Tanguy is the kindest person on the world!! he is always here for you when you need help or when you are sad or whatever. Tanguy makes you smile even when don’t wanna laugh with his bad jokes.. He is so smart and sensitive but he doesn’t wanna show it (he should be proud of these 2 qualities). He is more preoccupied by the happiness of their friends than his happiness :((

We can spend like 8h with him and it seems you spend 1h with him bc time flies so quickly

He should have more confidence of himself!!!!!!
Everyone should have a Tanguy in their life!!

Tanguy deserve to be happy for the rest of his life <33 (and rich because he will succeed ofc)
Tanguy is beautiful

Tanguy syndrome 

Tanguy syndrome is an emerging phenomenon across the world that started in Canada back in the the early zips.
It takes its name from a French-speaking film's young male character who spends his days at his parents' tanning, not working at the ripe old age of 28!

The males around the globe are facing now a 'quarter-life crisis' in their late 20s and early 30s because of a dire job market and an economy that flips the young and aspirant the middle-salute: having no work or money to start their own seperate lives, these 'sad gards' return back to their parents' homes and slack away their most productive and exciting years building in the process EFFs or 'extended financial families' (a.k.a. ant-hill families: describes the 'piling' effect of having different generations all living and working in the same house, so much like an ant-farm hill is).
