He said, “If you just looked at me virtually, you’d think like I was the world’s most embattled person in some way, you know. Maybe not the world’s most, but I’m up in the top ten, maybe.

Peterson states that he travels from city to city. However, he has never encountered any problems on the street or while meeting strangers. Moreover, almost every interaction he has had on the streets has been positive. Several times, there have been people who aren’t aware of him. Nevertheless, people who recognize him have left him with a positive feeling.

Peterson opens up about negative interactions

During the podcast, Peterson highlighted the stark contrast between online interactions and real-life interactions. He talks about how rare negative interactions with people are in person. While online interactions can often be negative and confrontational, real-life interactions tend to be much more positive and productive.

He said, “I’ve only had like three negative interactions with people in the real life in last six years. Like they stand out, they’re not fun. But they’re extremely rare. But online, it’s like, well, 50% of the people opposed Jordan Peterson. It’s like, no they don’t, it’s not even one percent.

As per Peterson, people are much more likely to engage in productive and positive conversations when they are face-to-face, rather than hiding behind a screen. This is why real-life interactions are so valuable and important, as they allow us to connect with others on a deeper and more meaningful level.
