Shadowing Practice: my experience with growing up "ugly" - Learn English Speaking with Video

Hello beautiful people of the internet, this is NoWalkHuman here.

Today we will be doing a different type of video where I sit down

and talk to you guys while I do my makeup.

Yes, the long-awaited makeup tutorial, but it's not exactly a makeup tutorial.

It's more of me yapping about beauty standards, my insecurities, and how I feel being a femme presenting person online

because oh lord people do judge you by your looks

and will pick you apart if you do not look the way

that they deem as feminine pretty beautiful whatever i'm gonna start

out with moisturizer already put my fake hair in yes i wear fake hair um my hair are extensions

but i've mentioned

that many many times as you guys know i put a beauty filter on my videos

and this one will also have it because they still have crippling body dysmorphia.

It's not something that you could fix in a snap of a finger like that.

I turned off DMs on the account that I post my YouTube stuff

because I got a lot of people harassing me and those people

that came from my channel here to there

and then onto the makeup page they found it and they're like wow you're actually chopped.

I can't believe like you've been catfishing everyone this whole entire time

and then i'm just like i've been saying this i've been saying

that i put a beauty filter on my shit

and i've been saying that i got eyelid surgery

and yeah obviously the difference is like night

and day people obviously treat you so different people treat you

so different accordingly to how you fit beauty standards i was always the tan asian kid

and i didn't have good skin i had acne since I was in the fourth grade.

Basically, I ate so much junk food.

I remember I ate like McDonald's like several times a week and I had like Dunkin' Donuts every other day.

That's only because there was a Dunkin' Donuts really close to my house.

And I got really really bad acne and then I just started scratching it all off.

And then I had that habit ever since for like the next few years.

So then my acne never really got better

because I don't know what's wrong with me like i always

fidget a lot as a kid i would like pull off

my hair like i pulled off like like a little semi-circle here

and then i will also scratch my acne off

so then it left a lot of scarring

but it's been a long time since that so

so then my acne scars got better but

if i kept going at it kept picking it at it

for even more years it definitely would have caused irreversible damage

to my skin i remember growing up i always watched a lot of makeup tutorials

especially like james charles jeffree star

and all the og makeup people i always wanted to be like

that because i was like wow like it feels

so fun it seems so fun

and then i just didn't have the features for it i

didn't have big round eyes i didn't have a double eyelid nor did i have like the bone structure

that most western western makeup youtubers had on old youtube

so then i don't really know what to do i just

i just try to learn the 2016 kylie makeup at

that King Kylie makeup but obviously it did not suit my features

and let's fast forward to when I discovered Korean makeup oh lord

that was a whole whole new ballpark

that I was not ready to dive into at the time at

that time I discovered BTS and I was like oh my god wait they're

so pretty and then I realized that they wore makeup too

and then the deeper

that I got into k-pop I was like okay these girls look like me

so then maybe I can look as beautiful as them

so then I tried experimenting with that

that makeup style Korean makeup style oh lord I always look like I had like gochujang on my lips

and when I did the western makeup I literally looked like Donald Trump

because I just like put contour on my jawline

and then it was just straight up orange like no one told me

that my neck was just orange so then I had a lot of makeup mistakes when I was a beginner

and back then we didn't have like tiktok well we had like musically

but then like tiktok was barely even starting out let alone

like xiaohongsu where you could find even more asian makeup as

you guys know kpop beauty standards are by no means easily attainable

so then i was looking at

that beauty standard i was like oh wow i should be able to look like them

if i've used enough products did the right foundation made my skin clear

and da da da da da and it was just like never ending

because i was like oh actually i i needed to have a smaller face

and i also needed bigger eyes oh

so like my monoliths it's not considered beautiful in asia

so then i was like okay now where do i fit between the beauty standards

because i am a mix of the west and the east as well

because i was born there and then came here

and then assimilation i guess

but yeah it's just like it's hard to find the middle ground

and it's like you either have to fit in one category

or the other

and now i i still don't know where i fit i i don't know by any means

but it's okay um i'm just like i'm just the floater

it didn't help that i was like very very socially in-depth adept

and i don't know the right word for it

but just like socially not very well adjusted let's just say

that so then it was even harder to make friends

and there was this girl in freshman year of high school

i remember i was just sitting alone eating my lunch my school lunch

and i was just like pretending to be on my phone

i was like wait no i was just pretending to read a book

because i felt like i couldn't talk to anyone and

that i didn't know what to do

and i just didn't want to look like a loner

so then i was just pretending to read a book

while i eat but i was not paying attention to book at all i hated reading books

but it was like performative i guess

100

because i just didn't want to seem like a fucking loser

101

and i didn't want i don't know i was just

102

so self-conscious of what people thought of me still am

103

but we're working on it we're working on it

104

and then she was also in my japanese class

105

and she was a very very very extroverted kid she could talk to anyone

106

and she was like friends with everyone as well

107

and then she sat like on the other edge of the table as me

108

and then with her friends

109

and then she like just walked over to me i was just like like do you hate me

110

and she was like you look angry all the time i'm

111

like no i'm not angry that's just my face this is literally just my face

112

and it was definitely because of my um very sharp monolids

113

so then i was just like ah shit well well there's

114

not much i could do there there wasn't much i could

115

do at the time obviously i was literally a kid

116

but i was just like damn breath

117

and then i just lucked it out for the next few years

118

and then during quarantine was when i really experimented with makeup

119

because I literally chopped my hair off by myself at home and gave myself a bowl cut

120

and then I felt more comfortable in my own skin

121

because of the fact that I was like exploring my sexuality

122

and gender identity and then that was

123

when I started feeling more comfortable with myself

124

because I didn't have to go to school because that was COVID

125

so then no one could see me behind the screen I

126

barely ever showed my face like you know everyone just like

127

low-key like just stop showing their faces at some point you know

128

so then i just didn't show my face and i felt most comfortable

129

that way and then that was when my acne truly started to clear up

130

because i think the school environment was just not it for me it just made me feel

131

so icky and gross in quarantine i just felt so so

132

so so much better so

133

so much less stress like i didn't have to worry about being perceived by other kids making friends

134

because by then it was like february march i still didn't really have friends i was just a freaking floater

135

that didn't have friends because the people

136

that i thought were maybe friends they told me later on

137

that they didn't think we're close at all

138

and i was like wow i totally misread that situation

139

but um regardless of that so that was also

140

when like 2020 tiktok was like very into that e-girl um alternative aesthetic

141

and i was just experimenting i was experimenting with everything winged

142

liner fashion it was just like everything i just wanted to look cool i want to look cool

143

so i could fit in somewhere and i slowly did that

144

and then i actually did find people i i tried to reach out

145

because after basically a year of like not really talking to

146

people i was like okay well now i'm getting really lonely like there's not enough genshin quests now

147

so i need to find someone to play valorant with and

148

that was also when valorant came out so then i was like okay

149

so now i need to find friends to play games with

150

because i am really lonely and

151

and playing genshin by myself is not cutting it anymore because at that time I literally finished all the quests.

152

Yes I literally just grinded Genshin every single day while I was on zoom.

153

It was fun.

154

I was I was actually some classes I was paying attention

155

and low-key it made my attention span way better

156

but for some other classes I couldn't play in a game at the same time like physics.

157

I could not do that.

158

I had

159

I had to put my full attention on there

160

or else the teacher would have called me out in front of the class

161

and that was the last thing I wanted to do.

162

But the trick was you participate a lot in the beginning and then they're like, yeah, that person actually talks a lot.

163

So then when everyone is burnt out and stuff towards the middle of the semester, no one starts talking anymore, even the active participants

164

and then they just slowly stop calling on you

165

and then I just kind of use

166

that meta to like I participated in the very beginning of the class

167

so then they wouldn't pick on me later on

168

and then then I just started playing games again yeah anyways guys stay in school don't become like me

169

because I almost became a dropout

170

because that's that's a whole nother story high school senior year yeah

171

that that's a whole nother thing but we don't need to get onto

172

that yeah so then i messaged this one girl

173

that i didn't talk to for years because we went to different high schools

174

and then i i was like oh my god wait she she does tiktok

175

and she likes alternative fashion too so then i tried hitting her up

176

but then she goes to me at first

177

but then eventually she started talking to me

178

and then we started hitting it off and then we started playing games together

179

and then she introduced me to her friend it's like the

180

way to make friends is like you need an extroverted friend

181

first to like bring you along with their other friends like

182

you need you need an extrovert friend to adopt you that's

183

that's the main way to make friends is how i think

184

is the easiest meta at least that's what i think the meta is and it's definitely a foolproof plan

185

and then after she introduced me to her friends

186

and they were all accepting and welcoming of me I felt more secure

187

and I was like wow people actually like me

188

and they're inclusive of me wait that's crazy so then yeah I think

189

that was the most confident I was but then

190

because of friend group drama

191

and stuff like most friend groups do um it slowly fell apart

192

and then yeah people just picked sides and then and then it just went into yeah it just dissipated basically

193

makeup so far wow i still feel

194

so freaking chopped bro oh my god okay these days i just genuinely feel

195

so shitty about myself i feel like it's because of the fact

196

that um i don't know there's just a lot going on i just feel

197

so guilty for not doing shit and then feeling like shit

198

because of the ex rebound thing and then also remember the job interview that happened yeah

199

so when they were telling me to go pick a training day I picked it

200

but then on the day of I flaked not gonna lie told them

201

that I was sick because I felt so nauseous

202

but more like in an anxiety induced way not like I was physically ill type of way it was

203

so much anxiety I couldn't bring myself to go

204

and yeah I probably fucked up the um opportunity that way

205

because I don't think they would want me anymore if i rescheduled

206

that many times with them right so i'm just like okay well

207

fuck um r.i.p job r.i.p job i still need a message to them

208

and ask them if they want to reschedule they said no problem

209

but i don't actually know if they meant no problem you know

210

but yeah it's just so much anxiety and uh feeling bad about myself these days anyways continuing on with the story

211

it wasn't until like last year after i got eyelid surgery

212

that i truly felt a little bit better about myself

213

but even now it feels like it's not enough it feels like oh i need more

214

and i want more there's more and more things that i pick at myself about because i'm my own worst critic

215

like that's usually how it is for everyone you're your own worst critic

216

and like we literally bully ourselves in our own heads

217

and i genuinely think my brain is my biggest op

218

because literally no one would be this mean to me in

219

real life actually maybe there would some some people on the internet are weird

220

but um for the most part i don't think anyone could be more mean than myself

221

to myself at least wait my freaking ego style looks different it looks different from each side

222

I feel like I'm like going on a tangent I don't

223

even know what I'm talking about anymore I'm sorry guys I'm

224

like really bad at this Like I'm not a good I'm

225

not very good at keeping track Of my thoughts I just say whatever comes to my brain

226

And a lot of the times it's Disorganized

227

Alright we got our Egyosar way

228

Oh my god I don't know why I said that That one song is stuck in my head

229

The one that's like the

230

umma musume okay um this part's the most important my eyebrows

231

because clearly i have very very sparse eyebrows i don't know it's just weird i feel like i'm

232

so conditioned to hate myself it's probably also like a capitalism thing um

233

because there's always new products on the market

234

and it's like oh it's picking out a new insecurity

235

that you never thought you had before like since

236

when was like the length of your philtrum the length of

237

your midface a thing literally a few years ago no one talked about this shit no one

238

and all of a sudden everyone's talking about this and then the fucking recessed chin and shit oh my god bro

239

it's just more and more things to make us pick at to hate ourselves

240

and then buy into some fucking product

241

or procedure to fix it oh my light just went out

242

but yeah it's just obviously i'm a consumer first i consume media

243

and everything so obviously i am influenced by

244

that shit as well it's not like i'm saying like oh

245

i am the exception i do not buy into any of

246

that shit i could see right through their plans it's like

247

obviously i am also very influenced by those things as well and

248

I feel like I almost like went into that hole of

249

that shit and i hate it

250

because it's just it's just feeding off of young people's insecurities to make profits for whatever

251

that you're trying to sell me whether it's your cores

252

or whether it's your peptides or injections i don't even know dude

253

i feel like for femme presenting people especially online we just are so reduced to our looks

254

like if you don't look conventionally attractive

255

and then you're doing a third job people are gonna shit on you

256

and people are gonna dog on you but it's different

257

if a conventionally attractive person does it right and i just it's just

258

so sad because like everyone online also feeds off of hate

259

and it's just so unanimous it's just like no one is supporting each other

260

and uplifting each other these days all it is these days is rage bait

261

and just like people mobbing onto people it's just it's like mom mentality to hate like people

262

or things or whatever the hell i actually kind of like my makeup today eyebrows are really dark but

263

okay wait i rather fucked up wait you got me fucked

264

up why wait wait wait wait this looks weird i don't

265

know what kind of makeup i'm going for at all like

266

like at all back in high school i never went to

267

school without doing my makeup i would always wake up an hour

268

or two before class starts now it already takes me like an hour to get to school

269

and then i have to wake up another hour and a half before that to get ready and it literally

270

killed me and i was like

271

so subconscious i was like i can't go to school without any on makeup no one will recognize me

272

and people are gonna judge me and da da da da da

273

but no one actually gives a fuck like in reality no one actually gives a fuck

274

but i was just so in my head i was

275

so in my head about that i was so convinced

276

that everyone hated me and everyone thought that was ugly

277

because sometimes i still feel that way sometimes i still feel that way for sure

278

because that shit sticks with you and it doesn't go away

279

oh wait i didn't do my lashes another thing was i tried every single eyelid tape eyelid glue

280

eyelid whatever the hell

281

and then i opted for eyelid glue during middle school years

282

every day every morning I would glue my eyelids basically together to look like it has a double eyelid crease

283

and then in high school I started just using tape

284

and then full full-on makeup

285

but back in middle school I only did my foundation I did my foundation on my cheeks

286

but I never did it on my forehead where I actually had acne

287

because I was like oh my god it's gonna make it worse

288

and then I just I just look like a half-boiled egg like this part was like cooked

289

and this part was like shiny boily

290

and shit other part was just like just like baked I

291

was like damn I saw a picture of me on like

292

snapchat like I took like a snapchat photo back then with my old friend

293

and then it was just my shiny shiny cheek and then my forehead that's completely unblended it was just

294

and it was like crusty like looking back on it it's like funny you know like we all have like

295

that makeup fail stage because it's not easy to do makeup i literally spend

296

so much time researching practicing to get to the skill level

297

that i'm at now

298

and i still don't think i am as good as a lot of cosplayers

299

because oh my god the chinese cosplayers they're crazy i love watching their tutorials

300

because it's so intriguing because it's like art and you're the canvas

301

i don't really have a clear message for this video i

302

guess it's just me talking about how i feel these days

303

and just being perceived online i just feel like there's like a lot of pressure to look a certain way

304

and sometimes i feel like i just feel like a fraud i'm not gonna I just feel like a fraud

305

because of the face filters and just like my makeup

306

because it can be quote unquote deceiving however you want to look at it

307

but to me it's just something for me to feel better about myself with

308

and it shouldn't be anyone else's business obviously but um

309

when you have a lot of people watching you kind of people make it their business

310

and it's hard for me to not pay attention to what people say

311

and I personally just keep reinforcing that idea in my head that I am not what everyone thinks that I am.

312

Everyone's complimenting me and shit, but I'm like, no, that's not who I am.

313

I don't feel like that.

314

I don't look like that.

315

And then I just feel so deceitful, but I don't even know what I look like.

316

Cameras distort your face.

317

Mirrors also sometimes have a distortion, but for the most part, mirrors are pretty accurate of what you look like.

318

But every single time I see, like, pretty girls online taking photos and they look so good

319

and then when I open up my camera roll

320

and then I look at myself I'm like damn damn this

321

is not what I thought I'd look like I'll take a picture

322

and then it's just like it doesn't look like how it looked like on there

323

and I was just like why don't I look like that

324

and then I just stopped taking pictures of myself because I felt

325

so so in my head about myself

326

and obviously the logical thing is just fake it till you make it I know that's how it usually goes.

327

And yet, I don't really have the strength to fake it.

328

Because it also takes a lot of energy, right?

329

So yeah, it's learning to love yourself and to accept these things about yourself is a challenge.

330

And if you ever get any cosmetic procedures, make sure that you're doing it for yourself.

331

And not because of anyone else.

332

You know?

333

So definitely sit on that for years because

334

when i got my eyes done i sat on

335

that for many many many years anything else i want in

336

the future possibly i will also sit on it for years

337

because we do change we do change sometimes you grow into accepting yourself

338

and sometimes that might not be that might not happen for you

339

so then just do what you gotta do you know

340

if that's what makes you happy you should go for it

341

but if it's just something

342

that you feel pressure to do i don't suggest it i

343

don't suggest altering your face to make others happy you

344

know i haven't put on lashes in

345

a bit i do feel kind of i don't know

346

if i feel pretty i don't know if i feel pretty i feel different i don't know if I feel pretty.

347

I'm gonna draw on bottom lashes.

348

Sometimes I definitely think, oh, if I didn't look like this or if I didn't present myself in a certain way, no one will watch my videos.

349

And you guys clicked on it because you probably thought, oh wow, this girl, she looks kind of cool or she looks kind of pretty.

350

And then you're like, oh, she's really mentally ill or maybe I like her personality.

351

And then that's what I said.

352

But I felt like, I don't it's just like a very sociological thing beauty standards

353

and everything and it's also ingrained in patriarchy it's all systems all systems

354

that bind us into like this shit that we fucking hate

355

but we ultimately can't really change much but um yeah there's no solution

356

there is no solution i'm not a philosopher by any means i'm literally just a girl on the internet

357

a girl on the internet

358

that is mad insecure i'm trying to do my makeup today to try to stream

359

because I haven't streamed in two weeks

360

because I fucking fucking hated myself still hate myself

361

but I don't want to I don't want to keep saying

362

that I don't want to keep saying I hate myself

363

because you are what you eat you are what you think

364

so I don't want to keep saying

365

that you know I'm gonna try to stop the self-deprecating jokes

366

like I'm gonna kill myself like no I'm not gonna say

367

that anymore I'm gonna start saying I'm gonna shit myself that's a better better way to

368

stop the negativity and it's more humorous I'd say if maybe maybe you don't think so but I think so Wait,

369

I feel like I like my makeup today I'm looking at myself in the mirror I'm like, wait a minute Is the baddie coming back?

370

Maybe it's my eyebrows Or maybe it's my hairstyle Because my bangs have been really, really freaking weird lately I was thinking about also cutting my hair for this video

371

but i like low-key did my hair before i started the makeup

372

so then like it's like easier somewhat easier

373

or else i'll look like mega mega chopped

374

and i don't think i want to put myself in

375

that position because i did a i did a youtube live where i did

376

that and then people are like oh my god holy fucking chopped

377

and then i was like okay i'm fucking privating this shit.

378

Hell, freak you guys.

379

Freak y'all.

380

I'm just using humor to cope.

381

What blush should I use?

382

¿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.
