"We suffer more in imagination than we do in reality" - Seneca

[@Luke-kj1rj]

If only peterson could make a terse point like this

[@davidoneill2949]

My dear Lucilius we are more often frightened than hurt. And we suffer more from imagination than in reality.

[@shockingdocumentaries4255]

That’s not always true. There’s a reason words like “denial” exist. That ‘cliché’ doesn’t factor in the fact that bad things do happen. The worse part is the re-victimization of people in denial saying it’s not so bad. It’s easier too face those feelings in order to see if those fears are legit. Sound bites sound good on t-shirts, but don’t work for EVERYONE, ALL the time. Especially if they require you to pretend ALL fear is invalid as is if things like death, sickness, and discrimination don’t exist. Some people don’t have the “luxury” of pretending their life isn’t a nightmare. Those who do end up co-dependent alcoholic, rage-aholics, and telling people with problems “it’s their imagination”. That’s the same mentality used to deny people care. And the same excuse working poor people use to scream at disabled panhandler’s “get a job”. Thus misdirecting their frustrations on a marginalized person they are pretending to help, with abuse. If this thought helps you fine, that’s cool. Whatever works. However in order to feel positively inspired, I personally benefit by dealing with situations on a case-by-case basis. Finding things I can believe in. For example, this entity may be denying me services because of discrimination that existed before me, but with the law, common sense, decency, and the court of ‘public opinion’ on my side, it’s just a matter if I’m going to get my needs met the easy way or the hard way as I go over my head. The people who ignore the proof I have don’t seem better off for the denial. In fact that seem to me worse off mentally. Their denial has made them emotionally volatile, screeching holler monkeys.

I'm 35. I found jordan peterson 4 years ago. When I was going thru a tough time. I was homeless, jobless with no hope or direction. Since then I've found my passion.

Bravo! Maybe I, and many others, can achieve assertiveness too. It's no way to live by other people's whims. Being flexible and agreeable is an awesome disposition, I like that about myself. However, constantly sacrificing in a way that looses yourself for others, is a dismissal way to exist.

If you are suffering from procrastination, its definitely a fear, something has scared you (criticism so intense that its paralyzed your judgements). Its crazy how you have to start little by little to gain confidence in yourself again, by doing small things to completion AND telling yourself that you did a good job. Overcoming these negative thoughts/criticisms is the key skill to mastering your reactions to criticism and your environment (negative, hostile). May Gods love be with us all.

[@pawelzabicki7785]

Definitely not, it’s not that simple, especially when you take ADHD into account.

[@poultry1977]

Definitely what happened to me . I have buck teeth and since I was little it never bothered me at all . Until middle school when ppl would call them out or call me names like “squirrel “ “beaver “ so yeah my confidence absolutely plummeted and I’ve been so insecure searching for flaws …. I got anxiety so bad I started to depart from my family because even around them I had anxiety as if they were judging me . I’m now 20 and for the past few months I’ve been really focused on my mental health and it’s been getting way better …. I can now walk into a store with less fear of being judged or talk to people without feeling judged (still have anxiety but slowly fading ) I think cutting off a lot of bad habits and really focusing on how your mind works REALLY helps overcome stuff like that . Doing small things like cleaning your room , going for a run , working out , stopping drugs or liquor or self pleasure like jerking off or really focusing on your future and being productive everyday definitely helps in the long run … if u have bad anxiety or are depressed please give what I said a shot 🙏🏾 I promise theres no other feeling of seeing your mental health progress and finding who u truly are and if you’re suicidal please try a mental health journey , I used to wake up with daily thoughts of suicide because I felt like a failure and the feeling of life problems overweighted me . I know most suicidal people don’t want to die , they just want to live . Live a life that isn’t so stressful or overwhelming so I encourage anyone who has suicidal thoughts please try a mental health journey and think as positive as possible …. Give urself a patt in the back over big and little achievements and give yourself compliments like “ you did great today “ “ I’m glad you tried “ things like that . I Know it’s hard but at the end it will be worth finding yourself … much love to you all ❤️

[@benmoore5168]

Amen, by gods love I think it’s important for the American people to reeducate on the importance of fables in society, such as the holy Bible. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, google Aesops Fables and find the link from the “original internet archive” then open up a notebook and start writing down what you take from it. God isn’t about convincing yourself to sell your soul to a god. It’s about having faith in god and his goodness that allows you a easier road to have faith in yourself. Religion is just the modern man’s word for a fable. Something to believe in and in return themselves.

[@JohnWilliams-channel]

Mental health is the ability to negotiate with and navigate in reality in good humor. It is not seeking escape through addiction. It is not soothing the ego with delusion. It is simply looking forward to the day when you wake up and being curious about things you don't understand yet.

[@Zebra66]

Best advice I heard from Peterson is that thinking about yourself makes you depressed. When I get depressed now I try and think about my family and do something nice for them. When I'm alone I practice thinking about nothing, or something useful (like learning a skill). It makes a huge difference. I'm 100% convinced that depression (that isn't caused by a physical health problem) is created by our thoughts. And... we have more control over our thoughts than we think....

[@gloriakurkowski101]

Very true. I remember a quote from somewhere that goes like this, "As you thinketh, so you are." Sounds right on point. If you're surrounded by family that constantly impacts you with negativity and neglect, your life seems to be just as you were drilled into believing it.

Growing up as a teen in the 80’s, I can reflect on how much was just common sense back then. We all understood individuals had emotional strengths and weaknesses. Second Dr. Peterson gave a remarkable example of how psychologists or therapists use to work with patients to help control their mental illness. Now all these doctors do is ask specific questions in order to hop you up on the latest psychiatric drugs. All society does now is make you feel special to be a victim. So the trend is to be a victim not mentally tough.

Well, all I can say is I used to have a big problem with depression. I tried supplements, herbs, and psychology, but the only thing that brought me lasting relief was self deliverance in Jesus' name. In my situation, the depression was mainly a spiritual problem.

[@aurograce2983]

My boyfriend suffers from depression and anxiety. Once I brought him to a church service hosted by the nearby college and he walked out half way through and wanted to bang his head against a wall and he was very upset. All these people worshipping and talking about the good things God has done and he couldn't handle it because he was still in a very bad place. I was not equipped to help him and he left and a lady came and prayed with me after. Do you think this was caused by demons acting up inside him (like making him want to bang his head against a concrete wall and not being able to stand praises to God) or a physical manifestation of the deep despair of his soul in the presence of a hope he didn't have?

[@AI-ch3if]

​@@aurograce2983 Maybe both? I can't say for sure what's going on with your boyfriend, but I worked at a prison, there were many inmates who were cutting themselves and otherwise self-harming, and I do believe this has a demonic root. In the Bible there is a story about a demoniac living in a graveyard who was cutting himself, and Jesus delivered him of Legion and then he was normal.

I am trying to be proactive when I recognize signs but I have not mastered keeping myself out of depression. It's so comforting to stay wrapped in bed and not let people hurt you. I am also managing impulse and anger issues at the same time. I have to pull myself up and out by myself because no one but a counselor is able to help me.

Whatever stage you're at is right for this time in your life. If you find its time to change then realize adrenalin in your body is interpreted by your expectation and desire.

But I cant keep following adrenaline signals because I have fight or flight responses and mostly its caused by fear and panic that are percieved but not always real.

The big five test helped me understand that in almost every personality dimension, I am naturally at the extremes. Understanding this has brought me to seek more balance that has done wonders for my mental health, despite struggling with overcompensation in that process. I'm exceptionally high in openess and exceptionally low in consciousness, I'm in the process of developing balance and and more aware of my tendency to overcompensate and I'm successfully avoiding overcompensation. I'm naturally exceptionally agreeable, and learned very well to stand up for myself, but I overcompensated very much in that process, but have overcome that and I am now much more balanced in that regard. I'm exceptionally high in nueroticism, and learned to not take myself too seriously in order to be more vulnerable to joy, but again I overcompensated and had to overcome that overcompensation in order to take myself seriously enough to move ahead in life. Extraversion is the only dimension that has always been balanced for me, except that the extremes in other dimensions have caused challenges in socialization and not always allowed me to express my extraversion in a healthy way. So yeah, personality has a huge impact on mental health.

When the office gets disorganized, when the unexpected happens and people are thrown out of their comfort zone, when it's time to improvise to get us out of deep sh*t, I virtually always emerge as a leader. I was like that even when I had no experience whatsoever, so it's not experience. I wonder if you think there's an element of truth to that idea.

your comment reminds me of the meaning behind the film melancholia, except in the film the reference point is depression

Thanks for your service an understanding of complex issues in a pallatable way. You are a great story teller. So refreshing. Blessings to you and yours.

jordan peterson is a putin owned chaos agent and a psychopath, is putin paying you or are you acting against your own interests for free because you have been brainwashed by russian reflexive control ?

[@Scaredycat55]

What a great Teacher, very refreshing and rewarding to discover your program on YT. Really able to sort out a lot of the static Interference that manifests while battling severe chronic pain, ptsd, depression. You have such a great grasp on the mind and how to reshape it to save the Person. Thank you so very much Prof. Jordan Peterson and God Bless

[@albertrodriguez1923]

We saw Dr. Peterson a couple of months ago in Florida and my life has changed for the positive ever since. I highly recommend going to see him. Thanks for all you do Doc.

[@kennygold217]

I noticed when I further myself away from discipline I noticed on how dark my mind takes me and that's because I have been away from my discipline in my mind thinks it can mess with me cuz I'm really not strong yet but with the wisdom from this man I think I can win this battle

[@gypsysoul4994]

Thank you! Awe, Ms Peterson is a sweetie!! I cannot wait to meet JP in May! 🎉

[@maryhill813]

Hi everyone. I was diagnosed with bipolar 1 and I had psychosis. I was in and out the hospital 5-6 times in one month. I don't do drugs and I was never diagnosed with any mental health issues as a kid until recently. I was never depress or anything. I've learned a lot through my mental health journey. It took me almost a full year to recover mentally. I have not been taking any medications for a couple months. I would like to help anybody that wants my help because I believe that anybody can fully recover without medication. I was hearing voices in my head, seeing things that weren't there, and going through manic depression but I am fully recover.

[@ghassenelloumi3086]

I learned from watching this and I very much enjoyed it. Thank you mister Jordan you're my favourite mentor ❤ already read your books and spent hundreds of hours watching you speak on KZbin and yet you never run out of things to teach me. Man you're incredible.

[@Portlandpeeps]

Your the father like voice in my head, you answer the questions IV been struggling to know what is the path of least resistance on a moral level socially in today's world with 3 kids to teach. Thank you so much

[@Marciethelegendary8]

I'm just so overwhelmed with gratitude and love for this man. He is the very antithesis of condemnation. He has the ability to see a pinprick of light in a human soul where others might only see darkness.

[@chuglyc]

Fantastic advice. I can’t find anything negative in his messages. He seems so deeply concerned about helping people make improvements in their lives.

[@ItinerarySweat]

Amazing work God Bless you

[@laurensouthgate2458]

Ienjoyed this and i really hope to see more.

[@nicolaulucala]

His capacity of dissecting quit obvious subjects is outstanding.

[@joeykostyk8765]

Very well put together perspective. It has helped me greatly. Thanks for giving your logical perspective on tattooing and creativity as well. It would be an honor to hear more on your experiences with the tattooed. It's always been weird to even think that I'm a tattooed person and how many tattoos I have. I'm only a human that loves to collect art so dearly that I'll try to take it to the grave with me. Cheers, bud!

[@marnieoloughlin9366]

Thank you for your wisdom and delivery! It's your delivery that makes the difference! There's always compassion in your voice no matter what you're speaking about there is compassion there. ...even if its just compassion for us to hear what we don't know. I can't explain it...your tone is passionate & decisive like you are excited and determined to school us. You put yourself in the individual....it's priceless & Gemini style!!❤

[@SecretMind2000]

I appreciate the positivity in your content. It's vital to create a supportive environment for those struggling with mental health issues. Keep up the fantastic work! 🌟

[@Romeolives619]

Thank you, I know I'm just screaming at the wind but then you for helping me understand myself a little bit better.

[@KingdomMessenger35]

Jordan! There is different about you, It's in your voice,in your comment and your disposition,it appears that perhaps you are truly at peace with yourself, It's really nice to see...

[@DJC3PO]

When he was saying that creative people will have those traits and the audience laughed.. his "I did a study" right afterward was priceless.. because you just know that tone is: "well shit, they think I am joking. I am going to have to drop this truth bomb now".

[@snowman4098]

What a human ! You're welcome Dr. J ! Thank you, Tim

[@fabricegorgeon5325]

Thanx once more to Jordan Peterson to give us ways to better our patience to deal with the promises in control loss of random magnitude offered by our world, and therefore tools to get involved (or to withdraw, if we feel our implementations are toxic) in the societal change it is seeing.

[@breatheinlife]

Thank you Dr Peterson How wonderful and open you are to sharing valuable information otherwise afforded by a few

[@imranbutt9630]

This is my first full one and i am really glad to be here.

[@debbiewood3819]

Beautiful!...chaotic room/ house, makes me anxious....organize, habitable order, recreation of my original Eden... I love Dr Peterson's UTube's...thank you Tammy for being his wife, for your abilities. Your Faith...thank you, both...

The whispering exchange with your wife was heartwarming. This made my whole day. I'm smiling now.

The magnificent dr. Peterson ! Thank you from the heart, with great respect !

[@donduckensen441]

Dr JP reminds me to try to be a better person then I was yesterday . Ty

[@xkiller007x8]

Love this man truly… wish I could speak to him just once in my life, sadly I feel either him or I will pass long before that opportunity ever arises.

[@VforVolunteer]

Yeah! Totally same here! If he only could know how he really saved my life! Just to say thank you to him from the bottom of my heart for all these free videos containing incredible insights, easy to apply tips that really make a huge difference and last but not least all those great advices in even so many different areas of life! I quit local psychology therapy after 8 or 9 years because it totally wasn't going anywhere anymore. It made me feel unheard, not taken serious and frustrated. So I quit and shortly after I quit, I felt really lost and alone. But one day, out of the clear blue sky and as I truly believe a miracle, I opened up KZbin and out of nowhere Dr. Jordan Peterson appeared! I watched one video of him and immediately felt heard, understood, uplifted, motivated and much stronger. So in general very happy! All in all: When times are really utterly dark, not only Dr. Jordan Peterson taught me the benefits of pushing on, he even taught me why times are sometimes utterly dark and he even taught me how to practically push on. So somehow he gave me value again and I really feel a much completer and much stronger man because of his teachings. And for that I'm very extremely grateful and he has a special place in my heart! So by this way, Thank You Dr. Jordan Peterson! 👏👏😎👍

[@MissAmberlee1]

Makes sense of everything I cannot express coherently.

[@carolbutler4512]

He is truly blessed with spiritual knowledge and understanding like none other in these times I'm truly grateful for him❤

[@rogfusionkid]

I love this guy, we need more people like JBP helping us all to have better lives. I'm not sure if he's right about everything, but it makes sense to me & I'm trying to do some of these things. I need to pull myself out of my own personal hell & I have to do it by myself because I know I'm the only person that cares.

[@rkl3692]

Thank you so much JP for making me put a name on my behaviour... neuroticism. When I first learnt to turn on the computer, I was like gosh, that's enough for today. Still fighting the dragon. Hope to be okay one day.🙏

[@gamingduo7045]

Dear Jordan thank you so much for being in this life🙏🙏🙏🙏 changed my life

[@phoenyxrose3731]

Something about his voice that allows you to be able to listen to him for ages ☺️ definitely helps that he's so chill and has a sense of humour 👌🏼

[@MsQ275]

that was very helpful ❤️🙏

[@mariettestabel275]

How to escape from a sick society? Stay close to yourself. Protect yourself. Think for yourself.

[@lcox6468]

Jordan is a blessing….. please listen it is about self respect, respecting other and having self discipline.Amen. ( I am not religious).

[@ninabambinabambina2304]

I was watching a video by Marissa Peer on You Tube. She interviewed a list of celebrities & the one common trait or characteristic they all had was their complete & utter faith & belief that they would make it & they did.

[@gofaonepaul]

Thanks again for the words of wisdom, Dr Peterson. You mentioned that organising our rooms is like recreating the lost garden of Eden. Afterwards, you contextualised the remark by saying you are speaking metaphysically. I can't wrap my head around why that act or the referenced story/idea describes something metaphysical rather than just being a statement on ethics. I thought the closest we are to metaphysics is physics.

[@carterlane3039]

Great work Mr Peterson

[@JoeySkate24]

Thank you. I thought that we cannot shift and change and be on "normal ranges". There is hope! :)

[@dustinhughey2313]

There are seemingly endless observations to be made about Dr. Peterson. I suppose the direction we take of him within our own conceptualization can potentially be described as idiosyncratic. As for my observation of this communication, I always find it refreshing that despite his knowledge of the subject matter coupled with his “success” (and I say that respectfully), he is willing to start from the beginning of the suffering, or pain of others. That is critical. He establishes how we can move beyond what he considers nontrivial circumstances, and expounds on how working on the solutions necessary to overcome them are limitless. His approach seems to me as all encompassing for not only myself, but a worthy reference for others I know who could use his form of understanding as a platform for personal development. Thank you Dr. Peterson.

[@paulaclark7989]

The nature vs nurture debate. Decades on and it's still an unanswered question. Somethings never change. I'd rather just accept how people are- without questioning it.

[@squeakypistonproductions2228]

He dodged the question. Obviously the majority of mental health and especially severe mental health is genetic. He basically spent the whole response talking about the temptations of personalities.
