It helps me to take a look at the podcast

and it helps me to know that the content that I propose gives you an help, gives you an inspiration daily.

I thank you and I hope you have a very good listen.

So why is it important to stop being too gentle and what is it that we hear by too gentle?

Before we start, I would really want to give you a definition of what it is to be too gentle

because I know that it's a subject

that causes a lot of people who think that being too gentle is something that is great, that it is very good and that it brings a very good thing.

When I talk about being too gentle, I'm going to be very clear on what I hear from there.

Being too gentle, it's not being empathic, it's not being well, it's not being a good person,

it's not being not to be a good friend, a good friend, a good friend,

a good friend, a good friend, a good mother.

To be too gentle, it's a traumatic response.

Why is it a traumatic response?

Because it's a compulsory to be able to be very happy for others.

It's to say that you have so internalized the belief that if you are uncomfortable for others, if you take place, if you prioritize your needs,

if you think about yourself, if you say no to others, then you will be in danger, then you will be rejected, then you will not be loved.

And so you have created this unconscious mechanism to protect yourself from facing situations of rejection,

of rejection, of humiliating or whatever the type of situation you would have lived in the past.

this mechanism has allowed you to avoid facing this danger again.

So what do you do when you grow up?

You learn to be very nice to everyone, to say yes to everything,

to really make everyone very comfortable at the cost of your comfort, at the cost of what you feel for you,

at the cost of what you feel and what you need to do.

And what will happen is that little by little, you will build a sentiment in the others and in the same way,

because you will arrive at this stage where you will realize that you do a lot of things to plaire to others, without really plaire to you.

So being too gentle, it's not being empathic, it's not being to think to others, to take care of others, to be a good person.

Being too gentle, it's really a mechanism of survival that we developed when we were faced with situations

where we realized that it was dangerous for us to think about ourselves, to prioritize ourselves.

And it's really important to understand that every human being has needs, has limits.

Every human being has a desire to say yes and a desire to say no in other contexts.

No one at all the time has a desire to say yes.

No one at all the time has the resources to help others.

So, no one is always in the way to be present for others.

That doesn't exist, okay?

It's really important to understand and accept it because very often we are in this thing of saying, well, I don't accept it,

I want to be here for everyone.

Well, you can't be here for everyone and it's completely normal.

It means that you're an human human, you're not a robot.

And even if we take the example of robots, there's no robot today who is in order to H24,

to have all the time resources to serve humans.

It doesn't exist.

Why do you imagine you are able to serve others, to say yes to others, to be servible, comfortable, and comfortable for everyone?

A computer needs to be charged to be able to work.

And yet it's a machine.

And you who is a human being, you think you don't need to charge your batteries, you think that you have the ability to be human, to be all the time agréable and to say yes to everyone.

So it's really important to understand that being too gentle, it's not a sign of inner beauty, it's simply a mechanism of survival.

And when I say that, there's no judgment.

I've suffered from the syndrome of the person agréable practically all my life.

I just barely have to go, and it's still a good job.

Because I was the person who had to have compulsively, to plair to everyone, to be agressive for everyone.

You have a problem, I will solve it.

You have a problem, I will save it.

You don't want to worry about it.

You don't want to give me service, I don't need help.

I don't want to cause an uncomfortable person.

And I was the queen of that for years.

And what I want you to understand here is that it is very important

to observe and observe this conclusion that you have to go all the time to say yes, all the time to try to make your needs, to put it together.

Because in fact, what happens often is that we do not really do for the other.

We do it before because it is uncomfortable for us to confront this non that we would really say to the other.

And so I would really want you to understand that you can be a good person, you can be a empathic person,

You can be very sensitive, very good, very good in the other, and in the same time, have a desire to say no, and in the same time,

have a desire to send the people to the other, and in the same time, have a desire to put limits in your relationship.

It doesn't make you a bad person.

What is nocive, is to confuse gentleness and goodwill.

La gentillesse excessive, ce n'est pas de la bienveillance.

Une question que je t'invite à te poser et qui est vraiment importante, et c'est pour ça que je voulais vraiment faire ce podcast,

parce qu'on a vraiment tendance à croire que pour être aimé des autres, il faut qu'on soit très gentil.

En réalité, c'est tout l'inverse qui se produit, et c'est vraiment important de le reconnaître.

Il y a beaucoup de gens qui ne seront pas d'accord avec ça, but I can guarantee you that if you observe well the situations in

which you have suffered or in which you have felt abused, it's often a situation where you want to be too gentle,

arrange everyone, to be a problem of what you are doing.

And so in fact, what happens when you are too gentle, is that people, unfortunately or heureusement, will perceive this excess gentleness as a fax.

And it's a real fail, and that's something I want to say openly.

I really recognize it for myself, this fail.

This fail to really want to play, to want to be able to play well.

And it's really something that I've had a lot of trouble to recognize.

Because for me, I was thinking, it's important to be a good person, etc. Because I had this definition of gentleness which was wrong.

So when you are too gentle, you show to others how much you need their validation.

You show how much you are in need of this validation,

how much you are in their confirmation,

their approbation, a bit like an infant who needs to approve his parents.

And in doing that, you give a huge power to those who are in front of you, whether you want it or not.

So what is important is to ask you what you really want.

Do you want to be appreciated people or do you want to be respected people?

And attention, when I ask this question, it's a question that I always ask myself, and the answer is that I want to be respected.

It doesn't mean that we're going to the other side.

So you see, if you were a specter, if you were a specter in front of you, being too gentle is really in the opposite of the specter.

being too hard, too sick, too weak it's the opposite of the opposite and what happens often is

100

that people too gentile will have a tendency at a moment to explode

101

to go to the other side of the spectrum

102

and to suffer the consequences of the other side because in the two extremes there are very very difficult consequences

103

so the goal is to arrive at a center at an internal balance where you feel

104

that you are faithful to your values that you are faithful to your empathic, to your love that you have in you, to your love that you have for others, and in the same time,

105

that you are faithful to your own person, to your needs, to your resources,

106

to your capacities, and that you make this dance between the two that allows you to be in your center.

107

So it's really important to ask you this question.

108

And then you will see that when you talk about being too gentle, there are really three categories of people who will tell you

109

non mais qu'est ce que tu racontes c'est important d'être gentil c'est important d'être hyper gentil avec les gens

110

en fait la première catégorie de personnes c'est ceux qui ne

111

comprennent pas ce que c'est exactement qu'être trop gentil ils ont

112

une définition d'être trop gentil qui n'est pas la vraie définition en tout cas qui n'est pas ma définition

113

ils voient l'excès de gentillesse, de politesse comme une forme d'empathie, de bienveillance ce qui n'est pas le cas du tout ok You can be empathic,

114

you can be well-being, and not necessarily be in the excess of gentillesse, the excess of politesse.

115

Then the second category is those who benefit from your excesses, because it makes them arrange.

116

It makes you want to arrange them.

117

It makes them in a very comfortable position.

118

And then the third category of people are those who are

119

because you are holding a mirror and they don't want to put in question their own excès gentile.

120

They have a problem to put in question.

121

And that's really the three categories of people who will convince you to be too gentle.

122

So if you want to change the image that you will be able to get to the other, you will need to, little by little,

123

in your behavior and in what you send to others and what you send to you, you get to get away from this need of excessive validation.

124

It's a bit, you see, the gentile, it comes a bit of this thing inside of us where

125

it's like if we didn't eat for a week and we were facing people who could give us to eat.

126

We are so tired, so we are so afraid, so we are so afraid to play all the others.

127

And in fact, what I feel personally, I feel very much in the Exceed Gentillesse, it was, I'm in danger, I'm afraid, I need to validate,

128

I need to be confident, I need to be confident.

129

And so if you want to send an image more charismatic, more confident and really start to put in your relationship,

130

and to affirm that you will need to send an image different.

131

And how do you do that?

132

You need to make an inventive of what I send as image to others.

133

Whether in my language verbal or non-verbally, what I send as image as an image to others?

134

Is it that I'm excusing all the time, excessively?

135

Excessive politeness.

136

Is it that I say thank you all the time?

137

It's a huge sign of need of validation.

138

When we say thank you all the time, thank you, thank you, thank you.

139

What does that mean?

140

It shows that we are not at all because someone has done something for us.

141

What does it show that we are not at all because this person has done something for us?

142

It shows that we are not at all and dignified of what this person has done.

143

So it's an important point.

144

The third point is how do you position yourself?

145

What is your posture?

146

Are you looking at the people right in the eyes?

147

Are you open your eyes?

148

Are you holding your eyes open? is it you are trying to hide and minimize your posture or adopt your posture

149

and Amy Cuddy is an American research research at Harvard she

150

talks great well she did a TED talk there on power poses she says

151

that it is extraordinary how our posture influences

152

our state of being inside and what we refer to others

153

and that is something that I experienced but in direct

154

when I was doing a hard work at school I was

155

referring to this image to you can do everything you can

156

do everything you can do everything with me I will stay there

157

and when I started changing my body corporel it was one of the most powerful transformations

158

that I have been in my life.

159

Then what do you say what do you think what do you position

160

is it a tendency to have a lot to be a head, a lot to be a head, a lot to be a head, a lot to be a head, a lot to be a head, when we are a head of a head,

161

we show to others that we need to be able to be able to be able to be.

162

It's also simple as that.

163

So I would really like to take the time to think about that

164

and to remind you that it's ok to be uncomfortable for people, it's ok to not always smile, not always say thank you, not always say thank you,

165

it's okay to take place, it's okay to be uncomfortable, to be uncomfortable for certain people,

166

because it's completely okay to be you-même and to be able to be yourself.

167

And if I can add something,

168

I would also say that your traumas and your past make you think it's dangerous for you to be uncomfortable for others, that you will be less loved,

169

less accepted, but I can I want to guarantee you something,

170

you can't be really loved by being always nice for others.

171

If you want to be really loved, be really loved to be really loved.

172

Otherwise, you will do it to create the illusion

173

that others are loved for what you are

174

when in reality you feel forced to play a role for those who are loved

175

And so you bring them to appreciate a false version of you Which,

176

in the end, they don't really appreciate it Because no one really appreciates someone who is really all the time

177

Agreeable It doesn't exist

178

When I think of the people I think of the most

179

It's not people who are all the time agreeable It's not

180

people who have no reface It's not people who are perfect Who are all the time gentile, all the time excessivement polies But no, it's people who are real,

181

who can be sometimes, who have their faults.

182

And it's the same with you.

183

It will be the same thing.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
