Jordan Peterson on why you should never underestimate yourself

[Kimllg]

As winston Churchill said: "You have enemies? Good; it means you have stood up for something in your life."

[yourbarista]

I started speaking my mind and found enemies are easy to make

“In order to speak what you might regard as the truth, you have to let go of the outcome.” -Jordan Peterson

I'm afraid of being true to myself. I fear rejection, I fear being left alone. But honestly, I'm already alone at this point. Avoiding all conflict has lead me to not having any meaningful relationships at all. I want to throw away my anxiety and just put myself out there. I think about what he said often, I need to learn to live by it.

As Hitchens said: "The grave will supply plenty of time for silence."

Definitely not saying to stop being nice. His message is just be honest and more genuine

[lakshaysharma]

Did just this today, unknowingly. Articulated my dissatisfaction and resentment in an unequal relationship. Risked "pretended peace." She said, "Now I'm pissed off. Don't call me."
Realised I was putting up with shitty behaviour because I was afraid of being alone. Then Jordan's words rang in my head, "If you don't have a relationship which is therapeutic, then it's not a relationship. It's a pathological anomaly in the field of your being." Really, the articulation of my dissatisfaction wasn't met with a response like, "Okay, let's see what we can do about it because you being happy matters to me." But my happiness didn't matter to her! All that mattered was how the relationship should remain within the ambit of her convenience. What the fuck was I in for three years?!
Exactly right: "You get to choose your poison." Staying or leaving, both are painful. So my poison was pain with dignity.

I'm tired of being nice. I needed this

I speak my mind. I have no friends... but i get respect!

[narasil]

I scored extremely high on agreeableness on a personality test. Recently stood up to someone at work (a new employee) in a very small way (after reading Dr. Peterson's book). It set them on their heels in a very big way. I was shocked actually, I guess they'd been so intimidating all their lives they hadn't a clue how to react.

Basically I was poilite but firm. Stood still and looked them directly in the eye with sincerity.... amazing result. Going to do that more often :)

Be precise in your speech, tell the truth!

[MirzaBorogovac]

At a job interview:

"What's your biggest flaw?"

"I'm too honest "

"I don't see how that is a flaw."

"That's because you're an idiot. "

[prokas]

Jesus this guy is a genius. So powerful. It's clear hes gone through this himself and is speaking from his own experience.
The passion shines through.

[TommyBeaux]

It is important not to assume one holds the truth. So, “speaking one’s truth” implies a necessary self-examination and humility, and willingness to listen, learn, and acknowledge being wrong.

[StarlasAiko]

I rather have a hundred genuine enemies than a single false friend.

[Yabberfrat]

I will pay the price for being who I am, over paying the price of being who I'm not, ANYDAY! There's no better way to truly live!
