  2. Let's say hypothetically you're the one with the ability to communicate and your partner isn't there….(yet) ( Or so they lead you to believe) but you wait for them to get to that point you put yourself out there you communicate your wants and needss vocalize without leaving anything to the imagination really Willing to wait because you're in love….. How much more do you put yourself out they're communicating your wants and needs being vulnerable while that person just plain out refuses to meet them or. Quite possible just doesnt get it. I honestly don't know how that could be possible but for sake of the argument. uses them to make you feel small.

  3. Excellent talk, thank you both so very much!! Excellent ideas and conversation… I so want to know anything and everything I’m believing that is false … I’m going to keep trying no matter how many times I fail … I’ve learned so much from all my many failures… lots of new ideas come from failures too….journaling is healing and so soothing and getting to communicate deeply and genuinely well with someone is a pure gift 🌳

  5. Gah! Every time I hear JBP say you need to be in an intimate relationship to function effectively, I feel so distressed. I have been single for 4 years and haven’t found anyone I’d want to share my life with.

  6. Thank you for such a helpful discussion. I believe our greatest hurts come through relationships, but so does our greatest healing. So, yes, we need to have company on our journey of healing and towards full health.

  7. For 18:36 to add that an intimate relationship is about emotional support and trust that allows one to express, test, experiment in a safe environment. Being part of safe team formed by the family that support you give the person an advantage in the outside world. This is relevant for all family members.

  8. We've traded community for goals and achievements (although hilariously we could accomplish more with a community), and intimacy for convenience. Adults spend a lot of time busying themselves. How often have you heard someone say they're so busy they can't find time to connect?

  9. Gosh, I wish I had seen this a few months ago. Introverted, moved to a new area, already tried and failed at being familiar with a few people I see on a daily basis. Got the cold shoulder or the old side-eye. I'll try again, and do it your way Dr. Peterson.

  10. I don’t ask for help because I needed a big favor. I asked months in advance and was told absolutely I got you. Days before this big event the person backed out. I understood due to the circumstances. But then found out this person made time to meet up with the man she was having an affair with. That was in 2019 and I haven’t asked for help since then. And if I do it’s my mom.

  11. Being a good person hold no value. Being perceived as a good person does… meaning that being immoral so I look moral is more valuable to most people then actually being moral. It’s extremely hard to be a moral person and stand by your convictions, with that said I would happy if people were just who they pretended to be. The world would be a great place

  12. I feel the culture changed in the 80’s that generation born in the 60’s became extremely selfish and the value of being a good person and working at it got replaced with how I am perceived is more important then who I actually am. Also money got inflated with intelligence and morals so if you were financially successful it meant you were smart and morally righteous. I feel the younger generation has swung back into community and not being defined by their job and money but that generation (people who are 50-65 now) is the worst generation ever in America. Hands down. They were given the greatest economy ever, plenty of work and money for everyone, no one had to sacrifice anything ever, they didn’t value education because it didn’t matter. And then in the 2000’s the world changed and instead of working and evolving that generation cried and went on disability. Got a bunch of 55 yr old men blaming kids todays of being lazy when they have 2 degrees, 3 jobs, perfect credit, and can’t even get into an apartment with a co signer while they complain about not getting enough from disability because they broke their wrist in the 80’s….

  13. 😇…planning brings up the fear of committing to your dreams…loosing your intuition…straying away from G*d vs getting nearer to your real purpose…unless your dreams are intuitive…😂
