Création de la leçon...
1
So I just broke up with my girlfriend.
2
And I'm not going to...
3
I'm not asking for pity or support or anything.
4
I'm fine.
5
But I wanted to talk about this while it was still fresh because
6
I think that's when the best time to talk about things is when it's fresh.
7
Thank you.
8
Relationships are hard.
9
You know?
10
People, uh...
11
People break up and stay together for all kinds of different reasons.
12
And in my particular case, I thought it was time to break up. And...
13
The good thing is we're on good terms, you know?
14
We're still...
15
Love each other. But...
16
One of us is not there as much as...
17
They used to be.
18
I'm going to try and spare the details, but...
19
It just wasn't the same, you know? And, uh...
20
it wasn't the same in a way that you couldn't fix it.
21
This wasn't a...
22
you know We can sit and talk about this and it'll heal.
23
It was a...
24
this can't go on any longer because we're going to hate each other type of deal.
25
And You know, we both have to accept that.
26
You both have to accept this fact for reasons Reasons that life won't tell you. But...
27
I wanted to take this opportunity to talk about relationships.
28
Relationships are hard, people.
29
You need to work at them.
30
You need to constantly work and build them.
31
Something that didn't happen with mine.
32
And I know that now and I've learned from this issue. But, uh...
33
You also have to not be afraid to end relationships that aren't working out.
34
when there really isn't much that can be done about them when there really isn't much that can be done about it.
35
And that is what I believe my case was.
36
And I don't know if I already said this, but I'm going to call my girlfriend Velvet so that we can refer to her.
37
And Velvet, if you're seeing this, I'm sorry if you've had to somehow manage to get to your recommended page.
38
I'm sorry if you have to...
39
hear about this second hand But...
40
I'm gonna try and have as minimal amount of cuts as possible.
41
Thank you.
42
I want to keep this as raw and original as possible.
43
I think that in general that's a goal with this channel, but in this specific episode, I want it to be real.
44
I want it to be so real that...
45
You can feel the...
46
I guess the pain Because pain is good.
47
People don't realize it, but you need pain in your life.
48
You need pain to learn and grow from.
49
You need pain so that certain things won't hurt later in life or it's just useful for many reasons
50
And it's hard for me to cast my thoughts right now.
51
Honestly, I'm surprised I'm not tearing up.
52
Yeah, if you're in a relationship and you feel that, you know, If you feel that you're unhappy, or if you feel that something's wrong,
53
you need to tell your partner.
54
And if it's something that If it's something that's so detrimentally wrong that You can't even really tell your partner.
55
Something that you really can't tell them because it's just going to hurt their feelings beyond...
56
Any other recognition?
57
Thank you.
58
That's one of the times when you might have to lie a little bit. And...
59
Luckily, that's not what happened in my case.
60
I didn't have to lie about what happened.
61
Or why we broke up.
62
which I think is why we're still amicable.
63
And still able to talk to each other.
64
Is that a witch's hut?
65
That is a witch's hut.
66
Let's go over there.
67
I've been in a few relationships, right?
68
This was the only one that was real. And, um...
69
I've learned from all of them.
70
And what I've learned from the other two is that You shouldn't really...
71
let your guard down too quickly.
72
Because people don't show who they are until a year after the relationship really is going on.
73
Because it really takes that level of time. And, um...
74
Effort to find out these things, right?
75
You can't just learn who a person is in a day or a month or even three months.
76
Because people in the first three months of a relationship usually are still in what's called the honeymoon phase.
77
And the so -called honeymoon phase...
78
Isn't...
79
Thank you.
80
It's not a real thing.
81
It's not a phase that really can tell.
82
It's when people put up their best show.
83
Like when girls still wear makeup to bed type of thing.
84
When guys are always clean in their houses before...
85
You know, they start farting all over the place and leaving the dirty shit.
86
all over the floor.
87
Yeah.
88
So it takes that first three month period.
89
And then there's another three months, right?
90
And those other three months are where...
91
Do I want this cauldron?
92
Can I even break this cauldron with...
93
I can.
94
Okay.
95
And then the next three months are a phase of, oh, this person kind of annoys me.
96
This person is like...
97
Um, This person is giving me multiple icks, as certain girls say.
98
And that's fine too.
99
You have to go through that phase to see if the things
100
that you once thought were cute about this person were now
101
just going to annoy the shit out of you for the rest of your life.
102
if you're that sort of partner seeker.
103
looking for a life partner and then you go into the next three months which Or when you start to realize like,
104
okay, I can handle this or this is worth staying with this person for or You know, this is worth X, Y, and Z.
105
And I still really love this person for this reason.
106
Thank you.
107
And you go on, and the list goes on, right?
108
And, you know, that's nine months.
109
That's nine months at least.
110
And of course it's not the same for everybody.
111
It can be nine months.
112
It can be two years.
113
It could be Hell, it could be less.
114
The reality is it's going to take time to find out
115
what you need about a person before you can make the decision to either stay with them And...
116
See if they're the person for you.
117
I'm going to die to a spider now because I'm...
118
Okay.
119
Thank you.
120
So when you reach that final point of like the final decision, that you're gonna make of staying with this person or...
121
doing to be with this person.
122
That's when the relationship really starts.
123
Thank you that's when you really start to have the difficult conversations.
124
It's when you start to have the, The hard stuff go on. And...
125
That's the part where love hurts.
126
You know, in my specific case, It had been hurting for a while. Because...
127
Thank you.
128
For lack of a better...
129
way up god I'm gonna die I'm so boned I'm so boned I'm so bound, I'm so bound, I'm so bound.
130
Um, Oh no, I'm boned.
131
I'm f*ed.
132
I'm f*ed.
133
I'm so f*ed.
134
Wait.
135
Oh, you're kidding.
136
Oh, you're kidding.
137
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no I guess I'm dead.
138
And it reached a point in my relationship, right, where One of us was hurting the other.
139
And it was hurting in a way that
140
You can't really do anything about it As the party that's hurting the other party.
141
The only thing you can do is let them down...
142
Slowly or let them down easily rather not slowly And it's hard to be that person.
143
It's hard to be the person who's going to be the bad guy in the end.
144
We're not necessarily the bad guy, just, you know.
145
the one to end it all.
146
People don't really ever tell you about that.
147
People always talk about it's hard to get broken up with and you'll heal and it'll be okay.
148
But no one tells you what it's like to be on the other side of that coin.
149
Thank you.
150
And the other side of that coin is just as bad.
151
if not worse, for people that really care about their partners.
152
And that was the truth for me.
153
I still love Velvet.
154
She's a great person.
155
Amazing woman.
156
Thank you. But.
157
It wasn't going to work out between us, and I could see it.
158
And at the time, or right now, she can't see that.
159
She doesn't understand it.
160
But I have faith that she will.
161
I hope that you will.
162
And I wish you the best of luck.
163
And I was sure...
164
I just wish her happiness.
165
And that's how you should be, right?
166
If you break up with someone, right?
167
Unless they were a total piece of garbage to you.
168
Unless they like...
169
abused you emotionally or something like that.
170
If you're going to let them down, try to be kind.
171
Try to be nice to them.
172
Because at the end of the day, this was a person that you spent a good, significant part of your time with for a certain amount of years or months or whatever.
173
And this person may or may not have loved you, you know?
174
If you're going to rip their heart out, do it kindly.
175
as kind as you can be about something like that.
176
And if you're on the other side of that coin, you know, if you're the one being broken up with, as I have been a couple of times, Just know that there's going to be something else.
177
There's going to be someone else who can either fix your heart Or break it all over again.
178
But I think that's the beauty of love and relationships.
179
They're unpredictable.
180
And they can be fun and painful and good and bad in so many ways.
181
And Velvet, if you did happen to find this video and you're still watching, wherever you are at whatever point in your life...
182
I, uh...
183
I hope you're doing okay. And, uh...
184
I hope you're happy.
185
Anyway, guys.
186
I'm gonna try and find my items, but I won't spare you through the boredom.
187
So, uh, goodnight.
188
And good luck.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
