« ALEXANDRE When a child tries to flourish in an environment where he is constantly devalued (often unintentionally), he will internalize this projection and assimilate the remarks he has heard. Many of us risked losing all spontaneous confidence in life. In this regard, recent studies have claimed that the first words spoken at the birth of a newborn have an unsuspected influence on its development. Hegel has put a lot of emphasis on the problem of the gaze of others. He sees in the meeting of the other a way to rise, to grow, to become fully human... Sartre describes throughout his work, notably in his famous play "Eight Closed", our visceral and profound need to feel recognized, a need never satisfied. SOCRATE The look of others, in my opinion, builds, structures our personality. However, it can also harm, condemn, hurt. »
