*Rule 08 - Tell The Truth* -- I've been doing that for so many years. Not a single lie. I don't go out telling other people what I think of them, that is being rude. I answer SPECIFICALLY what they asked for, not more, not less. If for some reason I don't want to answer the question, instead of lying I have a trick that is super complex to normal people, I say "I really don't wanna answer that, if that's ok for you." and ta-da, we change topics. I'm not saying it's easy not to lie in a world where people expect you to lie, but with therapy and courage, you can. I learned that every time I lie, I'm being ashamed of who I am.

[@stuarthall3874]

"I learned that every time I lie, I'm being ashamed of who I am." - I like that line. I think valuing to tell the truth has been one of my most beneficial qualities, greater that my intelligence or congeniality. As I've gotten older, I've found it harder to not deceive. I have come across people who will look for ammo against me and use partial truths as basis for lies against me. It is then hard for me not to lie in order to hide such truths. I also fear that I lie to myself more than I realize. That may be the biggest challenge to be truthful. Overcoming that necessitates having others in my life who love me and value truth. So many of us construct stories to uphold our own sense of worth and it might be a lie to think I am not vulnerable to that as well.

*"Rule 12 - Pet a cat when you encounter one on the street"* This one really hit me in the strangest way. I recently lost my best friend, my dog, and I was absolutely heartbroken because of it. One day I was walking aimlessly in the streets, like I many times did with my dog, when a random cat caught my gaze and came towards me. The only thing that I could do was the most obvious one: I petted it. After a few minutes, we both went our way. I don't know how or why that happened, but it truly was like a ray of light piercing through the dark clouds of my mind. It made me realize that, despite death and sadness, life can still go on and offer moments of shining beauty.

#5 is a really tough one for me. I have a son with autism, and I work with children, who have behavior disorders. Nearly all of the parents whose children I have worked with struggle with #5, because our children have difficulty conforming to social norms. We have to shift our feelings about what is appropriate and likable about our children when they have profound disabilities. If we do not, we will certainly dislike them. Sadly, those around us, who do not know our families, may not shift their ideals, and when this happens, sometimes our entire family becomes socially outcast.

There's a lot more information about autism now than there was a generation ago, enough for someone on the functional side of the spectrum to understand what's different about them and learn how to understand social cues and modulate their behavior. The world is "neurotypical" and it's unreasonable, not to mention unfair, to expect the majority to redefine the norm so people outside it feel better. People have a duty to be kind to those who are different but if those who are different don't undertake to learn how to interact normally with others, they will always be outsiders and never fully participate in life. Harsh but true.

I used to come here and listen to these videos at nights whenever I felt alone or perhaps lonely. It was a relief from time to time but I've come to a conclusion by the time. "Life is as meaningful as you fulfil yourself" That is why you get sad or mad and literary seeking for peace, putting your concern at ease and you trying trying and trying but you often break down and crawl toward distractions like p*rn, s*x, or cigar and any other sorts of addiction which it could even be eating food or not carrying about self and then, at the end of the day you feel impurity, defiled, self-loathing.

Dr. Peterson: I actually HAVE met someone whose parents made them too independent. They let the child run free and undisciplined and unsupervised from a young age. In my observations over several years of this child, this resulted in the child becoming very insecure. I suppose it was because the child was thinking, "Well, who's watching out for me? I'm responsible for myself and my own survival." This seemed to be terrifying to the child (and rightfully so) and resulted in the child regressing to thumb-sucking at an "advanced" age among other fears.

It has served me well -- a kid from a poor family who became an Eagle Scout, editor of his high school and college paper, managing editor of a 10-newspaper chain and then creator and publisher of a successful ski magazine before retiring to a life of golfing, sailing and skiing at 58.

11:50 Rule 12 made me a believer. Funny enough, my cat looks 95% like this cat and she is my world. Smartest and most loving sweetie. I found her when she was 1.5 weeks old, runt of litter, abandoned, and dying. She came at a time I was at my lowest. I never realized it until now, 5 years later - that she made me such a better person. Always there when I needed someone, and something to take care of. I am a better person because of her - as well as many other things

Even though he advocates (with no evidence) the patriarchy is genetically determined, and thinks women should understand men are superior to them, and doesn't believe racial inequality is an issue, and sees no function to, and is very judgmental of, gender distinction, and refuses to acknowledge the subtle but powerful infusion of religion into his 12 Rules, and others I won't bother to address here, he is right about one thing: It's good to listen when someone speaks because something might be learned. But we all knew that to begin with.

[@cyberapril-j]

A thing that I always remind myself - If I want to change or aspire to make a difference, then it starts with me. It's far easier to campaign hate than love and much even normal to just coast through life than go after your goals. Instead of being that person who laughs at someone's failures and keeps asking how someone got the perfect end-result, I'll always be on the other side of the coin who struggles and thrive for the better.

[@charliepeters4820]

Rule 3 stuck out to me. Make friends with people who want the best for you. Simple enough, but it was his commentary . . . If done correctly, this won't make your life easier or more pleasant. If done correctly it will make your life more difficult as your TRUE friends will demand the very best from you. Solid.

#1. Stand up straight with your shoulders back: Slouching often happens on the people who are shy and less confident. It happens to myself and my teenager daughter except I'm now gaining more and more conscious about it and will correct myself whenever I realize I fall back to slouching position, but she still doesn't put any effort into it despite I have reminded her many many times. She was getting irritated when I was trying to remind her again and again when we walk together. Any parents here have some good suggestions on that? I, on the other hand, use her as a reminder to myself not to slouch because it really looks awful. So with her standing by my side, I will always remember to stand up straight. I guess that's a silver lining.

I just finished listening to the audio book of JP's 12 Rules for Life and I must say, this short video was more beneficial than the entire book. I read a review from someone who said there were a few too many religious references in the book, which I wasn' too keen on. However, I assumed it would be sparingly so I got the book anyway. Disappointingly, around 90% of the entire book is constant bible references and metaphors. Not even exaggerating. I felt like I was listening to a preacher just reciting stories from the bible and metaphors in an attempt to explain the rules being discussed. I have been watching JP content for a while now and very much enjoy it, however the book was, for lack of a better word, terrible in my opinion. If anyone is thinking about buying it, and you are not christian, don't bother. Watch this short video and you'll get more benefit from the 12 rules.

Rule 5 can be perilous. I don’t agree with ensuring that your children are welcomed by all others. If others, or the social world have different morals, values and beliefs, I will not want them to be around them or at least be very wary in dealing with them. Trick is to stay within social circles that have same values etc. I do agree with not criticizing others. However, know your values and beliefs and stick with them…very hard.

I avoid telling to truth to the people close to me about the things I'm ashamed of doing and I don't know how to fix it If I tell them everything I do wrong that's too much, if I just tell them the truth then it hurts and it's scary. I don't want to do the things and I'm trying to be better. They would probably believe me and understand because they're wonderful people and I'm so fortunate to have them. It's almost as if the only way I could bear to speak the truth to them is if I first made the truth into something desirable. But I'm starting to think that maybe avoiding the truth is getting in the way of that. I don't know. But every time I do what Jordan Peterson says to do, my life gets unbelievably better in every dimension I can think of (I mean that literally, by the way), so maybe I should take a blind leap of faith into it and just be honest again.

I'm not sure about rule #5. I get the underlying message and I do wish that my parents would've acted more in accordance with it as I never fit in as a child growing up and I was never taught how important it is to care about your appearance and to make sure you always look and smell good. I've only learned those things through my own life experiences and it's been a very slow and painful process. However, I also think it's a bit simplistic to say that you, as a parent, should do everything to make sure your kid is accepted socially. In fact that could very much limit their creativity and their person in general. We are all unique and special in our own ways and I think those abilities should be carefully cultivated even if that will lead to some ostracization at times. Because that is how we progress and how we find our own path in life. If you're too busy trying to fit in you won't know who you are and you will be lost in life. So I think the way Peterson explains it is a bit simplistic. There are more dimensions to it than that.

Rule #8 - TELL THE TRUTH: I agree with most heartily. I have violated that in my past for two reasons: The first because I was lazy and the truth took effort and discipline. I have worked hard to eliminate that character defect and made huge improvements. The second is to protect someone, or something of value, from damage. I have resolved that there will be little to no adjustments made to that ethos.

Rule 12: “...in the narrowing time frame...in minutes... [that you have remaining] when you are up against the wall...[so, before that]… Take the time to appreciate everything you can that manifests itself, that allow itself to be appreciated.” Spiritually speaking, that’s when you are one with your world, and are nothing less or need anything more. Those intoxicated by their youth do not appreciate life’s last hour that comes inexorably as they squander time that would have been better used for self discovery. I have been on that journey of self discovery in the last four decades. It hasn’t been a smooth journey because there were not as much resources back then, but the struggle has been worth it. I have been challenged and have surmounted the obstacles on way to feel today I am worth it.
