Why Being DISAGREEABLE Makes You A Better Person..

Welcome back to Pursuit Of Meaning. Agreeableness and disagreeableness are two facts that might overlap at some points but still conflict on some points. If we talk about genders, men are less agreeable while women are more friendly and understanding. There is a very less middle in the case; both the genders are at their extreme. This is the fact behind the reason that more men are in jail as prisoners as compared to women.

If there is an agreeable person, he agrees, and it is convenient to talk. This can be bad at times. Jordan offers the example that if you are an employee and want a salary increase, this might become hard for you to get a salary increase. A disagreeable person is more likely to make correct statements and get a boost. But being too unpalatable can put you in trouble, or you may get fired. It is better to maintain a relationship between both. Stick around for this video for further details on Jordan Peterson's explanation why you need to be a 'disagreeable' person.

I'm 66 years old, retired now. I'm highly agreeable (unusual for males). I wish I had been more disagreeable in my life. I'm now leaning into assertiveness as much as I can. Jordan is SO right about trying to stretch out of your comfort zone into the areas that are not comfortable for you (agreeable people learning to be disagreeable and vise versa). It's a work in progress for me. I'm learning to speak my mind better....wish I'd have done this sooner in life. Listen to this man. He's a gem.

Just look at Jordan Petersons own situation. He became disagreeable.
If it wasn't for his conflict with his principles on freedom of linguistic freedom i wouldn't be as smart as I am now because I was lucky enough to have been ntrouduced to him. If it wasn't for his disagreeable ways, he'd probably still be stuck, teaching in a college classroom instead of to the billions of people who fell in love with him!! He is my absolute favorite

Be yourself. I take care of my interests. I know what I want and how to get it. I will engage in conflict if I think it is important to express myself and meet my needs. You do not have to be rude or mean, but it is important to tell your truth.

The trick is to be charming and socially diagreeable at the same time. Being openly hostile is idiotic because that would not serve your purpose at all.

[dozegamin]

Amazing words of wisdom. I knew this, but having somebody verbalize it in a structured order, gives validity. Thank you, Mr. Peterson.

[maylynbayani]

I once told someone: your opinion of me does not affect my opinion of myself. Shut him right up. 😅

[bhillster]

I am agreeable at work because in reality you have no control over management and their decisions. I have had bosses persecute you because of being disagreeable. I work in an industry often managed by ego driven workplace psychopaths.

Being disagreeable got me into being hated, feared and listened to at the same time. People forget that nothing gets done unless someone is ready to fight for it to be done. Imagine Noah having to explain to people around him the logic of building an arc on top of a mountain. How insane is that. I imagine him saying shut up and get me more wood.

Man, I don't know. I'm for sure above average on disagreeableness, but I feel it did me a lot of disservice in my career. It has been more positive in friend/ family relationships in the long run. I find problems in work that even others can see clearly. But nobody will say anything. The last one was that I saw a serious security risk in the building I worked in. Someone high up had made a lot of changes. I described the problem twice to the guy running security, but he just basically threatened to get me fired if I didn't shut up. I immediately quit instead of agreeing. Three weeks later, lots of people were shot up because a desperate person walked right in with zero resistance. It's a hell of a thing to see things, but nobody will listen.

[ElizaFragmented]

Wow, I'm touched. Finally, I'm being noticed for my attributes.

[vallip]

I try being agreeable, but what happens at times is I feel trampled upon. Then I become disagreeable, this means I'm out of my comfort zone, then I am stressed, it's not good for me. But in hindsight I feel its important to fight back when I see destruction and injustice. I usually fight for the common good eg, pointing out destruction of trees, vegetation for development of ugly soulless builds.

Golden, as always!!! So much good life advice here

[WinstonEdgoose]

I think you have to be disagreeable to bring out the best in people at work, things don't get done otherwise.

[GreenJR]

To learn to be more disagreeable, I’ve been debating online strictly against trolls on videos of Palestinians suffering. I already have the trait agreeableness so I am motivated to debate for the cause for empathy and understanding. I know I was just an individual “sjw, ” however useful. I’m done with that lesson now. I have other things to do. Due to my neuroticism, dealing with the anger about this issue helps too. My refugee family is from a heavily bombed country but I no longer get uselessly triggered. This has helped me in real life conversations

[papabird]

You agree with people, they call you a pushover, you disagree with them, they call you arrogant. You cant win

[Loveelexie]

There were times where circumstances bring me to be agreeable to the people around me.. and in my failures I come to study deeper of the people around me.. a test of character to whoever allows me in their life.. and I was willing to fail deeply, to learn or succeed greatly… in every situation, circumstance or people.

And in times where the phase moves, and it s time to apply everything you’ve learned—I now who to trust, who to let go and who or what I want and not want are.. and then greatly, I become highly disagreeable to the foundations of my truth.. but willing to listen to those who speak to my soul and spirit..

I think a mixture of both results and signifies a high level of cognizance and understanding.. which is healthier to set better boundaries for yourself, and succeed greater heights.. it is with you humility and with a teachable heart that God (Jesus Christ) exalts us.

Can't find one speech on Youtube anymore without music.

My husband is very agreeable, and I am the complete opposite. When he was younger, friends and coworkers would take advantage of his kindness. Then he dated me. My parents are entrepreneurs and raised me to be socially disagreeable. My mother, in particular, would correct me for being overly emotional or being a push over. I was trained to be charming when I needed to and to be unapologetically direcr when the occasion called for it. So now, people felt it as odd that my husband dated me due to our opposite personalities but I thought it made perfect sense. I told my husband once that he married me so he can have someone say "no" for him. He laughed and basically agreed with my assumption. 😅 We are better now. He stands up for himself more and as per my sister, my husband made me a more tolerable human being. 😂

"The best personality predictor of being imprisoned is to be low in disagreeableness. It makes you CALLOUS" not "kill us" you goofballs.

[RollyBalondo]

wow. so much ideas compressed in 12 minutes
