Phillip Simfukwe seriously! The nuances in her question and the level of comprehension even in another language is incredible. Good job her!

I agree.

And if she's from Belgium,English is not even her second language, probably.

The fun thing about that is that the people learning English as 2nd language tend to be scared of using it(especially in a crowd like that :D ) but they do mind what they say. People whose English is 1st language don't care so they just spit out words... And I'm sure it's true for most of not all languages. Even me, I sometimes catch myself saying something not entirely correct grammatically in Polish but other people just don't care, they get the message and it's not really a big deal. I must say though that here in Poland when we write we tend to pay more attention to commas and grammatical structures whereas English speaking people... don't? I feel like those people don't try nearly as much to write correctly.

That's common for Europe with exception to a few countries.

Too bad that most of us don't have many options to begin with when negotiating....... that's where bluffing comes in handy

So individualism is wrong and dualism and communism is right. I don't mean Marx comm. or modern socialism. I mean old native American (the whole continent) communism and socialism

As J. Peterson says: " it's not about happiness. It's about discovering what you value and finding purpose." Now that is fulfilling and can lead to satisfaction - which lives just up the street from contentment /happiness lane.

@@Mecanotech depends what you understand with individualism and what you value value in a "tribal communism" which sounds more like anarcho communism. If people want power (want what they want - like people, addicted people especially, are "naturally" or psycologically) then that system won't work with the people of today, for without ethics such a system is doomed even in small group (as can been seen in small hippie communes..).

@Inebriatd 'how you feel about yourself' is individualism.. and ' how you affect the world' is comunism/socialism. Meaning that individual things don't have real value by themselves but instead..m individuals need to relate or form pares to other things to be worth something... Also when I say comunism/socialism I don't mean the Marxist , and all of those guys... I mean in a more indian American way... The original one

Rather the answer is to be competent and valuable and if others are too stupid to see that, they lose. If you are competent and confident(one stems from the other) you will be appreciated elsewhere. Being competent is difficult, but just saying it is difficult doesn't paint the full picture.

@Inebriatd lol dude you are delusional.

Inebriatd, you probably think you sound cool or worthy of respect, but to sane people you come off as delusional and a bit crazy.

@Inebriatd you dont sound very mentally stable dude.. Telling other people they seem "Inferior"? "like prey"? "your blood in the water"? That you were "Raised to never feel powerless"?.. It sounds like you are just projecting.. How would you really know how you were raised to feel or not feel? If you claim to "never feel powerless" then you have never done something truly out of your comfort zone have you? Like how can someone who strives for growth "never feel powerless"? everyone feels powerless at one point in their life, in order to grow as a person and become stronger you have to put yourself in situation outside your comfort zone, a situation where you are powerless, and then you have to recognize that you have no power in that situation but still conquer it eventually, even if you fail a few times.. Feeling powerless and failing is part of growing.. So if you "never feel powerless" then you havent grown much.. The road to having power is started in a point where you have no power first..

@@mwnciboo That's not how it works. It's impossible to determine to what extent she's done research on this.

Objective Perspective -- your words undermine your true motivations. You can build people up without tearing others down. It beats my mind how many people feel compelled to discredit JP and belittle anyone who finds value in his words. It's a sad reflection of your internal state of mind. Personally, I've always hated self-help gurus *with a passion* but I never go around spamming their videos or belittling their followers. I keep my toxic emotions to myself until they fizzle out. JP is nothing like the sort, anyway, only superficially if you aren't actively listening. I'll be charitable and assume you have a similar dislike for charlatans and have fundamentally misinterpreted his intentions. Read your words back and try to understand why you felt it necessary to insult the intelligence of someone you claim to want to help.

@Objective Perspective -- You sound rather judgmental of other people who are not living up to your intellectual standards. You can't reach out to a person while verbally abusing them at the same time. "JP insults those that don't agree with him" -- examples of this would be great. From what I understand, he doesn't deliberately insult anyone's intelligence, but rather points out specific flaws in their reasoning, and very often acknowledges why and how an otherwise good person mistakenly arrives at such positions. A good example of this is when he talks about why most people would have been silent bystanders if they lived in Nazi Germany, because most people are too afraid to challenge the status quo. "To feel like your honest knowledgeable opinion will be or is not taken seriously is insulting" -- Nobody is entitled to an audience. You have to earn respect the hard way like everyone else. If your words make a difference in a person's life they will respond positively. If not, you should probably re-evaluate your strategy. "killing people in various way is bad" -- I have no idea what you're talking about. If you have a positive message it would help if you could articulate yourself in a clear way that other people can understand. "And could lead people down horribly wrong paths." -- such as what, exactly? Your words are quite vague and your thoughts come across as muddled. It seems you are trying to grasp something beyond your reach. Not saying you should stop trying, but pointing out how you are most likely being perceived. If you have a better message than JP then by all means spread it, but try not to be condescending because it's entirely counter-productive to connecting with strangers. I know my words may also come across as condescending but I'm genuinely trying to be as clear and concise and honest with you as possible.

Okay, I tried. You are remarkably delusional. I was never offended by your comments, and I couldn't care less what you think of my intelligence. I tried offering honest feedback but it appears you are either a troll or completely lacking any self-awareness. Have fun talking to yourself.

@Objective Perspective -- You know what? You're absolutely right. Your reasoning is flawless and none of my comments above contain any substance whatsoever. Thanks, coach, you've changed my life.

@Objective Perspective -- Yeah, screw Dawkins and JP, those guys have nothing of substance to offer, just blindly regurgitating the ideas of dead philosophers and adding nothing new to the conversation. Don't know why I ever bothered to study them. Thanks for liberating me from the shackles of my mindless zombie existence.

The problem goes further than that. True, people fail to negotiate an upgrade of the current relationship because they feel like they have no better alternatives. However, people also negotiate selfishly from the position of power because they feel like the alternatives are infinite - why put energy into fixing this relationship when I can start a new one that doesn't have the same problem(s). Either way, alternatives turn your focus away from the relationship, so they should be the last thing you look at when in a relationship. The principle of having the option to say no is good, but it needs to be downscaled to the problem itself within the scope of the relationship.

Wow, _great_ points from both of you. In my experience, it is as if psychology has gotten so far to enlighten a person that they have options _in getting a new partner_ and that gives them strength, when for the good of children they should be taught that they have options _in how to deal_ with a negative spouse. So many people I know feel empowered by the fact that they can drop their current partner and simply start a new relationship, and they get drunk on the power of being able to end a relationship, rather than be enabled to courageously deal with the dysfunctional current one. To speak it in a Peterson kind of way, it’s as if people wake up to the fact that they can get a clean room by buying a new house, rather than the very difficult work of cleaning up the room they currently live in.

I would say it was worse in the past when women were only expected to be housewives. No monetary power. Hence forced to be with the man she married, regardless of how abusive. Not to mention societal judgement.

So you should go into a relationship still looking for other people? Sounds unfaithful

@@saltmage2435 Let's say you should keep in mind that things can go wrong, and parting may be a better idea than forcing the things at all costs.

A person with confidence can say this without fear of retribution

Boss: you're fired.

@A T: Sorry . . . but Peterson offers you the answer in this very video. You need to follow his advice and practice it.

First you need to make yourself more usefull, or indispensible. You need to be better at what you than what you are acutally paid currently. Basically you need to deserve the raise, you need to develop yourself to that level. How do you know if you’ re there? Go to an interview somewhere else and see if you get a better offer. Then you know you deserve more and you also have another offer as leverage and also as backup in case they say no and you decide to leave.

Arbiter Why are you assuming I didn’t?

You should learn how to get into a conflict. Like how to oppose or put pressure on someone in the least damaging way (for yourself). I used have the same problem and now I use a technique that allows me to put pressure on people without risking anything. I just tell them that I'm "obligated" to do something unless they do what I want. For example you can be "obligated" because you "have" to spend so much money on something or because something is threatening you. And make them feel like you didn't want to put pressure on them but you "have to".

Mohamed Osman Hmm this is interesting. I will think this over.

Avoid the words “things” and “stuff”at all cost

be precise with your words -JP

To be fair, he seems to be talking about kids who are seriously socially inhibited, which is maladaptive if not corrected. He acknowledges that you can't just make someone an extrovert against their nature, and encourages gentle pushes towards exploration for the child, not forcefulness.

If you don't encourage child to socialize from the young age it will only get harder for the child as the time goes. You can be introverted but rather not shy and insecure around people

clamarroan probably hes right introverted children turn into social misfits unless someone pushed them out at some stage. The mother bird has to sometimes push the timid chick out of the nest onto the ground, when the chick tires of flapping about alone, she can then remind him he needs to fly..

As an agreeable personality myself, I (and yes I see the humor in it) agree with you on those social factors working against those who are agreeable. I find it much easier to disagree and articulate my opposing views online, as opposed to in-person discussion. On that note, I find the concept of self-esteem to be shallow and to hinge on contextual factors and ultimately not have a lot of utility for helping people. The thought of "I'm fine just the way I am" does not lead one to do the hard work of improvement and get the growth that comes from turning weaknesses into strengths. I agree that confidence is important, but to me that comes not from a feeling but from actual knowledge and experience. I think self-efficacy is a much better alternative to self-esteem. I know a woman who has been able to get raises and now can work at home, and it is because she has developed a set of skills that she knows is invaluable to her employer and that he would suffer for if he lost her. She is confident in her negotiation because she developed the skills and knows that she is invaluable based on those skills and abilities. That's self efficacy. A feeling and self- knowing of confidence based on something concrete and measurable. The problem with the concept of self-esteem is that it doesn't have any concrete grounding, but is based on social and individual perceptions of the self that are wholly created in the mind and able to change.

@Inebriatd The West is all about individualism. It's only the collectivist subsets within the West that push for forced harmony. The Eastern cultures are all about the harmony of the collective, but they don't go about it the same way Western collectivists do (i.e. identity politics). Self-esteem is based on the individual self. There is no such concept in the general psyche of Eastern cultures. If anything, it is "other-esteem" for them.

Aria go back to the kitchen bitch

@Evan Hodge psychology has nothing to do with 'calling' names.

I have struggled with poor self esteem and confidence at various times in my life.. I believe it not to be because of bullying ,abuse or ignored by parents. I was born a sensitive soul, allergies to all types of food,nature and animals... Medication has been my life and kept me from a lot of normal kid stuff. In my child brain I assumed I was faulty, not good enough and never left alone had created such a mindset that was detrimental as a teenage girl. I realized in 2012, 40yo...that i had been acting from my mindset of beliefs that I had recorded as a child and I'd never revisited them or questioned their validity. I wrote out as many topics I could think of..and what beliefs I held in relation to them.. Deeper I pushed myself asking why I thought that way, it always came back to an event..that I came to a conclusion so incorrect and no proof of that bad thing I thought of myself -actually being real... So many beliefs that I convinced myself that I could not do it, or i was not made good enough to excellent at anything , was still holding me hostage till that day. I chose to update my beliefs, I wrote post it notes - I AM ENOUGH...I am more than enough, I am perfectly ME! Everywhere, bathroom, car, books ,fridge etc..I would make myself say aloud 10 times...over a few weeks people kept asking me what was different about me...I started to feel better, like I had got a best friend who had my back..my own protector... it was cause i started to believe in me! It changed my life. Try it...you can't imagine how much it helps....

And his concepts in this video are flooded in subjective interpretations that i disagree enormously.

rosely covali His concept is very simple. You're going to take small steps that are sufficiently difficult for you but not impossible that you can learn from. If you keep building confidence in incremental steps you are eventually going to get to a point that you are comfortable with. Just don't leap headlong into the hardest negotiation possible because it'll do more harm than good and break you. I hope that helps... it's my interpretation of what he said.

You can't learn it just by watching videos, reading and thinking. You have to take action. Start small and let yourself slowly improve.

@@DarkWolf3399 I thought you were thinking Peterson was behind the title video. My bad.

@NoisyCricket42 no it isn't. It is not linked to those traits, and thaf was the whole point of me saying that it depends on the environment. Put an inhibited child in a happy home, and they will be happier than the average person. put them in an abusive home, and they will be more depressed.

@NoisyCricket42 I've met 5,000+ people with this trait through conferences and other psychology related fieldsand what I've said is true for 80-85% of people. The HSP types use more right hemisphere activity which correlates to higher empathy and emotional reasoning. With the right therapy, it is true for the majority of those with this type

@NoisyCricket42 It is the key component in this specific context where Peterson tries to label these kids as "neurotic" and describes them as having low positive emotion. The tendency towards neuroticism is independent of whether someone is inhibited or not. Neuroticism occurs equally in non-inhibited and inhibited children.

@@MusicViddeos You misunderstand. JBP said their inhibited temperament would stem from a combination of low extraversion (meaning low positive emotion from having fewer sources of positive emotion) and high trait neuroticism (meaning a greater sensitivity to certain stimuli or a greater reaction to said stimuli). He then pointed out the appropriate counter to their temperament would be to gradually encourage exploration, so they can develop the skills they'd otherwise miss out on. He never said, "The kids are inhibited because they're neurotic and this is where their low positive emotion comes from." You completely misunderstand.

@@vfmlor actually I completed understand, and I know what the terms mean. I'm saying someone with the inhibited temperament can also be high in extraversion and low in neuroticism.

@Freddy Franco Stop shouting!

Peterson points out the use of the left about every time he talks about it. Most people just wilfully ignore that. His criticism is pointed towards the radicals, and the flaws of Marx which is perfectly fine as far as I see it. He also said that he agrees with what the rational left does in several podcasts and lectures. His problem is that marxism as an ideology is not viewed as it should be viewed in the world and that this brings the potential for a lot of suffering. Thinking that he holds such a simplistic view of any topic is beyond naive my dude.

Lukas Maier Hi. I'm not reducing his views to a simple narrative nor am I accusing him of holding a simplistic view. No doubt Peterson often explains the Left as part of an important stabilising force within heirarchy. I have no quarrel with that. I also have no quarrel with him pointing out the dangers of holding euphemistic views of Marxism. I just don't believe that those espousing and forwarding Marxism in its strictest application are as pervasive as he says they are. Granted there are many who want some form of Socialism or at least want to see economic reforms that would increase some Socialist benefit, adding to those most Western societies already have (police, fire brigade, roads, etc). I don't think we are near to the Government making our shoes, and then instituting mass slaughter. Therefore my stance is that in trying to rectify the balance he is in danger of tipping over.
