Shadowing Practice: How to deal with haters - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creando lección...
1
I've been asked a few times for advice on dealing with haters and honestly,
2
I don't know if I have any advice because the way I see it,
3
haters are secretly your biggest supporters.
4
And I've seen way too many examples of women
5
or just people in general who were very publicly hated
6
or at least had a period where they underwent some heat and because they didn't allow it to cancel them,
7
it actually worked in their favor.
8
Let's unpack that so that instead of quote-unquote dealing with haters,
9
you can leverage them to your advantage.
10
Welcome back to the Iggar playbook.
11
Today, we will be exploring the upside of haters and the power of hate.
12
Before we do so, we need to first understand the psychology of hate.
13
If we were to analyze hate as an emotion,
14
we can categorize it as a strong emotion,
15
which also means strong attention.
16
And in today's day and age, attention is currency.
17
People who quote unquote hate you,
18
they often spread your name even more than fans,
19
and in doing so, they amplify your name,
20
your reach, and therefore, your influence,
21
whether they mean to or not.
22
And there's several reasons and psychology as to why and how negative attention often travels faster and sticks longer than positive attention,
23
one of that being the negativity bias.
24
Our brains, they're wired to notice and react to negative events more strongly than positive ones.
25
From an evolutionary standpoint, we used to pay more attention to threats like danger,
26
betrayal, or loss because they helped us survive,
27
which is why even today,
28
bad news feel more urgent and more impactful than good news.
29
This is the same reason why many of us find ourselves focusing on
30
that one mean comment rather than the 10 good ones or the 10 compliments that we receive.
31
It feels more threatening and therefore more urgent.
32
The second reason is the relationship between emotional intensity and virality.
33
They say that people can forget what you say,
34
but they will always remember how you make them feel.
35
That is the power of emotions,
36
but not all emotions are created equal.
37
Strong emotions like anger, disgust,
38
and shock are more likely to be shared
39
because these are high arousal emotions that create energy
40
which encourages people to do something about it and to take action like sharing it,
41
talking about it, venting about it a lot more than respective positive emotions like being content
42
because when you're content even though it's a positive emotion it doesn't build up as much energy.
43
And as a result, it doesn't encourage as much action.
44
There's also social value when outrage is used as social bonding.
45
Sharing a collective outrage makes people feel connected to a community,
46
almost like being part of a team.
47
I think it was last month where there was this antipasto lady drama that was going on,
48
and I think that is a perfect example of this.
49
There was a woman who got invited to a neighborhood party
50
or gathering and she brought an antipasto salad with expensive meat that she brought from the store,
51
homemade mozzarella, and homegrown tomatoes because she wanted to make a good impression.
52
But the host wasn't very welcoming and so she left crying
53
and feeling very embarrassed and it seemed like this issue united the entire internet.
54
Sometimes it is about the issue but there's also social value
55
and it feels rewarding to be quote-unquote in on the outrage
56
because there is a sense of belonging and a feeling of community.
57
When you combine our negativity bias,
58
the emotional intensity of hate,
59
and the social value of outrage as social bonding, something interesting happens.
60
Any attempts to suppress or quote-unquote cancel something or someone,
61
it actually makes the issue at hand explode even more.
62
This is called the Streisand effect.
63
The harder people try to silence controversy,
64
the more attention it gets,
65
and the wider it spreads.
66
It actually came from the very real life example of Barbara Streisand who tried to suppress aerial photos of her Malibu home,
67
and before she sued, the photos had only been downloaded a handful of times.
68
But after the lawsuit went public,
69
tens and thousands of people downloaded the photos.
70
And so, you see how the attempts to silence or cancel something,
71
it often gives it more visibility.
72
The harder people push back,
73
the more powerful the message becomes.
74
These examples and explanations all highlight the fascinating psychological pattern of how
75
and why negative attention often spreads faster and sticks longer than positive attention.
76
And so now that you understand the psychology of this,
77
Why is it relevant?
78
Which leads us to the next section, the economics of hate.
79
In The Wolf of Wall Street,
80
there is that infamous saying that there is no such thing as bad publicity.
81
And that pretty much explains the economics of hate.
82
If you're familiar with Rebecca Black's song Friday,
83
you're probably aware of how many people say,
84
how much they hate it,
85
how cringe it is, and how bad the song is.
86
Yet, it has over 175 million views.
87
That is quite impressive for a song that everyone claims they hate.
88
And those who can tolerate the comments,
89
the hate, and the remarks understand the power of hate and its profitability.
90
Let's take a look at a few examples.
91
And one of the most recent ones is none other than Sydney Sweeney and her American Eagle campaign.
92
For background, she did an ad that sparked a lot of controversy online
93
because people thought the ads were too suggestive for a teen-focused brand
94
and on top of that people thought the message was also suggestive with the play on words
95
when she said my jeans are better than yours there was a ton of backlash
96
that drew debates created a lot of articles
97
and overall a lot of attention those jeans sold out
98
and american eagle made millions of dollars in revenue there is also that example with Michaela Nogueira and the L'Oreal scandal.
99
Michaela is a beauty influencer who didn't add for a mascara
100
and the TikTok blew up with accusations of her being not honest,
101
saying that she tried to fake the results of the mascara with false eyelashes.
102
There were tons of people making duets and breakdowns of her video,
103
literally analyzing it frame by frame,
104
zooming in and out, and she got a ton of pee for it.
105
But what exactly happened to the mascara?
106
It sold out literally everywhere and L'Oreal made tons and tons of money.
107
Kanye West is also a great example of someone who is always doing or saying something controversial and quite ridiculous.
108
A lot of people hate him,
109
saying he is arrogant, crazy,
110
etc. But we also cannot deny that he is famous and he has made his fair share of fortunes from it.
111
For business, understanding the power of hate and leveraging it means sales and literal profits,
112
but for artists, it can mean streams.
113
For celebrities, it can mean fame,
114
but for you, it can be whatever works in your favor.
115
Hate generates attention.
116
Attention drives visibility, and visibility can translate into very real-world and real-life gains.
117
Your haters, whether they mean to or not,
118
are amplifying your brand and your name for free.
119
Of course, not all hate is equal, nuance matters.
120
If the hate destroys trust and there is actual harm involved,
121
then of course it can create actual damage.
122
But if it's controversy, opinions,
123
or personality driven, or even success driven,
124
don't be afraid to lean into it.
125
And it definitely isn't the end of the world.
126
We've all seen this with Shira Seven.
127
She has plenty of people who hate her,
128
call her a narcissist, a gold digger,
129
and many other colorful terms.
130
And what does she do?
131
She stays true to what she preaches and she leans into it.
132
And even published books called I Bring Nothing to the Table and How to Avoid Dust.
133
This is genuinely what she believes and what she preaches.
134
It's not necessarily hurting anyone, it's just controversial.
135
When people started clipping her on TikTok,
136
she received her fair share of heat,
137
but her channel is growing and I'm sure her success and her money is growing as well.
138
And so let's tie all of this back to you and how to turn hate into power.
139
Because here's the truth, hate is inevitable when you're not really doing anything wrong and especially when you're doing something right.
140
But instead of fearing it,
141
you can recognize it for what it is.
142
Proof that you're visible, you're memorable,
143
and you're making some sort of impact.
144
I'm not saying that you should go out of your way to attract hate,
145
but what I am saying is that if you come across someone who you would categorize as a hater,
146
I hope that this episode can provide a different perspective.
147
A lot of people abandon their goals or their dreams the second someone makes a comment,
148
but the way I see it,
149
the moment people start quote-unquote hating,
150
it should be a sign that you're heading in the right direction.
151
And so if anything, whatever it is that you're doing, keep going.
152
The only way for no one to even notice you,
153
let alone talk about you or hate you,
154
is if you're doing nothing and you have nothing going on in life.
155
And so the power lies in how you choose to respond.
156
This is one thing that Trisha Paytas has said that I find so incredibly valuable.
157
She said that nobody can cancel you if you cancel yourself first.
158
And my takeaway from that is that you cannot control hate,
159
but you can control whether or not you let it cancel you,
160
your goals, and your dreams.
161
And not only this, you can use it to your advantage.
162
And so with all of that said,
163
I hope that this answers that question on how to deal with haters.
164
Haters are inevitable, especially if you plan on doing anything meaningful with your life.
165
You can't avoid the hate,
166
but you can leverage it,
167
which I hope that you do.
168
That's it for today.
169
Thank you for tuning in.

I hope to see you in our next episode and in the meantime,
173

174

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
