Single child of elderly parents, they were very protective, as in their mind I was their only chance at passing on the name. I find myself having to learn now what I should have growing up. Dealing with many new emotions, learning social ques, understanding betrayals and the trauma of the fallout of the consequences of my ego helping me deny that I didn't know the real world for what it bloody was and is. The moment you wake up intellectually, you better be ready...because you may find yourself too mentally exhausted from fighting yourself to take on the nonstop stream of of stuff you never ever understood was happening all along. I really hope this makes some sense

[@lifeadventurer7627]

It does

[@steve3757]

it really does

[@nabzadam9036]

Makes perfect sense

[@yoursubconscious]

Well put indeed. Ya, I was 33 or so when I "realized" my intellect. It was not easy. Still struggle with what is "what" as I dive deeper what we call "home".

[@behroozshahdaftar4209]

Believe me, it does. But as an adult, how did you stop being naive.

[@benwherlock9869]

I was naive for a long time until I was burned repeatedly by Dark forces (mostly psychopaths or people of the dark triad). Now I'm paranoid and cynical. Being bullied at school completely changed my perspective of Humanity.

[@DiamondMind630]

Can totally relate how did you improve yourself I am trying to deal with this now?

[@ElisaAlice-d8b]

​@@DiamondMind630hello diamond, I'm having this experience currently and what helps me the most is learning why by incorporating compassion and empathy and then understand these qualities are rare, decide to be good in a sea of crabs trying to pull each other down, these unconcious types think expressing yourself is weak, their lack of compassion is the true weakness.

[@DiamondMind630]

My anxiety caused me to be naive. I was too focused on how I felt. I too got burned and my muscles ache with anxiety.

My mom is very naive and I think the over protection and lack of experiences definitely has blind sided her to the reality of the world we live in

[@letsgoBrandon204]

I grew up in the 90s and never had much to deal with. I was over protected by my parents and now I'm paying for it. I need toughening up.

[@francesbethodendahl8527]

I am just the opposite. I had alot to deal with emotionally as a child and it made me too tough, advanced and now mistrusting. I scare men away because I am smart and independent. But now I know all the games they play. And my shield is up.

[@VengefulPolititron]

I was seriously damaged as a child.. and changed who I was to survive. I learned everything there is to know that's important for survival.. I lived with guard up.. constantly and only a few times did it drop for 30seconds.. I had no control I didn't know myself. and I didn't apply the warnings and teachings to me. i had all the knowledge, but didn't apply it to myself and ruined my existence. naive.. cause I was so smart and informed. knew tons that others didn't know... but I was my own worst enemy. cant see an enemy that's behind you.. cant see the enemy that's inside you.

[@francesbethodendahl8527]

@@VengefulPolititron i know how you feel. I was very trusting and naive. But unlike you, I had no idea about life. Until 2 years ago. Now I am understanding it. I learned from watching other people.

[@VengefulPolititron]

@@francesbethodendahl8527 nice. I wasted my life with hate and politics and primal psychology

[@francesbethodendahl8527]

@@VengefulPolititron oh Vengeful P. It's a okay. Now you know, alot of people are lying to us. I never went by any formula, I wouldn't know how. Although, I saw many. I could only go by what my own eyes saw and my ears heard, someone else's thinking or their pain. Everything you read or hea.r That's why I go to the Bible and try the best I can to live by the framework of God. The people in there were always making mistakes. Yet, God saved them. I forgive people and learn from my own mistakes and others. Life is difficult to navigate without a compass. God is my compass. Stay joyful, some say positive. I was told by my last boyfriend, it can always be worse, so be thankful. I am thankful with a little or alot. I have never wanted what others had. I know if I want it enough, I can get it myself, with God's help of course. .i too am learning. We are suppose to have a childlike faith and yet do our part. It is a delicate balance. Do you have a compass? Men usually were my compass and I would follow. Best way is a parent, but some people use a TV!!😁 You can restart or reboot your life. Start by praying to God and reading his Word. The more you read it the more it soaks in. Then you will naturally start applying it to your life. And surround yourself with a body if believers who are to live by God's commandments. Stay connected. Start with Psalm 139.

[@thesoundpurist]

I've heard from very far about the horror show of fairy tales. This guy is confirming it

[@dagifelner9298]

So how do I deal with the fact, that there is so much bad in this world? Why should I love or even put children I this world?

[@bellasomerset9628]

Loving creates the chance of society improving. (In my view) whether it is going out of your way to help someone, or committing to basic kindness, it could really positively impact that person and perhaps even encourage them to act the same! I know what you mean about not feeling right to bring children into this world, though. At the end of the day I suppose that’s up to us, but loving others is always a good thing.

[@dagifelner9298]

@@bellasomerset9628 thank you! ❤️ That's the answer I needed. ... Trying to change the world to the better and not giving up on love amd treating other people well, no matter on how I am treated

[@bellasomerset9628]

@@dagifelner9298 yeah, I think it takes a lot of strength and resilience, but those are admirable qualities to have and when you treat others well, regardless to how they treat you, it’s probably going to be better for society in the long run. This and wanting to create children... I think we’re struggling with the same things. Stay strong! I’m so glad my answer was what you needed to hear. ☺️

[@mikieemiike3979]

Make your children very strong physically and mentally then make them aware of the things that exist. Have them learn the things that are pleasing to God and He will protect them.

[@francesbethodendahl8527]

Excellent message. Thank - you Jordan.

[@dilwich]

I have told my children how dangerous the world is and how you can not trust any human being as they are all out to get something from you and now they just hate people which i believe is a better default position.

And we get this for free over the internet?!! That’s what the promise of the internet was when it first came out! If the destruction of its use doesn’t showcase the innate fallibity of humans, well then you’re just not paying attention (said with my best Jordan Peterson impression).

[@asher5629]

Thank you for the clip

[@maciamay1393]

He should ask himself why some people are so greedy, egotistical, angry and arrogant, or why a grown man would regularly throw tearful tantrums on KZbin.

[@adrian_V99]

Why blame the parenting? Why not the state and organized religion? One religion in particular posits that all are are essentially good and can be saved.....a very dangerous proposition when dealing with other belief systems that hold quite the opposite. People, read your history books.

[@VengefulPolititron]

what religion is that?

[@Jushuu]

Not everyone is religious

[@jimorison6159]

I doubt that even the most protected of young people don’t get their daily dose of problems whether it be in school or through friends.

Meaningful amounts of money in the bank is more likely to be the result of profit from assets than labour. Believing the myth of meritocratic income in capitalism is itself a pretty good example of willful naivety.

Naive with a hard hard life since childbirth is also very realistic. I think it migt have something to do wih being highly agreeable or very desperate to see the good when you know there is not much good in people or life. whats the saying: head in the sand..

[@advocate_13]

Yes this is me too I pleased to avoid abuse and wasn’t taught anything about life by my parents. I was very agreeable I’m in my 40s now and for the last ten years I slowly woke up !

[@giulianobilofioravanti560]

You're so right about wanting to desperately see the good where there isn't. It's mostly believed that naivety is correlated with lesser intelligence but it's not the case. Lots of times there are reasons that go beyond just being stupid. I've always understood the underlying intentions of the majority of the people I knew in my life, but never acted upon it because the idea of unleashing the full awareness of evil made me sick in the stomach. It was unacceptable and sickening. I should have been braver before.

[@persona5hacked574]

Because they have never seen true evil in their life.

[@mra9248]

I absolutely hate naivety, it makes me very angry. I'd like Jordan to explain why it makes me so?

[@ns.hidayat]

we need to teach children how to be a judgmental. that is their responsibility. they need to know life is suffering and painful, they have to accept it otherwise they fall into despair. Libertard has too much noises with being nice is perfectly enough, they ignore the evil inside the good people

[@dannym6552]

life is not suffering and pain, other people's evil intentions make it so.

Are we put on the path God planned for us...I personally believe I'm very naive..yet lived a childhood of terror..J's so umm not sure this fits for me but gbu

[@robinsonner5461]

an alternative to naivety through being spoilt might be through terror. That in order to cope you chose to be, as he says in the video, unconscious rather than conscious ( to deal with the stress) and this makes you Naive. Did you watch any Gabor Mate videos? Best of luck in your future and love to you

[@genia-chloroxplumtree1609]

Because some people were told not to even think about harmful thoughts? How naive was I as I thought everyone near me would become ethical and under control if I brought attention of ‘mental breakdown causing’ superpowerful pals, I mean people

[@srayanazimah4615]
