On the face of it, not liking someone during the dating game is everyone's great prerogative.

Who could possibly question our tastes if we complained on leaving a restaurant

or museum that we found them just too loud or too stupid, too weak or too supernaturally inclined?

If we said we didn't like their chin or that there was something a bit weird around their hips?

It's surely for each one of us to decide according to the movements of our hearts

and on that basis to gain appropriate sympathy for repeatedly not finding someone worthy of our time and our desire.

However, after we've cycled through a certain number of candidates, after we've returned home from our 20th or 87th fruitless date,

after we've yet again discovered, age 42 or 59, that the person across the table from us wasn't quite right,

we may be encouraged to ask ourselves a few pointed questions.

in order to judge whether the problem might truly lie with them

or whether it might not perhaps have something to do with us.

Though innumerable people will clearly be objectively flawed in a variety of ways, there are cases where the wrongness we detect may primarily speak

of a psychological dynamic in us – a bias towards rejecting people not because they are unsuitable per se,

but because, just out of reach of our day-to-day consciousness, proximity to anyone, however accomplished and viable they might be,

is associated with danger and intrusion.

Although we may say in extremely moving tones that we're really interested in finding love,

it may be that the prospect of actually finding it is not in fact at all simple, that it may reignite a fear,

probably related to disappointments or perverse loyalties formed in childhood, of what could happen if it really came along.

Way back, our attachment to our earliest caregivers may have taught us that loving people is not, in fact, either safe or advisable.

We may have learnt, in the vagaries of our family lives, that trusting people was likely to be followed by disappointment.

That those who know us from up close are prone to betray us catastrophically.

That making ourselves vulnerable will invite abuse.

We may not be aware, as we play the dating game, that we're carrying such complex emotional legacies.

we may sincerely believe that we crave love above all else and would embrace it open-heartedly if it ever came along.

And yet a part of us may still somewhere in the background be working overtime to ensure

that every single new candidate that the apps

or our friends have put forward is ruthlessly examined and rejected before they ever come close to threatening our isolation.

We may publicly be committed to a relationship while privately wedded to the only state we associate with safety – solitude.

How then might we judge the difference?

How to know whether we are rejecting people out of a pathological wish to stay alone, born out of childhood wounds,

or else rejecting them because they suffer from a maddening conversational habit or have a weird chin?

There is one acute question we might raise with ourselves to tell the difference.

If this prospective partner were a bit less keen, a bit less attentive, a bit less enthusiastic about seeing us again,

might we like them more?

Might distance improve their prospects in our eyes?

If the question makes little sense, if we can't remotely imagine why any of this would make a difference, if there's nothing at all about them not messaging us for days

that would alter the unbudgeable problem with their chin or their laugh, then the problem may on balance properly lie with them.

If, however, we recognise, pretty much as soon as the question is asked,

that yes, strangely somehow it does appear that we would like them rather more if they texted less often, that we would make more of an effort if they were busier,

that we'd even start to desire and long for them if we didn't pass muster in their eyes, then what we may be dealing with is not another flawed candidate,

so much as the activation of a temperamental attachment mechanism formed by our experiences in untrustworthy,

claustrophobic or neglectful childhoods.

It's a major achievement when we've understood enough about our pasts to finally cease to feel revulsion

or suspicion around those who threaten us with love.

When we can take kindness at face value, when we don't seek to annihilate or punish those who want to be sympathetic towards us,

it is a seismic moment when we can bear to reflect

that the real problem may lie not

so much with them for liking us as with our pasts for not allowing us to tolerate another's curiosity and goodness.

Thank you.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
