power and pre-eminence of religion in Canada at that time, your very life would have been in jeopardy if you were caught scrawling slogans on the side of a church. You could also be hanged for stealing your neighbor’s cow, which was the fate of B. Clement of Montreal. And just in case you thought that the law protected the young as it does today, think again. Children were regarded as miniature adults and treated as such - Clement was only thirteen years old when executed.

Stay away from crying men who sell books and people who have special diets.

Talking in circles. Not making clear points. Mentions Sigmund Freud whose work is not relevant to anybody but college students in a psychiatric history course. This is the podcast equivalent of mindless television, he is entertainment not educational. Young people should know that especially young men.

This is why I used to be in the gang life. Because I grew up with manipulative and toxic parents. They are very controlling and judgemental. I could never be myself, it was always a problem to them. And my siblings are jealous of me and my mom puts us against each other . And one of my siblings are a narcissist and my mon said that she had to deal with him long enough so now its “my turn”🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Ugh, it makes total sense that they understood at the moment but then shoved the manipulation to the wayside and let it become part of their MO.

I am just coming from a weekend with a girl i met, i was about to fall in love with her as she was very good to me, but suddenly a small event brought us to a much more important conversation about something that happen to her in the past. And she became different, all cold, empty, manipulative persuasive, Having these tears coming and leaving as it was not even real tears, and desperately trying to put herself in a victim situation. I felt a red flag, I told her my emotions about it and left. Now I am scared for her, feel bad if I made her suffering and thinking of how terrible things she might have been going through in her childhood. But it just does not feel right the way she act compared to what she says. This video makes me feel more confident about what I felt

i would say that every human is manipulative to some degree. I remember my ex girlfrend never cleaning up the bathroom so i started to give her compliments whenever she leaves a room tidy...it didn't take long until she also left the Bathroom tidy. I manipulated her. But is it wrong what i did? Neither my methods nor the goal i achieved did harm her in any way.

I suggest that Jordan IS a manipulative person to those who are transgender. This is Jordan's idea (verbatim) ... “Gender identity and gender expression are not valid ideas. They are not true. There is no evidence for it. I don’t know what the options are, if you don’t identify as a man or a woman. There is an idea that there’s a gender section. I think that is an ill-informed opinion. Gender identity and sexual orientation are the same thing. I don’t believe these people, these terms, stand for good things. I think these people use these terms as a pretense that they stand for good things; as a pretense for them to carry on their nefarious activities.” And this is my idea concerning the subject. If you told me that you were transsexual, I would simply say "Oh, well please tell me all about what that means from 'your' experience." I would NOT say, "Because I say so, there isn't any such condition as being transgender," as that would be very manipulative on my part. Don't you agree?
