If you’re upset, crying/being sad is a better response than getting mad. Unfortunately, I learned very young that getting angry was less embarrassing because crying was seen as not “manly.” I hope younger generations learn better, because sadness evokes empathy from people, whereas getting angry pushes people away.

As someone who got diagnosed with BPD because of anger issues I used to have - don't demonize any emotion. It's what made it so, so much harder to not have anger outbursts, being taught that anger is bad. Anger is fine too. It's expressions of it that can be damaging, as well as its tendency to get too intense (i.e. it's easy to get lost in it). As long as you account for the two it's an absolutely fine emotion to feel and even express to a degree. As are all emotions. Basically you want to look for inappropriate expressions of it, as with any emotion. In anger's case, this entails becoming better at telling when anger is justified, when someone is actually hurting you or your loved ones, a sort of last response. You have to become good at telling when you are actually being slighted and anger is the only way to get out of that situation. Uncommon, but it pops up. Abusive situations, attacks on the street and whatnot. And even when its a healthy emotion to feel, again, you have to moderate it. If used as such, you have achieved healthy anger.

When I saw the title for this video, I initially thought it was going to be about how crying tears the way we do isn’t a trait we see in any other animals. This video was very interesting, and I’d love to see more discussion about how and why humans cry with tears, while other animals just have vocal cries.

I’ve also read the philosophical works much of his own ideas are quasi summaries of-if you start with gold, no matter how much crap you mix in, there will still be some gold. But Peterson commits the great sin of academic achievement: he mistakes being well informed on one subject (and I’ll even leave aside the stark reality that he is not actually all that successful in his own expertise) means he is competent on all subjects after only a little extra research. This leads to him constantly spewing blatant misinformation-such as claiming ADHD isn’t real, but a result of “boys not getting rough and tumble play” based on a single rat study that itself is almost 50 years out of date, the author of which didn’t even claim that was the result, and that same author has walked back his own much milder claim (that physical social play could lessen the severity of adhd symptoms) in lieu of the preponderance of more recent studies. And please, don’t take my word for it. On this platform you can find Dr. Barkley, a man whose google scholar page I encourage you to verify for yourself, going over in detail why Peterson’s wrong in 2 videos. Thing is, that’s just one specific issue. And it causes harm-Peterson uses his platform to spread genuinely harmful misinformation. It adds to existing stigma, and that drives policy. Ex: There is a near global shortage of ADHD medicine almost entitled because of DEA policy based on unfounded fears of systemic abuse by people with ADHD, yet the data is very clear that it doesn’t happen. But Peterson is just… often wrong. You can find countless genuine experts refuting basic factual error each time he drifts into a new field. He has allowed his celebrity and attention to become a substitute for practicing any of the principles he preaches.

If you've seen certain women validate each other (girl's girls), you'll know that there's very different expressions of validation out there that are not always fitting for everyone. I also feel like you felt validation is like, "aw baby, it's okay", but that's not validation as much as consoling, and a very specific type of consoling that I personally wouldn't enjoy very much. Okay yea in your first reply you said "not a hug and some cheesy hallmark card words of affirmation". A hug and words of affirmation, are not inherently validation at all. That's primarily consoling. You could hypothetically hug someone and say "you got this, you can do it!", whilst at the same time not validating them at all. So, if you're talking about consoling in that manner, then I completely agree with you, and I too, would very much dislike if someone did that with me. Consoling is another whole other subject that I had to learn and get good at. I wasn't comfortable with consoling, and the usual examples of it are generally when women do it, and women are often socialised very differently, so for a man to try and utilise some lessons there is not so easy. Ya gotta figure out what works for you, while it still being effective. Then, if you can't touch them or hug them (easier mode), then you REALLY need to understand and utilise validation, otherwise it's going to be pretty awkward.

@LookatRealNumberes What is what? Your first sentence is hard to figure out. Capitalism is an economic model where those who supply the money needed to produce goods get to decide what to do with the profit. Communism is an economic model where those who actually produce the goods get to decide what to do with the profit. The differences aren't as big as they're made out to be, mostly because critics of both tend to ignore the authoritarian axis of the political compass when choosing examples of bad capitalism/communism. i.e. how centralized the government of that society is. What I mean with this: Both can be market driven or centrally planned. That said, there is something self-destructive about free market capitalism that any of the other types (free market communism, planned market capitalism, and planned market communism) on the first two axes doesn't have: Free markets lead to money concentrating in the hands of the best traders instead of the best producers. Trading wealth gain has no limits, you can trade more and more and more forever. So this can create massive inequality. Producing goods on the other hand has a clear limit: There's only so many hours in a day. In addition, under capitalism once you have more wealth than someone else, you have a greater abillity to get even more wealth than someone else, i.e. you win faster each time you win and you lose faster each time you lose. It accelerates in both directions, so it makes the gap between rich and poor widen faster and faster. This leads to corporate mergers and kids born as billionaires, but more importantly it also drives wages down. Because why would they pay higher wages if there's no competition? If your company owns the marketplace (Amazon for example), then why would you ever treat anyone better than you need to? This means there are no free markets anymore, because there is no competition. So free market capitalism destroys itself, leading to feudalism. Always.

@@lightbeingform much like bear traps, which are for trapping/maiming/killing bears but, cause collateral damage when misused... capitalism is an ideological economic system, which causes collateral damage when misused and misapplied. Applying it to psychology or morality, or anthropomorphizing it as if it *does* something are a few examples of such misuse. There are plenty more.

When it’s flu shot season and babies/kids come in to the doctors I immediately leave the room, I literally cannot handle hearing the crying, and one time I was in for an operation for the last time at the children's hospital and the screaming and crying sent me into a full blown panic attack (I don’t get those, ever)

I'm not crying, I'm just sweating from my eyes.

Dammit I was half way through collecting my tears into a spray bottle already.

That whistling on your theme gets me all the time lol but love your videos!

It is interesting that you would assume that people's aggression would decrease when people are crying. Depending on the situation, maybe I would agree, but I've seen too many people cry crocodile tears that it tends to make people more aggressive in response.

Crying gets used a lot to manipulate people, so it makes sense as a trained response. If someone is just smelling tears, they don’t see a face or hear any explanation for why the person is crying. So, automatically, your brain has signals to decrease aggression, but socially, you have learned to keep your guard up when you feel vulnerable. Not that everyone gets aggressive, but that makes sense to me.

They wanted me to figure out crying. Crying is a physical cleansing of the brain after emotional trauma We cry and cleanse our brain and we feel better right after crying. Telling a child not to cry is not correct. Crying can help us process the bad things that happen to us. Crying makes you a better person and the process works.

My baby cried with actual tears when she was around 2weeks old. It surprised me a lot.

There's a curious overlap with my former abuser saying that he feels better when he sees me cry, and this. Which is quite morbid. He himself stated that abusing me to the point of tears helped him regulate his aggression, so he was better able to perform at work and with other social interactions. And now I feel a bit of solace in knowing that at least there's a scientific explanation as to why.

That response for babies must be different for me cuz I get nervous when I see them cry...

I think it's the vulnerability that makes you feel like you can trust somebody.

The soundtrack for this episode should be Sniff 'n' the Tears' "Driver's Seat", because... sniffin' the tears! I vote for that "game" with the farmer to be called "The Crying Game". Last thing: It's funny to me that Study Hall lets you get credit with ASU -- I already have a bachelor's degree from ASU!

I may have something backwards but I want to help crying people but babies? NOPE, my instinct tells me to get as far away as humanly possible.

It's a good thing they decided to use EEG instead of MRI for the subjects wearing headphones.

And then there are those people who just get super angry when they see people cry. Probably some kind of defense mechanism to avoid feeling sadness, would be my guess.

You can’t use games to accurately measure aggression. People will do things in video games that they normally won’t do in real life. Especially uncharacteristically aggressive things because the consequences aren’t real.

@maivaiva1412

You can, when you make both groups play a game and measure the difference. It's not a measurement of absolute levels of aggression, it's a measurement of the difference between untempered and tenpered (by tears) aggression.

Poor Reid. So many people using his chair!

I remember before meeting up with my girlfriend at the time, I had all these points I wanted to make and evidence I wanted to provide for why I believe I was treated unfairly when she herself admitted I did nothing wrong. She was clearly very distressed from her personal life and was sobbing the whole time and looking back at it now it subdued that rational demeanor. I didn't get to say everything I wanted to and would've felt guilty for making her feel worse, instead I was more focused on being gentle than explaining my side of the story. I still don't know if that was the right decision since part of the reason she was crying was because she was breaking up with me.

Ive rarely, if ever, had a PERSON not treat me as “soft or “weak” for crying, in and outside of relationships, sry that happened to you sara keep the faith that we are intrinsically good

I used to use ear plugs but joined the modern era and now I use noise canceling earbuds.

Evolution loves honest signals. It’s not a surprise we have a few highly social emotional responses that are much more honest than others, like crying and blushing vs smiling or frowning.

I had a cousin who could cry in demand and it looked genuine, she told me just think of the saddest thing that makes you cry, that was it. Since then I just don’t trust anyone who cries in front of me. I have been in situations where it’s been so frustrating to get someone to actually listen and understand and I have felt my own body trying to cry, that makes me shutdown fast I hate it when others do this to me, so I be dammed if I will do it to someone else. It takes a lot of steady deep breaths before I can continue. My Mom told me as I got older that as a baby I never cried, not even when I fell over nor when I was hungry, she would come in to feed me during the night and I would be just laying there looking up at the mobile toy above my crib. On the other hand my brother never stopped crying 24/7 it drove everyone batty, he on the other hand was very much the manipulator all his life. When I have been crying I am on my own and the flood gates take for ever to shut down, I think that’s due to the fact I rather cry in private. I don’t count crying at the movies, some movies are perfect for that very reason. It’s been found that some people under a lot of stress feel better after a good crying session, that’s very true, that’s why I prefer to be in private when I cry for something that’s happening in my life. I have found that going to a movie that you know will trigger the waterworks is a great way to have that much needed release without having someone hovering over you while you cry.

😳 Jesus man. Don't admit that in public. That's vile

I think the reason people see crying associated with trustworthiness is that people still tend to hide away when theyre sad or crying, so it garners this sense of "oh, youre in a vulnerable state right now" .

When adults cry, it really gets to me and I feel it myself as I am generally more emotional than the average, but I never had that with babies or kids like most other people do and never understood the whole parental instinct. I never really thought anything of it, but it might actually be something to do with being on the ASD as I am starting to learn and be more aware of that side of me.

What would be the evolutionary benefit (if any) to crying while you laugh? Does it happen to everyone? What triggers it (psychological/physiological/both)? How does crying affect the person doing the crying? Does it trigger an hormonal response?

I always hated the stereotype that men don't cry. I've had it applied to me by others and it feels like the only safe place to cry is in my bedroom, alone.

Still better than Monopoly. 100%

2:57 - I don't think I can really blame the researchers here... for logistical reasons it does just make sense to do it that way, since the general population does like to try and follow their gender-norms and expectations (for the particular society and time) to a very high degree... Though this could be remedied for the men via a survey that asks if they cry easily during movies and whatnot (and if they're up for the task), which plenty of men do. I imagine they actually already would have done this for the women though, since plenty of women don't cry during movies. So, yea would be been more interesting to see men included there.

Science: infant tears reduce our aggression. Latina moms: hits you to give you a reason to cry

An Infant crying will never create a stronger response than a fully aware and self conscious adult crying

As a dude if someone asked me to collect tears for them I honestly don't know if how or if I even could make myself cry short of putting soap or something in there. idek know when the last time I cried was, probably a year or more

Crying babies, some people want to smother them with love, others prefer a pillow.

"My dog stepped on a bee...". Nope. Nothing. Could be faked crying?! :O

Renaming this was a good move

When can I buy some tear extract? Really need it for gaming nights.

If I see weeping characters in a "investing" game, I'd probably put the small money on it because it looks fun, and I'm just want to see what is happening, vs. a stoic character that appears boring. Not because I'd feel particular sorry for "the poor dude".

If your teacher isn't American, that's not surprising. American English sounds entirely different from British English, even though most of the vocabulary and grammar is still shared (Americans and Brits are just very used to watching each other's media so we don't really notice the differences) . He's also speaking in a more casual style than you're probably used to from school, but mixing in a lot of technical words since it's a science video. It might be helpful to watch the video with captions in English. Judging from your comment, your problem is not that you don't know the words it's that you're not used to hearing them spoken and haven't heard this dialect.

If someone comes to you crying, it means you are probably their last resort, meaning the crier will be in gratitude-dept, hence more trust they will pay you back

Am I the only one thinking of the Old Bird's cries from Lethal Company

Weird. I'm a full grown woman, and baby cries make me disgusted, angry and annoyed. I don't act on it, of course, and I will never have children, but I'm way more caring about crying adults, because something is actually wrong when adults cry. When children cry it's because that's all they really do when upset.

Sneezing is not normal

Calling babies "manipulators" is kinda problematic because there are still too many people out there who believe that it's "spoiling" a baby if you immediately take care of them whenever they cry. It's just an instinct. They can't take care of neither their physical nor emotional needs themselves.

Also important is knowing that meeting their “needs” and meeting their “wants” are two different things. Needs can be love and affection. Wants are stuff like sweets, toys. So for example, if a toddler wants you to buy them a toy, responding with love doesn’t mean you give them the toy. And not giving in to their demands doesn’t mean you need to respond with negative energy.
