Mr. Peterson, My parents abandoned me when I was 1yo. I lived with my grandparents. I grew up in a rural area and didn't get to socialize much. When I was 5 my mother and father came back into my life. My father was only around for a couple of weeks and then he met a woman with two kids and decided to start a new family with her. My mother joined the Army after only being around for a week and then was medically discharged after breaking her ankle. She moved to California after that. She met a man and I was going to go out there and live with my mom and her boyfriend died in a motorcycle accident. I stayed with my Grandparents till I was 10. My father rarely visited me and we lived in the same area. When my mother came back into town she met another guy and they settled down and got married. I went to live with them and my sister was born. My Grandpa died a couple of years later. When I was 15 I lived with my dad for a short while and he had another child with my stepmom. He got to the point he didn't want me around and we had got into an argument. He knocked me out so bad I didn't know where I was at, who I was, and anything that had happened to me for a couple of hours. I went back to live with my mom. Her and her husband were in the first stages of getting a divorce and my mom would leave and my stepdad would emotionally abuse me to take his anger out her. At the age of 17 I met a girl I moved in with to get away from all the terrible shit at either one of my parents houses. We got engaged and she cheated on me with my best friend. I left town and joined the military after that. Then around 24 I was married to my first wife and she cheated on me multiple times even though we had what seemed like a good relationship on the outside. I went my own way an then met another woman who was also in the military who after about 8 months into our relationship cheated on me with her command chief who was married. I once again did my own thing and was left with such a bad experience and lack of faith in the military that I got out after 10 years of service. I traveled the US and worked different places and finally met another woman. After a 3 1/2 year relationship she started seeing another guy me when we had separated for about 2 weeks. I have been betrayed, lied to, beaten, forgotten, and at several points almost took my life. I finally realized at the end of the day, that this is their eternity, they have set down. I tried to be a good person and do the right thing always and that is my eternity. I am finally at peace knowing everything that happened to me was not my fault. I am not fragmented, just scarred. I am grateful that there are heroes like you Mr. Peterson, and many others that were my guides through this terrifying and wonderful life of mine.

Women and men in our generation are different in this day and age... they lack the impulse and they have the impatience to pursue what’s meaningful, because to them it’s too difficult. Social media has made this world easier and it’s it to blame for.

[@rosegolden2039]

Connecting with people is much less meaningful because of the convenience factor technology provides. People wrap themselves in pools of digital security and feel they have nothing to lose. It's so easy to run and not look back because there are just so many possibilities, or so we think. In reality, I think if we really look back, we all wish we could have tried harder. It's so easy to give up on love when you can literally call or text or summon men/women online. What is there to lose? I wish people could ask what is there to gain?

[@LordDarthSmyth]

My friend (who just happens to be a shrink) had this talk tonight. My now ex girlfriend was constantly on every social media app out there. She posts a lot of selfies. Guys would constantly comment about how "hot" she looks and everything like that, even though it showed me as her BF on her profiles. There's no boundaries anymore. And as much as she said she didnt care about the likes and comments, I knew she thrived off it. Towards the end of the realtionship, one time when I was really letting it get to me, I blatantly told her, "All those dudes, talking about how hot you are, how they'd like to hook up, etc. They dont know you. They aint in for the long hall. They are all hit it and quit it dudes. They know the filtered you. Your filtered make up pictures. I know you. Ive seen you when your face is broke out. Ive seen you when you decide to go a day or two without shaving. I know you good mood, bad mood. And Im here. Im right here." I know i was/am not perfect, and I should have handled a lot of things different. But Im willing to work on those things. I was working on them. It has gotten harder once more, now that im really down, but Ima fight everyday to try and better myself for me and someone to possibly share my life with. Hopefully... Seems dim in these times though. Like you touched on, SM has taken the fight out of people. They are no longer willing to fight. After all the hot fitness instagram couples dont have to work on their realtionships. They are just perfect. ... Sorry just venting. Still fresh.

We all need to discuss love and define it better. Love is a choice. We each have the power to choose it on some level. It seems like people really believe that they are supposed to find love or "fall in love". Not the case. You can't trust fleeting hormonal feelings when you need a committed and understanding relationship. You have to create a definition of love and find a woman who is willing to accept your definition and you must accept hers. I did and I've been happily married for 5 years. Hardest years of my life, but no worthy thing will come easily.

JP isn't just some internet guru he's a pretty well respected academic. And sure some of his ideas may be a bit questionable but for the most part JP gives some pretty solid advice. Having a long term relationship and taking on responsibility is by far the easiest route to meaning for most people. And the lacking acknowledgement of this fact is probably one of the primary reasons for the amount of misery many western people experience despite our material wealth

[@SkeeNnN]

@J D well JP's advice really isn't political. Sure hes advice may align with the conservative ideology but I find that most useful advice is somewhat conservative since it implies that you have to take responsibility for yourself. Liberals blaming society for all their problems doesn't really allow the individual to do much other than be mad at its sorrundings which really isn't useful. I don't think JP suggests a one size fits all solution. But hes advice will work for the vast majority of the population. Sure some people felt trapped in the christian marriage and it might therefore not be the perfect solution for people who can find meaning in other aspects of life. But in general commiting to a long term romantic relationship is a really healthy life choice since it provides some sense of meaning in a chaotic world and seemingly meaningless existence.

"If you live completely outside the norm then people won't know what to do with you". Very, very true. But there are positives to living outside the norm - you don't have to live up to anyone's expectations other than your own, you follow your own compass & are basically totally autonomous in everything, you're free from judgement and from all the bleating the sheep will do when they perceive you doing something wrong. But more than likely you'll have to go it alone more often than not, if you can live with that then you're on easy street. A man does what he does for his own reasons - period.

Why didnt you like broken? I think it describes it very well and how it is, it means that you are damaged and in pain and are suffering. Fragmanted on the other hand fails to do so

[@aprilsparks1111]

@@dreamthedream8929 thanks for asking. It sounds like we could relate on what deep pain does to the soul. I suppose fragmented feels like a positive move up the emotional vibrational scale. I felt broken for a long time. fragmented feels possible to heal completely and even be a better version than I was before the pain (because I’m smarter and more experienced now). Broken felt like something was wrong with me beyond repair. Fragmented is like I have a new set of pieces to glue back together again…but the new me is better than the old me. It still hurts a lot to be fragmented, and it can take a long time and a lot of work, but healing is possible. Thriving is possible. I think I’m tired of acknowledging the pain, and am ready to embrace the newer upgraded version of myself. Somewhere through the pain, past the darkness is an experienced, wise, humbled, powerful, badass beautifully whole individual. 💎

Dr. Peterson, thank you for sharing the talk. i kind of figured out a happy person must have a trusted partner. As you said, have another brain to help to analysis situations or predict the outcome of a decision or an action.

I guess you are right.. she just left without even trying. And there I was thinking we were equally committed to this.

[@XthgiN]

that's not women, that's humans in general nowadays, cause we always see that through, for example, tinder and other apps as such you can easily find a new mate, that might fit even better i'd say the problem lies in the selftaught nature, that relationships usually are, most people aren't used to teaching something themselves and thus get overwhelmed i on the other hand try to solve issues and commit to a relationship cause i don't like gambling, i always lose, and starting a new relationship, even with the prospect of it being even better than before, it's still a gamble since i don't fully know the other person just to get back to the starting point: all humans currently suffer from overwhelming options and not knowing what to do, stumbling through relationship life, hoping it'll work itself out on a sidenote, there is no need for these specific relationships, all throughout history there have been people devoted to many a things (science for example) but none of them were relationships, and they even led very happy lives

[@hgzmatt]

@@XthgiN And yet with all these options people are more disconnected than ever. Cause we think we don't have to put the effort in if there is a new one around the corner? It's quite sad. I find it hard to make friends even cause they won't commit to spend enough time with you or would rather sit at home. When there is a conflict that's when you can make the connection even stronger and yet we choose to take the first exit. I feel like this is more true in large cities.. but I'm having a hard time going back to rural life. Once you have left, that connection is gone as well.

[@XthgiN]

@@hgzmatt first part is pretty much what i was saying, yeah making friends is another point entirely, since the situation you describe can be caused by many reasons, unless you know the reasons it's hard to see the option of change some people are overwhelmed with life, thus don't have the energy for much, even if you give them options these people actually could need some help from professionals to get more energy into their life just wanting to sit at home and not going out is fine too, you can always try to go for gaming, no need to go out if you don't feel like going i'm actually living in a large city, have been my whole life (so i guess you are kinda right), but i think at some point i wanna live a rural life, at least for some time, get the energy back up it's all about balance in life, and listening to yourself, what you need and care for

I do agree that in order to be "happy" you need to love yourself and find happiness within yourself and not in someone else, but I also disagree how men think all women will go and cheat on them. They clearly never met ace women who aren't even interested in sex and if they stay with you it's because of what's "inside" of you. The fact that many men and women choose partners that are prone to cheating is their fault. There are many unique people that aren't interested in sex, cheating and similar stuff you just have to look for them. Generalising ALL women and men as cheaters is stupid and unfair.

He doesn’t mean intimate relationships as romantic relationships. I’ve never had a romantic relationship nearly as fulfilling as many of my close friendships. He doesn’t mean “get a girlfriend because you’re invalid until you do”, he’s saying “have a friendship/romantic relationship/intimacy of some kind with someone you can trust to help you navigate your life,” ya dummies.

Brilliant just as Jordan Peterson was about to give us the solution/approach to the optimal amount of conflict the clip cuts. It’s the equivalent of taking the back page out of a who done it book. Does anyone know what the title of this lecture is taken from ?

[@essentialtruth2784]

The title of this video comes from 1:47:23 (Maps of Meaning 12: Final: The Divinity of the Individual). He says "[you] probably need an intimate relationship." In the editing process somehow this phrase got clipped.

[@AgeofMachines]

I like zero conflict situations myself.. Given attitudes and current laws in the U.S., not being in a relationship is as optimal as it can be.

[@LitoGeorge]

Nolan, that used to be my thought. Until you have dealt with, in person, with the powerlessness over another human in an intimate setting, you couldn't understand. Dealing with a mental illness in another who refuses to recognize it and it's relatively high functioning otherwise for example could literally too your life apart and hurt the most fragile and innocent of people: children. Grappling with this reality has left me wondering what the hell one can actually do. When professional help {multiple} gives up, you got to question the futility of it all. You literally cannot control it, or help it, or make it better, leaving life quite painful and conflict oriented when trying to benefit the innocent ones using legal and psychological accepted guidelines.

[@AgeofMachines]

NolanEP84 Quite simply this: If you threaten my safety (physical, emotional, financial, psychological or spiritual), my sovereignty or my sexuality in my domain, you WILL be jettisoned ASAFP. Not a question of "responsibility" as I put these matters up front. We now have a class of women who believe in no uncertain terms that they can do ANYTHING they want. If you balked at my first statement, consider this: If you can't enforce these basic things bluntly and matter of factly, what protection can you offer any offspring? Answer: NONE There have to be clear and enforceable boundaries. In my domain, I set those - no one else. Enforcement is where the drama starts because most men think "putting their foot down" is how that is done. Not today. For example, controlling your own finances in YOUR OWN HOME where you prevent overspending is now considered DOMESTIC VIOLENCE according to U.S. laws... Think about that a second... You do the manly thing and try to prevent fiscal and potentially familial catastrophe in the form of reprocession, eviction, job loss (negative credit WILL cost you some jobs) and YOU ARE THE VILLIAN!!! You go to court, documents in hand, thinking the judge will see her foolishness and censure her. THEY DON'T. Now what do you do? In fact, in many financial jobs, her behavior could also put you in violation of FEDERAL LAW. How? SEC rules state that you AND YOUR IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBERS are barred from some certain investment activities in specified timeframes... What happens when the nutcase "I'm to independent" shrew you married doesn't listen to you? Thaaaats right.... YOU lose your job! YOU lose your freedom. YOUR credit is damaged YOU are now homeless and as she leaves, YOU have to pay for kids you can't see and YOU are jailed if you can't pay for them. Only accountability you have at this point is to dropkick her out of your life the FIRST time she comes out of pocket. Period.

Hi, Jordan Peterson. Much as I respect you and your work and much as I agree that boys need a good male role model around when they are growing up, I would suggest that not ALL men need an intimate relationship. As I see it, there is one skill that is necessary for any personal development by either gender. That one skill is the ability to self analyze objectively and constructively. Sadly, MANY people either do not have that skill or do not use it. Just my 0.02. You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

[@fitwithbrittany2706]

We have gotten so far away from this notion of healthy codependency that I think our standards are low and fear is high and perpetuates said deviations. Ironically, these points are a great remedy to quell fear.

[@indranilbanik3424]

Fear is a rational response in many situations. Men have good reasons to be afraid of women, who are after all carbon-based machines optimised over millions of years to extract resources as efficiently as possible from men by manipulating their feelings, hopes, and insecurities to the greatest extent allowed by the laws of physics. Men should go MGTOW = men guarding their own wallet.

We should not keep making the mistake of looking for happiness outside our selves, like in relationships. First and foremost be at peace with the Self. From that, anything goes and nothing is needed. Peterson is the classic western psychologist who thinks he has found new ways to rearrange the deckchairs on the Titanic. But the answer is not on the ship.

Fernando R:The problem isn’t necessarily being alone, it’s feeling lonely, which is something you might feel if you’re alone. Especially if there’s internal factors preventing you from even engaging in social behavior effectively, such as SAD(Social Anxiety Disorder) or APD(Avoidant Personality Disorder). I’ve been taking SSRI medication for it, exercising regularly, following a healthy diet, going to therapy, and trying meditation, and I still have absolutely no friends or any relationships at school or outside of it. It really just drains your soul for it to always be without another.

I can attest that, if you have another brain involved, you tend to make better decisions, because the other brain gives you a reference for the value of your own ideas and when you synergize it affords you with another brain to help you achieve it.
