The people I lead deserve a safe environment so my personal space extends to them - I protect them by not tolerating boundaries being crossed

    I credit The 33 Strategies Of War with helping me deal with 'bullies' in my own life. I learned how to use language in the third person but also to use language suitable for a 'non-alpha' towards another 'non alpha' or even an 'omega male' in potential conflict. A 'non-alpha' coworker was chastising me once in front of others for not 'asserting' myself in a physical work activity. Usually the 'bullies' and the timid ones often end up swirling around together at the 'bottom' of the hierarchy. I was the 'timid' one. And the 'bully' has to show the others that he's not the 'last in line.' In this situation I basically made sure I was out of view of physical retaliation (especially non-eye contact) and I shouted to him in a monotone, almost submissive manner, 'you give me orders and I'll do what you tell me to do!' Because he knew instinctively he was 'low' on the work totem pole hierarchy, he immediately felt 'shame' in front of the others and kind of dwindled away, swearing to himself. And because my comments were purely 'tribal' in verbiage, there was a lot less fear of retaliation.

    I grew up being told that teasing was unkind. Later in life I learned that I can tease back, nothing feels like hurty words, and I can make people laugh which is the best part. Getting into an awkward situation and making light of it with a mild joke eases the tension and often I make a good friend with the person I’m having a difficult conversation with.

    Great clip. Love the point about conflict not being fun or enjoyable, but that you have to stand up for yourself and not be run over by mini tyrant in your significant other. I saw this happen alot with my parents and saw the importance of the good that happened because of opposing forces both got to see the good and the evil didn't win. I'm fighting with addiction and being in treatment with people that are total opposites and mentalities that would never be able to live next to the other, and yet we are all growing and finding good in our own individual lives. This life is short and painful, finding peace and being a light in the world. Trying to better everyday

    I like the concept of ratios and proportions. It sounds like authentic communication,boundaries & needs being test and met. The problem of conflict avoidance stems from childhood. We saw in our brains our primary caregivers being abused or abusive and we were hardwired to not want to repeat that. Shadow work is basically trauma processing work. You dont just suddenly decide to be assertive you become that person through transformation whether small or big.

    @angelus_solus 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    I'm not saying to throw assertiveness out the window when you're being bullied, but use discernment; especially when dealing with your spouse. The problem with conflict is when you enter into it, you are fighting to be right instead of being open to the fact that you may be in the wrong. When two people are preoccupied with their need to be right, the only thing that results is a war of attrition with words as ammunition. You're verbally recreating the western front, which is a good way to destroy a marriage or other intimate relationship. Reserve conflict to keep you from being walked over, but think in terms of using negotiation as the first resort.

      @@moonknight4053 If they're determined to be right and refuse to listen to anything that proves they're wrong, there's not much you can really do. You can present all the logical reasoning you want and they just won't have any of it, because they're so convinced they're in the right and have done nothing wrong. Eventually it just devolves into a shouting match with you wanting to rip their head off because you're so f**king frustrated with them and their stubborn, narcissistic ego.
      I encountered that situation many times in my last marriage and with my mum when I try pointing out when I'm being disrespected. I've discovered there are just some battles you can't win.

    Only interesting because a lot of their demographics seems to believe in negging women as a point to start a relationship. I can categorically say if you are doing this and none of your dating experience is working out this is why.
    Treat people with respect. What they’re saying is regarding once you’re in a relationship. I’ve never known any woman (or man) tend to keep up dating someone whom they don’t know well because they’re being ‘teasing’ ‘testing’ or ultimately undermining them.
    Despite what a lot of their demographic believes, people do have healthy disagreements every day. But not a single person wants to build a relationship on someone who is just seeking to override and undermine their partner.
    I think books like the Game started this ideology but sadly I’ve seen a lot of it perpetuated by some warped perceptions men can have to whatever Peterson says.
