- 9:57The Superpower of Your Worst Personality Trait | Clara Naoum | TEDxAIS Ajaltoun YouthIn "The Superpower of Your Worst Personality Trait," Clara challenges the idea that we need to constantly "fix" ourselves. Instead, she reveals how traits like stubbornness, anxiety, or impulsivity — the very things we’re often told are problems — can actually be our hidden superpowers.This talk is for anyone who's ever felt like they didn’t fit the mold. Come discover how embracing your "too much" could be the key to unlocking your full potential. I’m giving this talk because, for years, I thought my worst personality trait was something to fix until I realized it was my secret weapon. We spend so much time trying to “improve” ourselves that we miss the superpowers hiding in our so-called flaws. This talk is for anyone who’s ever been told they’re “too much” of something too stubborn, too anxious, too impulsive. What if that thing wasn’t a weakness but the key to your greatest strength? By the end of this talk, you’ll not only see yourself differently but also walk away with a new way to harness what you thought was holding you back."

- 12:13Why We Long for the Opposite | Yara Daccache | TEDxAIS Ajaltoun YouthWhy do we always crave what we don't have? Whether it's the clothes we wear, the friends we choose, or the relationships we build — we often find ourselves drawn to the opposite of what we are or what we own.In her TEDxAIS talk, Yara Daccache explores the psychology behind this phenomenon, diving into why “opposites attract” and how this craving for contrast shapes our decisions and identities. Backed by well-known experiments — and maybe even one of her own — this is a talk that will make you rethink your everyday choices.Stay tuned. Opposites might just make perfect sense. As a person I've noticed that everything I get, I always imagine what I would be to have the opposite: it could be about things I buy, bout the specific decisions I've made, the personality of the friends I choose, about relationships. So I decided to choose this topic and talk about the psychological reasons that a person tends to crave the opposite of what they have, or the reasons that they crave for they opposite of who they are (when it comes to social life), including the concept of "opposite attract". so I'll be presenting some known experiments that explains the subject, and I also wanted to include a small stimulation of my own but I still haven't exactly what it will be yet.
