  • From our earliest days, all of us are set on a path towards physical growth and maturity. What is less well known is that there are forces within us that - in comparable ways - push us towards emotional growth and maturity. Throughout our lives, sometimes at considerable cost to our short term peace of mind, we're engaged on a journey of emotional development that we should learn to understand, recognise and honour.

    “We know well enough that we are equipped with an innate drive for physical growth; that the human animal is geared to keep developing towards its outward mature form, adding muscle and bone and fatty tissue, in a spontaneous process of development that begins in our earliest days in the womb and ends around our sixteenth year…”

      Well, now I know where my chronic depression and anxiety at panic levels comes from. Total lack of connection (I am 56 y/o male) due to a very dysfunctional childhood and therefore I grew to become a dysfunctional adult. Being ground level poor without any idea of what was the matter with me didn’t help. Oh well. I’m grateful for “The School of Life” and other self help material that technology has made possible to access. It’s too late to “fix me” but these videos keep me going. Thank you.

    Something I’ve always found interesting is how we are rewarded or complimented much more on our changing physical appearance than our changes in personality.
    If you lose weight or have a “glow up” many people will praise you.
    However improving your inner self doesn’t receive that same amount of praise.
    The person who benefits and notices the most from your emotional growth is you.

      That is the reflection of the egocentric society we live in. We think we are so smart and we can always make a difference. But the truth is we are only rational animals who think highly of themselves. The world is not ours and we are not the world.

      I totally agree with you. However, only those who really see beyond our outer selves may truly identify our changes, anxieties, fears and feelings. Alas, too few in these modern days care to love and respect the whole person instead of its achievements, belongings, appearence or influence.

    • @Chatoyancify
      @Chatoyancify 5 років тому +24

      It might be due to the brain's need to predict people's behavior to avoid personal harm. Thus we will trust a person's personality is not very much changed even when there is subtle (not dramatic) evidence to the contrary. A confirmation bias will have us focus on qualities that remain the same.

      This is actually great advice!! There are potentially great opportunities for shadow work whilst watching something you genuinely enjoy: if a particular character really gets under your skin, feel awkward, etc etc., that's a great chance to look inward and examine why that is happening. Here's an example: maybe there is a socially awkward nerd sort of character and you feel uncomfortable when they're on the screen. There could be something there! Maybe there's projection of how this person views themselves onto that character.

    You micro-grow everyday with every judgment and resentment you train yourself to avoid. Pettiness erodes the soul- and it's childish. Don't squash feelings, but forgive and expand beyond your one perspective with reason and empathy.
    Assert your personality with tact and authenticity everyday. Welcome those who match, and politely let go of those who cannot. You learn from every human interaction. The good and the bad.

    • @CRFSUIGENERIS
      @CRFSUIGENERIS 5 років тому +18

      We all get attached and aim to stay loyal. Please don't be ashamed of that. We all struggle to not be on an autopilot of bad habits and modes of thinking. It may seem like an all or nothing approach, but practicing emotional development takes time and we all take one step back then two steps forward. Quick story: when I practice piano at home I feel like I sound the same. Once in front of my teacher, I tell him the same thing. He told me that "you don't see the change everyday but I see you once a week and from my perspective it's a big step every week". Keep with the micro steps of discipline and hope- and remember, that the benefit outweighs the cost! You may lose the friends that may be toxic to you, but may most likely attract better people along the way. :) The good ones will stick around and be proud of you. Good luck! Hope this longwinded answer helps.

      @MosesEmmet 5 років тому +13

      me well first you need to determine what you would like to improve about yourself.. character growth would be getting up at 5am or trying to be a better listener- it very much serves you best and can be very achievement based. To grow emotionally you would do the same thing, look at yourself and decide I want to be more loyal, sympathetic, passionate- emotional growth helps you connect with others and deal with the world around you.

      Listen to Eckhart Tolle and the power of presence. I went through a deep depression and my religion helped me most (Islam - pls no racism by any user). But I think Echart Tolle - a spiritual teacher - teaches a lot of the same principles of Islam and Sufism in a much easy to understand ways to someone who is not a muslim. My depression took me to the stage of identity crises, and I feel I have been through what they call "dark night of the soul".. but believe me, once u get out of it life feels so much different.. happy.. and u get to understand the deeper meanings.. well still learning and wish u all the best. :)

    This video was recommended to me the day after I ended a 3 year relationship with someone I love because of some unknown mystery force that compelled me. I was blissful and in love, but I was a shutdown, weak, emotional, selfish, and blind lover, even if I hid it well. I couldn't be a version of myself I felt was complete and even though this is a girl I would be happy to spend the rest of my life with, I didn't feel like I could be my best for her. So yesterday, I pulled the trigger spontaneously and severed our bond with a certain clarity and precision I didn't know I was capable of. It shattered her, me as well. Usually I am timid and can't make up my mind during our life together - but when it all went down I just turned into a robot and shut down parts of my brain I new wouldn't let me do it.
    Today all I could think of is what the fuck max how could you do that. You love her. How could you hurt her, how could you give her up. What I did took a sort of courage I didn't know I had, and it scared me. I truly believe the action I took will not only help me, but help her, because we are very similar people with very similar problems. I care about her so much that I want whats best for her, not just whats best for myself, even if it means I don't get to have her, and she doesn't get to have me. I had to do it, and something inside me told me.
    Now I know why. I've lived in a fog during the last two years, and something deep down in my subconscious PUSHed me to do this. Like a robot carrying out commands. Your bodies desire to grow is real, and suffering is a part of existence and a message to yourself. I don't know if its your gut or your heart or your brain you need to listen to, but it my case, it was a part of all three.
    Hopefully I meet her again later in life, and we are both ready to start the rest of our journey as unique, complete people.
    Deep down you know what needs to be done. Don't block out the pain. Face it. Find courage.

      Max Gause I’ve been in a similar situation where the boy I was dating ghosted me. But he told me why he was shutting down and how he felt beforehand. I guess I just wanted to say goodbye in person since I think it’s more respectful that way. I was sad and depressed for weeks. Crying everyday as I wake up and every night before bed.
      A month has passed since then and I came to realized he might have done it because there was no other way. I think he loved me enough to let me go. And I loved him enough to forgive him and actually feel grateful for him because of it.
      I guess it’s not about whether or not he have the courage to confront me. It’s about having the courage to confront his feelings and be vulnerable just like you did. I respect that.

I walked away and although emotionally hurt, I gave a lot of thought to what the couple said. It never dawned on me that I looked so different from everyone else in class, spoke very different because French and English were not my original languages, and that other students that race, looks, and mannerisms were so important to them. None of that meant anything to me. But I heeded their advise and simply quit trying to make friends with anybody nor try to get a girlfriend. Grade 6 through 10, I barely spoke nor interacted with anybody at all. I assumed only physical and mental development are important after sixth grade to just now. School never spoke of emotional health. So I simply ignored emotions believing they are childish and mere vestiges of ancient times. I tried to make friends again in 1999. I was fooled to believing I did make friends and even a girlfriend. It felt good to me. I guess social predators saw my heavy inexperience being social and moved in for an attack. My, "girlfriend," convinced me to befriend her six friends and I did. I thought I had a small social circle. But it was all a cruel trap to use, betray, and then painfully abandon me and abuse me emotionally. I deleted them all from my life and have been in social isolation since 8 August 2000 at 18:34. I decided never to allow an attack like that to ever have the possibility of ever happening to me again and never went back to attempting to be social again. I have never had any true friends nor a girlfriend. All my family lives in a different continent. I have nobody in my life. But I never thought it was a problem to be lonely and disconnected from everyone. I do not even have coworkers in my shift. I have believed since 8 August 2000 that social connections, friends, a girlfriend, aquaintences, social interactions, are not important and serve no purpose in life anymore. I just chose to ignore all emotional and social aspects of life. I have done well with nobody in my life. I am extremely self reliant and independent. I never ask help from anybody, not even from professional service providers. I do advanced home, automotive, and property repair completely by myself because I refuse to be robbed by modern, "professionals," and I know nobody to ask for help on anything. I really can not really imagine getting assistance in all that I do. This lowly UA-cam video is the very first time I have heard emotional health is even something at all. I have always concentrated on physical and mental health. I just never knew emotional and social health needed attention also. Needless to say, it is very likely I am emotionally and socially extremely unhealthy. But what importance does it really have? It does not pay my bills, feed me, give me water and shelter. I does not give me protection. It really seems completely irrelevant to me. I am six years from finishing my mortgage payments. I have no credit usage, nor debt, at all, save for the mortgage. I am extremely physically healthy. I have a great paying job tuwt pays more than what college graduates make. I have no loans, leins, nor anything needing major expense to remedy. I still fail to see the importance of emotional health and social connections. I have never done it. I am doing fine.

    I spent 20 + years in finding out reasons for my chronic dissatisfaction and a constant feeling of inferiority... Had to beat myself thousands of times again against the walls of what I found out 8 years back was, emotional immaturity. Until I realized that that (can also be called for emotional rigidness) was the primar reason for my pain. Since then I've undergone an immense emotional growth which braught significant transformation in all important areas of my life, specifically on feeling connected, as that was essentiel for me to imrove. Now main focus is on self expression, and here I'm already applying tools I learned in enchancing the connection part.

    Emotional growth is not about ignoring, suppressing undesirable emotions, focusing only on good emotions. Maturity in emotions involves personality accountability, self-awareness and authenticity. Some aspects of us we can't get rid of, but most definitely, we can leave to manage them well and still make a significant impact in this world!

    What a great paradox. From the time we are born, our bones get flesh on their own. While on the other hand, our emotional growth is entirely dependent on our learnings and experiences! Which can only be enforced if we accept the realities of life. Brain and heart both grows and we are always confused between what to follow, i.e. choosing between sylla and Charybdis!

I never linked these two things to the overarching development of our emotional growth but it makes so much sense and offers such a lovely interpretation of the greater picture. Thank you for making your wonderful videos 💜💜

    A female relative of mine was always hungry for praise until we got really tired of praising everything about her but then got used to it. Some day she found one of similar videos and I saw the change in her personality but kept quiet. She told, out of context ,that she heard it wasn’t good to force people to praise you or keep asking them questions about yourself. They get bored if you. Although she learnt this very late in life , I think she’s a better person now.

    Thanks for reminding me why I'm a subscriber! I really needed to hear this today!
    I've been struggling with this these past few days. A nasty recurring combination of anhedonia (at least when it comes to what should be attended to), amotivation (see previous), and an inability to think clearly and focus enough to do those things which better promote emotional growth. Sheer laziness is one thing (which I have in spades), but it's far worse to suffer the repeated experience of wanting to pursue a goal or project while feeling too muddled to do so.
    This video inspired me to take another crack at accomplishing something today rather than put it off for another day.

    • @rmanenti2112
      @rmanenti2112 5 років тому +21

      I have asked myself that question so many times. I guess all we can do is keep trying to see things, and people, from different perspectives, trying to determine how can we adapt, check our behavior and thoughts or simply move away from what is not healthy for ourselves. Grow emotionally is a back and forth struggle in which we must be aware that sometimes we will fall off the horse, but we should always get up and ride again.

    • @FuneralBitch

      Perhaps then one might ask themselves why they need external acceptance. Don't forget you're an individual and being "one of their own" sounds a lot like wanting to be part of a hive mind. Remaining an individual is just as important as community, maybe even more so.

      Listen to Eckhart Tolle and the power of presence. I went through a deep depression and my religion helped me most (Islam - pls no racism by any user). But I think Echart Tolle - a spiritual teacher - teaches a lot of the same principles of Islam and Sufism in a much easy to understand ways to someone who is not a muslim. My depression took me to the stage of identity crises, and I feel I have been through what they call "dark night of the soul".. but believe me, once u get out of it life feels so much different.. happy.. and u get to understand the deeper meanings.. well still learning and wish u all the best. :)
      As Eckhart says.. suffering begins when we don't accept the present moment. I wish all world becomes free of suffering and pain. In shaa Allah.

    How to be an authentic and unapologetic person? I remember from my very childhood I used to be a quiet kid. Subconsciously I understood people's feelings more than my age. Even now when I am an adult it has been always difficult for me to express myself. And I get this inner turmoil of not expressing myself properly, I left my stable job because something was not feeling good. I am not currently doing any job because nothing seems attractive to me even those jobs which I used to be so much passionate about.
    I know I am a witty, sassy, caring person. I am so many things. But not everytime I can express these emotions. And even if I express my trueself, my surroundings makes me feel guilty about myself. From my childhood I never said No to anyone, and now it seems I am suffocating within myself. I want to feel unapologetic about myself. I don't want to feel guilty continuously for being myself. I am going to be 25 next week. I have suffered for 25 years, I don't want to suffer anymore.😢
