Lektion wird erstellt...
1
My name's Shawna and I say I have trained myself to be very good with conversation despite having social anxiety.
2
You wanna know how I got here?
3
Hello everyone!
4
Welcome to the channel!
5
If you're new, if you're not, if you're a member of Shaw Nation, damn me up real quick.
6
Actually, let's do a better one.
7
Yeah!
8
That's how it's done.
9
I'm telling you.
10
Today, We're gonna have a sit down.
11
We're gonna have a real ass talk about struggling with conversation today because guess what bitch?
12
I know how it feels.
13
I am such a...
14
I'd like to say at least I am such a smooth talker.
15
Like I've been really good with conversation these past few years.
16
But like people get shocked when I tell them I have anxiety.
17
I really used to be afraid of people, especially like groups of people.
18
Ugh, it really sucks hanging out in groups of people
19
when you don't know how to talk in the first place
20
because then you just feel ignored the whole time and you go home feeling sad.
21
I wanted to fix that.
22
So I did and it's a huge flex and I'm really proud of myself for it.
23
So let's talk about that.
24
Hashtag Good Mythical Morning.
25
You got gay cool people?
26
When I think of myself as a socially anxious person, I imagine myself as a little 14 year old.
27
Little 14 year old Shauna girl.
28
I was severely alone, like in real life.
29
I did not have a lot of friends at that age at all.
30
Um, but I did have a lot of online friends.
31
I bring up online friendships, not in a bad way.
32
But I will say they really conditioned me to only be able to talk or type.
33
Behind your screen.
34
Never had any face to face practice. Or contact.
35
Besides school, but I would skip every fucking day, so whatever.
36
When I was face to face with someone, I would let them take the wheel completely.
37
I would hope to God they knew what to say.
38
Cause if they didn't, I wasn't gonna break the ice.
39
I didn't know how, that's too scary.
40
And then there's gonna be an awkward silence.
41
And it's gonna get awkward, and I'm gonna get scared because I feel embarrassed and I don't know what to do.
42
And then I'm gonna go home.
43
and feel really stupid and small.
44
And group settings didn't help either because like I said, I would just let others take control of the conversation.
45
I would never add anything myself and that would kind of make me feel like I was excluded from the group.
46
But yeah, and then I'd go home and I'd feel stupid again for not contributing to the group.
47
I cannot keep doing this.
48
And the worst part was when I wanted to talk so bad, but I was already so embarrassed that I haven't been talking that I literally like couldn't talk.
49
Like it feels like it My throat was closing up.
50
It's like the same feeling like
51
when you get choked up before you start crying except I wasn't gonna cry I was just
52
so fucking stressed cuz I didn't know what to say
53
if you know you know because I know and I'm so sorry and I'm here to help you today
54
Hopefully I hope you take a few notes.
55
So get out a pen and paper and let mama take the wheel Okay, my first piece of advice tip one if you're feeling like choked up like that if you get that way
56
such fucking like, just go outside advice.
57
But please believe me, it helps.
58
Deep breathing.
59
I know when people say just breathe, like you kinda get mad and you're like, I am breathing, but please breathe.
60
I know you're probably getting, I gotta fucking breathe.
61
I'm getting it worked up.
62
The fuck?
63
Just like slow your breathing for a moment and really just like think about what you want to say.
64
Like just think.
65
What's on your mind?
66
It could be on topic or off topic.
67
Just feel out the vibe.
68
I'm not saying sit there like you Like waiting the dog, but like you know just sit there like I This is true.
69
I don't know just breathe bitch.
70
So when you're in a state You got your little breaths in.
71
You actually like feel calm enough to start talking.
72
The moment that hits... In the middle of
73
that exhale start talking whatever you got to say whatever you
74
want to say just whatever you're thinking of just start talking don't hesitate
75
if you Stutter keep going if you get embarrassed
76
if you fucking cough weird you got clear throat who cares
77
keep talking girl It's like taking a shot of vodka like I and then you drink.
78
Except you exhale and then you just start talking.
79
Really though, like, exhaling and then talking, like, and just not thinking.
80
Just think about the exhale rather than what's coming out of your mouth, honestly.
81
Girl, talk to strangers!
82
That's the second tip!
83
Talk to a fucking stranger.
84
Say hi to a bitch!
85
Put yourself out there!
86
Like, this is the number one way I have built up, like, my confidence.
87
This is probably the most valuable tip I'm gonna give you, so listen up.
88
Yes, talking to strangers!
89
Like, friends are fun, and, like, good practice, and nice to see of course, but, like, talking to strangers, that's where you're gonna get better at phone calls, that's where you're gonna get better at public speaking.
90
If you do that, I don't, but, like...
91
I mean, I kinda do.
92
speaking from the privacy of my own home it is talking
93
to strangers is legit like the best exposure therapy like tip I can give you for talking to strangers for
94
Conversation in general.
95
It's all about exposure therapy girl It's all about practice practice makes perfect
96
and the best part is even if it turns sour girl it's a stranger oh Bye -bye.
97
I never got to see you again.
98
It's not that deep.
99
Don't get that like caught up over it.
100
If it turns sour just let go move on girl It's kind of hard
101
when you're so fucking shy and anxious
102
that like the slightest fucking leave me alone will send you into I'm sorry mode
103
but you gotta learn to just let it go a good way to start like I putting yourself out there
104
and like talking to people more is start by like asking questions Like, do you know the way to this street? Or...
105
do you know what time the bus comes?
106
Fucking how are you?
107
Literally, like, if someone is like standing next to you, bus stop or something, What's up?
108
You know, how are you?
109
We - we up to.
110
That can go so far and like that bitch might be the same as you girl trying to talk to people.
111
Anyone.
112
That can make someone's fucking day.
113
And it can make your day too if it sparks something up.
114
It could be a real touching fucking convo at the end of the day.
115
And after a while you'll start getting more comfortable with asking more like friendly or like Not personal, but like, can I bum a cigarette?
116
Where do you shop at?
117
Like your clothes are cute.
118
Where do you shop at?
119
Apply the same principles as the deep breathing tip to this tip.
120
Like don't think too hard, just talk.
121
You cannot care too much about what comes out of your mouth
122
or else you will hesitate and you'll zip your fucking lips.
123
I mean like of course think about how the other person feels, like feel out the vibe, but like at the same time like just talk to someone bro.
124
Say what is on your mind.
125
Like, be real!
126
If you're thinking it, say it.
127
Tell us your truth.
128
Talk about the goddamn weather if you want.
129
Like, who cares if it's been said?
130
If it's a gorgeous day?
131
Pretty nice out, isn't it?
132
Yeah, it is.
133
Like, it's that fucking simple.
134
And even if it just stops there, you got your practicing, girl.
135
And I will say, like, training your mouth to go with the same speed as your thoughts, it can get you a little bit too chatty sometimes,
136
especially if you have ADHD like me.
137
Whenever that happens, I'll give you a good comment.
138
Conversation starter tip too.
139
I just go sorry.
140
I'm like talking too fast.
141
I have ADHD.
142
Oh Sorry I'm off topic, I got ADHD bro.
143
You know the number one response I get every single time I say that?
144
Me too.
145
Everyone got fucking ADHD bro.
146
Like everyone and boom that's another fucking thing to talk about right there.
147
Just like learn to snowball your conversation.
148
Topic after topic into a big beautiful snowman.
149
Does that make sense?
150
I don't know, but you know what I mean?
151
And give out compliments!
152
Don't be a pussy!
153
Compliment come on.
154
I'm turning red in the face.
155
That's a totally passionate.
156
I have a given compliments and be kind I've given out
157
so many compliments I'm to the point where
158
if I don't give someone a compliment like
159
if I hesitate I will feel guilty and and sorry the entire fucking day, dude.
160
Make someone's day, be there for someone.
161
It'll make you feel so good.
162
And if the person has kind of like a, thanks, Reaction?
163
Let go.
164
Think about the positive, like, experiences when that negative shit happens.
165
Like, that's happened to me before, but I still give out compliments
166
because I think of the people whose faces light the fuck up when I give them a compliment.
167
And they're like, "Thank you !" and they compliment me back.
168
And it's everything.
169
Like, doesn't that feel so good?
170
Be like Judy Jupiter.
171
Give - make him do a 360 spin when you see a diva on the block.
172
Okay?
173
Yes.
174
I wanted to make this video
175
because I've gotten a lot of comments from subscribers being like I'd love to be you
176
or like I want to do YouTube I could never start a channel.
177
It's always I could never do
178
that I could never me neither till I started one like I could never have
179

185
like anything else in this world you have to want to
186
talk to people to talk to people to be good at talking to them you got to want to talk
187

190

Grammatik in diesem Video
Die Strukturen, die der Sprecher am häufigsten verwendet, mit den genauen Worten aus dem Video:
| Struktur | Im Video |
|---|---|
| Present Perfect have/has + Partizip Perfekt – eine vergangene Handlung, die jetzt noch wichtig ist | have trained · I've been · have built |
| Passiv be + Partizip Perfekt – wichtig ist, was geschieht, nicht wer es tut | was excluded · been said · will be rewarded |
Aussprache, auf die du achten solltest
Der Sprecher verwendet 105 Kurzformen und abgeschwächte Formen, zum Beispiel I'm, you're, gonna. Sprich sie in der kurzen Form, so wie du sie hörst.
- Die „th“-Laute: thrive /θɹajv/, cloth /klɒθ/
- Die Laute „sh“ und „zh“: socially /ˈsoʊʃəli/, passionate /ˈpæʃənɪt/, anxious /ˈæŋkʃəs/, hashtag /ˈhæʃˌtæɡ/
Laute, die Deutschsprachigen schwerfallen:
- /w/ — mit runden Lippen, nicht wie das deutsche „w“ (/v/): anyways /ˈɛn.iˌweɪz/, sweat /swɛt/

So übst du mit diesem Video

- Beginne mit 0,75-facher Geschwindigkeit, sprich Satz für Satz nach und wechsle zur normalen Geschwindigkeit, sobald es leichtfällt.
- Nimm dich auf und vergleiche mit dem Original; achte dabei auf Wörter wie compliment, exhale, privilege.
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.
