Alone

Jordan Peterson: "Why Being Alone Changes You Forever"

"Our Habits. Behaviours that keep us walking in circles. 

Reaching for the same solutions over and over again. 

Thinking each time they'll take you somewhere new. 

But they don't. 

And still, it's the neural pathway of least resistance. 

A path you made. It's the one that Kept You Safe 

when You were a child. You learned to push people away. 

Before They could Hurt You. And now, as an adult, 

You're still stuck right where you started --  Alone." 

"I mean, I'm not lonely. 

I have... employees, customers..." 

"I didn't say "lonely". I said "alone"." 

"I Hurt people; I don't want to..... 

It's just The Way I'm Wired. 

So, maybe I Deserve to be alone." 

"Do you think anyone deserves to be alone?"

"I don't know, but, you know, maybe 

it's not such a bad thing."

"Being Alone feels deeply ingrained. I understand. 

You've had Dreams and a lot of resistance, 

not a lot of Support in realising those Dreams. 

And when We've experienced Hurt again 

and again, We start to expect it. It's like, 

"Oh, I know this path. I know where it goes." So... 

Are you interested in forging a new path and see where that leads?"
