_"Being weak is nothing to be ashamed of,"_

BC quote 👍🏻
Being weak is something to be ashamed of.
Being *vulnerable* isn't.
@@Hondeer
We're not born strong. We _become_ strong.
Just like all the good qualities of man, strength is developed through growth and perseverance.
If you're a child and you're weak, there's nothing wrong with it. But if you go through puberty and into adulthood without getting rid of said weakness, then yes, you should feel ashamed.
Glad someone else knows the difference between Weakness and Vulnerability.
@@prosackmetheus5409 My dude! B)
Having been diagnosed with schizophrenia at age 26, could not sleep for 3 years, fired from almost all my jobs...I can relate to this. Still, I'm going to the gym, I still go running 4-5 times a week, still got 2 degrees, one in computer science, one in finance and economics, still getting jobs, still trying to be the best version of myself. I just don't quit.
fuck yea man
RRRR God bless you man. You sound similar to me. You’re awesome.
Keep that shit up bruh!
Howd you get 2 degrees bruh? How long did it take?
Massive respect, brother. You are a huge symbol of perseverance.
"We're stronger than things are terrible" exactly what I needed at exactly the right time. Thank you
I think this is the core truth of Catholicism, and all of Western history, for that matter; in fact, it's the core truth of Darwinism to some degree. The fact you are alive, proves that you are stronger than all that tried to kill you. You can see this core message in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, for example. Both extremely Catholic works, with the general theme being: fight on, even when you think you're going to lose, because you never truly know the future (technically, it's a sin to despair, and to admit defeat is despair, as it implies that you know the future and how things will turn out, but you never do), and you never truly know just how strong you are or could be.
@@TheClassicWorld That's kind of a common sense in most cultures
There's a simple quote from Game of Thrones that sums this up.
Jon: I tried, and I failed...
Davos: Good. Now go out there and fail again
life is one big endless fail .... nothing can be done
@@jameshumphrey9939 So go out there and keep failing
Because you *will* fail, but not because you want to. And doing nothing is like failing on purpose.
So keep trying, again, and again.
It doesn't matter how much you fail : Just trying is a success in itself
Jon Snow in GOT 8: But, she mah kween
SO profound
^oh look, an asshole
The only way I found of dealing with anxiety in a healthy manner, is too run straight into what makes me most anxious, and to be ready to fail and fail again.
That's called courage. Something you are probably very familiar with.
Dan P absolutely man. Works the same for me

When you’re falling...dive! 👍
I literally go out and run when I feel stressed. Running for me is a good way to face the anxieties head on because strenuous physical activities like that can easily force my mind to be clear. I'm sure others have their own way, though. Making your mind clear is the very first step in solving your problems.
The embarassment though...
"It's better to pursue meaning over happiness."
Yes happiness is a state of mind
.. Happiness can last for a few hours and you might still not have a meaning to live for. I can't say I am happy with my life, it's very neutral, but at least I'm not waking up everyday thinking «There is no meaning in my life». So yeah, meaning>happiness.
@@lenadesu2544 Happiness comes from within my friend. Not the external realm.
@@liamc1102 Then the happiness I mentioned that lasts for a few hours is simply distractions. Oh well, I need to work hard on this :/
@@lenadesu2544 Or it's pleasure ;)
Anyhow you just gotta be patient while working on your happiness. Perhaps try meditation for 10 mins a day or less.
Frodo : I can't do this, Sam.
Sam : I know.
It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy. How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened. But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. Because they were holding on to something.
Frodo : What are we holding on to, Sam?
Sam : That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.
Smith: Why, Mr. Anderson, why? Why do you persist?
Neo: Because I choose to.
Is this from the book or the movie? I can't seem to find it in the book.

Great quote
Protect this man at all costs.
This needs to be a core class in high school. Life is hard, there is no easy way out.
thats not the lesson at all my fellow human, but i do agree our school system is prehistorical.
THANK YOU. Our education today should be thrown into the dog shit bin and replaced with education that will prepare us for the future, not fill our heads with bullshit, we have that around us enough as it is. We need to be thought to fight against it and how to deal with it.
"Do not be sorry. Be better."
- Kratos, God of War
You can be both. That's just word play.
@@Zohirul-Jewel no, it’s saying it doesn’t matter whether you’re sorry or not, it matters that you learn from it and “be better” think about it before just discarding such a quote.
@@yeboi6436 If you're really sorry about your mistake, you'll try harder next time. It's a bad quote.
@@Zohirul-Jeweland also do not be sorry is about avoiding victim mentality, acknowledging your mistakes without wallowing in them and being better, is the quote still bad? Or is it easy to look at something you don’t understand and go well that doesn’t make sense?
@@yeboi6436 There are many people who where abused as child and they have no idea how to better themselves because no one taught them anything as children so they never acquired the knowledge and skills required to become successful adults. They don't have enough knowledge to be totally independent growing up or anyone teaching them anything so they become failed adults. Sure you can acknowledge you mistakes and failures, but that doesn't mean that the way we are raised has no consequences for us. Avoiding victim mentality and don't be a victim or weak is something people say to persuade people to be more proactive about the situation/circumstances they're in and to have them focus less on the fact that they have been abused and mistreated. "Do not be sorry. Be better" is a bad quote and just a word play. Don't play word games.
I was always taught you have to do things right the first time and that there are no second chances. Failure was never seen as something to learn from, but as shameful and proof of inferiority to those who succeed. That there was no reason to bother doing anything when there are others around you who are more talented or more experienced, as they will always be favored.
I grew up surrounded by people both at school and at home who drilled this mindset into me day in and day out. It led me to develop crippling depression, a sense of worthlessness, and thoughts of suicide on a monthly basis. Only very recently have I started hearing this kind of mindset. I am clawing tooth and nail to get myself out of this mental hole that I have been put in. It’s so easy to slip back down to the bottom, and it hurts so much to land back into that dark dark place. Each time I get back to climbing however, I go slightly higher than last time. I’m still not out yet, and I have a long way to go. However, I will persevere.
There is nothing wrong by being emotionally,pshycially or even spiritually weak.I agree with Jordan on some things but this is garbage.

@@CoryMck it's not "victim blaming" it's a hard truth for most people, complaining is only the first step towards change, after identifying the problem it's time to take action and move towards the progress you want to see!!!
@Shawn Camburn who deleted their comment?
@Shawn Camburn If someone is -censoring- blocking me, that's not my fault bitch.
@Shawn Camburn
"the problem is the perspective of 'this happened to me'... helpless and fruitless"
Many people face many problems that they factually did not cause. You want them to pretend like reality doesn't exist?
"no matter how shitty your parents are, someone else has or much worse"
That's the worst Tu quoque I've heard since:
"And you are lynching Negroes" (Russian: "А у вас негров линчуют", A u vas negrov linchuyut) and the later "And you are hanging blacks" are catchphrases satirizing Soviet propaganda's response to American criticisms of its human rights violations. Use of the phrases like these, exemplifying the tu quoque tactic, was an attempt to deflect criticism of the Soviet Union by referring to racial discrimination and lynching in the United States".
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/And_you_are_lynching_Negroes
So person A doesn't have problems because person B has more problems? Again, did you realize this was stupid before you pressed send or after?
"if you wanna sit around and blaim the WORLD for YOUR PROBLEMS"
[Appeal to motive and framing emotive language]... Just because you value stoicism doesn't make it "good".
"wallowing in self pity"
You're literally calling the act of talking about your problems "wallowing". Are you serious? Stop victim blaming people for literally having problems. peter jordanson makes no sense in this video and you make even less sense trying to defend what he said. You don't have the right to determine whose issues are valid and who doesn't deserve the right to acknowledge them. You're not the fucking gatekeeper of emotions. And understanding problems is an essential step to dealing with them.
This man just told people "it's your fault, now get over it and do better" like as if that is helpful advice.
@Shawn Camburn
"don't be such a pussy, dude."
no, u
"tell me what good it does to sit around and talk about shit"
Communication.
Dialogical processing.
Receiving input from people with different experiences and viewpoints.
Introducing subconscious thoughts to the conscious.
Did you know that people actually pay money to SPEAK with psychologists because they helps them solve their problems? You know what doesn't help? Telling people to "get tougher".
"but it needs to quickly move past that and into a place..."
No, problems don't work like that. There is no "thing" to be done that can undo or end most people's problems. And when they are working on their problems, they are going to continue to talk about them.
"you can't control the outside world, so why focus on it"
Delusional: characterized by or holding idiosyncratic beliefs or impressions that are contradicted by reality or rational argument.
"talk, read, whine..."
Don't forget gatekeep.
"I don't think that is up for debate"
No it's not, because you're already starting with the assumption that acknowledging your problems are "weak".
Now that you mention it, next time my friend tells me about their anxiety, I'll just tell them to get over it and stop having anxiety. When my lesbian friend is upset about how her religious parents treat her, I'll just mean over and say "stop talking about it and solve it by divorcing your family and moving to a different state. Problem solved"
I wonder how many speeches jordanson has given to poor inner city youths about how they should just "get over their problems by being tough".
Unreal.
Many problems in life do not have solutions. And most of the other ones are not easily solvable.
"the only thing that any of us can truly do in this world is work on improving ourselves and our situation"
Ya, if you only care about yourself and think that you can decide what a person's value is, then sure.
We don't live in a bubble, and we don't all exist to do whatever it is you're talking about.
You: *listens to peter jordanson's nonsense and is convinced on how the world is and how life should be.
Also you: "you have zero control over what other people are going to do"
... Okay... do you see how this contradicts?

Especially the famous word that no one shall say except da choosen ones... lol...
I am not living in that country but for me it feels like you try to seperate yourself by that from other humans.
You try somehow to stop racism but are actively drawing black and white lines(pun not intended, lol) and raising racial awareness social friction by that in the first place.
I think we should just aknowledge the differences like some are good in running, others good in swimming, like hair or skin colors and start thinking about it in bald facts and stop pouring emotions into it.
Just be color blind.

I don't believe the pursuit of happiness and a meaningful life are exclusively separate in the way Jordan and the illustrator describe it. I believe they're one in the same. You find happiness in the pursuit and discovery of something meaningful and you find meaning in the pursuit and discovery of happiness.
@@blurse1652 if he wanted to say pleasures he would have just said pleasures.
@@androssteague happiness is that feel good feeling you get when you accomplish your goals. Purpose is that connected and feeling of being one with the universe that you get when you take responsibility and give to others, and do something meaningful (something that enhances our civilization and the lives of others). This is what Dr. P is getting at .... life isn't about feeling happy and accomplished necessarily, it's about leaving this place better than you found it and that ultimately will give you a reason for being here
@@tal8871 @androssteague i somehow agree with both of your opinions and feel that in doing one we will find ourselves doing the second at the same time....like both are two sides of the same coin.

@@jameshumphrey9939 ayo, life be like that.
@@jameshumphrey9939 Dayum man 🙏
This is correct, it ISN'T okay to be weak but it IS "okay" to ADMIT your weaknesses; to let those around you know when you can't do something alone.
To live a life believing you have no weaknesses is just as bad as feeling "okay" about being weak
I feel like you can be scared, weak, timid and frail, but it doesn't mean you can't fight back.
I was watching this anime called Attack On Titan. In a recent episode, there’s a flashback between two characters showing them when they were school children. One of the kids keeps getting bullied, so the other one tells him “they’re just going keep attacking you unless you fight back. Aren’t you tired of losing?”
In response, the first kid says “I’m not losing... because I don’t run.”
I loved that line. Even if you can’t fight back, even if you’re outnumbered, outclassed, and have no hope of winning (which is absolutely true when we’re pitted against Mother Nature), you can still show up and weather the storm. They can break your body and even your heart, but if they can’t break your spirit, you will never lose.
Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning is one of the greatest testaments to the strength of the human spirit, and a great example of the scene above.
“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms-to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” - Viktor Frankl

No he is saying you shouldnt feel that and you deffenitly shouldnt express those feelings. He wants you to be an unfeeling asshole who only cares about what Jordan calls success. Well I say fuck Jordan and fuck his idea of success, we should define what success means for us and not let others define it.
MrGoblin1000 That just shows that you aren’t actually listening to what he is saying. How you could get that analysis from this or anything he has said just doesn’t add up.
Bravery is feeling all those things and not running away.
Your writing and art skills are incredible, and the topics you cover are so important for the era we are in.
I appreciate your existence, you are doing a simple, yet, wonderful thing for the world :)
wow thank you :)

Victim mentality will lead you nowhere. Dealing with anxiety and depression is not surrendering but overcoming them.. We should not normalize weaknesses, failure and depression.
Exactly
Victimhood is a cul de sac.
See i dont get this can you explain this to me; everyone loses something and everyone fails in something. How should we not normalize it?
Not sure what you mean by "normalizing" depression. You can't really expect people with depression to just "get over it" and work hard to overcome their symptoms, because one of the symptoms is thinking you don't deserve that happiness in the first place. Depression isn't just a disorder, it's one that locks you into itself. People with depression need actual help (someone to motivate them to see a therapist, take anti-depressants, etc), not someone to tell them they're doing it wrong.
@YesIknow Ok That's deep. I don't think people are that evil, but it's true they don't care your suffering. And depending on whom they're evil themselves.
This speech was so profound and so filled with what I needed to hear, that I am literally in tears.
Thanks so much for helping to put things in perspective, Dr. Peterson. I hope you're doing well.

@@anonmuyous I'll be real... if half of the people I saw on twitter actually went out and protested the economic abuses instead of crying about why a cartoon is bad because of petty reasons we would honestly be seeing changes.
In my own life and in the lives of other people who have received a much, much tougher hand, I have found the only solution that helps is to face the darkness and the misery. To take ownership and say "this situation is partly my fault and I will make it better, OR even though this situation is NOT my fault, I will make it better." Suffering, sadness, and misfortune WILL come for you. The question is how do you respond?
I love this SO much. I’m coming to understand that no matter my situation, I somehow contributed to it. What’s most important isn’t why I’m in this situation, but how do I get out of it in a way that honors my own courage, that honors the well-being of others, and does as little wrong as possible.
Such a hard journey, but given the alternatives, I can’t think of a better way to do life.
cultural expectations weigh heavy .... break free
I like this way of seeing it better. I think its important not to feed into being the victim but it's also important to not blame yourself for things that were out of you control. It isn't always your fault but don't let it take away any more of your power.
Thank you Dr. Peterson. Im going through something and i realized it is never ok to be weak. Keep ur dignity and move on is more important than beg
Need more Jordan Petersons now than ever.
Never adopt a victim mentality! That's the worse place to think from, act from and live from.
maybe
I always think of myself as a survivor not a victim because being a victim means that i am weak and helpless
Being a survivor means you get tf up and walk through the storm. Its not easy but damn it i will not give up or give in. Victims would rather sit and cry about their problems. I choose to suck it up and keep moving forward.
victim mentality is just the absence of self responsibility,

I've been pursuing happiness, not responsibility, and my life is miserable because of it. I give up on things when they get difficult, because obviously, I'm not happy when things are difficult. But when you give up, things get more difficult. But now I understand. What I am supposed to do.

Saying these are "such sad times we're living" sounds a little like the victim mentality that Jordan is trying to warn against. It seems to me that Jordan is one of many speakers leading the charge to wake people up to the true nature of things and the way we think. We could mope around and say it's "sad times" and we're "sorry", OR we can focus on the amazing good he is doing and be grateful that people ARE coming round to his way of thinking, because they are.
@@eyesears2046 bro he means it‘s getting worse
I am the exact opposite of this. I believe I am unbelievably tough. But, after college, I was baffled by how harsh and cruel and depressing and pointless life for the homo sapien on this spinning rock called planet earth is.
I realized I used to prioritize prestige and being known as successful. I no longer want to just chase prestige. I want to chase victories for civilization, regardless of what those victories bring me in return.
Coming to grips with reality, what is most important on planet earth, and the fact that what I thought was most important was incorrect, was difficult.
I’m 25. I want to work as intelligently and diligently as I can for the remainder of my life for what’s most important. And not be bogged down by the very real negative parts of reality.
Then don't focus on the negatives. There are just as many, if not more, positives to life. Like getting the opportunity to experience life.
Same here
Went through same experience n I'm 25 also. I know exactly how u feel.
41kils that’s very inspiring and a very noble goal you set for yourself, however, I would say to embrace all parts of life: the negative and the positive. Be able to have good days and bad days, it’s a blessing to be aware of your feelings
You have lots, lots, lots more to learn if those are your conclusions.
I found great moral value in the message of this short video. Thank you Dr. Peterson for your words of wisdom and to AFTER SKOOL for the awesome drawings depicting valuable life advice. I will be sharing this video for certain. ❤
What a mindset shift
kinda like hyperloop !~
Than you Jordan Peterson. As a young teenager 13-15 I was admirable. People looked up to me, I did walk alone and inspired others. I fell into bad habits and making excuses for my shortcomings instead of trying to overcome those obstacles in front of me. I am 24 now, paralyzed from the chest down at the age of 22, it has taking me about a year and a half to regain my mentality and remember who I am. I am not saying that I want to be who I was as a young teenager. I am saying that who I am now is a product of who I could’ve been, not who I recently have been. At anyone point a man can change gentleman.
The greatest motivational video on the internet. It is actual motivation, not just someone screaming at your face with batman music playing in the background. The words are actually meaningful and give you the answer to the most important question. WHY?
Thank you so much After Skool and Dr. Jordan B. Peterson. You're awesome.
In the anime Black Clover, one of the grittiest characters there, Fuegoleon, said "Being weak is okay, staying weak isn't."
Staying weak is what makes you a sore loser. Life is already a suffering, no matter how optimistic your view is. Don't make it worse by making yourself vulnerable physically and mentally. And if you're so optimistic about life, you know for sure that you're missing out on so many things.
Holy shit I was trying to think of that the whole video. Love that show and that bit of wisdom. Thanks for the reminder!
it is impossible to be a loser
The essence of One Piece is also a great example for this themes of weakness, strenght, happiness and purpose.
I mean isn't optimism the result of having strength in your life?
Last thing I want to do is feel like crap everyday
This resonates with me on a deep level.
It took a long time for me to come to terms with how rough life is, and how worthwhile it is to try and overcome that to give meaning to it
Started in crime at the age of 16 and now I’m two years away from completing law school. Thank you Jordan. (I live in Denmark and school is free, so that helped a lot)
God, that's so true. I've been acting like a victim for a so long. I must stop blaming circumstances because as Jordan Peterson said, "we are stronger than things that are terrible." Life is suffering. Facts.
Thank you brother for this video
I tried for the entrance exams...

I've been thinking about how to make life meaningful. Then i found this video. To sustain meaning is to adopt responsibilty. Now i know where to start. Thank you for making this video :)
I love Dr. Jordan Peterson, and his wisdom, even more.
And your illustrations are amazing. I wish I have your talent. 😢 Keep up the amazing work! 👏
This guy never stops suprising me.
His words are very inspiring... makes me tear up thinking of the possibilities and the truth he speaks
I must watch this video daily !!
Amazing amazing amazing-another great video! Thank you for sharing 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I needed this today. Thank you for this.
Thanks for explaining this so well. Love this 🙌
*Love this and such great animations! Believe in the person you are capable of becoming! You have more to offer to the world than you know!*
I am working on mitigating climate change!
I'm going to keep this bookmarked for when the times get dark.
who to know when it is dark ... most do not
Now feels like a good time to bring that up
So Everyday
Thank you Mr Peterson
Why isn’t this man on television or more visible in popular culture? He is one of the greatest minds of this generation.
“Life is suffering” -Kermit

Go clean your lobster
Ask Kermit about the time he thought Amy Schumer was Miss Piggy. He was traumatized.
“It’s not okay to be a loser.” Yes, I agree. But what makes someone a loser? I don’t think chasing wealth, material possessions, or titles like MD and PHD in order to feel better about yourself and better than other people makes you a winner. Doing your own thing on your own terms makes you a winner. Even if it means being broke or financially uncomfortable for a period of time. Blindly following society’s generic script and idea of what success is doesn’t make you a success just because you’re good at it.
loser is self defined in this case.
Jordan got this all wrong by definition and a flawed belief that language is real ...as it only represents
This video made me realize happiness isn’t all I need. Thank you so much for this 🙏
There's being tough and then there's running headfirst into a woodchipper. Deciding not to do the latter isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of staying alive. That's the point we are at now in 2021 I believe.
failure isn't the opposite of success, quitting is.
wow. can I use this line in an IG post?
@@AfterSkool fuck yeah you can!
@@ermiles6472 Thank you! :)
@@AfterSkool You're welcome, thank you for helping get the word out!
In my experience, most things that appear to be "too hard" or "impossible", so you're even afraid to think about it let alone do something, are way more possible if you put all your strength in it. My best example, finding a (good) job: I didn't have much hope, felt desperate, I was afraid to even go to a interview because i feared I will fail. But soon I've managed to get some confidence and strength. I went to my first interview: FAIL, second: FAIL, every time I failed I didn't really feel so bad, this was a shocking discovery :) Yeah, I failed, I know why I failed, improve that part and try again. Few more fails followed, and then BAM, you're HIRED! :D Best day ever. I still work at the same company around 6.5 years now. Amazing what you can do if you accept failure and keep improving. I kept that attitude and life is great, I feel like there is nothing that can stop me. And I was a loser once, think about it.
Man, this is great. When I first discovered Jordan Peterson, I could not comprehend what in the world he was saying and that was more of a reflection of my incompetence than his explanations. I have now taken it upon myself to spend a considerable amount of time studying Jordan Peterson and have come to understand much of his work. (I still have lots to go) However, integrating art with his words is a honestly a masterpiece and allows the viewer to become way more engaged than just a lecture or podcast format. Awesome stuff.
Jordan Peterson you are so spot on.
"It's not okay for you to be a weak loser" - Jordan Peterson
I hope people don't confuse fear with weakness. Its ok to be scared - or it wouldn't be hard. Bravery to face adversity and yourself despite the fear. Most importantly be compassionate to yourself through facing these fears - be your best ally.
Thanks for posting.
I watch this video over and over. Thank you.
How can anybody dislike this, I don’t get it. This man is a wonderful caring human being for all living beings.
Because he challenges people in a way that they can't deny. The anger channels to the messenger because they can't bear the message, and they can't deny the message.
He just trying to say, " be responsible for your own happiness"
I prefer Siri myself some people like Alexi
It's amazing how much of a mental breakthrough this was for me.
Thank you Dr. Peterson!
Fairness is a human concept.
It doesn’t exist.
Accepting that is pretty freeing.
If it's a human concept, then it exists wherever humans hold it true.
Nope. Don’t be such a human exceptionalist…

I don’t agree that because something is “a human concept” it doesn’t exist.
Does gravity exist? Does evolution exist?
Both of the above examples are NOT “absolute Truths”. This means that they are “human concepts” or “models”. They don’t perfectly represent reality.
They’re still facts, but they are not “absolute Truths”.
If it sounds confusing, you aren’t alone.
Scientists today don’t ever say “our facts are scientific Truths.” They say “our facts best represent the data we’re presented”.
Evolution is a fact that is more proven than General Relativity.
Every scientific fact has a percentage for its success rate.
Evolution’s is so high, along with gravity, that it’s extremely hard to dispute it’s validity and experimental efficacy.
That artist though!
Thank you Dr. Peterson
You guys made these strong words even stronger with this video. Thanks!
It's okay to feel weak sometimes. Human feelings, accept what is. Then let go.
It's funny, when I told people I was making a Jordan Peterson animation, I received mixed reactions. Some folks were overjoyed and others thought it was a big mistake. The media intentionally misrepresents Jordan Peterson, but when I actually watched some of his unedited lectures, I found a lot of meaning in his ideas. I'm curious to know what do you think of Jordan?
He is the antidote which we desperately need in today's snowflake world...
This was far from a mistake! Truly insipring, thank you so much for this!
He is very overrated and gets a lot more attention than he deserves.There are far greater and more brilliant philosophers out there today.For example Sam Harris or David Benatar.
@@thedoorsbest I'll have to check out David Benatar. Thanks!
He's a buffoon.
I fell in love with the guy who draws.
I love EVERYTHING about your Chanel, thank you
This hits me hard, because I always see myself as a total loser, now I'm paralyzed and more ashamed.. yet somehow the speech spark something inside
Were not gonna change
@@mrlahey5995 we? We might mate, we might
You know you have potential for potential:)
playing with words he is ... loser is only a word .... no one is a loser .... that is an impossibility
"You are way tougher than you think"
Hahaha 🤣😂🤣 Gassing y'all head way up with all these lies
Awesome stuff doing a video on Dr Peterson. He has helped so many people. Truly a great man for our modern times.
Truth and meaningfulness are the ultimate
