After much self observation I figured this out in my 20s. From there I spent hours observing and correcting my thoughts, saying self affirmations to the opposite of every negative or non-self serving thought. It took months of steady work for me to undo most of that programming we receive from ourselves since childhood. The results were astounding. My confidence, charisma, sense of self worth, courage and charm exploded, but it was all natural, no arrogance, no fakeness, to trying. It was like turning into a Jedi. I eventually lost all those gains as it is very easy to slip back into the old programs, and I am just now, many years later, practicing to get that back ... I have a lot of work to do, its amazing how easy it is to have self defeating thoughts and how hard it is to fully get rid of them.

[@philphilips1020]

I get what you're trying to say and I agree, mostly. You seem to be implying that we all have that charismatic out there charmer inside of us just waiting to burst forth. Do we all have to be that guy? Maybe we do and I'm just broken on the inside somehow, I don't know. Is there no room in life for the invisible man, the behind the scenes loner? Maybe there isn't.

[@WaspMedia3D]

@@philphilips1020 I don't think you really do get what I'm trying to say. If you go into this thinking this is a guide on how to be a "charming, charismatic guy" you have entirely missed the point. Its all about stripping the false identity that you and your environment has defined you as, and allowing yourself to be closer to your *true* self. The self you are before all those layers of almost exclusively fearful and negative definitions became applied. This process starts in childhood, and there is usually one main, often traumatic, experience in your life that has come to define you. Its about whether you want to be the best version of yourself, stripped of the defining layers that have been used to cover yourself up. Jordan I think kinda misses the aspect where most of these definitions are fear based, and do nothing but hold you back. To your point though, one also has to be completely happy with themselves as they are, this is important, but most, truly cannot be, inside the wardrobe of definitions they wear. EDit: added important punctuation to the last sentence.

[@philphilips1020]

@@WaspMedia3D First off, let me just say that I am not a troll nor am I trying to be argumentative for drama's sake like social media is constantly programming us to be. I'm just an anonymous guy searching for answers. Who are we, or better yet who am I, other than the sum total of my experiences? You are correct, there were several very traumatic experiences in my childhood. My mother walking out of the family when I was 5 was one of them. It was not pleasant but it's part of who I am today. I'm not saying that this is the way it is, I'm seriously asking because I don't know the answer. Aren't we like recipes, made up of multiple ingredients which are the experiences? And just like recipes, the more ingredients added the more complex the flavor. Some flavors are more pleasant than others. My life doesn't have a very pleasant flavor, but neither can those ingredients be un-mixed. They've melded together over time and have become who I am. Please, correct me if I'm wrong because I'd love to rinse my mouth of this particular flavor.

[@WaspMedia3D]

@@philphilips1020 No worries, I welcome discussion - it has become a lost art in a world fearful of offending those who may become offended for no reason. I sense that fear in you, but on to my response. Yes. You are a flavour. But that flavour wasn't crafted by you. Don't you think you should have some control over what flavour you have to offer? Peterson's video is in a way saying that 95% of your "flavour" is just crap that you tell yourself, and that the environment has projected on to you. And that is also what I am saying. Would you not rather prefer to have free choice over what flavour you express? Note that (speaking a bit in metaphor here) if you are not in control of what flavours you have to be able to express ... something or someone else does. Humans are easily manipulated through the definitions that they have acquired of themselves. In order to truly free the mind from these potential manipulations, no matter how subtle, one has to relax those definition. Take fear for example. People who have defined themselves as fearful - (which is pretty much everyone, even if disguised as "practicality"), through this process, can easily be manipulated as the a perceived path to _alleviate_ that fear, which is always sought, is laid before them - a path that perhaps serves others more than yourself. The goal is to not strip away your entire ego (which is this wardrobe of definitions we create for ourselves), but to be able to find that place where you no longer serve it, but rather, it serves you. Does that make sense? (Edited for clarity)

[@philphilips1020]

@@WaspMedia3D I also am a fan of reasonable discussion and I appreciate your willingness to have this discussion with me. And no, it's not the fear of offending that you hear in my "voice". I always try to be precise in my writing because I want to convey my thoughts accurately so maybe that's what you are sensing. Freedom of choice scares me, even terrifies me sometimes. Psychology probably has a word for this but I don't know what it is, I call it 'choice lock'. It's like when you have too many programs running on a computer at the same time, it locks up. For example, my company flew me to Kansas City a few weeks ago to pick up and drive a new company car back to Florida where I live. This is not a regular occurrence, in fact it's the first time I've ever done this. Halfway back around Nashville I had to stop and get a hotel room for the night. After about an hour I was still in 'choice lock'. In order to choose, the pros and cons had to be weighed, cost vs. location vs. nearby restaurants vs. breakfast options vs. etc etc etc. Too many variables in the equation equals choice lock. The point I'm trying to make is that freedom of choice has its downside. To me, too much choice equals no choice. I hope that made sense but, from my experience, it probably just left you baffled. Sorry.

Something about him saying being a good guy wasnt something inate, but that it took effort felt good. Never thought i was a good person, but i want to be and i do everything i can to be that person if only in others eyes. I get told by alot of people that im nice, kind, easy to talk to etc. People tend to like me well enough and people opening up randomly isnt uncommon, and i do lend an ear or shoulder when needed. But i do it because thats what a good person does, even if im not good i can pretend. I dont see that person they taek about when i look in the mirror, but hearing that being good isnt inate and that you only become good after all the work made me feel a little better.

One thing I've realized is that being able to show some degree of vulnerability is extremely empowering. Accepting one's weaknesses while actively working to improve not only makes one less susceptible to attacks on one's character, but also makes one appear more likable, honest and strong. Putting up a front of perfection and invulnerability can give one tremendous power, but that power makes one incredibly vulnerable. We are bound to make mistakes as imperfect humans and if you have been pretending to be infallible all along, even the most insignificant mishap can cost you your persona. On the other hand, if you right off the bat show that you are comfortable with your flaws, people will be less critical of you and you might even find yourself getting away with minor mistakes. On the other hand, when you present yourself as perfect and strong from the start, you draw attention towards your every mistake and imperfections whereas if you are honest about your flaws from the offset you will be better at connecting with others and be less susceptible to personal attacks on your character.

I questioned my values and foundational thoughts and really didn’t know which was the TRUE voice. I heard both of them as true. Heard the empowering and the Devils advocate voice in my head. Now with the help of this knowing I am not insane I can move forwards onto becoming better.

I'm high functioning aspergic and can relate to his experience, in that there there is no desire or compulsion to 'impress' others, or 'conform to the herd, and as a result I've often been compared to monsters, and the disordered (sociopaths, narcissists, psychopaths), by what I now consider, 'sheep'. This has come with the conundrum of being aware, and inscenmtivized by others, to consider my true self as being something that should be oppressed, but I do not subscrube to this line of thinking, and instead, I embrace my true self/monster, and have nurtured it within others.

[@brianfarmer7425]

I can relate to this monster I didn't think was there. Somebody ruined my life and wanted to take there life I had a breakdown and lost my mind palace and inner narrator (as I was a budding writer) I also have a heart condition and cannot work in the fitness industry because of them. Also on top of that I lost the love of my life through them - The list goes on. I realised they were just a fool there puppet strings they gave to evil entities. They have always been a fool they will probably always be a fool ( there is no such thing as a harmless fool - they are all dangerous they just need the right opportunity to prove it) The conclusion I had was if I took revenge I would still be broken there violations had past who they were had been found out they could no longer do me any more harm. God would hold it against me if I did not forgive and showing mercy would be credited to me so it was inlightened self interest to let it go. The last person I had to forgive was myself for trusting when I should have been perceptive. Why should we be afraid of being weak as long as we can observe the truth without a hidden alterial motive to warp our perspective. The fear of saying something that makes you weak is weakness and limits your understanding of what you are trying to convery. It seems taboo in society to openly criticize yourself. Many have condecending said to me oh your so down on yourself you should have a higher opinion. Perhaps we should be self deprecating otherwise we will wonder the earth with an unheathly ego . When I self deprecate it makes people really uncomfortable they think I have low self esteem. I would argue that it is they that have low self esteem to be critical of self is an excercise in liberation - a shedding of the skin. If your so afraid of your psyche you have to except yourself fully and show strength at all times. Of course there is a flipside to this where if we are willing to deprecate we should be able to pat ourselfs on the back. However this too can invite the ego to be greedly fed. So what is the answer? Well just simply say what ever I am I am and whatever I am not I am not. I simply exist and the only compliment I should except is a genuine one that is outside myself as to be self congraulatory is a stumbling block you can know your abilities without being self congratulatory. I have noticed in some areas of the New Age movement some people will tell themselves they are God even using his very name to describe themselves. Biblically we are told we are dust and are only living through the breath of God our only function therefore is to honour God and submit to a life without sin. The ego lies and sin lies as it warps our true image. sin is an absence of love and respect. that is all sin is. If you are Proud your cutting yourself off from your roots. I have issues I don't need to be popular. I have had a taste of popularity in the past you can lose yourself in it. What I haven't had enough of is prestige as I have not achieved excelence in my field. One day I will taste prestige then I will know weather to embrace it or discard it - I stuggle with this as I have not lived up to my potential something is in the way perhaps. WOW - I REALLY RAMBLED ON THERE. I moved to a new City and haven't made any new friends so probably spend to much time on my own.

[@BlackCat-mj5wi]

When I was young I stoppt talking a lot, because I noticed if I talk a lot a lot of unnecessary words come out. Now in my twentys I have realised that thats not a good idea. People tent to be foolish and if you don't practice talking, you will not get good at it. My self-confidence was very low, because I wasn't good at connecting to people too then. I belive it is wise to think about what you say first. But it is not wise to restrict yourself to only things "you are allowed to say" because at some point you will break. We can only learn by making mistakes, say unnecessary words and regret then maybe. We only grow through pain and shame, I guess.

[@seanandrews5329]

I don’t like to use the word “fundamental” in any context, because institutions undermine themselves, but I guess I can call it the things that feel fundamental, and feeling like changing oneself at a fundamental level. That’s what it’s like to cut off your dead branches and make yourself into a more robust tree per se. This is unfortunately exponentially harder to do the more chaotic your life is, and it’s even more unfortunate to realize that it’s not that hard to find people with greater chaotic qualities.

Jesus: John 14: 21 He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.” 22 Judas (not Iscariot) *said to Him, “Lord, what then has happened that You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him. 24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.

[@socratesagain7822]

A strange video to say the least and, in the main, disappointing. As an R. D. Laing reader, I am surprised that Peterson initially claims an inner persona that would never do that. Context defines or channels our actions. Recall that old saw, "Society prepares the crime, the criminal commits it." We exist in a phenomenological universe. Our past and our experiences and the prism they've "formed," to a degree. _determine_ our actions. Let's say we exist in a "realm" of limited resources (i.e., food, water, shelter, love, etc.) and other humans (or even non-human creatures) use violence (implied or otherwise) to protect a hoard of such. _Situational_ , isn't it? Speaking in absolutes from the comfort of a middle-class, sheltered existence pretty much remains existentially meaningless and says little about the evolutionary truth about the depths of the human condition that's inherited a _simian_ brain chock-full of survival impulses designed to survive in a _fear_ -inducing environment dating back to 1 million B.C.

[@PedraamJam]

Grrrrr reat animation man. It just took me in like I've never experienced before with Jordan peterson

[@JRR737]

Wonderful video. Thanks for creating and sharing it with us. May I ask, how was this text animation made?

[@NoahFonoti]

Wow amazing editing. Interesting background, is it skin?

[@parthgoyal7038]

Great Video, it's content as well as the animation. Keep it up!

[@stevendaniels8652]

Jordan...NEVER gets old... what a friggin genius.

[@TheDeepening718]

You can always realize that you're not any kind of guy because individuality is an illusion, or you can just carry on in this ego delusion which is a never-ending war between pride and shame.

[@zerothehero753]

Huh? Well, that's alright. That may be good, for you but, what happens if you're short sighted? I'm sorry. I'm just, ticked I'm not a millionaire, happily wasting my TIME AND MONEY!!! No, I'm just, kidding.. would you like a massage? My sister is evil..

[@EvolverWellness]

Nicely done. Important. In Buddhism we say there are '10 Unvirtuous Deeds'. And 4 of those are speech: idle speech, harsh speech, divisive speech, and lying (video above is essentially about lying). So we train the mind in part by talking less. Just meditating won't cut it. We talk less, we text less... and this is a major path to power, and a better life. Bonus factoid: Buddhists aren't necessarily vegetarian. Nor is JP. Many myths about the Buddha and Buddhism exist.

Only discovered Peterson recently. I'm considered highly intelligent myself but this man is, in my humble opinion, one of the most intelligent minds on Earth right now. When he speaks, folks should listen. This isn't as "heavy going" as some of his talks, but useful nonetheless. I don't agree with him on everything, predominantly his views on Nietzsche who I think has been misrepresented in history. Even so I'd know better than to try to debate this man. Great Share; thanks!

[@cassiestevens8382]

Thanks💓for your videos, advice & sharing your truth & experience(s). On the looong road, but thanks.

[@yugwen22]

Little-known fact: Peterson finally realized he could shatter a person's leg with a lead pipe during his interview with Cathy Newman.

The tearful zephyr hopefully program because potato analogically wish midst a whole religion. scared, naive spruce

[@breatheandshineyoga]

Ditch the animation. There’s no enhancement of content to be gained here with gimmicks… 🙏🏽

[@myotherusername9224]

the background sound of this sort of low key shrieking violins is very irritating and gets in the way of the message. it's like a tax we have to pay to hear the message, It's sadistic, but in a way that wouldn't send you to jail - like deliberately scratching your nails on a blackboard or making a squeaking sound on a styrofoam cup when you know it bothers people. you're sick.

[@smc1942]

It would be a wonderful world if people would stop talking their 95% 🐂💩, and be their 5% True Self.

[@Sarah33Kaufman]

What words make us weak?

All that roll off the Tongue... Consequence .

Pat on the back to all who are here trying to better themselves, trying to understand what life is all about. You could have been watching something else... we wil succeed in our efforts. Thank God for Jordan.

[@cristobalcasmyt1120]

If we all apply this, the comments section would be infinitely inferior, but the quality would be vastly superior

[@dshshajskj6143]

keep jordan in background and captions upfront rest is blast

[@jackbarry7155]

So weird, hearing a guy describe his own personal slide into slavery to fascism, and he doesn’t even realize it. Scary. Sad. Sickening.

[@bjacob9998]

This stops the psychological aspect of brain studies in the future how? It’s their behavior modification. You are an individual and life is to be lived to the fullest. I have human walls and human silence that have blocked me for 26 years or I wouldn’t be in this situation. Your welcome to them as I may have saved their lives -

[@stephanieroyd]

I'm there. 5% but never feel so much calm and in control of myself while my world just collapse. Never was so scared but this time I choose to be courageous and I dive into my shadow.

[@bartschiebroek]

u are also copying Eckart Tolle's experience of enlightening, where 'the watcher' is watching the self. Very similar...it seems to me you are stealing experiences here. I dont think u are authentic.

[@justiceLaw0123]

Jesus is the only one that can help tou. With Jesus in your life everything is possible

[@justinmcginty26]

The truth is psychologists just sustain the delusion that " You, yourself" is a delusion worth maintaining. Go on I dare you to contemplate the state of your mind, honestly. Then you will realise, you can drop any, memory, any reference to self, in the moment and be free of the emotional roller-coaster of pleasure and pain.

[@redhead911126]

I think he described what self awareness is generally like. It can get really bad listening to the critic if you have neurotic tendencies, though, the critic can make you believe you're no good and you might as well give up and die. But healthy self awareness can evaluate your behavior and check to see if it lines up with your values, and it is aware of tendencies you don't like and want to improve upon.

[@belteshazzarbenyakovleib4009]

Like crying about twitter bans then. A king dramatic videos about it for clicks

[@fintanmccninja6464]

A good man is not that seperate from the bad man, a good man can turn bad with one choice. We mistake many strong men for being bad men just because they fight, but they stand for something and that is good. They may even kill but they stand up for what they believe is right and good. It is easier for some to be good, than it is for others. And one man's good is another's evil. As one man's land is peaceful his options to do what is deemed bad are vastly different from the man who's land is in a state of war. And then there are those of us who see everywhere as a state of war. The Timeless battle between purely evil against what is purely good will always go on as will the battle about what is actually good and what is truly bad.

[@paulboegel8009]

Too be a violent person by nature, only tamed by circumstances. A coiled spring, that if let loose, acts.

[@emonymph6911]

Well what is it jordan said that he considers the 'weak' part of him and what is 'strong' to him? the guy just likes being difficult, his a bore

[@camoflageginger9291]

Especially about your lack of knowledge about the one true God.

I will always admire this level of transparency... I have it too... it's not easy sometimes

[@osogrande4999]

Wow great video. If you like pretentious subtitles.

The changing part reminds me of herrmanns hesse's steppenwolf changing

On the process of reduction of weak behaviors. Would we not also loose those empathy traits that make us more social?

We found out if you are about giving up we have some list to listen some meaningful if you are not laziness enough thank you everyone for sharing

[@MrAfrojoe89]

I was so sad when I heard Mr. J. P. Wasn’t a Christian because he was so smart and beautiful heart.. but.. He changed his mind about it and came out with it and was unapologetic. God bless you Mr. J.P. May God bless you all and the persecuted Christians and Jews. In Jesus name amen 🙏🏼

[@Cmartin621]

I believe he is heading down that path after him and his wife have struggled with their health the past few years. If you listen to some of his newer stuff he is starting to explore the Bible more. I felt the same way, there was a missing piece to some of what he says because he has left out a very important part human behavior, I can’t wait to hear God added in to his new speeches

[@tylnedriavalendorf]

What's wrong with not being a Christian?

[@armadilis4198]

​​@@tylnedriavalendorf You are not saved after death without Jesus to mediate before a righteous Creator for all the bad you have done in this life. None of us escapes death. None of us has lived a life without sin. The drama and suffering in life is all about man's quest for self determination and failing miserablly where the only hope is back to God through Jesus Christ. We are all the prodigal children in need of a Savior John 3:16.
