Having your feelings used to control your behaviour. Person trying to please the other is not love. it's begging for some respite from anger of parent who lets you know you were not wanted.

HOLY CRAP, YODA GOT IT RIGHT!!! "Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering."

[@LadyAsh27]

This is happening now. 2021. Fear of Covid 19. Anger for those making this about shot vs. No shot. Which lead to hate, because they feel like they have to choose a side.

[@Writeous0ne]

Yeah one of the main problems is being offended when someone starts a dialogue. You need to be able to listen and speak without taking offence to a contrary opinion.

[@Apple_Teck]

Depends on the conversation and the objective; in most situations, I would say you are correct, however in other situations I do believe it does matter who’s right. Your approach and patience should change/ increase depending on the importance of the conversation. It’s all about knowing your audience and refining your presentation. Ultimately, its not about “winning” just planting a seed.

[@Alphacentauri819]

@@Apple_Teckthe problem is, most people believe they are "right" based on their own unquestioned cognitive distortions, biases, "filters" that create their version of "reality". Awareness, and seeking deeper understanding, of self and others, is way more important than being right. In emergencies, of course, action is needed...and we can only hope the "right" action is taken based on knowledge, experiences and skill, at that time. This is a highly imperfect world, much uncertainty and unpredictability...and many people need an answer, belief, to cling to. To challenge that, is often a perceived threat to their survival. To be able to support and understand that, and hear them compassionately, is the way to allow space for deeper understanding. That's foundational.

[@99desi9n]

"If a person gets locked in the idea that they should be able to control the outcome, the emotions will never get out of them and they will be semi-constipated emotionally life-long"

[@jaket5751]

It continues to lodge itself in your body and reappears down the road as disease and disorder within the body. Emotion code is a good one on this.

[@mariusleroy8895]

Jake Timm So to avoid this should i just tell someone How i feel? Like someone says ” Hahah you thought i wanted to be your friend” - maybe a bad example anyways... Should i just answer with ” I feel sad when you say that to me”? I feel like the other person wont respect me If i act like a victim?

[@MegaTrivial]

[@starlaks588]

This is the only video on being assertive that I can actually say I learned something from and can practice the techniques. Thank you soooooo much. I shared this with family. Such a great and effective video!

[@Atlanta718]

1. You are good #enough 2. Practice being #assertive (posture, language, eye contact ) and share how you feel 3. #Actively #listen to the other person by paraphrasing (yes,no, clarify -> validate -> acknowledge )

[@diamondbrightxxx7531]

I grew up seeing my parents fight a lot. When my mom would get mad, the whole house energy would shift to sadness and tension. My mom had six kids to take care of so I can understand it was hard. My dad also worked a lot to put food on the table. They were both busy. I saw my mom disrespect my dad. She called us names too. I am sure my dad was not so innocent. After 30 years they are together but they still fight trying to score points. I don't want to be like them. Thanks sir for this video.

[@kothapallyarun]

Informative videos like these is why I love KZbin and the Internet! Thanks a lot Jef.

[@nissamelton8597]

Arun Kothapally I agree! It’s the information I wish was taught in school.

[@tedeohifi]

Normally I don't comment, but in this case I must. Jeff, I am 38 years old amd have spent the last 19 years of my life in a mental cage of passivity that I was unable to break free of until I stumbled upon your video while looking for leadership training. I can't thank you enough. I had completely accepted my life as it was, and accepted that every interaction I had with others would be a burden to carry. There's hope again because of you. Thank you thank you!!

[@NoahAustin4real]

Im only 15 and im really trying to be assertive. Im very mature and respectful but sometimes the tone of my voice makes it seem like im being rude. This did all begin from family problems and when I figured this out I spent a year trying to control these emotions. I really love listening to Tony Robbins as well and have been since I was 11

[@tilly012011]

Noah Give yourself a break. Non of us is perfect. who ever love will love who ever don't love you, there is nothing that can change how they feel about you. love yourself and know no matter your mistakes you are loveable. God loves you no matter what!

[@MedievalFantasyTV]

You are in the right path, and you are lucky to be smart. When I was 15 I was utterly "lost" and confused, and I did not know where to look for answers. We didn't have internet back then. Consider yourself lucky.

[@gperson1967]

If people think you are being rude, then you are not quite being respectful. Part of respect is keeping the other person’s wishes in mind. Think of how they would like to hear what you have to say. This includes facial expression and tone of voice. Being flexible and accommodating in this way will make your communication work. It’s compromise. Which means you won’t be entirely happy with doing this. But they may not be entirely happy to hear your statement so it is fair. Good luck btw, I have the same problems!

[@paolav9295]

Congratulations, you really are a very mature young man indeed, recognizing the problem is half of the solution. Learning assertiveness will help you not only to better communicate with your family, but to cope with all kind of challenges in life in the best healthy way.

[@tanyastevens9553]

We are accountable for our own actions. How others view us is their business even, after we are using effective communication skills. Being effective, assertive and respectful is sometimes difficult but, through love it is rewarding. Putting ourselves above others is love regardless of how others see us or view us.

[@catharinamariatheresia1626]

My mom always told me to become more assertive. I realise now, I always was. I always told lovingly, without blaming, how I felt and what I needed. The problem was, she simply did not listen or starting questioning or making me doubt myself. There is only one person who really believed in me for 32 years, my aunt. Without her, and my dear mentor from University who is still my friend on my path, I could not have beenmwhere I stand today. Thank you for your video and peaceful energy and explanation.

[@marywolfe7293]

This is very true. I have suffered a lot of abuse and I held it in my body. Now, I have fibromyalgia and books I have on it talk a lot about getting touch with anger issues. I also suffer depression, which is anger turned inward. Thanks for the video. I wish this was taught in school or somewhere because this stuff comes up a lot. I have a sister who likes to take out her frustrations out on me because she is not happy with her life, weight, or her marriage. Of course, I cannot do anything about her issues but I need good boundaries around her because I don't need to be her emotional punching bag.

[@indigohealers6987]

#metoo Fibromyalgia started in my late teens, and I have had to learn to process trauma based repressed emotions. Neutralizing triggers too. No Contact works most effectively with family who don't respect boundaries.

[@blaqueknight]

Wow! Thank you very much for sharing. You sound like my wife. You give me much to think about and eventually act on. I hope you get better.

[@shine2678]

What if I remain alone by being assertive?

[@a.m.215]

@@shine2678 I am not assertive enough I think, but there were situations that I was able to show assertiveness. And surprisingly, I was more respected, more wanted, and even more loved.

[@joshuanun8192]

Same here.

[@Mik-rs3xv]

It doesn't always work when one or both parties are mean and want to hurt the other. It works when one or both have good intentions.

[@sunnieonesotrue5868]

What I think does work, even with people who want to control and diminish us, is the feeling of self respect that we can carry forward from having been a mature adult person in the process of asserting oneself. This will release much of the stuffed pain, without attacking.

[@jessieelms]

I needed to hear this because I am surrounded by adults who have bashed and criticize me since childhood. Especially my mother. I realize she was doing the best she could but when I need everyone the most no one was there to help me pick up the pieces and a year later they’re all acting so nice

[@rhg624]

Amazing video. I suffer a lot by being too passive and timid. It's just so easy for anyone to manipulate me most of the time.

[@shalomjoseph5125]

Thank you. This video helps a lot in understanding proper English communication. Being an immigrant in Canada, Its often difficult to convey the message the right way without being seen as rude or patronizing. Where I am from, such polished interactions are seen as futile and it is necessary to be a little upfront and pushy. Psychology changes in a crowded society, we are raised to be a little insensitive, or else you would always be the last one on the table with nothing in your share. This video helps in changing to my current geographical psychology.

[@Noharm97]

Thank-You Jeff!! Great video!!

[@Apple_Teck]

When I’m in these type of situations, I normally just ignore the individual and consider the source. However, if they continue I then become assertive and try to get the issue resolved. Most of the time this strategy works; It mainly depends on the maturity & intelligence of the individual. Unfortunately, there are times when this approach does not work; their primarily feelings turn into anger and then become passive/ aggressive behavior.

[@heartwisdomlove]

energy is only thirty percent of a feeling love is a feeling all feelings are love feelings felt and received as love are emanated as love and spiritual blessing authentic feelings manifest spiritual wisdom i definitely need practice communicating!!! the interpersonal bridge, tone of voice, eye contact etc. activation of shame - very true !!! a dysfunctional family video?

Very helpful video in understanding why we make specific word choices while speaking. True change is much harder than just swapping the words, but I think its a good starting point. Going from out to in, as we try also at the same time the difficult task of inner change.

[@sagoo1346]

Assertive -- adult. Yeah, right. If only adults could act like adults...

[@jaket5751]

I think it's supposed to indicate the maturity level rather than the age. There are men who act like children. There are kids who act more mature than adults.
