How to be more accepting
Problem: we are not always willing to listen to and understand the person we are talking to. Some of our attitudes, habits and emotions damage our relationships without us even noticing it. Improving ourselves to enrich our relationships with others is therefore essential. Aims: to become more open to the actions and words of others and to accept differences. FAQs: Can we overcome our prejudices? Why is it so difficult to accept someone who is different from us?Why do we criticise? How should we react to attitudes and comments that we do not understand? Can we change people?“An important part of wisdom and knowledge is to stop trying to change people into what they are not, but to accept what they are and understand what they have gone through.”1 (Fun-Chang, Chinese writer who lived several centuries BC)
For some people, acting with kindness and accepting others without criticising or judging them comes naturally, and they are often admired for this by those around them. For others, societal or familial prejudices have a major influence on their relations with other people and their ability to accept differences that they do not understand. While society is partly responsible for the way we behave with others, the explanation is sometimes more to do with the perception that we have of ourselves. How can we accept others if we cannot accept ourselves? How can we respectfully exchange, defend and share our point of view if we have never managed to assert ourselves? By becoming aware of who we really are, of our convictions, of the qualities and faults which make us who we are and of the goals which push us to move forward, we realise that we are a unique being shaped by our past experiences. Moreover, we realise that the same is true of everyone.
In 50 minutes, you will discover the reasons that prevent you from accepting others as they are, learn to expand your horizons and put methods and tips into practice to live and share with others in harmony.

Where does this inflexibility towards others come from?
A predetermined relationship with others
Others and you
Since the dawn of time, human beings have evolved within societies made up of other members and relied on our links with those around us to exist and ensure the survival of the species. Social interaction, through exchange and communication, is generally an essential part of growing up, because family, friends, colleagues and even strangers are an endless source of cultural enrichment. As a result, tolerating differences and accepting others is just as vital to the prosperity of us all.
We all have greater or lesser expectations and demands based on the importance and the place of the people in our social circle. We label them – family, friends, colleagues, acquaintances, etc. – and expect them to behave according to their status. Sometimes, we expect too much from others or we get carried away by the megalomaniacal desire to leave our mark on others so we know that we exist and are important to them.
As we are all different, the person before us sometimes completely contradicts some of the things we value. But the way we look at and judge others can also be influenced by our environment, whether familial or cultural.
