How Social Media is Ruining Our Shame and Guilt Emotions
Просмотров 9211 месяцев назад
Jake Wiskerchen explains why social media is ruining our shame and guilt emotions. Historically, shame and guilt existed to appease our tribe when we did something wrong. This was needed when our tribe was a handful of people or maybe even a hundred people. Social media tricks us into believing that we need to appease the needs of a digital tribe of thousands. This is simply unattainable and ne...

My Previous Therapist & How Do Therapists Cope? - Zephyr Wellness FAQ
This was very helpful and exactly what I was missing. I’ve been doing some self healing and diving deep into my belief system. I always wondered why disgust was part of the basic emotions because I had a limited understanding. Thanks for clarifying
Hey, my pleasure! Thank you for the kind words!
The content of this video is clear and understandable for a regular person like me. Would like to have you do a podcast style with another speaker, that way you don’t have to carry the whole thing by yourself. Thanks for making the video, this one and the “disgust and contempt” video helped me understand things better than I did before, I appreciate it.
Hey, thanks for the kind words! If you didn't know, I do have two podcasts as well: Noggin Notes, and Guns and Mental Health. The former usually has guests and the latter is co-hosted, and you're right, it does make things easier and more fun!
1:13 Fucking nonsense. The ‘elites’ who don’t fear the powerless mobs are full of contempt for ‘the unwashed’.
I am one of those young adults with toxic, shame, but it wasn’t forced on me from the outside, I did it to myself. I was diagnosed with autism at the age of 16, so before that, no one knew why I was having strange behaviors. People acted like my feelings were wrong, and sometimes didn’t even believe me when I told her I was feeling a certain way. This gave me a huge complex where I convinced myself that I was a horrible person so the way that I felt about things, not just autistic. Now that I know the cause, it should be over, but I still feel like I’m not a good person. it doesn’t help the people repeatedly tell me over and over again on the Internet that I’m sorry about grammar, I’m blind and using speech to text. horrible.
No worries about the grammar, thanks for commenting! I wish you well in your self-discovery, it sounds like you continue to get better.
Amazing insight. Personally, I hold tight to my beliefs without showing contempts to others. I believe that each person, personal opinions and believes are a small part of the bigger picture, therefore, they cannot contradict, only add up to the truth. sorry about grammar, I’m blind. Don’t you dare try to label me!
I believe that you can be passionate about your beliefs while also being nonattached to them, such that you can change your mind if the information changes. And I'd never label you! ruclips.net/video/dSXPOqROUTI/видео.html
I really love your Emotional-functioning series. It helps me see that negative emotions are not annoying experiences we need to get rid of, but are actually carriers of specific information for our own benefit. We're always busy with "getting rid of" instead of being thankful for our emotions and listening to the information they are trying to share with us. Big thanks & 2 questions: Can sadness also be described as the emotion of "not having" or "Lack"? And Can inauthentic behaviour lead to sadness since you do not honor your actual wants/needs/desires and thus, in some kind of way, lose connection to yourself? Thanks again for the vid, truly helpful :)!
Thanks for the comment! Yes, I think you're right on both counts. Pulling the lens back a bit regarding the "lack" or "not having" can point to unconscious expectations that remain unfulfilled. It's why I am a big believer in self-awareness and trying to identify blind spots, as well as introjections (a Jungian term for unquestioned beliefs/assumptions), as often as possible. This puts us in better control of our behaviors so that we get our needs met more often. Regarding the second part, I absolutely think that if we continue to walk away from our True Selves - as in, the way God made us to walk the earth and do what we're called to do - then the more psychiatric distress we will encounter. This is another Jungian concept, wherein the more disturbed we are, the more our psyche (soul/Self/essence) is prompting us to take a look within and strive for better alignment. At the core, emotions help guide us to that end. Related: because sadness is defined as unmet expectations and shame is defined as failing to meet someone else's expectations, I do think that self-shame is an experience of failing to achieve one's own goals/dreams/desires/expectations. However, we are wise to be honest with ourselves in evaluating whether those are truly our own, or merely introjected beliefs from someone else, such as parents, culture, religion, etc. It's an ongoing journey...
@@jakewiskerchen9536 Appreciate the detailed answer. And yes, it certainly is : )
Amazing coming across such a great video like this which only has 1.5k views. You’re an awesome teacher mate. I’m going to watch your whole series.
Good information 👍
Contempt is not a fight response. Contempt is a status signal, used to scare low-life, free-riders away form the 'rich' group.
Please post more consistently. Thanks for your work!
Thanks for the encouragement! I'm trying, believe me... I appreciate the comment though!
thank you for the POV
Thanks all your support and interest, GWebs. I appreciate you!
Glad I found this video. Im learning how much my Avoidant Attachment Style has really kept me in dark regarding my emotions. Unawareness of negative emotions until contempt arises is more common than I thought. So again, Im glad I found this channel on emotional functioning to help learn awareness about my emotional states.
Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad it helped you!
Serious gems going on
Thanks for commenting!

this was SO interesting! Will need to rewatch a few times to really soak it in. I'm one of those young adults consumed with 'toxic shame' as they say, (diagnosed with AvPD, I'm an adult child, unemployed, feel disgusted by the idea of other people having to know I exist, etc etc) but all the "stop feeling shame" stuff never rung true even though I can identify it as my problem. This is because exactly what you point out - the emotion is not like an appendix to be removed. It's important. I see examples all around of people who should be ashamed of the ways they make others feel, but aren't (at least not consciously) , and they would probably be happier, more positive people if they weren't so high on thier pride. The uncomfortable truth is that some parts of my shame is reasonable and appropriate, and the idea that I have to dismiss that in order to progress seems off; Too all-or-nothing. I don't like feeling pressured to see things as more positive or negative than they are, I to want to be able handle things as they are. People on this subject do always add the disclaimer 'well some shame is good' but it's pithy and dismissive, so it's a releif to hear someone talk about that without brushing it off. It quells that "but what about -" flag up in my head. It makes a lot more sense to examine shame with an eye on what it's for in positive terms, as a drive for reconciliation, rather than just seeing it as this all-encompassing negative pressure to be escaped.
I really appreciate you taking the time to share your reflections. I have another video on this topic that I've been meaning to do for a couple years - something I learned a few months after posting this series - but I just keep dragging my feet. Seeing this comment has inspired me to do it, which I will this week, so keep an eye out for it. Thank you!
Great video. Would love more on type 2
Jake, I am still stumped how you don't have more subscribers?? Your work is of high quality and genuine. I can tell everything you do comes from your heart. Haters are always going to hate, its human nature because we live in a fallen world. Humans have decided they want to decide for themselves what is good and what is evil and not to obey God's definition.
I sure appreciate that feedback, thank you! It's a labor of love for sure. :)
This was fantastic.
Thank you!
So very true, you cannot pour from an empty cup!
I can’t comment on the type 1, but I think it was a very spot on description of type 2 and the ability to manage it. I will be sharing this with my bipolar support group meeting and interested to see what other people think about this and resonate with it.
Thanks Steve, I appreciate the reflection and support!
Just getting around to viewing your series! This one is GREAT!
Thank you! I appreciate you saying that!
This was great. I have been extremely ideologically biased and driven in an effort to subconsciously escape from my feelings of disgust and now have become disgusting myself, I disgust myself lol. Well at least it allows me to feel the disgust instead of projecting it into the world.
Thanks for saying that, I appreciate it. Glad it could help!
Great video, thanks for sharing this with us!
Thanks for watching!
Great vid. Glad to see you're making content again.
Thanks! This vertical format was an experiment for IG reels and it seems to have translated okay to here. I appreciate the compliment!
good video
Thanks for commenting!
I saw someone who had this combination of these facial expression last week. It kind of rattled me - I was surprised to see it.
It's so clearly explained. Thank you so much!
Thanks for commenting!
How do you find your unconcious??
Because there's no real "arrival" point, the discovery of one's own unconscious is ongoing. One way to find blind spots though is to notice how you react emotionally when something is pointed out to you. For instance, if you find yourself getting reflexively defensive at an idea (reflexively, meaning you don't know why but you definitely feel anger or fear), that's probably an area of your unconscious that needs examination. Practicing self-awareness of this kind can help bring more insight and less reactionary responses when beliefs are challenged. Great question!
This was extremely helpful for me. Very eye opening and easy to understand. I appreciate the visuals.
Wow, I know everything has a time and I am so glad this time has come to find your channel. Thank you for the insights they are very helpful.🙏
Thank you! What a lovely thing to hear, I sure appreciate the kind words!
After watching dozens of interviews that Holocaust survivors have given I have come to appreciate the value of gratitude. Anything I have in my life I am truly grateful for. Even for the small, insignificant things like having a clean towel to dry myself with or soap to wash my hands with or clean and sanitary water to wash in and drink or dishes to eat off or even the ability to wash dirty dishes because at least it shows I had dishes to eat off in the first place.
Why don't you have more subscribers?????? Your stuff is gold!!
You're too kind. I truly do appreciate the comments, so thank YOU for posting them!
Thank you. I also learned that in law, peoples rights are always competing with one another. So, for example, your right to freedom of speech can't override my need to be protected from discrimination. So rights are not absolute, they are always relative.
That's true, they are always dynamic and we are wise to be mindful of those dynamics. Thanks for watching!
Most of the time people are talking about what something appears to be or "seems like" or "seems to be"when they say, " I feel like...". It is a lazy habit that people have gotten into such as "uptalking". They may say "I feel like...." because they have lost some of their vocabulary.
Excellent comment, thank you!
promosm ?
I saw you on Keri Smith's channel. I was wondering how I can find a mental health professional as awesome as you, near me.
Thanks for the kind words! My suggestion would be to start with Psychology Today and sift through the therapist locator in order to find someone with a bio that resonates with you. Good luck!
Great message Jake!
Thank you!
Perfect.
Thanks!
Groovy -- reminds me of Ben Franklin. Freedom is delicious. You can do it, have fun OK?
Thank you!
Thank YOU for watching!
interesting commentary.
I've started going down the adoption route, unable to father my own child. Seeing your son has left me grinning. I can not wait to experience life with a ball of innocence and wonder.
That's awesome, thank you for sharing that, and thank you for reminding me that I made this video. Amazingly, he's four and a half now and just played his first soccer game yesterday. Time flies.
Have you seen the book, "A Hunter Gatherers Guide to the 21st Century"? (Weinstein) You have alot of interesting ideas too.
No, but I will check that out, thank you!
Sent here by Joshua Solcum Dissafected "Living in type B society", and I'm washing dishes. (which I have put off for - nevermind that detail) I like the idea of intentionality.
Ha! Well thank you for watching, I sure appreciate it!
Acknowledge reality.
How’s it going?!! Great job on the channel. Did you consider using promosm to promote your videos!?
This is awesome. I just found your channel. Definitely going to stick around. Your ideas are just Awesome! Thanks a lot 👍🏻
Thanks for the feedback, it means a lot to us. Have a wonderful week!
I have been able to make sense of the emotional turmoil of my life the past 15 years thanks to your videos. I am much more empowered these days and with the support of my doctor and psychologist I am in the process of coming off of all my psychiatric meds. You need to have way more subscribers than you do because what you teach is very valuable to society. Thanks again for your work producing these educational videos and helping me out big time! You rock!!
That means so much to us, thank you!!! Have a wonderful week!
Good stuff man!
Thanks Eddie! We sure appreciate the support, please share around!
