It is better to be alone than in bad company.

I'm 43 I've spent my whole life around douchbags backstabbing completely gave my time to the wrong people. Had children with the wrong person. Being alone is honestly the most beautiful peaceful feeling I've ever had.

I’m 66, female, I’m not afraid of dying I’m afraid of how I’m going to die, I don’t want to get sick. I have accomplished everything I was supposed to do and more…I’m ready to cross to the other dimension.

God bless you Dr. Peterson- you are in my prayers❤

Man I’ve always had that same sentiment. “Idk if hell follows or it’s always here”. That makes so much sense to me. Thank you for all your work Dr. Peterson.

Some people are constantly aware of their mortality, and some people avoid any thoughts of it, go to great lengths to ignore it, and pretend it's never going to happen to them.

I keep on dreading the death of Dr Jordon Peterson, we are so lucky to witness a living legend ❤❤❤

Thank you dr Peterson

How about that! I have something in common with Dr Peterson! I am continually aware that death is my constant companion.

It's sad, but I totally understand what this feels like. I am also ready to be done. Death does not bring me fear as much as the thoughts of living long into old age.

If you want be PM in his country this gentleman should have 3 hr interview with each candidate Future PM Pierre did good mature conversation with him. Was nice listening two smart men talk like adults about that awful country

Nobody’s alone not even you.

Wow, this conversation actually made me cry a bit. I think about death all the time too. I really love this man, how deep his thinking goes and how articulate his speaking is but he’s not afraid to say, I don’t know. That’s true wisdom in my book.

I spend 95% of my time alone and I enjoy it. Sometimes though, I do wonder if I'm missing something.

If you're lonely while alone then you're in bad company !!

I have never had much of a fear of death. Even as a kid. Maybe that's because I grew up in a really harsh environment. My brother used to say I was like a lemming when I was a kid, doing so many crazy things, like climbing buildings and trees and falling out of them. I never broke any bones from these activities. I certainly got some scars though. I think both my parents could quite easily be classed as having a narcissistic personality disorder. They came from more isolated communities just mainly around relatives and just close family, so their behaviour was never called into check. I grew up in a large village/small town close to a major city. I was trying to explain from the age of 5 to my parents why they were never invited to the neighbours parties and I was. Most of the neighbours were afraid to be around them, especially my dad who was close to being a psychopath, prone to violence. I think it's quite clear that Jordan has never had a spiritual experience and his soul is crying out for one. He has never felt a oneness with the Universe. Time doesn't matter. You don't have to always be working. You can live a balanced life. You will never escape the viciousness of others for too long but you can build out comfort zones for yourself in life between the harshness. I agree with what he said though, the feeling of oneness is only on the other side of hell. You have to go through hell to experience it. You have to speak the truth when everyone else around you is lying, everyone else around you is going along with power. You don't have to constantly speak it though, as believe me, you will be murdered, but you have to focus on it at least within your own heart. You will meet very few people who speak the truth in life. Almost everyone goes along with power most of the time and is caught up in a maelstrom of lies. They do not even know which way to turn to find the truth. Just constantly looking to follow the crowd so that they are not personally attacked. I think though, when you see so much viciousness and pain, and people dishing those out doing well, it makes you question the nature of the Universe. What a mess the Unified spirit has created in man, in the realm of physical existence. I can only say that once you focus on truth and give up on life, the world and on the sense of God itself, on the other side of hell, when despair is just a distant mirage on the horizon, then you can feel the oneness in a very strong format. I wouldn't recommend this as a path to anyone though, and there are many other ways to experience this that are less difficult. Get away from the cities. Go to nature. Get away from all city lights where you can fully take in the beauty of the night sky and the stars. Use all natural methods to try and feel this oneness. The unnatural methods are ok to tide you over until you can get the reserves and time to experience these brief moments of oneness again. There are many other methods to feel this to some extent also. Laughter, love, music, etc. Jonathan Haidt mentions some in his book the Happiness Hypothesis. Jordan should focus on just looking for methods to have spiritual experiences. Give up all pharmaceutical methods to balance yourself. Go through the pain without them. Get away from cities. Best of luck to everyone.

Gazing into the abyss would be like looking up at night. You see one star....then another appears and another. Then before you know it you see hundreds of stars

" Si tu regardes l'abîme assez longtemps tu vois la lumière, pas les ténèbres " que c'est vrai, absolument nécessaire d'être des DIGGERS ❤ Vous nous y aider Mr. J ! Tant de gens acceptent d'aller chez le proctologue mais ne se laissent pas sonder par l'Esprit-Saint....!

Loneliness has helped me become a businessman and writer etc but I long for companionship like the majority but its easy to say when you're not alone that being alone is key

Embracing life's potential fully not only enriches our experiences but fortifies us against existential fears. 💡

All Anger stems from loss...find what you lost and discover the root of your Anger...Toa de Ching

All the time. True.

I am not concerned about dying, it’s how I might die that is the worry. Lol.

I am in my 40s and being unmarried and completely single is my only fulfilling way of life. I feel so much better when I am not close to anyone.

Wow wow something to think about. I for sure have . Live your day as it is your last. Feel blessed and pray always for the good

❤If one sets his/her 'aim' on God the Almighty Creator as 'Truth' be told,, then no concerns for balancing your 'honesty' is required... And then if anyone should be troubled by your statement (s),, you can know that you still have 'served' them well,, and with love,,Amen?,,, Amen, amen ❤️...

I trust in the promise of Jesus so I’m never alone.

Great discussion! I liked it a lot.

Blessings 🙏✝️

Wow!

The only way to combat the fear of death is to know where you are going after you die.And I know I will be in Heaven with my Lord.I have no fear of death, nor man and will live my days craving His love, guidance and peace. Man will take your peace...the Lord keeps me stable and strong.And able to give to others which brings happiness.If you know where you are going,( heaven) know whose you are(the Lord"s) .......living life with confidence and dieing with peace is what I forsee in my life.

When I was turning 40, I suddenly became afraid of dying because of it was often mentioned in news, etc that men were susceptible to heart attacks starting at that age.. Now closing in on 80 I find it less frightening. In hind sight I think at 40 I had a lot more living to do so that caused my fear. Now my body is wearing down, a lot of family and friends have passed away and I am more at peace with my future related to death. I once had an elderly woman who reach the age of 100 yrs. Tell me she was ready to die. I asked her why. She indicated it was because all the people she knew including her children had passed away and she had nothing further to live for…I think that is the reality of life and death. I am reach that point myself.

Elon Musk and all of us can easily relieve ourselves at anytime from worldly pressures and the weight of it. Become born again and truly put aside everything and walk with Jesus. It makes sense and I'm positive Elon Musk would be much happier. Let it go

Whatever I am or become, I don't want to be the guy that was out hiking with his dog in a baby backpack!

Great video, but don't know what it has to do with being alone.

I think we are in a Soul Trap.. I'm not getting caught in this horrible suffering again....

I came here to learn "The Art Of Being Alone". Video had nothing to do with that.

My husband suddenly died and im having a hard time

I can corfirm: Yes, there is plenty ( a lot) of us No, we will not rescue any of U

Imagine if Mr.Peterson was to interview clowns like Justin or Joey He would make them both stutter sweat and run out of the room struggling to answer complicated and hard questions

His picture looks like he’s daring you to call him a clown.

The abyss can stare all it wants, won't make it right.

What does this video have to do with being alone? Is the title an error?

I have lived large with many adventures and I am writing to you Jordan to let you know that your laundry list is less important than you think. I will be willing to share this truth with you when you are ready sir.

"Death is my advisor..." Don Juan Matus

Right

Matthew 5:29-30.

I'm hoping to die peacefully in my sleep just like my grandad did.. Not yelling and screaming like all his passengers

I call BS on "every word I think of death".

Why people don’t understand death I don’t know why I do maybe once I was very close and as I remember we made a deal but I was a child probably imagination only 😊

Interesting but nothing to do with the title and the imagery.

I still like you even if I disagree with you on some things. You are still very wise but I want you to understand the other view sometimes but unsure if you can truly grasp the depth of some people’s darkness

Lawfare is warfare with enemies of the US using the law. Malicious Prosecution= Making case law with malicious intent and is NOT to be used against individual citizens in the United States. psyOps was first done by the United States during the Nazi situation using fake tanks and things like that Claiming Lawfare can be used against citizens= an attack reserved for enemies being used against citizens. You are the Nazi expert and that's why you may be one of the most important people to stop its advance. Respectfully Melanie loomos

Prosecuting Witness -The private person upon whose complaint or information a criminal accusation is founded and whose testimony is mainly relied on to secure a conviction at trial. particularly the persywho was chiefly injured by the act constituting the alleged crime (as in the case of assault), and who instigates the Prosecution and gives the evidence." Q. Is Porn chick and Disbarred lawyer COHEN being protected by a gag order from the Court because they have been merged into 1 person to meet the above 8:08 definition? That would explain the gag order, the fact the case is in both State and Federal Court and the fact that they have rotating prosecutors in this action. Q. What prosecutor signed the action being tried against Trump? Respectfully, MelanieLoomos

People can evolve only through interactions with others, and be truly fulfilled and happy only through LOVE. Love can manifest in two ways only through devoting your life to God (solitude on human level) or through developing and cultivating a relationship with another being per God's laws (man and woman). JP seems burned out emotionally after big tests of stress, faith. Not knowledge dear Doc, but love heals!! Worry less, love more to heal yourself.

I don't get Jordan's way of "threat" thinking. It's to limiting. It's all "or else this, or else that". Who can live like that? And how can someone NOT want to keep living longer and longer?

Will Jordan come off social media for 5 minutes, so?

Honestly it feels like I escaped into my 40s pretty much unscathed. They did their best to screw me but somehow I made it out of my teens, 20s and 30s. Plan on working till I'm 85 or so and that might be tough going it alone. I'll probably just hire a maid though and that'll work. Starting to think grandkids would be cool but that would involve having to be married to some idiot trying her best to screw you over every chance she gets. And it would having to have and raise kids. If a supermodel jumped in my lap and said I'm yours I might reconsider being single. But I'm not pressing my luck with more woman. Especially after everything I escaped. And all the girls I've ever been with were only because my "flirtation" skills were pretty much borderline rape. That would definitely get me in jail these days.

OK, a minute and a half and I would totally have kids again. Just not with the same woman.! Kids are the creation of life, children are life, exploding into being! You have to have a partner who wants to be a part of that growing with your children and themselves and with you altogether. My ex was a “it has to be my way.” “ just do what I say” person. It’s so absurd that you blow it off the time as a mood disorder.. which probably is. But kids are life going to the tropics and watching the fertility of growth all around you. Except kids are human. It’s a generation of humanity can’t be dismissive of our in the situation to grow. Kids in an extra generation of that grow and it’s beautiful.

You should be alone if you are wearing that jacket.

So Jordan has the art of being alone mastered. Now if he would just learn the art of silence.

Private Prosecutor - "One who sets in motion the machinery of criminal justice against a person he believes to be guilty of a crime by laying an accusation before the proper authorities and who is not himself an officer of the government." 1. Q. Is the gag order protecting Cohen becase he was defendant who became the Private Prosecutor in this alleged action without an actual change? 2. This is malicious Prosecution in search of a crime, period. Everything charged is beyond the statue of litations. 3. I believe this malicious Prosecution is resulting in damages for the Presidentsl candidate and ALL his supporters. 4. We need to file a class action since Republicans are being attacked along qith the Jews. 5. This situation is way worse that smoking cigarettes in the courthouse, which Hillary Clinton's brother made so much money from - the tobacco class action. He was a regular Public Defender in Miami Dade before his big class actuon. 6. Any lawyers have balls? I have Newtons balls.👍 Respectfully, Melanie Loomos

Surrender

This interviewer! Needs some help.

Sorry, but you've never been alone. You have allways been withyour wife. Days with distance I'd not call beeing allone. When you were about to loose her, you drowned your fear in Benzos. No judgement, totally understandable. But really beeing alone is something only people who have been through it, are able to assess.

According to Wikipedia you are 61 years old.

Jesus is falsehood. He did not lie he is cool. His followers are not unless. Top choice good

This is dangerous and misleading
