Jordan Peterson it is important that You make a video talking about the nazi movement and how it actually was a socialist leftist movement with racial tendencies If you need me to site evidence For you to Engage With Look up tic history He has a 4 hour in depth video on it That break down Each piece of the nazi machine And how it was indeed truly socialist and truly Leftist It's more important now than ever if America falls The ball game is over
One word… WEED.. it’s what I take for it..
Anxiety happens when you think you have to figure out everything all at once . Breathe . You're strong . You got this . Take it day by day .
I am feeling the same way too, I put too much on my plate and it definitely affects my stress and anxiety levels. I am also glad to be part of this community.

I got a job pumping gas when I was 16, it was pretty much the best thing that I have ever done for my social skills as an introvert teenager, I put myself in the position to have literally hundreds of 3 to 5 minute short interactions with people every single day, the result of which that i developed quite an expertise in making instant small talk with strangers of all sorts and putting forth a good impression of myself to others. It made me good at not only getting jobs but gave me a huge advantage over my piers when it came to talking to girls.
That’s awesome!
My first job was in a contact centre. At the time I thought it was an awful idea since I was a massive introvert too. I remember the night before, my stomach hurt and I kept coughing until I felt sick because of the nerves.
First call I took I was panicking, second wasn't nearly as bad, by the end of the day I was fine. I was 18 at the time. Anxious about taking phone calls for 18 years, problem solved in less than a day, and with more experience I'm now that talker that you don't want to meet because I will stop for a chat and will waste your time.
Facing fears is not only powerful, but important. I'd hate to still be who I was back then.
Good for you bruv
You can't always make life safer but you can make yourself more courageous 💪 my favorite lesson
If I had Jordan Peterson as my teacher, I'd never miss a class.
I'd never graduate either
"You need a goal that justifies the tragedies and malevolence of life." -Jordan Peterson
You cannot justify "ought" or "should" or "right" or "wrong" or "good" or "bad" apart from the Biblical worldview. Just keep asking "by what standard" etc and examining presuppositions you have and youll see it shows you that you know God exists yet you supress the truth in sin. Yet he has given you creation and conscience to leave you without excuse. Turn to Christ for salvation today my friend.
"You need a goal that justifies the tragedies and malevolence of life." -Jordan Peterson
"By what standard do i need a goal, to justify, by what standard can i call something tragic or malevolent objectively?"
The best thing I’ve found to overcome anxiety is remember to smile to people , it relaxes you and relaxes the person you’re talking to
“Pay as little attention to yourself” so true!
I had went through a bout of anxiety attacks - I was 28 at the time and had read some material about brain chemistry 10 years earlier, This prior exposure proved invaluable, in that I identified my anxiety as chemical imbalance rather that some random paranoia. Nonetteless, I had an imbalance to deal with, so I developed ways of shutting down attacks. Example: if I were on a delivery drive for my employer, I would sometimes sense an attack oncoming. The best approach was to immediately change as much of my environment as possible: windows up? Roll them down, radio on? turn it off. Left turn next? Alter your route. I did this for about 1 year and the attacks ceased.
Wow…
“You’re not afraid of as many things as you think. And you’re braver than you know.” 🙌🏼👏👏👏👏
I thought it was funny that I was watching some of your UA-cam shorts then I saw you upload this. This is a brilliant UA-cam video about a topic that I believe everyone struggles with especially since Covid time. I also wanted to say that Mr Peterson you are one of the most intelligent and brilliant people I’ve ever listened to. You’ve been a great inspiration to me and many others who dare dream of living up to someone as bright as you. Thank you for what you have done.
Ok

I hated driving down the Cajon Pass because I’ve been in 8 accidents as a passenger and had a recurring dream I was going to die going over the edge of a mountain in a car. I learned to sing with the radio while driving down the mountain. It causes you to deep breath and concentrate on the melody and words. With practice I overcame this fear! Less caffeine helps too!
@James Bond Tell that to those born in death camps. You arent your own Creator. You are a created being. You are limited in your creativity and adaptability and are subject to the Lord who has decided where you will live, when and why.
@@jordantheriverman6143 which lord? Allah? Muhammad? Jesus? Judaisms God? There's alot of religions that contradict one another.
The bit about actively engaging by listening to the other person instead of thinking about what you want to say next is so important for those that are socially anxious. Often times, we try to pre-plan our thoughts so that when it comes time for your turn to talk, you aren't rendered speechless, but doing that actually elevates your anxiety because your mind is constantly scrambling. Listening puts your mind at ease and allows you to be more spontaneous with your words.
I finally reached the age and the point in my life where I’m simply tired of trying to make sure everything is ok. Turns out, everything is ok. Nothing I was afraid of ever happened. Mindfulness has been a great and terrible teacher. Lol. But it works if you have the Will. Good luck!
Great comment
It would be great if you did a more in depth series about depression, anxiety, assertiveness training, i.e., the most common issues that arise in the clinical setting. I bet there's very useful information you could popularise, Dr. Peterson. Cheers!
Absolutely!
It is called the Wim Hof method. I discovered Wim about a year and a half ago in a Jordan Peterson video. I am actually kind of surprised that Dr. Peterson didn't mention him.
@@Marshallgill He definitely has proven himself through his records and the scientific research. But I've never practiced it regularly. Might be a good time to start.
@@abstractnonsense3253 It is always a good time to start the WHM! I am at a year an a half and can't imagine ever going back. I suffered from a lot of anxiety and stress so I really needed it.
I always watch clips like this trying to figure out how to help my mum. Thanks for doing them
Having a code of many colours- sounds good to me, its always helpful to be able to go into any situation and manage your way through, rather than only being really good at one specific thing.
This is exceptional. Thankyou JP
How to overcome anxiety steps:
1 - Speak of/define the problem you are facing. What are you afraid of? Verbalize it. Break it down from a big all powerful monster into little chunks.
2 - Put yourself into situations where you face the issue you're anxious about.
2a - For social anxiety, practice the skills involved with meeting someone. Go through the motor functions of shaking a hand and greeting someone. Practice introducing yourself.
2b - Focus your energy outwards. Socially anxious people are stuck in loops in their own heads. To counter this, pay attention and listen deeply to others. Focus on what they say and their body language and if something they say interests you, ask a genuine follow up question. Refrain from talking about yourself too much, that indicates you aren't listening.
3 - Go to a large number of places, put yourself in lots of situations with lots of different people and experiences to 'turn yourself on', that is to learn how to act ideally by "wearing a coat of many colours". This means exposing yourself to many different things/people/situations allows you to feel comfortable with many things/people/situations.
Reading it back, it seems super simple and obvious on the face of things but I always find myself functioning on anxiety autopilot while my conscientious self takes a backseat.
I'm going to watch this two or three times, this pertains to me this week. I've never had problems with anxiety before, but I got some high blood pressure and a heat stroke at the same time all really totally messing my world up, Mr Jordan peterson, your timing couldn't be better to help save my life and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
This is good stuff! Pay more attention to the person rather than yourself is GOLD!!
Thank you very much.
This helps a lot.
I was feeling anxious nowadays was finding a solution from Dr. Peterson here comes a recommendation. Thank you!
Thanks JP ❤️
One of my favorite Peterson clips
Have more than one goal. Have been working on the largest or rather the most difficult since 2016. Gathering info, in various forms, free online courses, panel discussions on the Tube and reading articles and books on the subject.
See a possible website launch on the subject as early as Oct, or hopefully end of year latest, and it is extremely gratifying.
Other lesser goals in progress but some health problems slow the process down, which was frustrating.
I am learning to be patient and rest as needed, which reduces anxiety over lack of progress during rest times.
I know you are very familiar with needed rest and reduced progress. It can be a trial in itself, must be taken patiently.
Thx again for the clips.
Thank you very much Jordan Peterson
Thank you Jordan Peterson
I love the choice of the dark suit and a black background. Really places the focus on his face, chest, and hands. It’s the most engrossing experience & very aesthetically pleasing 💯
Brilliant guy 👍👍
The part which was the most important to me was the point of getting more courageous. The anxiety won't go anywhere, but I need to keep asking myself what activities will make me more courageous to overcome it. What exposure do I need rn.
So much content dropping I can't keep up
Talking through anxiety helps you compartmentalize...bit by bit...👌
One of the few people worth listening to these days.
Working towards something in life is the only thing I have been able to do that helps me not feel so empty inside. I have tried all sorts of things from drugs to parting and sex to try and fill myself up. But working towards something meaningful and worth pursuing that is challenging has given me a 2nd wind of life I never knew I had. I wake up more energized than ever and look forward to starting my day. Just my .02 cents
This is exactly how I feel. I hope you are doing well
I never had anxiety in my life , I used to worry about stuff yah but it didn't keep me wake at night till i immigrated .having ppl to talk to on a daily basis is important
Things get better
Great as all of your content. Thanks
I would like to know if there's a video or info about this cycle of bad performance that a person can get into.. where because of the bad performance and what emotionally comes with it, the bad performance is repeated the next time.. turning into a cycle.
And how to overcome it of course.
Cutting back caffeine helped me a lot more than I anticipated.
7:25 Recognize the bad for what it is, then realize the good that could have been and laugh at how unnecessary the existence of the bad is.
Do everything you can to never let resentment take hold of your mind, for it will most certainly take over your heart.
Resentment is a weed that you yourself plant in the garden of your soul. That weed alone will chock the life out of all the good things you have planted in your life. To remove this weed from your garden you will have to take up a journey of honest with yourself and if possible later on with the one/s you named that weed after. If you have any resentment towards them or add unnecessary emotion to the moment of being honest with them, you may destroy the chance of true healing the two of you could of had.
Life may feel like a marathon, but it's really a journey.
You cannot justifiy "Ought" or "should" or "right" or "wrong" or "good" or "bad" apart from the Biblical worldview. Just keep asking "by what standard" etc and examining presuppositions you have and youll see it shows you that you know God exists yet you supress the truth in sin. Yet he has given you creation and conscience to leave you without excuse. Turn to Christ for salvation today my friend.
If I don't like being asked questions .
What do you recommend?
Should put out one on “how to overcome executive dysfunction” next 🙏🏼
I've been struggling with social anxiety for 10 years its gotten better but definitely has tooken a toll on my life It's extremely difficult for me to go outside, and stay outside especially around people because of this I have no friends no GF I get attention from women and what not but anxiety gets in the way of me talking to them I have no job so a women is honestly the last thing I want I just want to have peace in my mind to be able to live a normal life again.
Dam bro I feel u. how are u doing now?
@@lootbaglex3612 I'm ok trying to learn how to deal and live with the anxiety I've come to a conclusion that it's never going to go away so I'm learning to try to manage it.
In conjunction with everything said in this video a concrete and practical tip that has reduced my anxiety by roughly 50% is daily meditation for around 20 minutes, typically in the morning. I won’t elaborate here but it seems to have changed the way I interface with the world in a fundamental way that is truthfully profound across the course of several years now, give it a try and see what happens, you won’t regret it.
Have never understood what meditation is or what you do during it
I questioned why I had difficulty in focusing my attention on the person in front of me and activating automatic social mechanisms. I am afraid that if I do this, I will be harmed in some way. While on autopilot people can figure out how my defense mechanisms work and use or try to hurt me. so I regularly break the rhythm of the conversation and signal to the other people that I'm not completely here.🤓
Are these cuts from previous videos?
When Peterson overcomes anxiety, I would like to be there.
I am taking on more responsability lately to help others and so far its done me no harm. But I am not trying to turn beggars into millionairs. So I would say even with the highest goal its absolutely no use at all if you are not able to progress toward it because you just exceeded your capability and it starts to deteriorate the rest of your life.
Having enough money to be able to pay one's own bills certainly helps to overcome anxiety.
For those countless people that are addicted to drugs or alcohol ... to support their addictions ... lack of money often drives them to criminal activities ... which in turn fills the court systems and penitentiaries to overflowing.
There are never simple answers to complex problems that in turn always cause anxiety.

Steps for overcoming social anxiety according to Jordan Peterson
Step 1 - Precisely define and speak about what makes you anxious. These two things will shrink the perceived size of what you are anxious about almost immediately - 0:07 - 0:20
Step 2 - Break down what you are anxious about into smaller problems, and then figure out how to approach those smaller problems - 0:40 - 0:46
Step 3 - Pay as much attention as possible to the person you are talking to, and as less attention as possible to yourself - 2:44 - 2:52
Step 4 - Learn to ask questions - 3:10 - 3:32
Step 5 - Pursue the ideal of being able to function properly in as many areas as you can. This pushes you to become bigger than what you are, which makes you less anxious and miserable when are confronted with the tragedies of life - 6:30.
Step 6 - Positive emotion arises from progression toward a perceived goal. Have goals as a way to reduce negative emotion and by consequence, anxiety in your life.
My anxiety is worse when I’m trying to sleep. I call them anxiety dreams.
I sometimes wake up holding my breath. For what reason…I have no clue. It’s typically a dream about stuff that needs to get done or out of my control. Or dreaming about the bad things that can possibly happen.
I can control it for the most part when I’m conscious. But when I sleep and I’m not in charge of my thoughts, per se’, then I’m vulnerable and I suffer the consequences for no real sleep.
Dr Jordan B Peterson--- Sir--- Nicely explained but it is easier said than Done. Most anxiety /angst states are overwhelming. One can't break them down to smaller compartments and resolve them step by step. Doing this would fragment the sufferer beyond repair!!
Can someone explain to me what the man said, the point of the whole story????I don't understand the English language?
🔥🔥🔥
Why are some rejected everywhere?
Stop over thinking. Focus keep calm 😊
I looked up to the stars last night abd o asked myself why if we have stars do some not know when to shine and do it properly ?I'm bring bashed here where I live I'm.sick of fools and knaves I just have to know I did my best. ...my very best
Jacobs coat of many colors sounds like the NT idea of Pauls statement, "I am all things to all men"
I've seen most anxiety speeches with Jordan Peterson, and he always talks about anxiety like it is only about worries and thoughts. My anxiety is about thoughs, worries ,short of breath, panic attacks and just feeling disconnected from reality and such. Maybe i don't get everything he is talking about. But i feel like he is only talking about the easy stuff with anxiety. Am i wrong?
I think that when it gets to that point, it’s best to talk to someone to get a more in depth look at what is causing those things and how to deal with it/manage it.
I’ve tried looking for things like that too for myself, but usually it would end with just that.
Jordan ur my man although I don't always agree with you👍👍
Thats ok mate. i'll still maintain that Jesus Christ is King regardless. My man, i got your back.. take refuge in the King.
@@jordantheriverman6143 The dude never existed if one understands ancient Roman history
@@ethimself5064 You're simply wrong. The roman historians such as Tacitus, Pliny, Josephus and Suetonius all attest to his plain existence. As do the Roman greco biographies that are the gospels. As for not bowing the knee to Jesus, i can understand, because you love your sin.. as for denying his historic existence.. its either dishonesty, ignorance (i dont mean that as an insult,) or scholarly insanity. See historic sources below.
PROOF FROM TACITUS
Let's begin our inquiry with a passage that historian Edwin Yamauchi calls "probably the most important reference to Jesus outside the New Testament."[4] Reporting on Emperor Nero's decision to blame the Christians for the fire that had destroyed Rome in A.D. 64, the Roman historian Tacitus wrote:
Nero fastened the guilt ... on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace. Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of ... Pontius Pilatus, and a most mischievous superstition, thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judaea, the first source of the evil, but even in Rome....[5]
PROOF FROM PLINY
At one point in his letter, Pliny relates some of the information he has learned about these Christians:
They were in the habit of meeting on a certain fixed day before it was light, when they sang in alternate verses a hymn to Christ, as to a god, and bound themselves by a solemn oath, not to any wicked deeds, but never to commit any fraud, theft or adultery, never to falsify their word, nor deny a trust when they should be called upon to deliver it up; after which it was their custom to separate, and then reassemble to partake of food - but food of an ordinary and innocent kind.[10]
PROOF FROM JOSEPHUS
As interesting as this brief reference is, there is an earlier one, which is truly astonishing. Called the "Testimonium Flavianum," the relevant portion declares:
About this time there lived Jesus, a wise man, if indeed one ought to call him a man. For he ... wrought surprising feats.... He was the Christ. When Pilate ...condemned him to be crucified, those who had . . . come to love him did not give up their affection for him. On the third day he appeared ... restored to life.... And the tribe of Christians ... has ... not disappeared.[17]
PROOF FROM JEWISH SOURCES DURING ROMAN PERIOD
In the case of the Talmud, the earliest period of compilation occurred between A.D. 70-200.[20] The most significant reference to Jesus from this period states:
On the eve of the Passover Yeshu was hanged. For forty days before the execution took place, a herald ... cried, "He is going forth to be stoned because he has practiced sorcery and enticed Israel to apostasy."[21]
PROOF FROM LUCIAN
Lucian of Samosata was a second century Greek satirist. In one of his works, he wrote of the early Christians as follows:
The Christians ... worship a man to this day - the distinguished personage who introduced their novel rites, and was crucified on that account.... [It] was impressed on them by their original lawgiver that they are all brothers, from the moment that they are converted, and deny the gods of Greece, and worship the crucified sage, and live after his laws.[27]
You're genuinely and honestly welcome my friend. You know God exists and you deny him in your sin. All obstacles you set up are futile.. turn from your sin and trust in Christ.
@@jordantheriverman6143 Modern Ancient Roman History. Christianity is nothing more that Mythology and Metaphors. I do understand that there certainly are words of wisdom as there are in ant Organized Religion of for that matter other Spiritual Paths and Philosophies of life. Believe what you want to as we all do.
@@ethimself5064 I won't argue with your lack of understanding (or not desiring to admit to yourself) regarding the historicity of Jesus. With genuine sadness, i do know you're continually deceiving yourself into believing what you want ie that Jesus Christ isn't Lord/King and that you don't have to submit to your Creator.. you want to believe that you can live in sin and rebel and do whatever you please and God wont hold you to account. That was me, but God is good. You're wrong, my friend. What i want is for you to know the Creator that you were created for! To delight in him and be rescued from your sin and the punishment due to you because of how youve offended God inestimably.
"Oh Lord, you have made us for yourselves, and our hearts are restless until they find their rest in you."
Genuinely hope you have a good day dude.
Realizing he's going to die one day makes my heart ache. 😥

Its appointed for us to die once and then face the judgement seat of God. Either relying on ourselves with our sinfulness or clothed in the righteousness of Christ.

@@biggstang6732 😀
I hope y’all pay close attention to Jordan here. He speaks truth in this matter. Be good. Take the potential barbs that may come, and they will come. The suffering you may have to endure can be used to enhance your well being if you accept it in unity with others that have gone before you, for exactly the same reasons. We endure the suffering to attain true meaning in our lives. The meaning grows infinitely and is never lost, if you remain on the good path. We know what is right, we know what is wrong. Be prepared to endure suffering for what is right.

@@jordantheriverman6143 Benedictine oblate since ‘03. I thank God for the onion skins of obedience. One layer at a time.
@@challengable I admire much of the Benedictine ethic, we have new norcia monastery here in western Australia. I've enjoyed it a few times :) Especially the wine, bread and olive oil ;)
Paul in Romans 4 speaks of justification (a forensic declaration, or status conferred, of being "righteous" based upon Jesus Christ's person and work alone) by faith alone (a true and living faith, proven by works yet faith is the basis for salvation, works are the fruit, not the root of salvation,) as further proved by the two witnesses of Abraham and David- before and after circumcision. Salvation is not based upon him who runs but on God who has mercy (Rom 9.) We receive that righteousness as a free gift (1 Cor 5:21.)
Romans 4:1 What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, discovered in this matter? What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, discovered in this matter? 2 If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about-but not before God. 3 What does Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
4 Now to the one who works, wages are not credited as a gift but as an obligation. 5 However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness. 6 David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the one to whom God credits righteousness apart from works: 7 “Blessed are those
whose transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.
8 Blessed is the one
whose sin the Lord will never count against them.”

I need this. I also struggle with eye contact....anyone got any pointers?
I would just commend practice. Plus a solid theological understand of humans created in the image of God as relational beings.
I think practice is definitely the best advice. When you’re practicing, think about where you look when you look away. Try not to look around the room or in different directions each time. Try looking in the same place each time. If you look down each time, or at your hands each time, or at an object you’re holding, that’s a more controlled contact break. Then you can practice raising your gaze and holding it a little bit longer. (Just make sure your phone isn’t the object you’re looking at!😄) I have a daughter who struggles with eye contact as well.
@@KiKi-tf8rv Thank you - I will give that a try
Look at the eyes
what are you supposed to do when your anxiety is an *actual* disorder and doesn't respond to accomplishments or reasoning?
The experience needs to be described more and interacted with on an individual level rather than general advice. It's not that the general advice is invalid, but instead that it can be really difficult to implement that on your own. Generally it depends what the cause of the anxiety is. Something to remember is that anxiety won't just go away, for anyone. The solution isn't to get rid of the anxiety, but to be able to continue despite it. Something that can help a lot involves talking it through with someone who specializes in helping people with anxiety. Or maybe writing about specific situations when you experience it could help you. It's good to try to find what works for you. I'm not sure if any of this could actually help you, but these are my thoughts.
Anxiety is hard. Im trying to figure the stupid shit out but its not hard to figure out i used to work at such an amazing job but people there were dangerous and dumb as the loaders they were druving u had to leave and havent been at work in months now and people suck so full of hatred and stupidity but also problems and im a quiet person so im super easy to talk to so like everyone who knows me comes to me with problems everything is crumbling around me and others and its bad i get morning sickness ffs im a dude. Its affects eating i lost weight loss of apetite but then other days are better but im tired something is compelling me to just run in the woods and never look back. And having adhd i can bet worsens it cause adhd makes me think of random ass shit so imagine anxsious thoughts to boot.
"You should go a very large number of places and turn yourself on."
- Jordan B. Peterson
I find salvation in logic.
I find salvation in the Logos (Jesus Christ) the foundation and basis for logic. There is salvation in no other name.
Thumbnail made me think I’d overcome anxiety if I was a mixed woman enjoying the sunshine of a nice day.
You heard it here people. Turn as much of yourself on!
Jokes aside, this sounds very scary to me as a highly inept person socially. But thanks once again Mr. Peterson
one bite at a time
I was completely socially inept to a point of being almost non verbal.
Pushing myself so hard and far out of my comfort zone to a point of me now being a very dominant communicator.
Jordan Peterson is right learning Negotiation and how to negotiate with others and then myself! Bargain with myself what I want out of life is when I realized what I want
Had a panic attac 5 minutes ago I feel like a caged animal I try and try but then one thing happens and I crumble again. I feel like dissolving into acid
Physical training everyday and say goodbye to panic attacks
Toastmasters program is a great place to start.
There are different types of OCD.
"You're braver than you know" This has always make me feel really bad. I can't picture that, I'm sure I'm just a coward. Every time I look at a woman I find attractive I know deep in my soul that I will never be able to approach and talk.
Your feeling may indicate a truth, but it doesn't indicate THE truth. Maybe you won't be able to approach and talk confidently to them, in order to fulfill the motive for talking to them. But that's different from the act of talking to them for the sake of talking to them, even if it's not successful. After some time talking to them without any goal in mind, your potential will kick in and you'll adapt. Also, like Jordan Peterson said, the problem with self-awareness or self-consciousness is that it makes you think about micromanaging yourself, mostly in ways that will be automatic when you're focused on the other person. Fear of judgement can cause that. But maybe it's okay to be judged. And maybe it's okay to be yourself. Owning yourself is important. Your actions are in your control. Feelings will indicate a truth. But not necessarily the truth. I hope this could help.
Also, rather than saying you're a coward, look at the specifics of what you're avoiding. For example, nobody wants to be rejected. What's cowardly about avoiding that? Nobody wants conflict or judgement to be their debut out in the world. Something I relate to is always holding myself back until I'm "good enough" to showcase who I am to the world. This is because fear of judgement. But I've found that the way to become whole and "good enough" has always been to stop trying to be perfect before getting started. Preparation cannot take the place of potential.
Maybe this doesn't help still, let me know how you feel about it
@@ExCalibrePlayz Sorry for the late reply, I wanted to reply properly.
Well, there are many reasons behind it. I don't have a sense of self worth, so I need to be liked by people to not feel anxious, I'm always constantly thinking about how not to bother anyone around me. This of course affects how I talk to people. On your point about talking to people for the sake of talking to people, whether men or women, I can't do it. For me, a conversation is something you survive to, not something you do for fun. I need a specific purpose or objective to discuss or else I just can't hold it. And even then I will be anxious and waiting to "escape" from it.
And only then comes the fear of being rejected, or rather, the absolute certainty that I would always be rejected, because no woman could find a dormat man, with too much feminine personality traits as attractive.
Having nothing to talk about is just the least of my problems.
And also, this has lead me to let my life go to waste. I never learned how to properly approach women or how to flirt, I don't have a developed sexuality. In fact, I almost barely interact even with guys of my group of friends, if I can call it that even, save only for the one friend that got me into the group. Because I spent my adolescence and early 20s learning how to suppress my personality instead of developing it. Now I'm almost 30, and I'm just the empty carcass of a male human body, not really a person, not even remotely near to my truer self, lost long ago.
I know the advice that follows it, "learn who you are", but it's just so vast and so vague, not only I have no idea how to do it. I don't feel it's worth it because I have already wasted the best part of life. Even if I manage to find out who I'm supposed to be, that's such a long process, what useful could it be at the age of 35? There are no more than life than getting older at that point. If I wanted to have a wife and have kids I should have already met her by this age, instead I'm almost 30 and I don't even know how to kiss a woman.
Sorry if I'm being too cynic or pessimistic, that's just how I feel. Thanks for your time and reply.
@@franacha I think your cynicism is well-placed because of how dire your situation is. Thanks for sharing how you feel about it.
Although I'm only 18, the thing that stands out to me is how quickly you dismiss the possibility that you could have something in the future. I know it's very different to be at your age, so I can't speak from experience about that. However, let's assume that there's more unknown about the outcome of what will happen if you try to make progress towards your goal. There's a chance for success and a chance for failure if you try. Will it be worth it? Will there be any use for it by 35? That's a really fair question. Nobody can answer that. And fearing that answer would make it easy to not try. But what's the alternative to trying? I fear that you'll choose that. And you'll easily be justified in taking that path. But are you ok with it? If you want more out of life, I think you should try. And then your conscience won't convict you with the life sentence of regret. It's not my choice or my life, I just wish that somehow something can have a positive enough impact on you that you realize how much is in your control.
I'm not necessarily an accomplished person or anything good, so I'm a hypocrite in more than one way when I'm saying these things. There's no reason for you to listen to me or anyone about your life, because you have the wheel. But maybe your conscience can guide you to something better. And maybe you won't need others opinions of you.
I appreciate that you responded. I do believe you have at least a chance still
@@ExCalibrePlayz I really don't know, to start I'd say that chose that already, for good or for bad, I did already surrendered at life and haven't found the strength to try. I'd say that no, I'm not ok with it, but I have always seen anything that I could want from life as unattainable, impossible to reach.
I don't think you're being hypocrite, it's just theory against practice and realizing that the ideals are something we aim at and not something where we should already be.
I have the wheel. . ., that's just so terrifying. I don't trust me, like at all.
But anyway, thanks again for replying as well, I appreciate the talk.
@@franacha maybe a good place to start is to try to become more trustworthy for yourself.
I'm literally scared of driving and I feel like I can't trust myself during it. Obviously your experience must be different, but you do have the wheel to your life. And maybe the way to face that is to learn to trust yourself. For me, it took time driving without anyone else around to feel ok even on the road. Likewise, if you take control of your life in your free time, then maybe you can get more of an exposure therapy to your own capacity to handle being at the wheel.
What are your thoughts on it?
I kinda need help today..
God bless you Professor Peterson, may the Lord Jesus shine through you in Jesus Holy name Amen
Amen x
THE "SECRET!!" Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me-put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
🙌🙌🙌
I think Anxiety is a version of narcissism
An obsession with oneself and other peoples opinions of oneself or rather narcissism in twined with fear and need to control things
Yeah that's not how it works. That's like saying survival instinct is narcissistic.
" Go to a very large number of places and turn yourself on " - Jordan Peterson.
Misleading title, anxiety is more of a generalised thing, im anxious about everything
Love Jordan but is the answer to take benzos?
The Alan Watts of our generation
Ha i already figured out how to overcome anxiety, lay in bed in day...
You could always try benzos.
Thanks but what if the anxiety comes from current events? Watching my elected officials acting badly? Watching the war news? Don't tell me to "Just don't think about it" That doesn't diminish the monster of the anxiety at all. How to face the seemingly 'unfaceable?
Submit yourself to something high enough that you don’t need to worry about the little things
The thing you worship as "something high enough," i make known to you... the Most High God, the power on high is the Father of Jesus Christ. After making purification for sins (through the cross,) Jesus sat down at the right hand of the majesty on high. There is forgiveness of sins, peace with God, knowledge of God and eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ alone as a free gift, by God's grace and mercy.
@@jordantheriverman6143 I agree
@@06rtm Glad to hear friend, i truly hope that you have rested upon Jesus Christ entirely apart from hope in yourself, in anything you do, or anything else. Let us keep in his word. Peace.
L S D...works for some people... me for example
prozac also works fine though
Unless you keep taking it
Actually scratch that bad idea
Go ahead and take Prozac lol see what happens
It works well if you need it, but you still have to solve the root cause
@@newusernamehere4772 no, treatment with prozac lasts anywhere between 1 to 5 years
The goal is praise and gratitude to God, to find whats meaningful in every situation. The ten commandments written on the heart and mind is a good place to start as a goal.
The ten commandments will also point us to the fact that we are wicked. We have lied, stolen, coveted, blasphemed, committed adultery in our hearts etc. That means we have broken God's law and stand condemned. End of story. Yet, Christ perfectly fulfilled the law of God. He takes my sin and gives me his perfect righteousness so that we can be declared righteous in God's sight. This produces obedience that pleases got as a fruit of our salvation yet the root is always found in faith in Jesus alone.
Many who have severe anxiety are at a borderline level of functioning. This effort of exposure to what is feared will not help them.
Anxiety is a lie that if you believe in it then it believes in you.
The more you believe in it then the higher the anxiety.
You are giving it the power.
The more you struggle the more power you feed it.
Next time it visits you just watch it .
Watching it is the beginning of overcoming it.
lemme guess: you overcome it by doing it ? :p
poor mr. p....'there's lots of thing to be frightened of'. jesus, 'fear not'.
I hear taking benzos works well.
Does it work long term?
Except he didn't, he used benzos himself, that's the ultimate not overcoming anxiety
Great. Find your goal. Christ is the goal and the way.
Amen. The only Christ, the one of the scriptures. The one who is truly God, truly man. Creator, Saviour, Redeemer, Judge. God.
Amen Christ is the goal!!
Stop smoking weed
Kind of hypocritical to give advice about managing anxiety from a person who abused benzodiazepines to solve his emotional problems.
By what ultimate standard is hypocrisy "wrong?"
@M B how effective can his advice be if he wasn't able to follow it himself?
@@moonrockinmynose5689 Seems like your advising him and others to be consistently with the standard they hold themself to. Do you? Are you consistent with the worldview you profess to believe?
@@jordantheriverman6143 I'm not advising him about anything. I try to be consistent with my worldview but then again I'm not the one going about giving lectures about how you ought to live your life. I don't mean his advice is bad. It just may come off as insincere. As if an obese person were giving advice on losing weight.
@@moonrockinmynose5689 I kind of get what you mean, but at the same tine you don’t have to be a championship winner to coach another person to a championship win. Sometimes it just the greater perspective that allows the other person to succeed past the “coach” (Jordan’s) failures or shortcomings.
It does however kind of muddy his message a little bit, more like a do as I say not as I do kind of boomer message.
It doesn’t mean his advice does not work.
I openly dislike how he teachers others coping strategies yet he failed to implement them
In his own life.
Jordan, you of all people should not be giving advice on overcoming anxiety…as far as I can tell you absolutely crumbled under pressure when things got tough in your life. Or was it just the cider of doom that got ya?
