Bro, you got a ❤️ from JP. You are lucky. And also, yes, me too.

This is so powerful for me. For 12 years as a firefighter, the boss of a London fire station, I had horrible anxiety, fear of everything all of the time. I didn’t take sick leave because I knew I was good at my job and no way was I going to roll over and give up. The only relief I got from my problems came when there was a “shout”, an emergency that took my attention off myself and made me look elsewhere. It was a tough time and I needed help to recover but now I’m 66, I work in Spain as a skydive cameraman and I have learned Spanish language well enough to speak with friends, I probably sound to them like a 5 year old 😂 The message? Never give up and never allow yourself to make excuses because life is beautiful and you are stronger than you believe.

It was also such a great response to the original question. Courage is often considered the opposite of fear. So instead of going "Yes, yes I'm very courageous" he makes the ultimately humble response by saying that he is infact scared. He just happens to be scared of something much deeper than conventional fears.

Sometimes others are responsible and revenge may even be therapeutic to an extent, but blaming every single problem in our lives on those people who fucked up isn't healthy for us either.

Dear Dr Peterson, your first comment struck a very resonant chord. I have gone through an incredibly painful divorce where a lot of lies have been told about me and consequently I have pretty much lost everything. Including my children. The one thing I undertook from the outset was that I would tell the truth, whether it reflected well upon me or not. Initially, I foolishly believed that justice was a thing rather than the quest to "win". I went through some very dark phases in this process but the amazing thing about being open and honest is that it rewards you in a way that I hadn't truly understood. I am able to look at myself in the mirror. I told the truth I live an honest life and I damn well like what I see. Now my accusors have to live with and continue to promulgate their lies for the rest of their lives whilst I have been freed by the truth. Not just in the words that I said but also in the ability to repeat the action in the future. I tell people exactly what I think of them I am (often brutally) honest about myself and I love it. I have over the years listened to many of your lectures and I am a better person for doing so. I clean my intellectual, spiritual and emotional rooms on a regular basis. I do not consider self-reflection to be a selfish or egotistical action any longer and I have rediscovered an inner peace I thought I had lost in my marriage to my ex-wife. Truth, in all its incarnations, has been the catalyst. Thank you!

@@stariadreamtea yeah I was bed bound for 3 years it can get really bad. And it’s very important to know your limits, if you don’t and you over do it you’ll knock yourself out for 3 weeks. But also doing nothing is not constructive because it locks up your bones, your muscles aren’t being used, and it really fucks with your mental health being stuck in one room constantly for 12 years. Not knowing your limits will leave you adrift, not knowing what is possible leaves you in a position where doing nothing is almost preferable because it feels like there’s no consequences even if there is, and you don’t feel as vulnerable as when you’re pushing yourself to try and better yourself either physically or mentally. I spent all those years agony every moment constantly, I’ve had my face split open it didn’t even feel comparable to the pain the conditions open, I’ve had to do test after test it was never ending, it’s a hellish experience. So it’s always important to know those limits so you can better yourself and work on your health so one day we can break this cycle we’re stuck in. I’ve recently been taking this medication called LDN and it’s effectiveness on people with M.E is about 74% and on the short couple weeks I’ve been on it I’ve noticed myself with more energy so I’m putting more focus on getting better. If you’re struggling with energy and pain I highly recommend seeing an osteopath for your bones, a dietician to make sure you’re not allergic to any of the foods you’re having that is causing bloating, pain etc, and looking into the LDN medication to help with your energy. Also be very careful of what doctors prescribe you, I was kept on pregabalin for 4 years and I looked up all the side effects and decided to come off the meds, the pain I was getting was way less, way more energy; the brain fog was better.

I do have one very good friend who has become an official carer, and even with that help it's a very isolated experience. I am 34yrs old. I got sick when I was around 11-15. Started needing to be homeschooled after 15. At your age I was doing what you're doing and catching public transport doing all the painful appointments alone, by myself and with zero support. I was not getting better. I feel that's most likely very similar to what you are doing. It's important you get some kind of help or support. I've only very recently gotten 1 person. No network or family help. Just 1. But it makes a difference. Because if you do it alone all your energy will be spent dragging yourself to things and you won't have a single drop of fun or leisure. You'll just need to sleep again. Your life will be doctors and sleep. And that's hell. Now at least I have a car and someone to drive me. I still can't make all my appointments and there is still too many and not enough FUN. I rarely have fun and it's deeply upsetting. I think that's why my channel is all about that. How are you with fun? 🎉🔑 I think it's a key factor missing in the lives of people with M.E. We are extremely resilent people! The problem with being strong is it takes a long time to break. Maybe you never break. And that sounds like a good thing, but it can be a bad thing. Because if you never break it's like you're a workhorse and you just keep plodding through hell. Maybe of you break and show someone you can't do it alone they might help. But often that's also not true because with the stigma they will just think you're lazy or to try harder. The antidote to victim mentality is to be a bit more selfish. Have more fun. Actually schedule in time to enjoy your life and have a reason to get up in the morning. What are you fighting for? You need a happy reason. People with M.E. tend to be brave and noble. They have huge world causes, family trauma and big ideas looming over their head. But they need to be well enough to do those. So what of filling your cup of health first. What of fun, pleasure, joy and meaning? A life worth all this suffering.

Dr. Peterson, I hope you don’t have to wonder how appreciated you are by so many. Thank you for your eloquence and precision of language to provide a workable message for so many lives. October 2019 I was hit by a car on my motorcycle. The driver had lost his license 11 years prior due to DUIs and the car wasn’t his nor was it insured and he ran away on foot leaving me for dead in a ditch. Among the many injuries I sustained I had a broken T6 and a shattered T5 in my spine. Luckily I wasn’t killed instantly but I had a lot to account for in my recovery along with a severe concussion and other broken bones. I remember having the choice in my mind to stay or leave this world and whether it was really my decision or not I chose to stay but at the same time the decision was also to not play the victim in this. I chose to not only live but to improve on my way of living as a father and a man in general. My current situation at my job at a public school has me in an interesting position as I work maintenance drive buses and maintain our entire athletic complex. I have few real limitations but with buses as it beats my back bouncing around in a seat for hours. Unfortunately my boss seems to not care to find a way to allow me to reduce my daily bus activity to a substitute basis. It seems there are some high school minded games being played at my expense that I have little to no interest in playing but for the sake of my health I worry that if I don’t join the plot enough to get what I need I may be shortening my already shortened working life. Physically I mean. I refuse to feel victimized yet I can’t find the right words to make them understand how impossible it is for me to sustain this level of activity and have a life outside of work. I feel relief in your words and advice for these kinds of issues and I am even more personally thankful for them. Good day sir.

Hey Jordan Peterson, I know the chances are low you will see this comment but I just wanted too say thank you. I’m a young father and you’ve inspired me and made me feel like I still have a chance to be successful and enjoy my life.

Try the Munk debate with Stephen Fry as a starter.

When I suffered from severe depression and suicidal inhibitions, victimhood was entrenched in my life. This is immensely helpful to make sense of things.

i like the 'mutual recognition of the soul' line. when i'm really angry at someone, i feel like i could tear them to pieces like a chimp, but when i look in their eyes i'm reminded of their godliness/soul and that makes it a lot harder to demonize them. that's why the internet is so great for turning us against each other. no eye contact.

The difference between a hero and a tragedy is courage. Thank you Dr. Peterson, for inspiring a whole generation to embody logos and face their dragons honorably.

Excellent Dr. Peterson. When I thought of how to avoid getting in the victim trap, the only answer that arose within me is to be truthful. When someone in retelling your experience, correct them when they represent you as a victim. We all are complicit to some degree in the situations we are in. I would embrace the attitude, "I helped create this, I will help correct it." Because it keeps me able to decide a direction to move. Movent is important, it prevents stagnation. Stagnation can lead to rot. Rot is not good. So you must stay true to what is real. I guess my question would be, what of those who have trouble identifying what is true for them? I've been practicing Tibetan Buddhism for many years, so striving to become self aware is easier for me. But when one has had no guidance, what then? The victim trap is easy to fall into as we've seen with "woke" attitudes like the "me, too" thing.

My opinion there as an American and someone who has been victimized before is some people need therapy, whether individual or group therapy, to get there. Some things people can't just move past or change without help. The one positive with COVID is that therapy is losing some of the stigma and the need is insatiable now. You never know what kind of trauma someone is hiding. One of the groups I am in for therapy is just for depressed people. You come as you are and support people who understand as you process things. People who feel victimized don't naturally seek out that kind of help. The woke movement skipped over that process and went straight to the fastest way to what people wanted. The woke movement started because people who didn't have a voice or understand how to articulate their needs and struggles jumped on whatever sounded like what they were always trying to say and then stopped there. People here feel heard and powerful by being woke, because they don't see other possibilities to meet those needs nor do they feel the need to find an alternative or question themselves. Not sure how to remedy that. That's just my opinion of what I saw happen here and why.

I agree with all you say. With the exception of your downplaying of the Me Too Movement. Yes, some aspects of it are not working. But for many women it was the first time they were able to have a voice about abuse from males. And I believe that many men were shocked about the statistics of abuse. I think the problem came when some of the celebrities got involved. Not everyone is a victim who has been hurt. Some people can speak about it and not feel victimized. That seems to be the premise and goal here. But I disagree with your example. Thanks for your post.

@@WeHealUniversity I didn't mean to downplay anything. I just finished a PTSD course because of a sexual assault I finally remembered and had months of flashbacks afterwards. And, only my therapist knows about it. Worst part was flashbacks of sexual abuse in the past that conditioned me to freeze in traumatic events. This led to future victimization because I was a weak person people sensed didn't know how to fight back. I would not minimize anything the movement did for women. I worded it poorly and should have come up with a more appropriate. When the "Me Too" movement happened, it was traumatizing for me. That was because what happened to me was something people were sharing that I never had a language to describe at the time to I minimized it. When thinking of that analogy, I saw it as a movement where everyone started sharing stories and experiences about what personally happened to them. My brother is darker than I am had many experiences he told us for the first time about how he was treated by police in ways he should have taken to a lawyer. And many of my darker friends started sharing things too. I didn't mean to minimize it or make it look small. I just meant to say it was the next movement that people used to finally open up about what happened to them

Beautiful speech Jordan and wholeheartedly agree regarding avoiding victimhood. There really does appear to be a sort of culture of victimhood becoming more and more prominent and it’s alarming. I would love a podcast dedicated to victimhood, personal responsibility, identity, censorship and offence culture. I see the connections forming between these things (and more) and am concerned where it’s already at and where it could further lead. I would also like to add that, like so many others, you have helped me greatly. You have reminded me who I want to be and what I want to be about. As result I will be returning to university this year to finish my Psychology degree (honours year) as a first step while continuing with my personal development everyday. So thank you Jordan Peterson for continuing to help me everyday 💛

Sometimes absolute genious, sometimes only words.

"Trauma" "When I change, the world changes!"💡 As someone who has actually gone through a lot of trauma, I would like to share my experience with you. I've been through several traumatic experiences as a victim of sexual harassment and various acquired traumas from congenital heart disease. I have suffered from a number of phobias, ranging from phobias of sudden death. Also, I have acquired an acquired disability. I had a slight aphasia, so I couldn't speak properly, I couldn't recognize people's speech, and I also developed dyslexia. I was literally unable to do anything, my body was heavy like wet cotton, and my depression was quite severe. When I was a teenager, I had no will to open a textbook even though tomorrow was an exam. Because I had the basic skills, I got decent grades on the test at the beginning of the semester without studying. However, my grades were not always good as I went through the middle and second half of the semester. I was a senior in primary school, but I got to the point where I pee at school. These memories are still one of the most shocking pieces of memories for me as an adult. Depression dulls all the nerves in humans. It's like a very evil devil. I used to barely come home, leaning against the wall to hide it from people noticing it. It became something that made me lose all my self-esteem and all my cognitive abilities. It was quite serious. My teachers were very worried about me. Their reaction was that they couldn't figure out why I was doing that. Because before that, I received many awards as an excellent student in my class, and I was the class leader or representative. I completely destroyed their expectations of me, and there was nothing they could do for me. In fact, no one was there to help me. My parents couldn't afford to even care about me because the family economy suddenly became quite difficult. I understand and appreciate my parents' past difficult lives. They did their best. In any case, therefore, those were the weights of my life that I had to carry on my own. So I had a hard time in my beautiful youth. Fortunately, congenital heart disease was dramatically discovered, and after an emergency operation, after a long recovery period, I am now almost completely recovered. Almost all of my acquired disabilities and traumas have been recovered. I received a look down from many people as I suffered from these physical and mental illnesses. Because they judged me based only on my condition. Their mistake was that they didn't have the eye to see my true self and my potential. When the public's psychology is judged to be of something lower than their own, the seeds of arrogance begin to grow. What I experienced intensely in this process is that all of this is solely the burden of "me". No one can ever help. I desperately realized that only I had to overcome this hardship, and I tried to recover steadily. First of all, I trained to simplify nerves that become overly sensitive to shock or illness. You have to keep things simple in some aspect of the events that happen in your life. And if someone did something evil to traumatize me, I thought it was simple. "It's your sin. And it's just your mental world. It has nothing to do with me." I thought this way. It's so natural. To explain in more detail, I'll just keep it short because the article is too long. I've simplified what I'm going to simplify that way. And I found a code of humor in my life, I laughed a lot, I appreciated the beautiful, the pure, and the justice, and I loved them. And above all else, I strengthened my mind through martial arts, etc. to treat my acquired disability. And besides that, I made a lot of effort for treatment. Also, I tried to unlock my potential and it paid off. I have a lot of confidence right now. All of this was overcome by purely my own mental strength without taking any psychiatric medications. Everyone can do it. If you lock yourself in the trauma, the result will be only terrible. The place you squat down with it will be your last seat. The way to get out of it is to accept it all as my burden and make an effort to overcome it calmly and steadily. You never have to listen to all the negative things people say to you. It's all their mental world, and it's just their intellectual level. It all becomes a heavy burden on them. When someone gives me hardship, I rather make it a springboard of healing and development. You have your own unique and sublime your life After overcoming all hardships, life will surely present you with a sense of fulfillment that is full and precious.

"And believe me I see and felt things I’d say 99% of you at least, could never imagine." this sounds pretty condescending bruh

@@tottenhamhotspurish I said examples, you didn’t have to say your own personal experience. I’m interested in knowing and I’m open minded. However I would respect if you weren’t comfortable talking about it, you did write this in a public space so I thought I’d ask and see what you said

Grateful for Dr. Peterson’s insight. Things are changing and I have more clarity after listening to him. Hell is real.

You make me feel amazing. God bless you

The only way I could cope with being a victim was to dissociate. I still do it even years after.. Everyone needs a way to forget. I consider myself lucky. Some people have to drink or do drugs to escape from their mind that remembers and feels too much. People like me have amnesia on auto pilot. It's weird due to the missing time, but I couldn't go on living without it.

Chris Rock just showed the world how not to play the victim, while Mr. Smith played an award-winning performance of the perfect victim 😭

Excellent! Thank you.

Wisdom Spoken Dr Peterson.

Sometimes, you are a victim. And it's important to recognize when you are the victim. And yes, sometimes you need to openly be the victim, in order to fight something and end victimhood, or at least make the predator pay for preying on you. Don't act as if you are a victim, when you aren't. But realize you are, when you are and don't pretend you're not. Nothing good comes out of it.

I agree with this. Sometimes you are the victim. It happens. You can still take responsibly, and hold the perpetrator accountable.

As a predator, I love victims. But I'll help you not be one if you don't want to be one, truly. Good person to ask how not to break is someone who can watch people shatter. Problem is many want to play victim. So... their choice

Strength is respectable. Weakness invites or even deserves exploitation at times. But I like making people stronger

@@gregg6398 you're a psychopath. It is not your job to make people stronger, it is not your job to prey on people. Nobody likes to be a victim and weakness doesn't deserve exploitation. Weakness sparks empathy in healthy human beings. Your definition of "strong" is probably just as sick as your definition of "weakness". Turning people into what you think to be strong has nothing to do with strength. Your perceived superiority doesn't come from strength, it comes from being different. You are not wired like healthy, "good" people are wired and thus they don't "see it coming", they don't expect you to be the sick yuck that you are - otherwise you wouldn't be able to hurt them. You're not more intelligent, you don't need to account for emotions and empathy - which makes every equasion and decision infinitely easier. Being a predator doesn't make you strong, it makes you bad. So you're certainly not stronger - you're deficient. You can not be cured, because you aren't capable to understand that you need to be cured. I pray that one day, one man or woman or other force will cure society from the plague that you are. And if you plan on making me miserable, because I exposed you for the POS that you are: That makes you a liar on top of it all! Because you stated, that you don't make people your victim, that don't want to be one. And I assure you, I don't want to be one. So yuck right off!

I’m a victim of the victim hood society !
