1. "If you're self-conscious of your inadequacies – you need to work on removing the inadequacies, not the self-consciousness." – what a BAR. Watch the full episode – https://youtu.be/TJg9wd8agQY

2. I hear these things from my grandparents I read it in books I listen to Peterson talk about it I listen to a few more guys that talk about not believing your thoughts and staying out of your mind but no matter how many times I hear the same things from different people in different ways I can't stop.. I always fall back into believing the thoughts ..

3. Right I’ve effing tried my best to follow so many of the positive videos and knowledge he has and to be honest I don’t understand or ever heard about 40% of the words he uses and English is my first language. He’s like Stephen Fry in his vast grasp of subjects and language. He just said dialectical!!! Who knows what that means. I had to stop it and look it up. So the conclusion is I’m as thick as shit

4. So self conscious and critical… ouch yes

5. Hello! My broken ppl

6. We all have heroes and heroines as teenager, whether they be sportsstar or pop stars. For adults he is probably a hero to many people.

7. Mr Peterson, so good to have you again.

8. How does he stay sane knowing all this 🙌

9. Sorry bro, I don’t think your questions were lending to the essence of anything JP was talking about….

10. I like the short snippets from the interviews. Very useful.

11. JP, my mentor 🙌🙏

12. One of the best intro-questions I've heard! Well played, Sir! 🎩

13. God bless Dr Peterson.

14. Jordan is a true example of ‘knowledge is power’.

15. I FOUND MY PROBLEM DURING THE YEAAARSS. THANKS A MILLION DR PETERSON

16. Wow… I have been looking for an answer to this for a decade. I am extremely self conscious and have that exact tormentor. I think that strategy would be of great help to me. I’ve seen so many different people seeking help with my anxieties. This exercise may be the solution I’ve been looking for.

17. Your conscience will torment you for the things you're not doing in relationship to the implicit ideal of your conscience.

18. I try to embrace my neuroticism, I see it as a window to be able to see clearly the things that matter and the things that don’t.
    It only opens my eyes to the areas I need to work on to be a better person.
    I’d rather be self-conscious than completely fucking deluded.
    Thank you mum and dad for creating me as a self aware human being!

19. I have been dealing with self conciseness most of my life. The only time I wasn’t self conscious was probably when I was kid – when I wasn’t smart enough to care about what other people thought. I have been working on it and one thing I’m going to do is to document this journey (similar to what Jordan Peterson mentioned about his self authoring program). I’m gonna write down and record some of my thoughts and force myself to do things that I truly want to achieve, despite it could be uncomfortable during the process. Hoping I’ll be able to learn something from it!

20. This is amazing especially

21. JBP speeches are like alternative rock lyrics: somehow they are always about how I feel right when I'm listening to them.

22. Our consciousness is a user-space process and it's not running as root.

23. I need that voice, it helps me understand my limitations, I don’t let it get out of control though like I used to, anti depressants, meditation and learning constantly, from philosophy, religion, psychology, economics to history, it has all helped me understand myself better, helped me integrate all the little personalities as Peterson puts it, into one over arching personality, hopefully I can help my son do the same one day.

24. Internet Dad brings up Pinocchio so much I’m seriously considering sending him a little Pinocchio memorabilia for Father’s Day lol

25. "expanded scope of experience"

    what does that even mean

26. A Christian perspective is that Christ convicts your conscience while Satan condemns the person. Guilt is a tool to create change in the moment. Like many tool it can be used as a weapon. If guilt isn’t causing change then it’s being misused.

27. `hes stayin God the boss hes real we just his . never going to change when boss or god says

28. I just went down a Gary Vee shorts rabbit hole, and I needed some meaningful, thought provoking ideas. Thanks Jordan Peterson.

29. Thanks a lot for this video. One Question: In 8:40 Jordan Peterson is mentioning an online program, that he developed with his colleagues. Do know if this program still exists or if it is accessible?

    Thanks a lot in advance!

31. because it makes you happy

32. I’d like to say that I am incredibly aware of everything except the one desire I want. To be socially confident, charismatic, and well spoken. I’ve been wanting to do everything that involves social interactions because I find the idea of getting what you want through verbal communication fascinating. However, I am cursed with being an extrovert with social anxiety meaning my thoughts when being translated to words, are always being questioned and judged every time which I find ends up draining me more than I can get; making me forget how to speak. Occasionally, I do manage to succeed in progressing a conversation, making them laugh, or solving a problem; I am rewarded a temporarily view of what I’m striving for until once again, my overthinking and anxiety comes back in a few hours or next day. How my body likes to tease me. Haven’t even mentioned my other disadvantages against me like ADHD and ADP smh

33. “The point is to be whole, not perfect.”

34. 9:59 I don't know why but that pissed me off I wished people could hold their little bit of humor for the serious things that need to be said

35. Blimey, it’s spooky when Dr. Peterson describes my well ingrained hang-up in a few minutes. At least he maps pathways out of it. Yes, willing to do the work..
    Thank you for the talk.
