I’m a bit confused how your saying everyone wears a mask totally agree but your wearing sunglasses … you can’t even look them in the eyes?

[@ninosteam3007]

I used to be a people pleaser, a doormat, so to speak. The way I slowly remove my mask is by starting it with silence. If I don't feel like answering other people's questions, especially those toxic gloating and gossiping ones, i just don't answer it. They started thinking that I'm rude now, but so be it, at least my boundaries is now set.

​​@@sans4124he difference is kindness is an act done out of genuine nature that extends goodness to another person. Being nice is just an expression with no heart behind it.

[@themysteryofgodliness6574]

​@@sans4124Thats my take at least

[@losgryfog]

​@@themysteryofgodliness6574that makes no sense. Most "people pleasers" are genuinely like that. I genuinely treat people well, I just accepted that mental illness is real so most people abuse good people. Now I'm a loner and feel better about myself... except when I get horny, so I'll deal with a woman until she becomes abusive then I'll cut her off like everyone else. I still don't understand this concept of being a popular shitty person enjoying the company of other popular shitty people. It's just counterintuitive to me.

[@themysteryofgodliness6574]

@@losgryfog Just because you don't like being around people doesn't mean that they don't deserve the same amount of kindness if you would deserve. I never said anything about pleasing people. Nice people are people pleasers, kind people are people who empathize with other's struggles, and treat people with the treatment they themselves would want. I do agree society so whack right now it's hard to even be around most people, but personally I would still treat them with kindness.

[@YWFilmProductions]

What do you mean by the universe responding to you, I always hear people saying that and never understood it once. Is it like life changes for you and you start seeing it? Why does the term the universe be used, like as if outer space is controlling this or something

@@YWFilmProductions thats a good question, i do believe outer space controls everything in a way lol! Here i just mean the universe as in, everyone everywhere i go.

Saying "good" is another way to say, "I dont know you, i dont care for you, therefore, i dont care to open up to you". Great for random people. For family and close friends, maybe co workers, yes, you SHOULD be able to express yourself, but you SHOULD also be careful about who you open up to. Reality is that most people wont reciprocate your feelings and you might feel worse after sharing. So share with those you know that care, ktherwise, say good all the time and dgf.

[@angelcrush3320]

I do agree but you also need to give people the chance, to become someone more close to you in the first place. maybe you'll get surprised. by letting your mask fall infront of others, they might react in a similar way and you could bond over that a little.

[@lizloukiss]

I’m a recovering people pleaser. At some point, after I having 3 kids and the pandemic, I just got so sick of dealing with bullshit - especially my own. I was too tired to pretend everything was fine. Everything I did my entire life was out of concern for what people would think of me. It becomes addictive when you start to feel free to be yourself. It’s alarming to people who found comfort in your ability to please them. Some people are not in my life anymore because they found my honesty shocking after decades of me being a passive doormat. My relationship with my family, especially with my husband and the friends who have endured, feels so much more meaningful and authentic. My social calendar has decreased a lot, only doing things that are really important to me and my family. I’m much more introverted and protective of where I expend my energy, and I have way more time and attention for myself and the people I love. Best of all, my peace of mind grown exponentially. But I find I’m challenged daily and if I’m not careful the old habits of masking will come back. It’s definitely triggering and I have to constantly examine myself. But it feels really good.

[@bann5777]

I used to be honest and tell people how I truly felt and what I thought. I found that people didnt actually want to know, they were being "polite" but didnt really want to be "burdened" by my honesty. I stopped having friends and stopped talking casually to my family.

Be kind, patient, and respectful, but make no apology for being you and setting boundaries for yourself. I know you can do it because I did it, and I used to have zero confidence in myself.

[@dasunit07]

I totally agree with what you are preaching here. Being authentic is so important, but I’ve found that because so many people are struggling with their own mental health and issues, that saying “negatively oriented things” becomes a burden to listen to. Hence, people distance. May not be immediately but it will happen. This is what people subconsciously register and that’s why we’ve become a “im good culture.”

[@aliceandappetizers]

This resonates, I’ve seen it so heavily in my life that at times I communicate negative things in hopes the person leaves me alone/never speaks to me again. It’s good to know I’m no longer the source of others feel good but at times I try to consider that others have helped build me up in dark times and no one in this world is meant to live this life alone. There is a balance but how do we mitigate it to reflect the life we want outwardly?

[@1badombre82]

Very interesting. I think this has a lot to do with why addiction is so prevalent. I'm just starting to learn these things in 12 step rooms. That is also the only place I've seen people be honest about how they are actually doing recently or at the moment

I agree. I'd always been an "energizer bunny", "supermom" until 6 years ago when I developed sudden and severe Type 1 narcolepsy (currently receiving disability). I lost everything I'd worked for (just 4 years out of school and in a new career) except for the clothes on my back and a few knickknacks (home, car, career, 4 animals, both my kids moved away, meds caused me to lose 30lbs- now just 93lbs - and all my hair to fall out ...) and after 6-ish months of me being completely devastated (and homeless) my dad said, "I can't take this negativity anymore" and refused to speak to me for 11.5 months. Being real didn't go well for me at all.

It's insane how watching videos and thinking of what is being said to whomever in the audience, or whomever is pulled on stage is actually you talking directly to me is changing my perspective of me. Also, pertaining to the last video I watched which was about anxiety and talking to younger selves, that I used to barrage myself with mean comments and self argue when i am alone. But recently I noticed that instead of just the self insults, its more of a heated discussion with myself, like my younger self and I are telling each other what the issue is and that I don't actually despise myself, but in-fact, I understand that what I did was a consequence of putting on a front.

[@TheTyroneTyrone]

Amazing video! Not only Julien talks about the pleasing behaviour but also how to fix it. Fixing it takes time, but everything that you work on long hours will be an honest payoff. Most people take others down because otherwise they would not survive. And it’s easier to survive this way than put in long effort to change your innerself in an authentic way. 1. Go deep in meditative state, find the past situations and emotions u were in, then keep letting those emotions go to the ground. Do this for a few months. 2. From now on every interaction with a human being u come across who pushes your boundaries stay conscious about it, try to be relaxt and tell or show them it’s not what u want, u can also look at them at a certain way. Do what u want and how u want it. Accept the fear, accept the conflict and go in anyway. This way u also create more positieve reference experiences and claim ur power back. The only way is to going true the wall directly. Done.

[@cybronichuman]

When I started learning English, the first thing that struck me was that such deep and personal question like "how are you?" is basically just a part of greeting someone, when nobody in fact cares about what the answer is, and people are taught to automatically spit out "Fine, thanks! How are you?" - returning the favor of asking fake questions and not caring what the answer is. Imo, people need to stop asking such questions unless they really mean it, otherweise they are just spreading the fakeness.

Putting on a front, trying to fit in, just so that people will like you is so TIRING. It's like "Gees, can I just be myself?!? Why do when I feel like I am being who I truly am when no one is around, I get the sense that in your mind, you are belittling me? When I reveal dorky, quirky, boring stuff, I feel that you are belittling me? Why is it that I can't just be my corny, child like self around you? When you act however you act, no matter how differentiated it is from me, I still choose to accept and embrace that of you - so why is it that you cannot do the same for me or for anyone who isn't "COOL" like you? Why people can't let people be themselves?" If I get the sense someone doesn't allow me to be the inner child, which we all have within us - I'll just choose not to be around this person. I'm not going to ignore that aspect of myself just to be "COOL" and to "FIT IN". It's not worth it. It's like a full time job that only pays you back in stress. It's too much work 😅

[@drestotv4444]

Wow dude what a good life advice.

[@dddavid132]

It's self esteem and you should build it up so you can always turn inwards when you need recognition and validation.

From time to time it's good to get it from other people but if not you can always get it from yourself.

[@CSAcrazy]

I keep hearing this. Like if you stop being so kind it will help you, people will respect you, people will trust you and like you, women will get turned on, the world will bend to your desire… no people will just not like you more. We’re all fake and trying to get something out of being nice but their is a social agreement to do that and when you opt out of the agreement it doesn’t set you aside as some real, strong, cool person that everybody respects and cherishes now. No they don’t like you cause you shatter their illusion of themselves and you intimidate them.

[@hummingbird4934]

I think there’s truth in this. I had an amazing friend once who was very authentic and very honest but I know a lot of people found her intimidating. I personally found her refreshing until the last time we had a disagreement and she was a little too frank with me! Not easy when you’re struggling with mental health issues! Sadly our friendship never recovered after that so I think being careful with how honest you are is important as well. I still miss her tho authenticity like that is rare 😢

[@debless9]

Two minutes into this video and I'm reminded of my mom. Ask her how she's doing, she'll tell you about her backpain, headache and that she's on antibiotics for an urinary tract infection.

I don't think we always need to be so literal.

Nice one, actually it's so sad that people go through life and have never been who they really are, authenticity is best seen when we are children, and later most people only see what society approves, it affects their relationships, work, behavior, what they can do and can't do, what they can and can't say..

This makes me feel a bit better about myself. Usually when someone asks me how I'm doing, if a say good, I give a short reason why such as a new season of a show I like came out or I got a hot date or I got a bonus pay. Otherwise I usually say "fair could be worse could be better" or "I don't know yet my day just started". It's honest and is definitely an answer that makes for a lively conversation without being too personal. Some people look at me puzzled for a second but then I tell them ide rather be honest than a drone. It definitely causes people to think rather than being a mindless replay recording of responses. It's a thing that bothers me quite a bit.

[@stoiccrane4259]

To be fair when most people ask how you're doing they don't really care so the "good" response is just an empty reply to an empty question. I'd rather say nothing at all than ask someone how they're doing if I honestly don't care so when they ask to me it kind of pisses me off.

[@crimsonspade4305]

@@stoiccrane4259 I get that its more of a "none of your business type of question". It's kind of a shame we live in a world where people's genuine concern for others, even complete strangers can be faked. But I generally try not to make assumptions of others. Because what if that person happens to be the kind that would give they're shirt off they're own back to someone in the middle of a blizzard? (Metaphorically of course) We need more people like them and by acting out in a way to discourage them only makes things worse for everyone including ourselves. I don't so much believe in the spiritual side of karma, but I am a firm believer and to a lesser degree a practitioner of its principles. There might come time when we can truly talk to people and not be a indifferent to everyone without reprocussion.

[@crimsonspade4305]

@@IIIISai I'm not sure it's people being "robot"-ic. I think it's more of people trying not to be invested in the well being of others to avoid what they believe to be unnecessary responsibilities. Unfortunately too many have had that forced on them at an early age so we arm ourselves with indifference and fear of the unknown to compensate for our lack of preparation. It's the lack of concern that is partially to blame for generations of introverts. We all have some preconceived notion of how people should think and act which when we find those who aren't common for how they act and think so we gang up on them. People who suffer from aspergers or those who legitimately suffer from bpd can easily be targeted for hazing instead of being accepted and we don't even stop to consider the reason they are the way they are, either out of fear of being left out or by not being consideredcool becausebeing indifferent has become a trend. So we usually are faced with 2 kinds of adults. Ones that avoid everyone else and those that are considered social but they're minds never left high school. I hope at some point we can all just do away with false notions of normality and just allow people to be people without worrying about they're taste in trivial things like clothes, music, entertainment, etc so we can start focusing on what's more important. Such as how we can make life more livable even for people of lower class. Or those who was raised in unorthodox environments. PS: please forgive my rambling.

[@ThePsychicClarinetist]

Julien, you are so authentic. I've only seen two videos of yours so far, but they always resonate and always get to the heart of the issue at hand. I also think another problem some people go through (myself included) is that we hold onto those who don't value our true selves or play power games (The +1/-1 you mentioned) because we love them and feel we deserve them. My parents claim to be emotionally available, but then my father especially will scoff when I express myself or be my true self, and many others I've been stuck around in life (school peers) are like that too. Our people-pleasing natures arise from survival tactics because we know those around us don't truly value who we are. It's time to overcome that for better or for worse, because holding back our true selves only hurts us more. Thank you for your wisdom and authenticity! 🧡

I say “good” not because I’m scared, but because I don’t want to talk or converse with someone. I either am not in the mood or I don’t feel comfortable enough to talk with them about personal things. I am a private person. So it’s sort of intentional and by choice to not let people know all my details. I have problems with boundaries and usually people, the more they know the more they do try to manipulate me. Haha yes it’s like “good” (now go away please please !!!) and all that pressure and tension is gone from me to feel like I need to talk about certain subjects.

This is something i have been struggling with for decades. I have a few tips. People pleasing at its worst is a childhood trauma response. Next time you with someone mentally invite who you were at 6 or 7 years old into the room. And ask yourself if you'd treat them with such a paternalistic attitude. A social interaction can be a dissociated state. You basically go into auto-mode. Maybe have a checklist or reminder to prompt yourself. It also worth noting adults are not children, we get an ego boost out of 'taking care of someone'. Finally, even if you can't complete change this aspect of yourself. Just avoid toxic manipulators & narssistic people. It's not just that they are happily taking your resources from you but youre missing out on meeting worthwhile people. I have to admit i will probably still buy someone a drink if i'm depressed or lonely. I see it as a form of therapy. But i don't fool myself into thinking there is a real friendship there. I like the Gandalf the white metaphor. There's that dark wizard /belief/ trauma or nonsense sucking our life force. We have to expell that bastaed from our minds thousands and thousands of times until it becomes an automated response

[@me.shyann]

Yess I agree.. it’s like a child like innocence. The personality you had as a kid is now gone, because we care what ppl think. growing up we realize that. if we tap into this mindset and get away from our negative/ trauma trigger then we can totally be free!

They didn't want a real response they wanted to be polite and start talking to you but they needed 15 seconds to think of an interesting question to ask.

You're right, there's so much of that accumulated leftover muk that distorts our identity. I think about it as every experience is like reforging but the mistakes lie in forgetting to clean up properly, and then each future experience is distorted by that negligence. Its not an easy thing to break down years of that if there's this sunk cost fallacy protecting it or a fear of realizing the identity as flawed.

[@ebenmaiopue4253]

I finally understand what Julien's message is. it's about being yourself. You can't be bettter than yourself. You can't be cooler than youreslf. You are cool. You can't let the world dictact who you really are. Letting go is one of the hardest truths ever. Now I have to apply it

[@mario125ww]

Sometimes you need to socially calibrate and understand the social cues to ease people in. Other times it's them. Ask yourself if you are hanging with people who naturally get me or do I have to explain me to them. My advice would to find your lane and it's ok if it takes time

[@alex_4trth]

If you are “trying so hard to be authentic”, is it authentic or are you still in an internal struggle? I ask this question fully admitting I’m still inauthentic so it’s also a question to myself I guess. Also what makes more friends, lying or being honest? Would you rather be lied to?

[@stoiccrane4259]

Better to be friendless and authentic than put on an act and be surrounded by a myriad of strangers. Friendship is how you define it and if people don't gravitate to the natural you they weren't compatible with you to begin with.

True, I’m such a people pleaser i can’t stop.. starting to worry about my mental health because of it

[@Kazanko28]

Recently my wife and I had a huge clash with her parents over decisions we made/have been making. Some of those things were us not going to church regularly, and drinking from time to time. They found out about this and lost their minds. We've been married 9 years and for 7 or 8 of those years we wouldn't do/or did so much stuff because of fear of disapproval from her parents. When all of the arguing was going on I held my tongue throughout a lot of things being said to me that was honestly way uncalled for, but I held my tongue because I'm a people pleaser, and a peace keeper, and overall a "nice" guy. It took all of that for me to realize that those ways of being are not always a good thing, and maybe you could argue, never are a good thing. I betrayed myself in order to settle things down. Fast forward to now, we are doing what we want to do, when we want to do it, and aren't apologizing for it. When something is bullshit, its bullshit, and needs to be called for what it is. Don't let other people keep you from living your life because your to nice to look them in the eye and say "you know what? No."

"Not great actually" then if they want to they can ask followup questions like "Oh no why what happened?" Or whatever and THEN you explain why. And if they don't give a shit then they'll be lile "Oh too bad" *akward silence* and you move on to talk about the weather or whatever.
