How to Read People & Outsmart Manipulation | Joe Goldberg Analysis | You Netflix

[@thattrickytrickster612]

What makes Joe so tragic for me, is that he has all the qualities of actually being a good and desirable man. He’s handsome, intelligent, charming and would obviously go the extra mile for his lover. Unfortunately, he takes it way too far and becomes obsessed. If he wasn’t crazy, a lot of women in the show would be vying for him.

[@AyaanKhan-tb2ot]

Women are still ( Vying) for him .

[@carlitobrigante330]

What I found odd about his character: for someone who professed such 'love' for his partners (first Beck, then Love), he seems incredibly unfazed/unhurt by their eventual rejection of him. (That lack of affect/inability to 'feel' is, of course, a trait of sociopaths.)

[@domrob3600]

@@carlitobrigante330 I think it's bc in his mind he's already rationalized his way out of feeling regret or guilt by telling himself that all his decisions are for really good reasons. So it helps numb him of emotional responses. I honestly thought that aspect of his was odd when it came to Love. The more you invest into a person, the harder it is to unravel your connections with them, no matter the power of your own rationalizations

[@seabreeze4559]

he looks like ted bundy, why are the crazies hot?

[@XlovesongwriterX13]

Joe comes across as contrived and pretentious. He's also codependent and vain. Ever if he was not a killer, he would still be a horrible person.

[@MultiAsdag]

He has a high IQ and is good at manipulating people. He also unfortunately manipulates himself into self delusion that his next "crush" is perfect. Even the most simple minded people can see through faults of the women he's obsessed with. But somehow despite how smart he is overlooks this in the same way over and over and over. It's baffling he cannot see the pattern of repetition he's going through by season 3. There's zero self reflection ability in Joe. This tv show could have 100 seasons where he keeps seeking out damaged women thinking they are perfect and I bet on season 100 he still wouldn't have realised it. That part of his brain must be missing.

[@Johnnysmithy24]

Actually he does have a bit of self awareness in season 2 and most importantly in season 3. He has some good development imo, in season 3 he’s trying to be better and his kill count significantly reduced. And the thing he does at the end was very good development I think

[@carlitobrigante330]

With Beck, at least, he knew that she was not 'perfect': his very mission was to help her to become the 'best' version of herself.

[@salma1491]

the last point really stands with me because i have people in my life who try to intimidate me and when i show emotion they use that over me because they know that is my weakness.

[@deepblue1846]

It's actually been studied that most bullies actually do not have abnormal insecurities.. to the contrary most have an unhealthily strong ego and self esteem. They aren't people to be pitied but rather ostracized.

[@yanieelidrissi2562]

We always seek what we lack, in this case bullies they seek power, control and the feeling of being better than which makes their actual day to day reality a mixture weakness, vulnerability and inferiority however not all cases are the same.

[@deepblue1846]

@@yanieelidrissi2562 "Research studies have proven that there is no link between kids who behave aggressively toward other kids and low self-esteem. In fact, psychologists have found that kids who behave like bullies have high self-esteem, but that they are very "shame-prone." That means they are afraid their failures or shortcomings will be exposed. A person can have problems with shame and still have high self-esteem, and this is what makes a person act like a bully. Their mean behavior toward others keeps their self-esteem high because it takes their own and others' attention away from the parts of themselves about which they are ashamed." - Mary C. Lamia Ph.D. "Psychologists used to believe that bullies have low self-esteem, and put down other people in order to feel better about themselves. While many bullies are themselves bullied at home or at school, new research shows that most bullies actually have excellent self-esteem. Bullies usually have a sense of entitlement and superiority over others, and lack compassion, impulse control and social skills. They enjoy being cruel to others and sometimes use bullying as an anger management tool, the way a normally angry person would punch a pillow. Research does support the fact that bullies have low empathy, and they really don’t know how it feels to be in someone else’s shoes." There are many other studies that support this but this was sourced from an article in psychology today. Not to say there aren't insecure bullies but it's in no way a majority or a rule of thumb. They are in no way victims in most cases and even if they were their treatment of others is not acceptable in light of any past experiences.

[@yanieelidrissi2562]

@@deepblue1846 Yes of course what you said is 100% correct what I wanted to point out is just this all cruelty springs from weakness in the case you stated though they have excellent self esteem they're ashamed of some parts which drives them to bully but isn't this shame at it's core weakness the inability to accepte one self as it is? We may have different words for it and in different degrees but all evil begins with fear.

@Deep Blue, bullies are narcissists. Can't pity them, can't change them only way is to steer away from them.

[@k.shopenhauer6070]

To quote Perks of Being a Wallflower, "we accept the love we think we deserve" Joe's psych and sociopathy derive from his earlier childhood traumas and experiences, as many people would put that he has "mommy issues", he's only searching for the love and affection he feels he deserves from the lack, and over compensates for this when he feels he's stumbled onto it and will do anything to save it, but it is also a self delusion as well.

[@ZombieFoodReviews]

His desire for perfection is his downfall.

[@youngnastyman]

I don’t really see it as a desire for perfection, in fact I think it’s the opposite. He doesn’t want perfect he was someone to fix. It’s stems from his mother who was obviously far from perfect. Beck was a mess, he obsessed over Love until she accepted everything about him and Marianne had baggage stacked to the moon. When his marriage was working out fine is when his eyes drifted. This is just my interpretation however.

[@ZombieFoodReviews]

@@youngnastyman Very good observation. I agree with you. I think ultimately by having that need to fix them, Joe sabotages himself because in fixing them it is not about them, it's all about him! He is extremely self-destructive, but not in an obvious sense. Physically and mentally he always preserves himself. He is witty, charming and a generally likeable dude in social scenarios, but as soon as you peel away a couple of layers, that is who Joe is. He is cunning and acutely narcissistic. What I want to see is somebody try to fix Joe. Joe's always trying to change somebody else. I wonder if we will see a character try to change Joe, without giving him a choice. Joe is yet to find a woman that genuinely loves him.

Some people have a natural way to detect personalities like Joe. Empaths have issues with Narcs and Socialpaths. Usually they (Joes) will always drop their mask. Usually when you try to deepen intimacy, it starts to fracture because they are usually shallow. You will notice how you share, but they don’t.

[@pandorabox5532]

It's usually down to how much self esteem you have. People like Joe tend to gaslight and guilt trip people a lot, a person who knows their own self worth (even an empath) would realize that and stay away from them.

I noticed this about myself a while back and it’s made me question whether or not I’m capable of forming a true intimate connection. I’m a charismatic guy and have no trouble courting women, however it seems that surface level connection far as I’m capable of going. I’ve been broken up with because a girl felt as though she “didn’t know me.” It’s a pattern with multiple partners where I basically don’t open myself to them.

[@eline7214]

@@dob2664 just a theory but maybe its because the more you share the more likely the facade of an "ideal charismatic lover" fades? obviously no person is perfect so we try our best to have our presentations spick and span when we're courting someone. ive had a best friend with a similar dilemma and he had a hard time dropping the act when things started getting more intimate emotionally.

@@akpade Less credible for other people but a correct statement none the less. Every person on the planet hides behind a fake mask. Who they want the world to see. Not who they are. The only question is why? For most its to hide a vulnerability. For the personality disorders its to hide the nothing/monster underneath. We ALL have masks we wear but 98% of the population can't see its a mask cause they can't see through the mask. An INFJ for example is hardwired to pick up on bodylanguage, patterns in behaviour, the cause and effect of feelings. And we always get clues that don't fit the mask. We see through the mask. And the beautiful part is when we then treat people as we see them not as the mask wants us to treat them...people open up quite naturally to us. They don't hide from us cause they CAN'T hide from us. Same goes for the personality disorders. They like to manipulate and trick people. They like digging holes for others to fall into. I can see them digging. But they can't see that I see. I believe the punishment should fit the crime and I practice the emotional/social variant of Judo (a gentler way of fighting back using your opponents strength against them while preserving your own energy). So I pretend I don't see them digging. Than when they try to push me into the hole they will realise I flipped the board on them and they themselves end up in the hole. Usually mad at me for throwing them into the hole. "Uhh you jumped in, you dug that hole yourself and technically I didn't know there was a hole to begin with didn't I".😈 Treat others as you want to be treated buddy. Also dominating an infj is useless....they are sigma and don't do group pressure. Honey I am not part of the group, I am temporarily socialising with the group....there is a difference. 😃

As INFJ like me, i truly understand the type of personality that he portrayed (as INxJ). I’m also a silent observer in dynamics. Its just of his tragic backstory or being not so socialize made him tend to manipulate people to get what he wants easily yet develop his crush on the girl since his strong intuition in the love of the first-sight. People found him charming, intelligent, considerable, cool and whatsoever but don’t ever fall for this kind of person entirely because this person has potential to be having personality of dark traits once people treat him unjustly unless you’re a naive person.

I thought this was correct but if you rewatch this show, you quickly realize the show tricks you into believing he’s much better at these things than he is. If you keep track of all of his moments of convince I call it, he loses almost every time. He almost never wins his way in conflict moments. At one point I had him at 2 for 28 on getting his way when conflict was central. It’s why he’s forced to resort to actual violence and tricks. And his true genius is an ability to stay in social circles he’s rejected by. This is uncommon, and allows that silent observation stance combined with a genuine desire to always appear as the perfect boyfriend to elevate his status in combination with always acting on confirmed knowledge.

The irony and pitfall of your perspective is to believe that his perspective is objective. He was highly judgmental and only assumed to know something about those people without having enough information for most of the claims he makes about the people he observes. He also doesn't bother to test his asumptions. He just seems to assume he is right because he thinks he is smarter and better than everyone else. I can't rember it perfectly because it has been a while since I watched the show, but as far as I remember he was wrong many many times with the assumptions he made which got him and people around him into a lot of trouble many times.

He is very observant and he pays a lot of attention, but his conclusions are highly subjective, but because he actually takes the time to pay better attention to what is happening is a useful thing to do and therefore the advice of doing that is valid and useful. Also being in the mids of season 3 now shows me that so far he can get himself out of trouble and find one (not the best necessarily) solution to prevent being caught even though he screwed up. Is that really what he wants or is it what he feels like he needs to do to survive and what was it he really got when he wanted it and did he really wanted what he thought he wanted? His current situation seems to suggest, not really.

lol sorry joe is definitly a cliche. pretentious know it all bookworm who thinks theyre better than everyine else for reading old books. its also important to note hes not that smart, i think most viewers are influenced by how hesees things through his narrative rather than what actually happens. hes constantly reckless about his cover ups and fucks up many times. he doesnt fake very well, multiple characters have found him odd or weird or were able to caught up an off vibe from him, he also refuses to adapt which makes it more apparent theres something off with him. he usually his rationalization may influence the viewer to think hes a genius or something lol. he also doesnt "see the truth" he just makes a bunch of assumptions based on pictures or gestures or specific moments. dd

[@vixen7774]

Honestly though, that’s what I thought too.I guess he’s a “rarer cliche “ 😹if that makes sense .

[@FrodoMeow]

i agree about the smart thing, i think he just comes off as it since he’s more articulate and has good pronunciation

[@grandpa.smacker]

i think he's intelligent in a book smart kind of way. but he's definitely spent so much time in his head rationalizing his crazy obsessions that he really believes he's smarter than everyone else + is always one step ahead, when a lot of the time he's just making shit up as he goes

[@JesseMathiu]

ahah bookworm

[@strawberryshortgirl2637]

Exactly, when I first heard him narrating and judging everyone for having a facade, him being a chameleon to literally every person he needs to manipulate was the biggest facade. He acted smart, but stalking isn’t a specialized skill, he’s just obsessed and most people aren’t stalkers who analyze everyone. It’s funny he judges people and acts like their facade is annoying but was a hypocrite. That’s why before the 1st episode finished I didn’t understand how “you” was popular. Cliche, cliche. Kind of like how people say Ted bunny was charming and attractive, they make joe a knock off version, even then bundy I didn’t find to be either of those things

[@RianneMision]

Great analysis and nice editing too. Can’t wait to see this channel blow up in the future!

[@samanthabarzola5718]

Wow amazing video definitely going to use these hacks!

[@chloesheler1927]

Please make more of these types of videos!

[@TheRealK33N]

Interestingly the literature actually suggests that bullies have higher than average senses of self esteem rather than deep insecurity that they hide behind a facade. Not sure what to make of that tbh

[@princeofficial6998]

Know the both sides of argument and use the one that helps you to get what you want depending upon the situation.

[@tintin7500]

I really love your video!!! See you the soonest on your next episode!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@roy.shrestha]

You should do more videos like this ❤️

[@counterclockwiseemu8447]

Awesome first video! I hope to see more like it in the future. You earned a sub :).

[@triocha24]

I do feel like I could always relate to Joe… FBI relax … 😂

[@Wire.scientist]

Are you a psych student? This is a thorough analysis on one of my favourite character ...please do an analysis on Dexter

[@nivsason8148]

excellent vid learned a lot most definitely will give it a second watch thank you !

[@instrumentaldude8349]

No one is talking about Penn's acting talent here. When I watch the series I only think...man that guy can act. Offcourse his character is smart and very dangerous. Hell even a mafia boss can't bring down Joe...wich shows how unpredictable he can be. Don't mess with this guy. But the thing that stands out for me is how Penn brings this character to life. Such a great actor. And he has such a great face and jawline to portray this character. He can be nice in one moment and evil in the next second.

[@HarshSingh-rz9rl]

Please please make more videos like this bcoz u r really good at this 👄

[@bunmitella9672]

Can’t we make these points without glamorizing dark triad personalities? Some of u need to experience these people in real life.

[@catraaa5261]

I feel like I'm learning to be a murderer now

[@isaachernandez4562]

so clear and thorough

[@carrie_heart]

Joe really is good at reading people and I think that's why he let Will go, he knew deep down that Will wouldn't rat him out. As messed up as he is, he's an excellent judge character.

[@knifetricks4373]

Great video, you should make a video about dexter morgan as well.

[@hh-fr9gi]

i think rule #2 is really tricky. people are more complex than these stereotypes Joe fits them in. You cant judge a person from their external actions (esp. from just one glance) and assume their internal intentions.

Thank you so much for the video.

[@Beefisthenics]

Was anyone else on joes side the whole time

[@thatomalemela9774]

Admin, you are very good.

[@vague9194]

As a writer this info is gold!

[@sonicobsessions947]

Ah thanks! My first actual lesson on becoming joe goldberg

[@zay4510]

What’s crazy and kinda scary is my personality is so similar to Joe’s. As she was describing him in the beginning there my heart started beating fast as if she was describing me. He literally has all the characteristics of an Aquarius Sharp as a tack, naturally charming, deep, friendly but sometimes cold vibe, has everyone figured out, only speaks when necessary or provoked, has a deep care for loved ones behind the cold exterior, and very observant

[@VE11]

Check out the INTJ personality MBTI

[@porkerpete7722]

You're the definition of "Wow! That's so me!" Glamourising what you think is tactical about you, and acting as if your faults are cool and edgy. Foh

[@ghostedpt]

Obviously joe is a bad dude but I really admire his conversation skills and his quick wittiness

[@dashingdecentkhan]

really liked the series, the self talking voice overs like shekspear dramas and house of cards are awesome.

[@juanalonso4753]

I thought me and joe were nothing alike and watching is making me reconsider 😑

[@dummyfarm]

If you come back, please analyse Raymond Reddington

[@janaris97]

This is exactly what Dan would have thought as gossip girl, being beside people he claims to care for while sabotaging them.

[@frypper1125]

Keep up with the good content

[@angelvargas2257]

Ain’t no way this the only video you have 😭😭

[@kelleynele]

great analysis. he’s an INFJ, that’s why he’s a social genius

[@BellsGAfanTV]

I was looking for this comment! Joe most definitely strikes me as an INFJ! (An unhealthy one at that, but an INFJ through and through)

[@kelleynele]

@@BellsGAfanTV you’re absolutely right
