Let's imagine you had a bad childhood.

You may hardly remember it.

It almost doesn't matter.

The easiest way to assess what once went on is to reflect on how you feel about yourself now.

The clearest sign of having had a miserable start is a deep self-hatred.

You think you're ugly.

You can't bear to look in mirrors.

You never want to upset anyone and suspect everyone hates you.

You feel unacceptable and weird and just in multiple non-specific ways.

Diseased and not right.

Behind such feelings there will have been the normal villains.

A critical and unloving mother or father.

Some violence and unpredictability.

Huge preference for a sibling.

There are only so many ways these sorts of wounds form.

But the real legacy comes in love.

Here, after the normal awful adolescence, eating disorders, cutting, alienation, drink, etc. you have two options.

Firstly, to fall in love with cruel, distant, possibly violent, intermittent, unavailable people.

You can fall in love with people who are married to someone else or who don't call you, who make you feel inadequate and unseen and constantly alarmed and unsure.

You can love people who think you're unlovable.

Or else, you can love people who really like you, who think you're attractive and sweet and clever and you can feel powerfully ill around them.

You can become an expert in identifying what's wrong with them.

They're not clever enough, they're weird, they've got no options.

You criticise their taste in shoes, the shape of their mouth, a comment they made at a party.

You become as critical of them as your parents were once critical of you.

How could someone who liked you be anything other than a loser?

You end up pushing them away, maybe not directly, but by going slightly cold or flirting with strangers.

You know well enough how to detonate trust conclusively.

This rigmarole can go on for most of your life.

Unavailable, cruel people and sickeningly available ones.

And in the in-between times, devastating loneliness.

It's been going on forever.

You can be sure this sort of thing went on in Renaissance Florence and Ming Dynasty Beijing.

Is there any way out?

There is, perhaps, just a third option.

To understand what's going on and to share it with someone who is kind

and perceptive and who might have problems of their own and a good therapist.

To meet someone who threatens to make us feel sick with their sweetness, then to explain to them what we understand of our problem.

Rather than pretending that we are healthy and can bear their kindness without difficulty, we may be able to tell them, I want so much to be normal,

I want so much to tolerate kindness, but I have an illness.

My past means I can't accept love, I can't digest it, I turn against it and the person giving it to me.

But I don't want to be like this anymore.

I'm tired of sabotaging relationships and turning away good people.

Please help me to bear the anxiety of being cared for.

Please help me to absorb the love I crave.

Please forgive me for being unwell.

If the person doesn't immediately run away, if they can see the decency behind the shame and the tenderness behind the neurosis,

if they can partly understand our problem from the inside, we will be making momentous progress.

We won't be healed yet, but at least we'll know how ill we are

and will have found a way to hint at the scale of our terrors of kindness.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
