Hey Psych2Goers, welcome back to another video.
2
Before we start, we would like to thank you all for the support that you've given us.
3
As you know, Psych2Go's mission is to make psychology and mental health more accessible to everyone, and you help us do that, so thank you.
4
Now, back to the video.
5
How attractive do you think you seem to other people?
6
Are you insecure about certain parts of yourself?
7
Everyone has their own insecurities about themselves, and may fear how it may come off for other people.
8
But you never know.
9
Those very same qualities in yourself that you're insecure about are traits that some people may actually appreciate and find attractive
10
While there's certainly some truth in the saying no one can know you better than you know yourself
11
When it comes to attractiveness, sometimes we just can't tell because we're
12
so hard on ourselves To help you with that here are eight flaws that actually make you more attractive Number one,
13
you're shy Do you speak in a soft voice but prefer to keep quiet most of the time?
14
Are you the type to duck your head or fidget when people look at you?
15
While you may have a hard time believing this, there are actually a lot of people out there who find shyness an attractive trait to have.
16
In a world where sociable, talkative, take-charge types of people are all clamoring to be the center of attention,
17
there may be something refreshing about being with someone who likes to listen more than they like to talk.
18
After all, shy people are often seen as more mysterious, intriguing, and down to earth compared to others.
19
Number 2.
20
You're clumsy.
21
Another trait that some find surprisingly attractive is clumsiness.
22
In fact, psychology says that men, in particular, tend to find clumsiness in women to be attractive, not only because it makes them seem more genuine,
23
youthful, and excitable, but also because it makes them feel needed.
24
Clumsiness also makes people feel compelled to approach you
25
and to help you out
26
when you're a rut according to statistics only a small percentage of you who watch our videos are actually subscribed
27
so if you haven't
28
and at the end of the video you enjoy what you
29
see do consider subscribing it would help a lot with youtube's
30
algorithm in promoting more of our mental health content thanks for
31
being here number three you're easily embarrassed do you often get flustered
32
when people tease you or get embarrassed when your friends poke fun at you for something Do you tend to blush, squeal, or cover your face when this happens?
33
While this may seem like a flaw to some people, being easily embarrassed is quite an attractive trait to others, especially to men.
34
Similar to the previous point, people who are easily embarrassed seem more genuine because they don't try to hide their true feelings.
35
Number four, you're nerdy.
36
Those who get called nerds or geeks often get a bad reputation for or loving something deeply.
37
But what's so wrong with that?
38
Whether it's comic books, anime, video games, Broadway musicals, or some other obscure interest not a lot of people can relate to.
39
Being a nerd isn't something you should be ashamed of In fact, there are some who find nerds attractive for the very same reasons they're criticized for
40
They're driven excited and most of all passionate about the things they enjoy Number five,
41
you're too honest Do you always say what you mean?
42
To those who are tired of listening to everyone telling them
43
what they want to hear It can be nice to have someone who always tells the truth no matter what
44
Being honest can be a very attractive trait
45
Because it means that you're not going to waste their time by beating around the bush
46
or by playing mind games with them
47
Despite how difficult it may be you are able to just come out and say what they need to hear
48
number six you're an oversharer oh I shouldn't have said that sorry.
49
I've been talking and sharing so much Does this sound like you?
50
Well, the good news is one of the silver linings to being an overshare is
51
that it makes you seem more sincere and approachable
52
While some may prefer a mystery there are those who like it when someone is an open book
53
This may be because your openness creates a comfortable environment for them to open up
54
and to share things about themselves They don't usually share it makes it easier for them to develop closeness
55
and intimacy in a relationship Number seven, you take things slow.
56
Do you always take a long time making decisions because you tend to overthink things and focus on all the details?
57
Do you always have a lot going on in your mind?
58
You're probably a deep thinker and the type who likes to observe the situation before forming an opinion.
59
Unlike those who are always craving excitement or chasing one thrill after the other in their lives,
60
you appreciate and savor the peace and quiet in your life and prefer to take your time with things.
61
And to people who feel the same way, this can be a very appealing quality to have.
62
And number eight, you crave support.
63
As humans, it's normal to crave affection from others.
64
Though it's true that sometimes people who openly desire warmth, sympathy, and encouragement from others can be a bit off-putting at times,
65
especially when they seem too needy or desperate.
66
There is something nice about being with someone who makes you feel needed.
67
Whether it's kind words, sweet gestures, thoughtful gifts, or simply time and attention.
68
Having a partner who wants and asks for support can be a very attractive quality.
69
Did you find any of these surprising or insightful?

About This Lesson
In this lesson, you’ll practice understanding and using conversational English while exploring a relatable topic: how perceived "flaws" can be attractive. You’ll focus on natural speech patterns, including pacing, intonation, and casual phrasing, which are key for English speaking practice and even IELTS speaking practice. The video’s friendly, conversational tone makes it ideal for honing your ability to follow and replicate everyday dialogue.
Key Vocabulary & Phrases
- Clamoring: Competing noisily to be noticed (e.g., "Sociable types are always clamoring for attention").
- Intriguing: Fascinating or mysterious (e.g., "Shy people often seem more intriguing").
- Compelled: Forced or strongly motivated to do something (e.g., "Clumsiness can make others feel compelled to help").
- Oversharer: Someone who shares too much personal information (e.g., "Being an oversharer has unexpected upsides").
- Beating around the bush: Avoiding direct talk (e.g., "Honest people don’t beat around the bush").
Practice Tips
To master the video’s tone and improve your pronunciation, try shadow speak (repeating lines immediately after the speaker). The video’s moderate speed—common in casual conversations—lets you focus on matching intonation, especially in phrases like "you never know" or "what’s so wrong with that?" Pause and replay sections where the speaker emphasizes words (e.g., "genuine," "passionate") to mimic stress patterns, a crucial skill for clear communication. For shadowspeaks practice, break longer sentences into chunks: "While you may have a hard time believing this / there are actually a lot of people / who find shyness attractive." This helps with pacing and fluency, both essential for improving English pronunciation and sounding natural in real-life interactions.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
