      I'm not sure if you are all talking about Dr. Peterson, and whether in the pejorative, or not. I'll just say this...I've watched enough of the man's lectures and speeches to know, in my heart, that he's not being disingenuous when he says, or otherwise purports, to want to help people, all people, with the ultimate goal of making the world a better, and safer, place to live in.
      By the year 2040, I've heard or read somewhere, there will be over 9 billion people on earth. It's getting to be pretty damned crowded, so, we'd better learn to live together much more peacefully than we have so far, or we're really going to be in trouble.
      I've seen the man shed tears on stage in front of huge, live audiences, he feels so strongly about wanting everyone to just care about one another, as he says, as if we all matter. Because we do. And I'm pretty sure he's never done Shakespeare in the Park. That's what I know of Dr. Jordan Peterson.

    Funny, I've had to do exactly that. I had to make multiple court appearances over several years trying to get custody of my sons. The downside being that the proceedings were in French and my spoken French was not good.
    I adopted a technique of saying (in French) "If I understand correctly, you are saying......" and then rephrase the things I had heard.
    There was a risk of slowing everything down and even alienating all the wrong people. In fact, it worked very well. They all knew I had been listening hard and more people turned toward me when it was their time to speak.
    I did get custody of my sons and improved my French significantly. (I can't say it's the best environment to learn a foreign language.)

    Later on, we were talking to our therapist, and my wife told me she finally knew I was listening to her, and that I FINALLY heard her and her pain.

Then I acknowledged each point that I disagreed with and provided examples/data for why.
      In the end he knew that I had listened, that I validated and encouraged where we were in agreement, and that I had considered all his points even if I still disagreed with some of them. All the hostility dissipated from the discussion.

      Your boyfriend cannot be your best girlfriend m girls have more words than guys. You don't have to talk everything over with your boyfriend, in fact maybe you shouldn't wear him out by it. Save the talking it out for important things, and call a girlfriend or your mom instead..... Every notice guys hanging out together all day, and the only thing they talk about is what they are doing? They fix a car, and they talk about parts. They move furniture and they talk about the best place to put it. They fish, and they don't talk.,...... Talking is not the only or the best way to communicate.

      @@ludwigvonmiseswasright4380 um.. you're talking to a woman who has mostly hung out with guys since I was a little kid and has always been compared to "one of the guys"
      I'm not a typical "girl" who likes to drive him crazy by talking about every annoying little thing and I don't have (or want) "girlfriends" that I can (or want to) complain to about him behind his back, that is childish actually..
      We are adults in our late 30s and sometimes things need to be addressed and discussed, that's life and that's what adults do.. converse and compromise, especially if one person is unhappy about something specific, the other person should care, show respect and want to understand and help get past that problem, not ignore and continue the cycle.
      When there is an issue, I confront the source and deal with our relationship directly because that's what REAL adults do.
      Only children and immature people who can't deal with anything ignore problems or go behind someone's back and complain about them, especially their significant other.. that's just extremely juvenile.
      Btw, you were only right about one thing.. MY b/f is NOT my best friend.. quite honestly he's a disrespectful prick and I KNOW that I deserve better.
      BUT you are 100% wrong about bf/gf not being able to be best friends..
      THAT is why most relationships don't work out these days..
      a couple *should* be each other's best friends and should be able to share and talk through ANYTHING.
      Thankfully I was fortunate enough to experience that beautiful type of relationship for 8 loving years, which were the best years of my life, with an amazing man who NEVER disrespected me and was my best friend through EVERYTHING.
      Maybe someday I will be lucky enough to have that again.

    As I age, I realise that I get abit more fed up and scratch my head more, especially in my work environments.
    There are some I really just dont want to listen to, those that talk and talk about other people negatively, and those that talk and talk about their 'extremely awful' lives at home whilst they keep returning home after work and then repeating the exact same conversation to the employees the next shift, those that come in only to complain because we dont cater to their every want.
    I literally had a lady come in yesterday to tell me her heart was broken when I only offered 4 gluten free choices, and when I explained that the staff were already extremely busy and our bakers come in already at 4am to begin all the slices she said how much that "broke her heart me saying that, because gluten free is vital these days"..I catch myself rolling my eyes to the back of my head, because some people just seem so caught up in a tyrannical loop of negativity. See, I couldnt even try to explain to that lady the amount of baking that goes on behind the scene, or how busy we are, the short staff, etc because she didnt want to hear any of it.. she just seemed to want the conversation to be about her and how she felt disappointed. So, instead of arguing my point I stayed mute and smiled politely while she went on and on and the customers around her looked on in horror.
    I want to be surrounded by those that can stimulate my brain in a positive manner, those that can talk about interesting facts and theories, those that have an open mind, and we can impact each other positively and inspiring each other, those that are grateful and alive to thrive and grow in each moment.

    I've been told I'm a good listener by girls. For the last two years I've been attending weekly meetings with a like minded group of men and women. Sometimes I focus on people's reactions to the speaker. I laugh a lot while listening to the speech and am often fascinated to find I'm the only one who got the speakers joke. I'm guessing everyone is figuring out what they are going to say if they get chosen for a response.
    The other thing I find fascinating is both women and men (mostly women) spending an enormous amount of time talking and talking and though you listen there is nothing they are saying.
    Teach yourself to listen and have fun, people will notice when you stay on subject and make a response which at least is that, on subject, whether people agree or not is another matter.
