      Same here. About a week ago, I made it a point to NOT say anything centered around myself, and not use the words "I", "me", or "my" in casual conversation unless I was directly asked about myself. I was, or AM, amazed at how full of myself I was/am...

    When I was a young man, I worked with a fellow named Hardy Doshier. He once told me that he figured everyone he encountered had something to teach him. They would either show him something worthwhile, that he wanted to make part of his life - or they would show him something that he definitely wanted to avoid, and keep out of his life.

    The problem with many people that you're trying to engage in civil dialogue with is that they don't care about genuinely learning about what you have to offer, they're more concerned with dominating the conversation with their perspective and making sure that they walk away as the victor.

      some people over explain , recently learned that it stems from childhood trauma when a child feels the need to over explain so they don't get in trouble.

      people also need to take a step back and discuss context
      we all have primary beliefs and the world makes sense to us (or frustrates us) because of these beliefs
      beliefs such as about what motivates people, about self responsibility, about worth and so on
      differences in these beliefs change our view of the world but they are the foundation of our conversations
      dominance is often an implicit act of asserting these beliefs
      in other words, the disagreements are below the surface
      better communication skills can mean identifying differences in core beliefs and discussing them - as a way of better understanding how both we and others are viewing situations

    I have often wondered about truth...How much of a role does truth actually play in our entire lives..? The more I think about it, the more I see REAL truth falling apart. I consider lessons I learned via observation, experience, and simply being a participant in the order of a family. I have come to the conclusion that the majority of, what I perceived to be truth as a pre-school child, was greatly flawed. Childhood was incredibly difficult for me, I realise now that almost all of the input that I was naturally absorbing, and processing, was quite toxic. I had to develop coping strategies and infantile psychological "tools" to survive...and I DO mean survive. My first attempt to end my own life out of abject misery occurred at age 10. I am nearly 62 now. I wasn't functioning on truth...I functioned on my own PERCEIVED truth. It's just hit me very recently, that I have, more then likely, eviscerated the human being that I was supposed to be. The quest for truth in most things, I believe, is alot more dangerous and confusing than I ever thought. Here's what I'm considering right now...As an adult, I was made aware that my mother had issues,and many breakdowns when we were children. I could retrospectively understand that. As a child, I suffered her spontaneous and indiscriminate physical beatings much more than anyone would care to remember...My father stood back and removed himself at these times..leaving me defenceless. But that wasn't my biggest problem. I learned to cope with the beatings and even developed a "scoring" system for her, based on level of blood letting etc. Sometimes, if I thought she had failed, by not managing to draw my blood, I would finish the job for her. It was the psychological abuse that hurt me the most. Injuries stop bleeding eventually, scabs form and fall off when the process is complete. Job done, all gone, no problem. But the constant misery of "You will never amount to anything" etc. being hammered in to me as a single digit aged kid, while my meek, but much loved by me, father retreated...that was different. My perceived truth at an age when Freud would show me the man was utterly wrong. I firmly beleived that my mother despised me and regretted my existance. I even beleived that she was trying to kill me..but hadn't figured out how to get away with it. My young friend told me he loved his mother, I laughed at him and told him he was mad..he cried. I regret that. I liked him. Maybe REAL truth is a myth. Maybe toxic females are the biggest problem, or, at least, damaged ones. Was Hitler a monster..? Or did his mother make a monster..? That's a perfectly acceptable truth for ME. Oh yeah... My mother......She was German. I suffered racism about WW2 and the German crap at primary school... Kids were allowed to goose-step and nazi salute me as gangs of them pursued me around the playground. All approved of by elderly lady playground monitors who probably lost family in that war. That's enough for now, I'm exhausted. I promise you that every word here is truth...REAL truth.

    There is such a dark side to this.
    "So you are saying...[x,y,z,w]...."
    That is why you really need to accurately represent the positions of others. An honest desire to actively listen and understand others is an incredibly valuable skill.
    Like all tools, that specific conversational tool(restating the words of others) can be used for good or for evil. Just like a hammer, the tool can be used to build a house or destroy a house.
    You can hear someone without listening. And you can listen without understanding. That can lead towards problems.

    This as a utility value still does not work. If you are speaking to somebody that tells you one thing an hour that you don't know, you are still better of ending the conversation and speaking to somebody who tells you two things an hour.
    As you learn more things there may be diminishing returns on investment in conversation and learning new things becomes like Gold, however it still does not make sense to dig randomly in your garden rather than search in a place more likely to have Gold buried.

      Number one his latest focus has been in religion and God. Well any intelligent person knows that religion is basically a sociological construct that is manifested itself over the several thousands of years that his is existed and the concept of God is completely irrational completely flawed and basically God doesn't exist. Why can't people understand the simple common sense revelations?
      I can't have a joke that I love to perpetuate upon anyone who says God exists. Okay. Have God call a press conference. I'm sure the entire galaxy would be standing on edge everyone would be tuned to whatever channel he chose and every word he spoke would be recorded forever until the end of time.

    Problem I have with a lot of people is how they just want to talk endlessly, with no response at all from me. The deeper into the "conversation" we go, the less they can tolerate any response. I suppose it's because all they want to do is talk with someone who is listening to them (which I do) but they don't want to think about anything, much less be challenged on it. But that's *not* a therapy session, where the person has come to you explicitly for the sake of change. That's just average conversation between coworkers or strangers.

Also make a list of 10 things you must have in a perspective spouse, and ten things you must not have. Sounds easy, but it's not. E.g. Lying is at the top of mine (must not have) and honesty--NO, integrity at the top on the opposite poll. One of mine was also "good communicator" which I changed to 'one who is able to resolve conflicts.' If you find your 'date' can't measure up to one of the ten, drop them like a hot potato. You will definitely find other stuff you don't exactly like, but no one's perfect. But the top ten are things you will find you can't live with (or without). Sounds like you might be co-dependent.

      Boundaries, fighting fair, argument or discussion styles, conversations can be very complicated.

If you aren't able to do it on your own, you might consider having the discussions with a trained counselor who can help you learn how to have more effective, respectful, resolution-oriented conversations. Counseling was one of the best things I ever did as an adult. I'm reading a book on boundaries that is really good for me. So whatever you need, it's out there somewhere, you just have to find it. Hang in there and find what you want. Cheers!

      I know the problem with my husband and my communication. He outright tells me now, he never listens. And proof of that is very evident over the years. So now, I barely tell him anything and just do whatever I want. When he gets surprised, it no longer bothers me. I don't even say, I did tell you. I just get on with my life.
      He doesn't really like it, but it takes a long time to find ones autonomy in a marriage of decades. Especially on the heals of the traditional types of marriage.
      Once a couples' children are raised, they should each spend time focusing on their own pursuits for a while and then join up again to make a better partnership.

      Sadly at some point if you're quite educated on topics like this (e.g. watching and reading JP for a few years, but also reflecting and other things), then even good expensive psychologists I've talked to in Europe are not much more useful than just talking with your friends / family / intelligent people about your problems openly (if you're capable of being as open with those people as you are open with psychologist). So as a TL;DR I would totally find valuable having a psychologist of a level close to JP, however I doubt that there's many exist and they're probably working with top 1% of top 1% of top 1% etc

And that person would say what they thought they heard, and most of the time the other person would say no, I meant xyz, not zyz. And it would take 2-4 tries before we could concentrate on what the other person had actually said without polluting it with our own expectations of rejection or accusation. It took a lot of work to separate ourselves from the way a lot of people had treated us in the past. Forgiveness is key.

    Something hardly anyone ever does nowadays is steel manning, ie, listening to an idea and repeating it back as best as you have understood it to the original interlocutor. A system predicated on every single subject we seriously study in this life. Conversely, there's an overwhelming abundance of straw manning around, where folks just try to destroy any argument or aspect or part of the sentence of what others are saying.

    A mundane example. We recently visited a couple on business. We have very little in common. She is obsessed with the material value of property. He is obsessed with power stations. (I think he worked on them.) I have cultivated being a 'good listener' which is often interpreted by the person I listen to as me being a 'good conversationalist' . Which tells you a lot about what people want from a 'conversation'...Most people simply want to be listened to. Anyways. I listened to an hour on power stations. I asked what I hoped were intelligent questions. Not much of it stuck because well, I am not truly interested at the level he was going. Still, somewhere or other he illustrated some point about the flow of power with a mole trap. I told him we had a terrible mole problem but seemed to have an issue with setting the 'scissor trap' correctly. He happily showed me and I could see where I was going wrong. I got something useful out of the whole episode. He was happy that someone had taken an interest and he was doubly happy that he could impart knowledge. All good. The power station stuff is filed under 'pending'. With the current energy crisis I may have to dredge some of it up.

    This was Enlightening & such a great thing to know I learned a few communicating tool in this video but in gonngo back and watch it over & over till I get & understand then all & implement them in every conversation best as I can & that will improve my life in a positive e at. The most intrrsting thing I heard is about leaning to hear what the last person said & says it out loud (if in a group or a single conversation) and by hearing what they said you can expound and actually make their argument even better that was light bulb & that is some good listening ! 🤗🧐

    The issue I have with this (is because I do this when I engage with people already particularly women) I will refocus it to make sure we are on the same page with their point. I address that issue, and once I do they go back and change what it is their grievance is about. So the thing is (my personal opinion) a lot of people in society are not happy having their voices heard. They are happy dictating the emotional submissiveness of everyone until they get warn down of doing it

    I've had this particular response to those who accuse me of being opinionated. I'm opinionated because I value your opinion. In fact, I believe I deserve your opinion. And by extension, if I believe I deserve your opinion, it seems reasonable that you deserve my opinion. I know this generally doesn't work for those unwilling and especially unable to defend their opinions, but I can't seem to stop myself because I keep thinking that I will someday have a worthwhile conversation with someone willing to either adjust theirs or my opinion (it does happen). When I was very young my sister had this habit of sayin "you think you know everything". Well, no, I don't think that. But I was a voracious reader and I do have a habit of sharing things I've learned. My sister is like a very large amount of people. Unwilling to learn.

    the management and care of psychiatrically disturbed patients (clinical psychology) is not what most people do or how they orient their time on a day to day basis and most conversations aren't verbal gunfights unless you tend to be somewhat adversarial and controversial and you go around challenging everybody you meet about everything they believe and think is important.

    I find explaining a person's position to them is extremely effective. First of all it allows me to understand their point. Second it allows them to know that I understand their point. Third, it allows me to expose why their point is incorrect.
    Frequently their point would be valid if certain suppositions were true. So I simply tell them what suppositions would have to be true for their point to be valid, which breaks down their argument for me.

    Jordan sounds very pushy and domineering. He sounds like my brother, in fact. I know my brother is smart and has some good ideas, but usually his purpose is to use me for his purpose and if I listen, I will find out how he intends me to be used for his benefit. Even if the benefit is only to show me up and to impress me. If he wants to impress me, he must actually have admiration for me on some level. But I don't want to be talked at by him and I keep quiet and avoid him.
