Jordan Peterson: How to Gain Self-Respect

[@TheBreamer999]

Fantastic speech. 54 and still learning as I go.

Taking his advice will elevate your confidence and your life. easier said than done . To actually implement these teachings is the hard part. takes a lot of backbone

[@sexybeast7728]

[@fierto]

That’s what he’s saying, you’ll get backbone once you start doing it:) just start with telling someone you disagree with him/her. Even if you dont have good arguments yet You’ll feel so proud of yourself.

[@mark092600]

Sure, it's hard. What matters is doing it anyway. That's the point and it's where self-respect is found.

People are telling me that Jordan is insane and that I shouldn’t listen to him but I keep seeing videos like this that are insanely full of wisdom.

Only simple minded people think he is actually insane. He is on a different level of intelligence that they cant understand.

[@Noctem0wl]

Maybe they got triggered by some things he said.

[@arihelsgfx4353]

i think people just don’t know how to filter what resonates and leave what doesn’t. when you hear this amount of truth wrapped up in 7 minutes of your life that you are not ready to live up to, it’s easier to label the person insane because then you can discard the whole person and your problem of you having to face the truth they just served gets discarded with it. and that is a dose of truth right there!!! me: 🤓🍿 🎥 watching people not face the truth and praying for grace and courage to face it myself 😂🙏🏽

Having Dr. Peterson as a prof has been life-changing. He rose to fame in a time in which the modern world needs people like him the most. I recently wrote a spoken word on my channel with a lot of his teachings and philosophies. I think we need to spread his message as much as we can in order to redirect our collective mindset. Thank you for all you do Dr. Peterson.

Being true to yourself by simply speaking the truth and being willing and able to doggedly defend what you say, IS how to retain self respect. To return to the same (and set it in stone internally), is how one can regain self respect once you have thrown it away.

[@10001willy]

I've been watching Jordan Peterson's lessons and videos for almost 5 years now and the person I was when I first started compared to who I am now are truly worlds apart. I used to have such a hard time communicating what I wanted to. I always had an Idea but I could never articulate that idea or the point behind it. Now, I still struggle, either because I'm not smart or my ideas are very complex, but I've had enough practice to be able to say what I want to and to focus on the big picture and the main point at hand. I owe a great deal to Jordan Peterson, not just for helping me break out of that shell, but in a lot of aspects in my life as well. Thank you Dr. Peterson.

[@afivey]

[@highestsettings]

If you're unwilling to speak the truth because you're afraid you may die, then fair enough. But if the threat of violence is all it takes to silence the truth then we're all fucked. I'm likely to never really be in a situation where the words I say will put me at any real risk, mostly because I don't have a wide enough reaching voice, but also because I don't really know anybody that would attack me for something I say. I couldn't tell you if I would do it or not, I don't want to die so I really don't know what I would do. I'd like to think I'd stand up for what I believe in if push came to shove. It doesn't matter though, it doesn't matter if you wont either. All I'm saying is, if nobody spoke the truth, then everybody suffers. If you die standing up for what you believe in, trying to make the world a better place, then you're a better person than most. We're all going to die, at least you can use it.

[@bubbalee7105]

Great advice for anyone of any age from Dr.Peterson. We must stand up for something or fall for ANYTHING! Everyone of us will have critics. It goes with being alive and standing up for the truth. I wish all college campuses would invite this man to speak.

[@ZiemniakPospolity]

Now I understand why I always commented and still comment so much on the internet, every day 2-5 comments with my own opinion about something. I see sometimes my old comments and I see how I developed since then. I was always afraid of writing sth stupid, but the curiosity about knowing if I'm right or wrong was to strong and now thanks to Mr. Peterson I'm happy it went this way. It could be good to use this rule also in my real life. I do it sometimes but mostly I lose because I just try to find the truth and want to think about different things for a bit longer to find a right argument. For an argument it takes mostly too long. But at least I learn something.

[@AnaMostafamahmoud]

It's amazing when you look back to the times you told the truth and how you felt, you'll find the outcome is good or at least acceptable, it's the fact that a lot of us find it very hard to say the truth so the way we say it is usually the problem, when you go through some experiences you learn to tell the truth easily without holding a lot and it will show you a lot about your own little world you live in, that time you feel something uncomfortable or missing from your life it's most probably something about the truthful part of your life. of course the first step is to be truthful to yourself

[@JosephBockarie-kb5fl]

Most of the time when I tell the truth it leads to an arguement

[@lesliewheeler7071]

I really admire his strength to be speak his truths. He is being 100% authentic. I am striving to be 100% authentic. Jordan Peterson stated, "...sharpen yourself up. The enemy is like a cloud - they're a cloud of gnats; they are only courageous in groups. They're only courageous in mobs. If you stand your ground and don't apologize and articulate things properly, they'll disperse around you like they're not even there. So, most of it's illusion, so don't be... be afraid, but be afraid of the right thing. And the right thing you should be afraid of is not saying what you say cause that's the same as not being. And here you are, suffering away. You might as well BE at the same time because at least there is something to you, so...". Thank you for your authenticity, Jordan Peterson. Your words help to give me the strength to strive to be 100% authentic!!!

[@maxtamang9028]

I therapied myself and i hit a wall on "why dont i respect myself"? So when i found this video i realized i was a pathological liar hence no one respects me.

If u do make promises u follow it to the end. That's what truth does!

I know what to say but am not articulate and coherent in my verbal speech and thus sound like someone who does not know what to say. This comes from a phenomena where my thought race fast and I am able to see a certain situation from several perspectives and how each can evolve and by the time I am about to speak, I already see a different outcome so I just stop and sound like "ahh...", "Ehh..." However, just like everything else in life. It is a skill that needs to be practiced and developed. I am conscious and self-aware enough to understand my improvement nowadays compared to several years back. Good video.

[@LenaEKul]

I saw this speech at the start of 2019. Unfortunately I didn`t remember the full context, but tried to reminisce what he was teaching and preaching. The pathalogical side of me was present in my life more woefully at that time, and what I remembered him talking about was that "nothing you do matters" "you are a speck of dust" and "what difference does it have what I say and do?". As spoked, it sounded terrifically convenient and easy-going. A global, full pictured truth about being another flawed individual. A kind of escape land from day-to-day stupdidity and hardship. So, for a long time I have been on a nihilistic, half-brained path, not doing my thinking right. Now I have learned the darkness of that fram of mind. I became the more ugly and weak version of my self, even if I were weaker before, nevertheless I chose to weaken my stronger sense of self. So yes, I have not lived up to my usual high moral standard, because I wanted a free ticket to the pleasent in life. Living with meaning is not something to be ambivalent about. The shame and guilt caused by poor judgment may eventually harm every aspect of your life with how you present yourself and behave. Plus the embarrement and consequence of being less than what you already are and have been. I think I took myself and my own initial goodness for granted beforehand, and therefore saw the new persepctive as somewhat vaulable of the other perspectives it presented me. As in; as if I was looking for reasoning to continue or not continue. The final conclusion of my odd teenage angst is; Either you do what you know is for the better and good of humankind and the future, or you become self-obsessed and righteous about your pathology and nihilsm.

[@silence8875]

[@SuperGreatSphinx]

We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and - in spite of True Romance magazines - we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely - at least, not all the time - but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don't see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.

[@jameskliewer5809]

Key point right at the start: I was teaching a church class of 16 yr. old boys last year, and I asked them if they were free to do anything they wanted. Of course they were not free to do hardly anything, according to their responses. I countered that everything they do is a product of freedom. Their concept of freedom was bound up with the consequences of their actions, and they had difficulty separating the free act from the consequences of the act. For them, freedom meant being able to make decisions without consequences. How vapid! Would you honestly want to make decisions/do things that were most rewarding to you when nothing resulted? Wow; I would feel as if I had disappeared, or as if I was a spirit floating around in the world without ever touching the world. I asked them what kept them from walking out the door of the classroom and never again seeing their families. The consequences of the action were what kept them from walking out. Yet they had no idea what the consequences of the action would be, or could be. I told them about my grandfather and my father-in-law. My grandfather left a stable home at age 14, became a cabin boy on a triple-masted schooner, joined the British army in South Africa during the Boer War, worked in oil fields in California and Texas, and owned his own muffler factory in East Texas. My father-in-law left a stable home at 14, worked on the King Ranch in Texas, as well as on a shrimp boat, and joined the Army around 1932. He was a Master Sergeant when his Company landed on Omaha Beach on D-Day, and he was in charge of that Company before they got to the beach, after a shell hit the landing craft, killing both of the officers aboard. He waded ashore and was one of 3 of those 72 who was still around at the end of the war, as part of Patton's infantry. He fought again in Korea, and retired from the Army. Those were consequential lives. Throughout all of history, every single person has been free to do whatever he willed to do; the only thing that prevents enacting that free will is the fear of the unknowable consequences.
