Shadowing-Übung: How to never feel embarrassed again - Englisch Sprechen Lernen mit Video

Is embarrassment holding you back in life?

Are you constantly ashamed of doing anything and you're constantly afraid of other people's opinion so you don't really get anything done?

Honey, that is the biggest prison you can live in.

You see, the way I grew up was ever since I was young, I was told to care about my reputation, care about my family's reputation

and it was so indoctrinated into my minds and into the minds of my siblings to always act a certain way

and never shame the family because otherwise you would be offed.

At some point, I started getting tired of it and I realized

that I cannot achieve anything in life if I am going to follow this mindset.

So I completely changed my life around when I stopped feeling embarrassed for anything.

And in this video, I will show you how you can do the same.

Before we get into the video, I would like to mention that this video is sponsored by BetterHelp.

BetterHelp is an online therapy platform that can easily connect you with a licensed therapist

that can help you with any issue you might be facing.

BetterHelp also has a network of over 30,000 therapists, so you can easily find a therapist that is the right match for you.

However, if the therapist that you found is not the right match, BetterHelp allows you to switch therapists with no additional charge.

This means that you save a lot of time and a lot of money.

The most beneficial thing is that it's online because

if you cannot find a therapist in your area or you have like really struggled just finding a therapist in general,

you can literally look online and you have so many options i love

that also if you don't want to leave your house

and stuff that's like

so comfortable out of your couch out of your bedroom you can just chat with your therapist

so to get started you fill out a questionnaire to help assess your specific wants and needs

and then you get matched to therapists in as little as

a few days you can choose to have a video message

or phone based session whatever you are most comfortable with

but it also gives you 10% off your first month at better help hi guys my name is this

and welcome back to my channel okay let's get into it first things first realize

that shame and embarrassment is not your natural state why do i say this

and we are born as babies we are not born with

shame we are not born embarrassment we don't know what

that is a baby is just authentically themselves a child is

as well until the parents starts to indoctrinate them with their own belief system

that they have been taught from their own parents you know it goes on for generations generations

so they put these belief systems that are toxic onto their own children

so the child starts to think like oh my god

if i do this that's going to be embarrassing oh my god

if i do this then that's going to be embarrassing okay this is how i have to act in society

because this is what is accepted so the child basically starts to believe

that if i do it this way then i'll be accepted

but it starts to neglect its authentic self now

when this happens the child becomes very insecure

and what happens later on is you have an insecure adult

because any issue

that an adult has comes from their childhood you want to fix the adult go back to their childhood

so what you need to realize then is okay i wasn't

born with shame i was not born with embarrassment i was

born with authentically being myself my parents put these limiting beliefs onto me

and then you have to ask yourself now what do i believe what do i stand for

and i'm not seeing like things that are bad

or go do criminal activities but i mean if you're doing something that doesn't harm anyone and makes you happy, then who is anyone to say that you shouldn't be doing that?

Another thing is forgive yourself for your past mistakes.

A lot of people still carry shame from the past.

You might have done something in the past

that either you did like to yourself and it was very bad

or you did to someone else and you hurt them and it was very bad.

Now you might have evolved from that.

You learned your mistake and you never repeat it again and you were truly remorseful, okay?

You changed and it's okay to acknowledge that you have changed.

It's okay to say I'm not that person anymore.

I don't align with the person that I was years before, you know?

If you're constantly gonna blame yourself for what happened in the past and constantly feel like, I don't deserve a good life because I did this in the past,

then you're self-sabotaging yourself.

Honey, sometimes we have to move on.

You cannot keep looking there and expect a bright future to come because you're stuck in the past.

And the past doesn't exist anymore.

There's nothing you can do right now and change the mistake you made.

There's nothing you can do and change what happened to you.

The only thing you can do right now is look in front of you, look in the present and see, okay, what do I have now?

What can I create now with what I have?

How do I move forward?

And also realize that at some point you have to let your brain move on

because a lot of you guys you guys are constantly replaying past mistakes past traumas all these things

and what happens is your body and brain constantly believes you're in the same state

so what happens is you're constantly still depressed you never feel different than you felt before

and you know why i realized this i was doing the same thing

so constantly i was trying to heal all my traumas i've

healed the big traumas then i was working on any trauma there's left

but what happened then is i was constantly still depressed why

because my brain believes that i'm still in a traumatic state

because anytime there is a trauma that comes up i'm hyper focused on it

and i'm triggered by instead of letting it slide

and be like okay you can go now this is the past

and not fighting it i would hyper fixate on it and

because of that i was constantly still depressed no matter even

if i was out of the situation i'm still depressed you

had heartbreak right at some point you need to let go of

that sadness from it why because the brain when it constantly feels

that sadness it thinks the situation is all happening over

and over and over again if you constantly feel embarrassed for something the brain thinks

that you're doing something embarrassing over and over again so

that is what you will constantly feel you will cause the fear inside of yourself and you're never able to move on.

And also own your mistakes.

Own whatever you did.

Say, okay, I did it.

If someone brings it up to you and say, oh, you used to be like this.

100

Oh, you did this.

101

Remember, remember?

102

Say, yes, I remember.

103

And I changed and I evolved.

104

What now?

105

What do you guys want me to do now?

106

If you are the one that is constantly shaming yourself for the thing that you did, yeah?

107

That's when it becomes embarrassing.

108

But when you own that, when you own what happened and when you own what you're ashamed about, no one can hold it over your head only you have power over

109

that no one can make you feel embarrassed no one can make you feel ashamed

110

when you like what you do when you feel

111

that you're like you know what i'm doing a good thing

112

i like what i'm putting out whether it's artistically whether you're creating something

113

and you're like you know what i love what i put

114

out that's good enough no one can make you feel embarrassed only you can do

115

that to yourself you can allow people to make you feel like

116

that another thing is realize

117

that shame is like living in a prison of other people's

118

minds you are their little puppets they can make you feel

119

anything they can make you feel sad they can make you feel happy like why would you do

120

that have you looked at other people see all the people

121

that are trying to shame you embarrass you put you down why do they want to put you down

122

because they see something in you that you cannot see in yourself

123

but they see it people that are down no one puts them down

124

because they're not a competition but it's always the people

125

that have something there's always the people

126

that have this thing in them whether it's a light

127

or an energy that people want to bring down

128

because they see something in you and once you start to see

129

that thing in yourself you will be incredibly powerful they cannot stop you a person

130

that understands who they are

131

and their power is unstoppable why would you want to live in a prison like

132

that imagine you're 80 years old tomorrow

133

and you realize i've lived my whole life for other people

134

i live my whole life just for other people's opinion do you want to live like

135

that you know how fast we age

136

you know how fast you'll be 80 years old

137

and regret your whole life tomorrow all of these people will die in the end

138

and then what and then what you lived for them

139

but they they aren't even here anymore also the same people

140

that you care so much about about their opinion

141

and you don't want to embarrass yourself in front of them

142

these people are super weird i've never met a person never i've never met someone

143

that is not weird that they have weird like things they have weird behaviors

144

but this is very normal this is very normal this makes us a human being

145

so who are you trying to impress here no one is perfect

146

so you're trying to portray a perfect image to imperfect humans

147

and that makes sense to you the same way people are hypocrites okay the same things

148

that they will judge you for and shame you for is the same thing that they will do behind closed doors.

149

These people are the ones that will be the first one to judge others.

150

Why?

151

Because day in, day out, these people judge themselves.

152

They hate themselves, they're miserable, so they wanna pick on other people so they feel the same way.

153

Don't lower yourself for miserable people.

154

These people are in the dark leave them there also understand people switch sites very quickly okay it's all fun

155

and games and everyone laughs in the beginning they'll laugh at you

156

when i was starting at my social media everyone was laughing at me

157

because it was embarrassing

158

and haha i was a joke okay i'm not a joke

159

anymore now it's like oh i used to know her oh my god i people make up stories

160

that they used to know me they switch sites

161

so quickly once they see that someone becomes popular

162

or once they see that other people like them because people are

163

so insecure the only thing they do is follow the crowd

164

are you trying to impress these people these people you're trying

165

to live like whatever for these people you're embarrassed of doing anything just for these people

166

that will tomorrow be by your side once you make it

167

today they're shaming you tomorrow they will say oh i used to know her

168

so just stop trying to be liked in general stop if someone tells you you're smart that doesn't mean you're smart.

169

If someone tells you you're stupid, that doesn't mean you're stupid.

170

Okay.

171

These are all comments from people from their own perception of you.

172

None of it is facts.

173

Okay.

174

Someone can tell you you're smart, but for someone else, you're the most stupid person on earth.

175

Same way.

176

Not everyone will find you pretty.

177

Not everyone will find you funny or like a fun person or someone to look up to.

178

They will not.

179

And is that wrong?

180

No.

181

Because people come from different cultures people come from different backgrounds

182

they have a different like beauty standard all these things you cannot fit in everywhere

183

and start to be okay with

184

that not everyone will like you in life once you are just

185

so okay with being disliked no one can take that from you

186

if like for me for example

187

if someone tells me like oh i don't like your content

188

okay oh i don't think you're beautiful okay oh i don't think you're shy okay that's what you think

189

is that fact no but that's what you think

190

and you're entitled to your opinion

191

but i don't care about your opinion you see also understand how listening to other people's opinions

192

and whatever they think is true when you start to do

193

that on a regular basis you will stop trusting yourself

194

when you don't trust yourself you become very very insecure what

195

happens is imagine you have to make a decision right

196

because you feel like you don't you are not capable of

197

making decisions on your own you'll constantly consult other people you ask them what you should do

198

so you're living according to their opinion so when something happens and you have to decide for yourself

199

you'll be like oh no i can't decide for myself you're like a child you're like i can't

200

because i don't know i don't know what's best for me

201

but you do you do these people don't these people will

202

never be in your shoes these people don't know what it's like to be you

203

so who are you listening to people

204

that can only give outside opinion you should be able to listen to what comes in

205

and out and you should be observing it okay

206

but then still make your own decision and still say i am the one

207

that i trust i am the one

208

that i go to to make the final decision

209

and no one else i'm the kind of person i will consult people

210

when i'm making a decision but at the end i will always do what i wants

211

and everyone knows this and sometimes i make mistakes

212

but you know what i made the decision to make

213

that mistake so at the end i'm still confident in myself

214

because whether it went wrong or whether it went right liz made the decision

215

and not other people

216

because their opinions are not more important than mine their voice is not more important than mine also understand

217

that you deserve whatever blessing you have or whatever blessing you want.

218

Okay.

219

God didn't put you on earth to struggle.

220

I want you to stop believing this.

221

This is the most, the biggest lie I've seen people tell each other that, oh, we're meant to struggle.

222

No, struggle is not cool.

223

Not in relationship, not in friendship, not in work.

224

It's not meant to be a struggle.

225

If you need to struggle to keep something together, like a relationship, friendship, or a job, then it's not for you.

226

Something that is for you, you will not need to be struggling for it You will

227

not need to be desperate for it It will align with you

228

And it will come in the highest way When you need to struggle, it's a sign it's not for you And you're holding on to something that you need to let go of.

229

When you put those limitations on yourself or you're shaming yourself for wanting a better life or something bigger or whatever, you will not achieve that thing.

230

Because at the end of the day, even though you want it, you're still telling yourself that what you want is a bad thing.

231

But who told you it's a bad thing?

232

Who told you?

233

Because people always say like, oh, if you want more, like more luxuries in your life, you're a vain person.

234

No, maybe some people genuinely like luxuries maybe they like living the

235

big life why do you care some people genuinely don't want

236

that some people want a simple life and

237

that that's also good right why do you judge the one

238

but not the other whatever you want whatever good you want you deserve it just

239

because you're alive just because you're on this earth

240

and you can create the most beautiful life for yourself you don't have to listen to people

241

that say like oh no you're supposed to suffer no no no you're supposed to suffer take

242

that all that suffering on this earth

243

and put it onto you okay you have that miserable life but

244

when i'm 80 tomorrow honey i have my best life i

245

know this for sure liz lived her best life also realize

246

that shame is a fearful emotion and it keeps you stuck see the people

247

that have no embarrassment

248

and have no shame they get the furthest in life you

249

can see them online a lot of people online are making

250

so much money and a lot of people are laughing at them

251

but they're also laughing from their mansions at you guys

252

so who has the last laugh

253

because at the end of the day they're still creating their

254

stuff they're still putting it out there yeah you find it funny

255

but they don't have a lot of financial issues anymore

256

and they're the one getting financially blessed

257

because they're not afraid to be themselves online

258

when you constantly have this like oh this is not good enough oh this will be embarrassing oh this

259

and that yeah you will not create anything you will not do anything in your life

260

and you will live a whole life wasted thinking about like, oh my God, people would find this embarrassing.

261

It's embarrassing to be old and have a life lived for other people.

262

Last but not least, I want you to realize that you are good enough now.

263

You are good enough now who you are with what you have.

264

And that's what you have to do.

265

Right now, you have to like be who you are, take what you have and create what you can.

266

Don't look at, oh my God, I used to, oh my God, i am going to what do you have now what can

267

we do now with what you have okay well what can

268

we create what are you good at what do you love

269

to do what do you want to improve i used to have this mentality of like oh

270

if i do this and if i'm at

271

that state then i will start and then i will do it

272

and i was constantly seeking a perfection that will never be there

273

because like i said people might look at you someone might

274

say oh this is perfect another person might say this is bullshit

275

and both are not wrong you know it's their opinion

276

so you can never reach that perfection so for example

277

if I hadn't started three years ago with my youtube channel I would not be where I'm at right now

278

which is I have much more wisdom by things I read

279

much more I also learned these things whilst I was going you know

280

but imagine I had never uploaded my first video three years

281

ago I would not be in this position imagine I was scared of people

282

or I was scared because all my family this and

283

that no this was beneficial for everyone at the end okay

284

and i took that risk because i believed in myself

285

when no one believed in me i believed in myself

286

and i refused to give up on myself

287

and you should do the same thing other people will never

288

show up for you like you have to show up for

289

yourself you know one day it's gonna be you like

290

when you're sick or whatever or like you don't look good anymore

291

or whatever like a lot of people will leave your life

292

because they cannot benefit from you anymore

293

but who has to stay with you you you're the only one you will always have in the end

294

and that's the one you're neglecting for people

295

that will leave your life tomorrow

296

if you can't benefit them never ever dim your lights for people

297

that enjoy being in the darkness anyways guys thank you

298

299

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
