For me, it was the inner child part. Like yeah, we can be masochists and have dirty thoughts that are fun now, but our childhood self who didn't even know the concept of enjoying pain, also used to have fun, and that type of fun, goofing around, feels so right. The older I get I've always just looked back and cringed at younger me's actions, but now I'm just proud. I miss how expressive I was, especially the weirder cringey stuff.

I want to be able so badly to not care and just be authentic. But at the same time I am just a caring person. I care about this world and people.

@@daphnialxs3918 You have to accept these uncomfortable feelings. To embrace them. That's what Julien says in the "letting go" part. And btw this what almost every "spiritual leader" such as Eckhart Tolle and the likes say as well. The reason they all say this is because it's true. You have inner work to do. When the discomfort starts, pay attention to it. Face it. It's like going to a gym (only in this case, the gym is within). It's painful, but over time the muscles grow and you get better. At some point the pain won't scare you anymore. You'll smile or even laugh at it because you know that ultimately it's totally harmless and it will go away anyway. It's only so powerful because you are trying to avoid it. This fear gives it power. Not the feeling itself. They way out is through. Much love ❤️! You are already waking up, so don't worry.

[@user-jn6jm4bb6f]

People never love or not love you yourself, they love or hate your courage, to be who you are. Because they then ask themselves: "If he managed to do it, why can't I do it too?" And then there is a small voice in us that asks: "Why do I really feel like I can't do this? What inside me keeps whispering to me that I can't?." It is quite similar to when a parent and a child see a child playing enthusiastically in a playground and the child asks: "Why am I not allowed to play?" And the parent, instead of allowing him, simply makes the other child stop playing and then flatten the playground completely so that no children will play in it and that he will not have to answer the question again. why? Because there is really no answer to the question the child asked. Why did he act this way? Because that's how his parents acted upon him.

I think the hardest part is when everyone thinks you are being fake, but you are actually being genuine. There are some people who are just genuinely likable, and they really don’t care if people like them or not. But because they seem to get along with most people, everyone assumes they are fake. Kind of a sucky place to live. I’ve actually started purposely being an ass to people just so they think I’m genuine, when I’m actually having to be fake because of people like this.

[@CatalinNicanov]

Why do you care what people assume?

[@notsure9802]

Ok, when Julien said who can come flow for 30 seconds. Then the dude in the white shirt came up. He was nervous but had the front. Then Julien kept interrupting and carrying on. I think it would have been more effective to let the dude have his 30 seconds first. Also, even if he had a bit of a front, it takes courage to face our fears and be the willing to be the guinea pig when you know your going to get crituqued. I dont disagree with what was said, just could have been done a bit more respectfully. I get it, why tip toe around people's feelings, and all that. Idk, just my 2 cents.

[@stevenmunro2739]

spot on

[@Bulat_B]

But why do you think it would be more effective that way? You know the guy? You put yourself in his shoes and thought about it? You are not that guy in front of the audience, and you have no idea of what would be more effective. Yes, Julien could be a little bit more respectful, but he decided not to be like that and to show how the guy is pretending to be someone else instead (without waiting an approval of his actions in front of the audience). Stay true to yourself. All the best. Bulat.

Julien, you are one of the best at making people be themselves. Shyness and awkwardness stifle our personalities, and the only thing that can break our social barriers is by talking to people.

[@delmar418]

Because we live in a world of entrepreneurial trust me projection, but behind closed doors a different person. Vulnerability and authenticity makes people really uncomfortable because they fear their front and reputation will be exposed. YET, they insist on something they know very little about: transparency. It's so one-sided. When people ask me how I am I tell them and they run away. It's about running away from emotions and that includes the emotions of others. Narcissists love to bring down authentic people too.

[@karl882]

Thank you my friend ❤😘. And much respect to the 2 guys who stood up as well! Keep going!

[@kaitybell]

I am saving this to a playlist to re-watch and remind myself while I work on finding who I am. I am trying to heal a lot of trauma and I resonated with being a social chameleon and that getting along with everyone is fake. I realize that I do voice my opinions on things I believe in, but if someone responds with the opposite opinion, instead of maintaining my stance, I go quiet and just let them say it without giving my response so I don't create conflict in the discussion as a coping mechanism from my childhood. Absolute epiphany. I am a people pleaser, anxious attacher, overthinking person because I never feel like I'm good enough, that I'm a burden on my family, and that if I can't do something perfectly I'll fail and failure is not an option. I have a lot of work to do and this has already helped me so much.

[@krista1686]

22:44 is so scary because people you work with who are fake will use your insecurities against you at work and will bully you.

[@mbcommandnerd]

Thank you so much, Julien! I’ve been struggling with being a people pleaser my whole life up to this point, and this video FINALLY helped me to realize it and break free! Starting today, I’m not gonna be fake anymore. I’m gonna be who I truly am! 😁

This is the first time I witnessed someone PROVE how being AND staying true to yourself can be a major step in self development. To me, for a moment it almost looked like he was bullying the guy, but when you see how significantly it changed the guy's demeanor, you realise that's exactly the kind of questions you should be asking yourself. Truly amazing.

I have adhd and asd so unfortunately me being real me and dropping the front equals ALOT of people correcting me, telling to do things differently, getting mad at me for doing, saying things too honestly, or simply doing things differently, or trying to make me put back on my fake front bcs my normal self means not normal for the normie. Damn people..

[@soniak5028]

Oh Julien you are a breath of fresh air. You cannot imagine how my heart is resonating with your words, I feel like it is time for me to drop the social mask I've been wearing for so long thinking i'd receive love .. Guess what ? I only received rejection and hate, I was so mad - but now I understand that's because I was expressing from behind the mask and not from my authentic self. A part of me (my heart) is jumping (beating) with joy that I finally understood this. Thank you, Soni

[@spiderman-ej5hr]

The guy on stage was super natural and fun and authentic. Not so Julian, he seems to actually want to control every situation and didn't like that the other could also flow well and tried to put him down but the guy was too confident about himself to take it, what made Julian even more obsessed to show him, very narcisistic and full of himself. Seems to me he is actually someone who probably is trying to impress more than any other and might still want to impress more than he believes himself.

[@wiene03rg]

So true!

[@chillyobaggins]

Yeah well he had to prove his point that not every one can flow like him lol So he insinuates that the guy should be able to act like a weirdo in public and not care or else he’s a pervert 😂 It’s all in fun but I can see someone who is sensitive, which obviously a lot of these people are, feeling frustrated by snapshot judgements. I’m all for using exposure to at least develop the capability of behaving outside of your norm but modern society has lost it’s ability to value meekness. We must project strength, even if it is the strength of “authenticity”.

[@SuperBusle]

Yes whatever he wanted to prove by making fun of the other guy, in this exaggerated way, was just really stupid. Just not professional at all, but it's okay if this is how he is in his authentic way haha 🤣. A Buddhist monk could give us all the same speech, and there wouldn't be this narcissistic self-staging behavior, but simply more love and compassion. What he says has truth to it but I just see someone doing a "show".

[@abdurrehmanrana786]

You have truly opened one of my eyes to think this way. I always felt that being fake was my natural side and never realize two sides, but now I see and understand it better in depth.

[@itgirl959]

Julien I watched the majority of videos where you put people on the spot and I really wonder what they enjoy more: to be authentic in front of a crowd or the intimacy you create in order to get them to do that… if I was there on stage and you’d ask me these questions that show so much care I would have butterflies

"Authenticity is a breath of Fresh Air"

[@Marzena-Magdalena]

Mostly we are pretending to be someone else then we are because of the fear which is running in our body-mind system and very often we are not even aware of it. It's not just that I wanna be liked by others, first and foremost I wanna feel safe that's why I pretend to be someone else. And very often under the fear it's a lot of buried hurt from childhood which most adults are terrified to face. From my own inner work and from a woman perspective gentle and soft approach it is crucial if it comes to feeling these buried emotions.

that swiss guy actually seemed pretty cool and authentic to me. there was no need for the speaker to say he was "not cool". authenticity takes different forms. it doesnt always look like the speaker. some people naturally have a more quiet and subtle demeanor.

yeah ok, i got the point. but at some momemts id have said " shut up, you put me in front of people and only forgot to pull my pants down or what?" especially in a different language? only to hear something that you call authenticity? shyness can also be authentic. its not always the shy persons mistake. rudeness under the flag of authenticity is in my eyes a lack of respect in some way. you dudes did amazing, i wouldnt wanted to be in your position. nevertheless, i got the point, but with hard methodes, those dudes had to go through. nevertheless, thanks for your video 😊 hopp schwitz, grüsse aus Österreich 🎉

[@Huntington12345678]

Hi, Julien. I remember when I stopped being myself: 4th grade. School became harder. Puberty started hitting. I was starting to get fat. I was still full of life, but I was constantly getting in trouble for being loud. I wasn't mean or a bully. I was just loud. Getting in constant trouble and having a difficult relationship with my Dad, (he had a severe confidence and inferiority complex,) caused my brain to completely rewire. Got picked on a lot, too, trying to be funny to try to get them to like me. So, that was the time the real me was thrown in a dark dungeon, and the fake me took over. Completely. Now, I can barely talk to anyone, without my vocal cords tightening up and fear wracking my whole body. I'm going to try and be myself. I'M SCARED AS F***... but I'm ALWAYS full of fear, anyway, so why not just be myself? What's the difference, right? 🥴 Thank you, for your videos. Thanks, for your bravery.

[@li1928]

Julien.. randomly your videos came to me.. despite of not having social anxiety, a lot of what was said showed feelings that I had throughout my life but didn't know/realize them, maybe bc they were so hidden, that I couldn't know how to verbalize them. Also, it makes me feel sad, bc while seeing this I really hoped that a beloved one would have access to this... It is sad not to be able to reach someone with social anxiety, bc the person just push us away, even though we are willing to support and be by their side no matter what. We feel like our hands are tied , we love the person for what they are and that's all. But suddenly they just freak out and decides to push us away, without sharing what is going on to let us to fight with them... 😢

[@thebadsiddhartha]

Hi, Swiss guy here too... :D I'd like to note something you might not agree with, on how you react with their un-eased attitude. Don't you think pushing hard someone who's relatively shy is a little off-topic? I mean, I agree with you on how we need to acknowledge our own "fakeness" and work on it. But as someone who's struggled both to find my real-me and with my self-critic mentality since a very very young age, I think you're also confusing fake shy attitude for shyness. Moreover, I could literally turn the card back at you saying you do this and that when you're on stage, that you wouldn't need to do if you were 100% real. This is judgmental at worse and clumsy at best. But be careful not to judge too fast others' behavior based on your own biases. Thanks though for sharing this speech with us!

[@Thregh]

Shyness is not the same as social anxiety. And being shy is not bad. What can be bad is the consequences in social situations, and the behavior you do or don’t do. I would say embrace the shy part of you, and practice showing and doing the behavior you want to do in your daily life.

[@yiyahe]

Thanks!

[@Visionfox1]

Yo I resonated big time with my second brotha! After primary school I became really shy when talking to girls because of being rejected once or twice when I tried to open up. This experience or to be more precise the fear of going through rejection again still sticks to me until today like a little mugger who steals my confidence in a confronting situation from the beginning. Watching the video and realizing that I am not the only one who is struggling with sort of the same problem defenitly encourages me but I'm still kinda pissed off that I do so little about it even though I know I have to leave my comfort zone and front my fears to change something and to be in peace with myself. I appreciate the work and the good spirit guys, I thank you a lot!

[@ScarletteXoxo-wg2ui]

When I was working in a call center company before, I had a team mate who's very opposite to the vast majority. She doesn't care if she looks outdated, and even not cared about being presentable to everyone. I thought she was just ignoring us coz or she thinks of herself as above us. However, I now realize that she just doesn't please people. She can have a different views from our topics and not care if someone gets mad at her. She's just being authentically herself. That is the best key take away that I've learned from this video. Thank you so much for showing us this!

I had a similar experience. That the guy on white is being over talked, and forced into the frame. So gaslighting etc. but I’m not exactly sure about it, it might be a correct observation by Julian also. I’ve seen similar situations with other coaches where it’s just bullying and power techniques.

[@thecoachzimm]

Love the work being done here. To present this differently but in the same thread...the idea is to get so good with ourselves that we do not feel the need to hide things about ourselves. Shame, guilt and grief are feelings we all share. To own it is to address it and use forgiveness + acceptance to treat it. Integration of the shadow is another way to frame this. Vulnerability is a powerful thing because by doing it first, you are not only loving yourself with forgiveness and acceptance...but you are also inviting others to be vulnerable by example. Mirror neurons at play.

[@jordanparanihi1947]

Just parts of you that are bottling up undealt with anger bro. If you got help with that, then maybe you'd realise your truths aren't only destructive. Look up internal family systems, it's a really easy way of going into it. Being fake is the worst prison - even if a man is in prison, he could still be a free man inside himself. That's what it means to be truly free. ❤
