    Came here to try and help my older brother he's been unemployed for 3 years and wakes up mid afternoon almost every day.
    I see myself being pulled into that way of being by osmosis I've been trying to start a business but find myself lying in because "oh well he's also there" even though I have the knowledge and plan to market and sell my services.
    That feelings compounded by the fact I'm the younger of two somewhat underachieving brothers who still live at home in our late 20s early and 30s.
    Time to hold myself to a higher standard and be the change I want to see.👀

    My life has been a giant crisis situation for more than 6 years because of my brother. I won't hesitate to say that we've tried everything; tough love, following his requests to a T, kicking him out... we've lost everything in the process. Sometimes when things happen and I don't know what to do next, I watch this video and it helps me stay sane for a little while longer.
    This time I have concluded that as humans, we try to control so much based on what we think is best. My brother isn't happy with his life. We aren't happy with anything either. However, I think we've finally reached a point where he's drown everyone except for myself. I think I just have to be okay with watching him drown, despite all that's happened. I can't do anymore than I've done. Listening doesn't help. Offering help doesn't help. He wants things I can't provide; I can't go on like this anymore.

      Little same.
      I have experiences on him with medical and surgical doctor things, a really bad year, lost his loving girlfriend, had to repeat exam to enter university and even when being happy about a good grade... pum, the cut line goes up because of covid and he cant enter his (for the second time) his career.
      But whenever y try to help him, i get rejected.
      I really appreciate him, not because of being my brother, but because he is such a great man, but now he is on a bad moment and he really needs a rest...
      We can't work on a summer job (got thanks to dads boss on his restaurant) but still he has bad attitude and be very sad.
      I am very sad too, but theres little i can do.
      It really fuckes me up, so i hope he gets better by his decisions

      @@AlexxSt Thanks for your response. I hope a year from now you find your situation has improved. Unfortunately mine has not. My mother had to cut herself out of my brother's life because she ended up giving him 5 years worth of her retirement money and now she can't retire at least until she's 65. She stopped giving him money at the end of last November. I told him that I want to help him find subsidized housing/ get support, but he told me that he wanted to do things his way. I told him that he can do that, but he can't live with us. He said "Guess I don't have a family anymore then" and he stopped talking to me. He's been missing ever since and I'm too scared to try to contact him. It sounds bad, but every night I fear that he'll come back and kill us all as per his many past threats.

    A long time ago I heard it said: Imagine you are standing on a chair holding the hand of someone standing on the floor next to you. If you try to pull the person on the floor up, and he simultaneously tries to pull you down, who do you think will succeed? This is similar to Peterson's lifeguard analogy. It's a good analogy for the kind of friends you choose: bad character corrupts good character.

    Tried helping my mother with her addiction for 20+ years. This was the lecture that finally helped me understand there was nothing I could do if she didn’t want to be found. She lost her battle in February of last year. I’ll always wonder if I could’ve done more, but I truly believe she didn’t want to be found, and that’s the hardest part to accept.

    Our family had to leave my brother behind because he didn't want help. Basically a drugs and alcohol story but after years of trying different ways to help and get help it became clear that the only person who can help him was himself. Last I heard was was living on the streets. It's really sad but there's no other way.

    As a pool lifeguard they teach you to never go into the water to get someone who is actively drowning. They will flail and freak out and pull you down with them. This is a great analogy but so many people don't know about it even in the literal sense to be able to apply it to their relationships with toxic people. Bless you Mr Peterson.

    If others are forced to make themselves suffer so much, and you aren't, then you have an obligation to make as much as you can of yourself, at a minimum out of respect for them. I have to keep sorting myself out so that when there's a problem I really can solve, I'm ready.

  • @swat86421

    And what about giving a helping hand and the other does not recognize it as a helping hand? What I mean is that some people are constantly depending on the helping hand you give, but they see it as for granted. When you withdraw, because it can be really draining for you (effort should at least be recognized) they are offended for doing such act. I find it complicated, because if you set boundaries, they perceive it as putting a wall between you and them, even if it is temporarily. And then you can do different actions: 1. Tell them you don't feel appreciated (where they blame you for being selfish)
    2. "Didn't mean to do it" attitude (which means you give in)
    3. Make a fortress of your wall (actually pushing people away or ignore them, for the sake of your well-being)
    It is quite complicated to take a certain action, because you always lose.
    Now, you can say "Drop those people, they are bad for you ." But what if you actually care for them?
    Hoping for more actions that I might miss and deliver a better solution.

    I was studying rational vs logical the other day and ive been studying mbti and perception vs decisions and i realized that motivation is the difference between rational logic. Human beings are rational creatures. But our perception is blinded by our desires. Our goals determine what information we use and thus our decisions are logical in the context of our motivation. So only once person is sufficiently motivated to succeed will they see the things they need to see in order to capable of making the choices they need to make to improve.

    In today's world there are so many lost people ... depressed people, wayward people etc. anybody who has ever lived with someone who is depressed knows there is nothing that they can do ... if you try to go down with them, they go down further, if you try to raise them they will not budge, if you try to ignore them, they are angry they are being ignored. ... it is like you might as well take your head and smash it against the wall. In our world .... people get frantic ...when something goes bad --- why wasn't there someone there to help them? Why? because they would not be helped. The only way you can help someone is if they come to you and say "tell me what to do" .. they themselves have to WANT to be helped. Jordan says "don't cast pearls before swine" as Catholics we all know ths quote extremely well. When Christ stood before Herod He wouldn't even open His mouth. Why talk to someone who doesn't want to hear you? For almost 2000 years The Catholic Church stood, with the basic idea that - when you need us, we are over here, you know where to find us and we will give you all the help you need. "knock and you shall receive" ... but if you don't knock, It's not going to come begging. That is before VII - VII brought a different philosophy (but that is another story) The mountain does not move - you have to go to the mountain. Mental health really gets under my skin ... with so many suicides ... people are like ... we need more help. There is plenty of help, but help is of no use as long as people wish to remain lost. As Catholics we know there is nothing to do .... but pray - so that is what we do, we pray for the lost.

      @michaelqdlap 6 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      I disagree. You are saying the you have to wait for the other person to become passive and request guidenace. I think the opposite. You have to stop being active - giving advice, giving instruction, taking them out- but instead become passive in their presence and give them permission to be active while you don't judge. Depression in some sense is the opposite of expression. You have to allow that person to express themselves, and only listen. Allow them to unburden themselves on you without judging it as good or bad, simply listen and care. This gives the person a connection with another person and a feeling that their experience is valid and understood.
      I should say, this approach is based on my own experience though in other situations your approach may work also.

      At first, I was wary of Peterson using this reference as he did, but I’m with the others that this is the same concept....the only difference is how much are you willing to try, but honestly this is what Christ was trying to get you to pay attention to: invest your energies into only those you get the sense will listen to truth and not use it to hurt you, trample you, crush your faith, etc.

    I came here trying to help my brother who has been unemployed his whole life. Only worked one job for a year. He is currently 30 years old going on 31. I just turned 24 and wanted to try and save him but idk I feel like I am wasting my time. Read other that are trying to help there brothers but this one doesn't want the help. We offered him an apartment, rent free, a laptop, a car, driving lessons since he is 30 and still does not know how to drive nor has a car. Free furniture, free tv. Yet he still wants to live with my mom who does everything for him. He is living with my older sister who is another lost cause. Dont know what to do. He is getting free rent at the moment because of covid and got unemployment money. He is set for the next year or so but soon will turn 40 with nothing going for him.............I think it might be time to move on.

    • @vfmlor
      @vfmlor 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I was in a similar position as your brother, living with my parents, 7 years ago. They kicked me out in the end. However, near the end we finally had a few real conversations. I was asked what it would take to help me and I said I didn't know. But if they wanted to kick me out, I would agree. Scared though I was. I knew that was only fair. And I figured it was the only way anyhow. Tough love.
      It worked. I have a stable job with a decent income, am a homeowner, have a loving girlfriend and am investing and educating myself.
      I'd advise tough love. Do what helps him grow. Or what what MIGHT help him WANT to grow. Don't give free handouts, it might kill his soul. And take care of yourself first. Best of luck.

  • @colinglen4505

    'manifest the reality of an alternative mode of being!' ...WHAT?

    • @copybox91
      @copybox91 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Translation :
      Manifest the reality = make good ideas and plans YOU have in your head, and make them happen(manifest) in real life ( achieve your goals ).
      Alternative mode of being = Alternative lifestyle, different look at life, new philosophy, new way of thinking....
      Meaning :
      Change and make YOUR OWN life different, better (manifest the reality of alternative mode of being), and by doing that you show them there is a different way (that alternative version of life is possible).
      JP says this must be done only as a last resort (use only when all else has failed) if the person in need is not willing to receive other form of help ( talking it out, financially supporting them etc...)
      Hope my explanation helped :)

    • @copybox91
      @copybox91 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Forgot to add :
      "Change and make YOUR OWN life different, better (manifest the reality of alternative mode of being), and by doing that you show them there is a different way (that alternative version of life is possible)."
      You need to cease relationship you have with this person, and by making example hope they will realize there is alternative way of living,thinking,doing, being...

    I agree with the general notion however as someone who is lost and doesn't dedicate themselves to an offered hand I don't really consider it a well thought out solution to just walk away.
    Sure, walking away provides relief from the dependency a sort of self-preservation in terms of mentality, however if attainment of righteousness is what we should all seek, then patient and persistence in helping others is what we should suffer through to become ultimately better.
    I think the proper solution is raw, truthful, honest and stark dialogue. With oneself and others trying to provide assistance.
    If only becoming a better person was as easy as preaching the rhetoric for such, maybe I wouldn't be such a fuck-up.

    • @artyomsidorvich4489
      @artyomsidorvich4489 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Zedo thank you for your reply. Absolutely agree with your opening statements.
      You have my sincere condolences towards your mothers suffering, I truly hope she finds a path to peace and prosperity.
      I think, with time, we will all be subject to retribution or contrition whether it be through direct or indirect cause. After-all that is what purgatory was conceived for.

    • @artyomsidorvich4489
      @artyomsidorvich4489 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I will openly say that I do experience forms of indirect passive neglect from my family and 'friends' however at least in my self-mental meditations this has not been the cause of my suffering. I do suffer through loneliness and sorrow from those aspects however my sorrows are buried much deeper within me from something I cannot escape or change from.
      I was born with a neurological lower spinal disease that left me partially paralyzed, which is what I consider to be the biggest factor of impediment towards creating my better self. How can I change myself when I was born with a faulty body? Considering this I always think in regards to Petersons rhetoric that it is easier said than done and that all of his axioms are based on having a physically capable body.
      It sounds like I'm taking an able-ist view on his agenda which im not trying to do however I think what I am trying to say is: he tends to not exemplify or reveal the complexities of both the horrors and sorrows which spawn self-degradation and how many of those causes cannot be simply solved by "cleaning your room" or "becoming more productive".
      Ahhhhh cheers for the tangent my apologies.

      You can still sort yourself inside your means. You don't have to save the world or be a success story, just live your life happy. That is your responsibility. The emotions you have, those you can sort, and your thoughts as well. It is true he puts the bar high, but this is for general audience. If you have special needs, you have to accept the constraints and work inside those, not look outside. Not until you are satisfied. At least this is what I follow, and it works, it just takes time, like anything.
      The reason to not help people if they reject you is simply out of respect, but also not to abuse them. You would be surprised about how many people abuse others out of compassion. It is probably more common than out of selfishness. And you also have to respect yourself while doing so, because some will try to drown you with them, or abuse you. That is part of sorting yourself up, to know your boundaries, and is probably the main thing.

    if the sircumstances lead the lifeguard in an awful situation (due to waves etc)to be grabbed in a way that he-she can't escape.
