Robert Greene: How to Resist MANIPULATION and Be a Lone Wolf (Brad Carr Clip) 

Thanks God Robert Greene exists!

No planet ru-vid.com/show-UChFXHYedYnjFo2ZbLwhiraA

you need to stop making random sounds when guests speak

6:00 "the fool is he who thinks he is wise, while the wise one knows he is a fool". ancient philosophers got it right with that and had to deal with the same stuff we have to... maybe learning from them (including the manipulators) would be wise... just saying they got lessons to teach if we are willing to learn. Hope you have a great day & Safe Travels!

Robert Greene was manipulated and terrified of being left out of the group, hence the reason he took his fizer shots!!!!! Gullible

Correct

The ability to enjoy solitude, rather than enduring it, makes it easier to let go of acquaintances that are not rewarding.

@@pedclarkemobile LOVE IT, I'M PRACTICING THIS IN MY LIFE.

@@pedclarkemobile That's true. I agree with you completely!

probly thats one of the reasons i have no friends :D

He is a powerful God 😊

Yes! Indeed I agree! Amen. @@jennyreed7134

Very well frased and an authentic message. Thank you for sharing

Thank you so much @@wayaca47

I am a sincerely curious independent-minded individual with a wife that loves to go on photography journies alone. It is a very fulfilling private life, but I also spent much of my life working alone in the shop. Today's world has complicated that path with mandatory technology and information reporting. Others can't seem to tolerate the free-thinking individual that is not easily controlled, or frightened.

@@carefulcarpenter im glad to hear that as I am a woman and would like to get married but I want to keep time for myself to do my art /read . I also like to travel alone but I guess it be nice to come home to a husband to hug at night lol You are right that everywhere you go most people cant tolerate if you think for yourself. They want to be part of a group in my case I never wanted to belong to any group but I see it. all around me, they want to follow an ideology be a religion or anything else.

​@@irlandaise5631😊 I like to say things poetically. "small fish swim in schools; the Great White Shark swims alone." cc. 👀 🐠 🌊 There emerged a class of environmental destroyers(saviors of humanity) that came in the aftermath of the "JAWS" movie. Beware. 😊

❤️

@@HANNAHLUMERIA-it5rw So very few sincerely curious people in the World. Synchronistic mathematics is a truth system, a revealer of consciousness. So few are curious to know about it.

❤

Describes how I feel now.

I wish I was in an actual jungle not a concrete one without sun :(

So true! Unfortunately I have many acquaintances (the lights are on but there’s nobody home) but only a couple of like minded friends who can finish my sentence - they are incredibly precious to me.

I am one with pets

I know what you mean!!

Becoming lone wolf is a God given birthright

im alone for 10 year imagine. "whos that black wearing cloth taht come every month buying food" a black wearing cloth dude. thats about my life. peacefull but sometimes boring hehe , at least im busy with my overthinking and """art""""

Cool handle Commentater!

Facts same for me because ppl seem to want to do hurtful things to me for some reason

I'll test your first sentence. What is a woman?

Yes indeed! I'm an introvert.

An adult human female is a woman and eff those nasty liars who fit in by lying about it. Trains is misogyny.

​@@beemonique8466I'm an extrovert and I have no desire to "fit in". I wander from group to group and talk to all.

for sure

Yes indeed ❤

Bless this man, I learned of my shortcomings not from therapy but from he and his book.

What's your top 3 favorite books?

Stop minipulating him

Such a brilliant comment. I've taken as note for me. Most people are so jelous, toxic and disgusting now a days that it is very difficult to maintain a healthy relationship. So, I've been trying to be solo person having books as the best friend. Thank you for sharing your insight.

@@salmanhyder3489 Even better as a best friend than books, is God as your best friend. It's amazing.

Sure buddy

Thats a cool way of seing it :)

That's right darling, you are a child of the universe-you have a right to be here.

No one cares and if you didn’t care what others think you wouldn’t have written it

@@jsquire5pa thank you for caring enough to voice your opinion...

FACTS

This!

Woman please explain your statement. That statement is broad. Did you mean that by being alone we show the world we are better without literally communicating it?

@@swiss9495 how much we project onto others

That's a good one there. I never cared for social acceptance but instead financial independence. I'm tired of the rat race.

Correct

explain please

Exactly!

I can relate so much. Women are just constant chatterboxes and gossipers. Drives me mad.

@@craigdavenport21 ​ I am a woman & I love being alone most of the time. I LOATHE forced social interactions & I avoid talking on the phone whenever I can. I don’t get along with most women because of this. Oh well! Haha

Women associate alot of, even shallow, relationships with influence. influence brings power and stability. They crave that in a man.

I have this very issue but reversed, im the one who needs alone time away from noise

@@kypie8 same 💗

I feel this suffering makes you grow. some blessings are disguised as catastrophes. And you’d didn’t lose them. They lost you remember that one Next time your thinking about people

I’m just like you

Allah is god islam zindabad ❤❤❤

It’s amazing how the pain becomes comforting because that is when your the closest to Jesus 🙏🏽🙌🏽📖

Get married

People make up society so I don't understand the distinction unless you mean Capitalist society reducing people to units of consumerism.

I have been doing this , except for getting groceries , for 2 years ! as I have my books and my music and for first time in my life of 72 years , think and think and being loner beats being betrayed all the time.

@@ameliaannhouck2670 Yes, I agree. Although I am married. My husband is an extrovert and I am an Introvert. And I can honestly say that my life didn't change at all (other than wearing a mask) during the whole pandemic. Lol!

@@ameliaannhouck2670 Agree

Me too

@Dawn Green I do have a cat, but I thought that might be cheating lol!

yes i agree, as someone that most recently discovered i have enjoyed being more introverted or that i am more introverted than i realized. I found I still find myself wanting to fit in with people and its exhausting because you do want to relate with people but where do you cross the line.

Well said. I finally accepted I am an introvert. The world always told me that was a flaw. Now I continue to discover it is a rare super power with pros and cons, but the pros are very powerful. I love being alone, and love being with small carefully selected people (in small doses! lol)

same. i learned i can eat healthy complete nutrition ethical ecological for 3$ a day. now i retired at 40. being alone is amazing. no karen to drain my wallet, no mcdonald to drain my health and wallet.

Facts

It takes a whole life time to heal.

thanks you for reflecting and sharing

Is this why diversity can be a double edged sword and can cause internal conflict?(depending on the person, of course)

If you spend no time alone to know who you are as separate from everyone else I can see how this would be the case, but I can tell the difference between me and other people and the opinions and ideas that are passed down to us. Where I want to stand up in my own beliefs even if they’re different and where I don’t want to challenge ideas because it’s stubbornness making me want to challenge them in the first place or there’s truly a better way to do it, if you’ll be listened to or followed in creating those changes for more than just your own life in the first place. Like he says, it’s all relative and we can’t come to a perfect truth, but we can be aware of our own strengths and weaknesses and know where we can stand independently or need to join arms with others to balance those qualities out, learn to balance them better and be contributing to our families, communities and society as a whole more effectively without feeling like you have no identity or control in any of it anyway. We absolutely have free will and there is always a way to know yourself more deeply than in comparison to everything and everyone else. We can feel complete and whole and be genuinely present with the awareness of whether we should engage in comparison or stand apart. I don’t agree that we never can really know if we’re being manipulated as Robert is saying because it’s a tangible feeling that our nervous system picks up on but if we don’t know how to listen to what our body is telling us or someone else’s is, that’s when we fall into the trap of trusting someone who’s just being manipulative versus supportive and holding you accountable to your best.

@@tiffinysanchez2312 yes but what you have to remember is even in the absence of other people in your company your traits still exist in pairs of opposites. So even if you are a hermit you have to have had a frame of reference at some point in your life to know what those traits are

My main point is that if we had no sense of identity as separate from anyone else we wouldn’t be watching this interview at all. He followed his heart and stuck to his guns about not trying to fit in and be like everyone else in order to achieve the success or submit the ideas he had despite rejection, failure and what everyone else’s ideas already were.

likewise

Yes, Robert has so much to share in his work

@@BradCarr_ He is giving advice from thousands of years of history from the eastern and western worlds. This is how ever, an older way that few get to know. Everyone thinks they know what happened in North America before CC arrived but they have no idea. Here’s a hint ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vnrv6y9-uNg.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-E4DeSgw92VM.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2whdwK3FuHs.html

😂😂

There is good manipulation

You are being taught, engaging in the process.

Funny. He's informational

Hahah true

glad you enjoyed it

Well put 👍

yes, Robert's a legend

The truth teller usually is.

yes, a connection there for sure

Facts!

Because they are watching Tv in their house

Totally makes sense. I've found people are getting really cold and selfish after the pandemic. And people don't care about each other anymore

I don't think this is what happened. It is just like the old Cyndi Lauper song : people just finally showed thier true colors! They were always like this , the muggles and zombie /sheep, just showing who they truly are , nasty , mean, narcisistics!

Agreed, 33 strategies is outstanding

Robert often has good advice!

@@BradCarr_ Yes I read his book The Laws of Human Nature: Greene, Robert. Very interesting - also very interesting walk down history with examples.

Lol

he seems to do that alot I saw this messianic in other interview saying people are stupeed don't know the 43 laws of power?! lol

@@messianic_scam haha yeah I’ve come to realise that social media is just one big pot of manipulation. Some are better at it than others, like this man. You have to have suffered a lot of trauma and abuse to see the manipulation unfortunately.

Then you've missed the point because you only think £££.Wisdom can be bought.

We all being manipulated, you just need to see and understand who actually has your best interest at heart. Manipulation happens naturally and also happens intentionally it's human nature to crave influence and have control but be careful when you posses it and when you consume it.

Screenshot text for daily reference thank you

Yeah that’s straight up some terrible advice right there. Let’s copy the emotions response of psychopaths. You can’t even if you wanted to (it’s hardwired).Focusing on the self leads to mental health problems. Focusing on helping others improves mental health.

This is silly. Psychopaths for the most part are just people who have high deficits in emotional intelligence. It’s not that they’re emotionless, it’s that they have poor impulse control, no consideration for morality, and are basically emotionally impaired/disabled. They have very little capacity for interrupting their poor behavioral patterns. We fall privy to bullshitting and manipulation through what we find salient to us. We don’t lie to ourselves, we distract ourselves. To avoid manipulation, an individual needs to be able to self-reflect on their distractions and salience landscape.

@@sof553 I don’t think being detached is a bad thing. I don’t emotionally attach to many people. I don’t have expectation of them. I also don’t require “hanging out”. I am friendly to people, but I have really strict boundaries to keep them at a distance. I enjoy the company of few. I am kind, but I don’t fall for people guilt tripping me with “shoulding” on me. I am done caring what people think I should do for them. I don’t subscribe anymore to that tactic of manipulative people. I use to be surrounded by them. Now, I mainly deal with people transactionally mainly. I keep it simple. Intimacy is reserved for a very select few.

@@77Tadams very smart

that was delicious to read for my eyes non the least

Pretty sure its mostly not even our own energy we feel

Good work soldier

glad you found this so stimulating!

@@BradCarr_ I just love Robert Greene. One of the best minds of his generation. Thank you for posting! I will be listening to the full interview.

Agreed, his work is so interesting

Lol yes. I'm binge watching his videos.

😂

😂😂😂😂 trapped

Underrated w

Oh come on .... aww.. he has helped a lot of people. I didn't have any skills except being sincere, truthful and loyal, living in an ideal utopian world. It took these lessons to realize how to protect your boundaries.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Why would anyone want to be a part of society when all people do is look at their phones and their Facebook pages while they’re hanging out with you and no one really wants to have an intelligent conversation. Forget them being there for you when you’re going through stuff because they’re so busy they can’t even bother to talk with you for more than 5 minutes.

Glad you enjoyed this

I agree with everything you said!! That’s why I only wear sweaters lmfao

I was like you growing up and not as comfortable as you seem to be by yourself. People come and go as i have learned. No worries.

Dont worry about "no guy will marry you if you have zero friends." A lot of guys actually prefer girls who have some sort of social isolation

Keep being you, don't sacrifice yourself for others. It's your life not theirs. ❤️

All types of people can have friends. Even very introverted people can have good and healthy friendships. Seems you don’t evaluate people very well. Most people need to be avoided as they are toxic. Maybe learn more about psychology so you can find the right friends for you.

Sorry I didn't understand well, what do you mean?

@@empresaglova1268 Basically be honest with yourself, know your limits, be honest with the other. Listen to them. Watch what they do. If you smell a turd, confirm it. Walk away.

Thank you very much!

@@BradCarr_ I agree; engaged but willing to shut up and let the guest express themselves. Subscribed.

:)

Glad it was helpful!

for sure

Thanks for listening

Freud states, "Are you depressed or just surrounded by a bunch of assholes?". get away from your negative situation.

Improve your gut health

Magpies too

Dogs too. Cats, I'm not so sure.

thank you very much!
