Are deep thinkers more lonely?||Jordan Peterson||#shorts

[jeromeur]

It's always hard to be the first one to break out of the "herd's" thinking. Jordan has passed through that stage and owns a channel and people who follows him, so it's easier for him, but what that other guy said is also true.
Nietzshce wasn't really known and lives miserably among the people until he was gone and people starts to recognize his writing.

"As I made my thoughts more public" there's the answer, you need to be ultra public in order to find people like you. It's not the every day person.

[ZinniasandAsters]

100% the are. Absolutely. It’s hard to find someone that wants to dig deep and look at the core. They are out there, but it can take a long time to find them. Most people work best at the surface level.

I can feel this to my bones especially the "narrowing" part.

I always thought of myself as someone intellectual. In my free time I always liked brewing ideas, but they were a mess of concepts i was never really able to express properly. They were a lot and "low resolution".

When I got into uni my "vision" narrowed, but I'm able to be more precise and my thoughts are way more clear.

At one point I thought I became dumber lmao.
It's a relief I came across this video.

[kelseykciuk]

Yeah the deeper that I started to think I started weeding out the people that weren't actually my friends and I started to actually make real long-lasting friendships

[akashrajkishore]

He's right. Deep thinkers just need to overcome this insecurity they have that others may not understand them, and just accept the fact that not everyone is going to be like them.

Its also a local vs global phenomenon. In my circle of people I have never met someone else who truly understands me, but globally through social media I have found many people who think similarly to myself.

[jaimemagnum]

I'd love to be able to express the way Peterson does, his speech structure is so clear.

[serenity_in_reverie]

since i was kid, I've often got comments like, "you think too much", "you ask too much" and i became a "monk" in my room because it's the only place i feel comfortable with my own thoughts but Jordan is right, i find that writing down my thoughts is really therapeutic. I don't use social media but i occasionally share my thoughts through YouTube comment section or in Pinterest, even in Quora too, and some people told me that they appreciate my thoughts.

[daveytrump]

They are both correct!
The more intelligent person chooses themselves to isolate.
Your thoughts may well attract more people online so would appear your more popular but your still lonely in real life.

[arzoo_singh]

Please understand their are two parts to it .
1) Thinking Divergent and convergent thinker .You can be really smart, look details also have put of the box approach ..you are simply brilliant.

2) Communication skill : How do you put that thought process in public domain .
Most brilliant thinker are not affective communicator .
But you may be amazing at speaking skill but if you really dig deep inside, you may not be a brilliant thinker .

Communication matters a lot .

It's alright for JP to say that, he's somewhat famous/well known and an extrovert to boot. I am the opposite but also a deep thinker I guess, questioned many things that just didn't add up during these last two and a half years but hardly find anyone else who can see things the same way, ....I feel so alone yes, only the people at my Stand In The Park meet make me feel normal.

[jamesbarlow]

Nietzsche said that the best idea against any thought was its popularity.
Jordan is so popular largely because there is little that is genuinely innovative or original in his thinking.

[eternalrage]

This is something I've actually struggled with, as well as being overly emotional. I had to overcome those feelings, and get to the point where I wasn't reliant upon them. Much easier said than done. I've reinterpreted the saying men don't have x emotion, to you should react in such a way that you don't need that emotion. After I got control of my emotions, I'm no longer depressed, sad, angry, stressed, anxious, and have started to put my life in order. I definitely laugh at very inappropriate times, but can't help it. Everything else is trivial compared to wanting cease existing for 25 years of my life.

[mistypedhi]

When I make my thoughts public I get ridicule or laughed at. Maybe it is cause my public platform was facebook where I had less than 100 mostly closed minded old high school classmates and some more distant family members..

[kopkaljdsao]

Jordan is a top percentile extrovert. His self reflection naturally includes how a 3rd observer would judge him. Thus while he delves deeper into topics he is less likely to come to new oppinoins and ways of thinking alien to the people in his surroundings.

[cailhagen]

I learned to just laugh.. you can motivate tuns of ppl with a laugh, wether they know what's going on or not.. it can be the dumbest shit ever or the highest skill level ever.. you laugh and others follow.. anything is achievable if you don't feel the pressure of feeling forced.. laughter goes along ways in that sense

[gtrkdkid]

I think there should be pride in individuality, but hes totally right. I know that love is the greatest joy in life and it makes me sad every day to want it and not have it. Its important to remember that you dont need an absurd amount of similarities to find companionship.

[Username-ldho]

Since I started watching Jordan Peterson, I've been more and more interested in philosophy in general. Especially since my friend is even more interested is philosophy and Psychology. He's the one who showed me Jordan Peterson for the first time. And we do talk about different things regarding philosophy. Such as relationships between words, and how they contradict with each other. What makes a person good or bad. How do you know if a person is good or bad. Are there more levels of bad, or is bad, bad? We talked about this for a few hours, and after we discussed about it, we came to an answer that made sense for both of us. I'm not gonna share it, but I'm interested in what other people think about this.

I don't understand everything you say, but I might one day. I love listening to you anyway. Keep doing what you are doing.
