Never stop being you

When you’re authentic you attract the right people on your path and lose the wrong ones... It hurts but it for your own good :)

Man, that’s the story of being an autistic person. I can agree. Grew up hearing and realising that being honest and truthful *isn’t* actually what most people want. I know the difference between being honest and just being an asshole, so it wasn’t that. Then I started unconsciously masking for most of my entire life, as my autistic traits weren’t usually well-received. It caused many years of feeling no real stable sense-of-self because of living in a predominantly neurotypical world with standards that I often could not meet, nor care to. Now people wonder why certain things like criticism can hurt so bad for those that are very sensitive and were always picked on. Funny world of double-standards we live in.

Very very true. My older sister used to ask me why can't I be normal? And my brother would call me weird.

Lol no when critique hurts you you got a problem xD

it hurts until you stop caring about what other people think. you suffer when you are authentic because people are not used to authenticity and they judge, but when you stop caring about it, it stops hurting. You just don't care if people point fingers at you. continue to be authentic and you will see how people will start to respect you for your attitude. be sure of who you are and everything will change

It happens all the time…until they come back and realize the authentic you was not spewing everyone else’s garbage.

Depends on your end goal and who you're dealing with I suppose

That is an overused, oversimplified quote. If you are rejected for you who are, and it is by someone you care about, it will most certainly be very painful. People who are unauthentic, would not care to be accepted for who they are, or are not.

I learned that by experience, and I think we all do

I'm sorry you had to grow up that way, thats really messed up that you had to find the "right" answer instead of the true one. It's double-layered which could easily lead to manipulation because they could be manipulating without ever giving you the real answer (what is true). I also have difficulty conveying my thoughts so the other person understands while staying true to myself.

Facts. Beleive on Jesus and read his word and read Ezekiel 34 and he’ll heal u

BRO YOU ARE SO RIGHT

Exactly the same feeling for me! It is a journey, good luck to us. We deserve to know what we think and connect to our own opinions

By the end you will have sifted all the gold of yourself out of the mountain of lies that were never you. It's been my life's work and I have to say in the end it becomes a blessing, because you will come to know yourself in a way that is absolutely priceless. Sending you love on your journey. You are not alone. It's a formidable task and I applaud you for not giving in and running away. You are worth finding and shining!

the problem is that university includes learning a lot of dry boring material and knowledge as well. Most of the time is spent understanding and doing research, dealing with statistics, memorising numbers, understanding the diagnostic test parameters, etc. This is, unfortunately, part of and the bulk of becoming a competent professional. What you see on youtube are just small interesting bits that are cut/pasted to answer specific "life" and "pop culture" questions. The psychology degree and programme is nothing like a compilation of highlights like what you see on TV (youtube), Ted Talks, etc.

​@@ostrichhq9983TRUE Sybil Francis PhD professor of clinical.psychology

@@ostrichhq9983 yeah research and statstistics and doing stuff the factual way not the fun way how horrible

@@ostrichhq9983 Exactly. Most of my psych classes were replete with clinical case studies and analyses-along with statistics, etc. They were so mind numbingly boring that I changed my major. "Who the hell wants to spend an entire career chasing this kind of crap?" That was my main question in my sophomore year, because the answer was "Not me!"

Absolutely, thankfully Peterson uploaded ALL his full lectures to his own youtube channel, so we can get a sense of what that would be like.

if he is so correct why he is suffering so much? Why so dark?

@@paulb7207 Being aware of something and learning to mitigate it are 2 very different things. Jordan Peterson is human. He never claimed being perfect.

@@paulb7207 What do those have to do with each other? So, hypothetically, if he were to say something like, "Life is suffering", then that means that if he doesn't suffer then he's wrong... because well obviously he's not suffering. But on the flip side (I guess according to you), if he does suffer then that means he must not be right.

@@paulb7207 Yeah, life IS suffering. He's just articulating it.

@@danielsfbay Let me by cynical: he is living it. Not like most of us. I don't trust economists who are broke, doctors who has been sick for years, and psychologists who are crazy depressed and can't help themselves. The first thing you need to do if you digged yourself into a deep hole is to stop digging. After thinking about it for a while I came to conclusion what I find not helpful with this guy: he can't relax. For a fucking second. It's always about trying hard. Fuck that. People like that are never happy. Or satisified. His last drama? When he almost died from overdosing some crazy drugs? Shit, stay away from me shrink! On the other hand: I love the guy. I really do. I listened to him *a lot* between anyone even heard of him. Logically, scientifically, he's right to me 100%. I love it! The way he articulates himself is just out of this planet. But if you can't just relax, sit and relax, and it's so visible with him he apparantly can't. It's always something. I mean, look, Trump, I don't love. But he's also kind of a person that can't just stop thinking, tinkering, and doing stuff. All his life. But you know what? He can have a great time! You can see it. This dude knows how to have fun. How to enjoy and affirmate and love life! He really does. Peterson doesn't. He's, I don't, why so serious. Like it was visible too in the dicussion he had with Zizek. Zizek can have distance to things and to himself and others. He can poke around with ideas. For Peterson it's not possible. So anal. Painfully anal. My layman analysis says that's the root of his depression. Let him go have fun night in town with other dude, go to a strip club, do some crazy shit. He would be too correct for that. And that's incorrect. That's why he suffers. In my cheap layman analysis/view.

Same! Also I am very analytical. So I realized whilst in lockdown that I usually analyze people before I get to know them. And sometimes I would subconsciously be someone that they would find “interesting”. Honestly I am going to try to put an end to this

💯💜

I'm reminding myself of the paraphrsed churchill quote I can't be fucked looking up 'if you have no enemies, you haven't been true to yourself'. Life is short. Life is about self discovery and self expression, not about being a people pleaser. Not everyone will appreciate you - but nor do you appreciate everyone you meet. However it seems that the older I get the gratification of being congruent with myself exceeds that of being socially accepted

"You know you're saying something inauthentic when it makes you feel weak." - I do not feel that at all or I do not know what is he talking about? Could you give more clues on that?

Some of us are still stuck with this knowledge, knowing that we can’t be ourselves without being outcasted by family and friends, so we keep pretending..

Strongly agreed

@@Michael-px4oj Dear unknown friend, if you truly live in a dictatorship, you are in a very difficult situation, and we must feel deeply for you. Then it becomes very important that you truly think through every step. You must somehow wait and prepare for greater freedom to come. Do not be foolish and don't take too big risks. See what you can do within the system. Keep pretending till you are safe to show your true colors. Is there a way to educate yourself in some respect that could be of use, later. In arts, sport, agriculture, history, sciences, household - start small and unawares... by and by you will see a wider picture and maybe more possibilities. I wish you very much luck, patience, and not too much courage. A warrior knows when to lie low!

Ok Archer from fate stay night if u dont know him look up archer fate stay night ideals..he will resonate with ya😂

@Kyle Fuller Thank you, friend! You have great compassion! I myself live in a country and in a family and church that have become ever more tolerant and freer. But many live not, and cannot speak and act freely. It can be very dangerous to try to escape from a tyrannical leadership, father or husband. One has to be cautious. It is a totally different situation than when you ARE free and just want to gain status by being a pleaser. I wish all oppressed the best possible future!

That's why I hate what postmodernism is doing to art. People are just trying to figure out if the author or artist is a sexist, homophobe, racist or whatever. It's such a disgusting way to treat art, and it destroys art that hasn't even been created yet because it makes people afraid to do art.

My wife is an artist, specializes in oil paintings, AND she has ADD which means she is particularly vulnerable to rejection. She puts herself out there anyway. She's got a ways to go in self-confidence still, but her persistence is extraordinary.

dont be. what are people gonna do? criticize you? FUCK THEM. my belief in life is this "as long as you dont touch me physically, fuck your thoughts I say what I want to say cuz that's more authentic."

@@karstenburger9031that’s really good to add

Indeed agreed

I’m fluent at this, to the point where it’s negatively affecting relationships with others so im working on it.

You can fabricate your own emotions sometimes though. It gets a bit more complicated if that happens

You're not alone. I think most of us hide our true self and beliefs out of fear that others will be bothered or dislike us.

This is accurate. Many people do this. It actually takes a tremendous amount of bravery to be authentic. I’ve been working towards being more authentic

I do this too

I used to feel the exact same way. Something that helped me significantly, was to first identify why I felt the way i did. Ask youself, why do I avoid social conflict? The answer might be because you're afraid of it. Now ask, what makes me afraid? If you continously break down the questions you present yourself, you will eventually find a practically useful answer.

This isn't always a bad thing. I'm just trying to ease my way out of being a people pleaser, but being diplomatic is by no means a bad trait in my opinion. Just don't allow being diplomatic to affect the behaviors and values you live by. Bring diplomatic can help you be really good at conflict resolution, especially when you yourself aren't a party in the conflict.

Spot on.

In my experience more often than not this is exactly the case.

Story of my life. I'm not exactly a physically imposing figure, particularly lawyerly in my speech, or predisposed to memory - bugger, I've even been given the ultimate loser combination of ASD and ADHD. An entire family of moody women and tyrannical men did not help matters, so there goes my foundation. Covert narcissism is the only option for some people, and our existence is proof of its necessity... but let me share an old proverb that gives me some kind of hope, no matter how twisted: "The child that is rejected by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth."

Fk em. Dude is wearing a mask just like all of us. Quiet your mind and you'll hear it in the info he reveals. A person's biggest fear is admitting they are enough!

Or how you "should" think and act. You know.

Exactly, when i be myself and am no longer a people pleaser - I have less of a filter.

It's hard, but I find it's easier to navigate than being a people pleaser. Maybe you can be true to yourself with your ideas and feelings etc. but just always carry a pleasant tone and body language, maybe it will cause less offence because then they feel less threatened by your friendly presence but understand you're just who you are, humans aren't that simple though haha

Yes my whole life. But then the people I tried to be so careful with never and didn’t give a fuck about my feelings or the effect of their abuse on my mental and physical health.

Keep working!

Was looking for this comment! Same - survivor of CPTSD, and one of the key symptoms of this type of trauma is that we are fairly disconnected and numb to our body. So the feeling that JP describes requires one be attuned to their body. Unfortunately, trauma has its victims be (hyper)attuned to their minds (which is why a lot of them live in their heads). It’s good awareness to have all the same. Once we can trust feeling safe, I believe we habituate our bodies once again.

I can relate to both these comments. I don't wanna live in fear or in my head no more!!

I don’t think I’ll ever feel safe again and be safe again. PTSD/cptsd is no joke. You can still be authentic person though. It’s not you overcome this and then you can be authentic. You can be someone who is authentic and in the process of overcoming. Healing is never linear.

hahaha sleep deprivation? You aren't supposed to be half asleep to show up authentically lolol

@@margiesvanmori Lol you put Lol at the end of your statement like it's funny. Lol

Example

For starters why would you tell them they look hot if that didn’t resonate with you ? That makes no sense. Maybe it’s more useful in relationships if when you say you agree to do something it makes you weak. Because most people can go along with other people in inauthentic ways much more easily than to speak towards them in inauthentic ways.

Do you think that things like teasing can allow the both of you to resonate with each other when they're authentic? Like picking up on a certain trait or mannerism that the other person has from observations you've made and later teasing them about it. Not to make fun of them or trample on their insecurities, but to show them that you pay attention to them?

Big facts.

Me too He is great

I’ve done the same thing, I tried to get rid of bad misconceptions.

What do you mean conditioning?All thoughts are conditiined

Reading Singer right now

@@luckeystrike3541 Not many people subscribe to the belief that free will is non-existent

@@someguy2016 "conditioning, in physiology, a behavioral process whereby a response becomes more frequent or more predictable in a given environment as a result of reinforcement, with reinforcement typically being a stimulus or reward for a desired response." If you have certain types of thoughts and behaviours in certain situations then those are conditioned thoughts. For example you may isolate in your room and start meditating, but the type of thoughts that come up in meditations on your own in your room are conditioned to happen more there than in the middle of conversing with someone or even meditating in a group setting. Any reaction or thought that you have in response to something automatically is a conditioned response. So you may think, "well what about the thoughts that aren't automatic, and are generated by me, as I try to analyse and understand _X_ thing." and yes those are still conditioned thoughts even if you've never had them before or thought about and tried to analyse _X_ thing before since your ability to understand and the contents of the thoughts generated were based on past experiences and how you've broken down and analysed things in the past and how much you were right or wrong about certain aspects etc, the way that you generate these thoughts was shaped by the 'stimulus' or response of doing so (being right/wrong etc.)

I agree. That’s why when you look back at things you used to do or say when you were younger you cringe, because you see how perhaps you were trying to be something you weren’t, or beacuse how yoh used to act doesn’t align with how you would align now

I don't think so.

In some sense yes, because to cringe means to distort yourself and pull back in a defensive manner. It's making yourself smaller so you could say that it is a result of feeling weak

Happens to me when I think about when I used to take selfies.

Yes I had this issue with a co worker I Would talk about my personal issues but could sense he was full of bs or would fake being concerned only because me being around would benefit him. Now he uses my honesty against me . And I tell him the truth at work when he screws up he never wants to accept his mistakes and is not used to being called out . he’s the type of guy that never wants to be wrong . I literally explained to him in a professional way what he was doing wrong . after that he stopped answering my calls and texts . Some people just bring up your issues to hide they’re bs

That could be interpreted as be ruled by your emotions which is objectively a bad idea.

It's "shouldn't have", not "shouldn't of".

"Here is natural instinct and here is control... if you have one to the extreme you will be very unscientific. If you have another to the extreme, you become, all of a sudden, a mechanical man. No longer a human being. So it is a successful combination of both." "It is not pure naturalness or unnaturalness; the ideal is unnatural naturalness or natural unnaturalness."

Your comment is a cliche

@@xabdab I am glad to hear most people think so to the point that is perceived as a cliche!

Mina Kalantar Yes, JBP speaks "ready for print like text" - that's a pleasure to read again, to listen to again. Learn to write, learn to speak, he has underlined that often (from some ancient philosopher presumably). He passes on what he has found useful, he is so generous! We are allowed to do the same to the best of our ability. Indeed, we should do so, because everybody can't compose brilliant songs, but "everybody can sing" experts say (but it might demand practice). We do many valuable things that are not original nor new innovations.

First of all, why do you take offence

There is nothing wrong with taking offense and in fact, a lot of times it is just a natural reaction to something that contradicts what you think you know or understand. The problem is shutting other people down and ignoring them after that initial reaction as opposed to listening to what they say and trying to understand where they're coming from.

@Eriko. Oy haha that’s what I used to do! ^^ Now I’ve changed how I would handle these kinds of things. I would recommend to let your curiosity run. New word? Woah that’s cool I wanna learn how to use that too! New idea? Wow I wanna dive deeper into that! Saying “maybe I am stupid” Has a negative vibe to it but I get where you’re coming from in a self improvement way. For me, letting my curiosity run wild into something I don’t know is really fun and I get to enjoy it at that moment when I come across something unfamiliar :) it’s a second nature now and I don’t need to be that self reflective every single time.

@Eriko. Oy It definitely comes to the belief that we're all idiots running aroound in this world. Once I've truely accepted that I've just been learning and learning and it doesn't matter to me now that I don't know any word or ideas I come across.

Wow something ive struggled with forever! Thank you all for your insight! When I would fight for whats right people would tell me to pick my battles. Me in my naivety, probably hoping for comformity and acceptance stopped fighting all together. I stopped fighting immoral ideals espoused by the media and society at large. I figured nobody would listen. But here we are 😙 Me and my people hashing things out :) we understand eachother more than others understand us. They conform to the yellow brick road. We question if the pink road is actually objectively better for humanity. because we are thinkers. We are stimulated by debate, open mindedness, and a hunger for the truth Thank you all, i praise God for good intelligent people coming back into my life right when i needed it

Sorry there goes my ADHD, probably induced in part by my lifestyle (the brain is plastic, watching 6 second videos all day will give you said attention span 😅) I hope you all understood what i was trying to articulate. Thanks for your patience, as I'm trying to get my "room clean" in all aspects 💗

He taught in Harvard for a couple of years I believe

You're joking, right? Yale and Harvard, including Harvard Business School, have heaps of free lectures up on YT. Search yalecourses for example. Did you even try that before making your ignorant comment? MIT is up on YT too, and prob most of the big name unis.

I assure you, they do not care

This is exactly how it is at Harvard

I love what you said. its true and its hard. The more we show up as our authentic selves the more likely we are to encounter pain BUT also we invite more joy into our lives. those things joy and suffering always go hand in hand. The deeper the wound the deeper in the light can come.
