Confidence.
4
Some people are born with an innate streak of confidence, whilst it takes a little time for others to develop confidence as they develop from children into adults.
5
But there will be times when your confidence takes a knock, right?
6
It's common to feel like you wish your confidence was better, While other things that are out of control may impact your confidence,
7
such as other people, it's important to know which things you are in control of, and how you can prevent yourself from destroying your own confidence.
8
So, here are nine habits that are destroying your confidence.
9
Number one, you care too much about what other people think.
10
How many times have you said to yourself, I don't care what other people think about me.
11
Honestly, the tally isn't quite encouraging, is it?
12
No. That's okay.
13
It's common to care about what other people think, especially if we're trying to impress them.
14
As human beings, you want to be liked and respected by others.
15
However, when you value other people's thinking and opinion above your own, and change your behavior to reflect what you think others want to see, you're doing more harm than good for yourself.
16
Number two, negative thinking.
17
I'm not good enough.
18
I can't do this.
19
You've had one too many of those days, haven't you?
20
Uh-huh.
21
You become what you think.
22
If you always think you're not good enough, then you'll never be confident.
23
Do you have thoughts that you can never get that promotion even though you are qualified?
24
That's negative thinking.
25
Indulging in pessimism creates a self-fulfilling prophecy.
26
Oh boy yeah you're gradually destroying your self-confidence with all of
27
these thoughts reframing those negative thoughts to say i am good enough to get this job
28
and i need to show my skills can reinforce a more
29
positive mindset it's crucial to focus on what you can do instead of worrying about the outcomes
30
that you can't control number three social media living do you compare your lifestyle with your friends on social media?
31
Or how many times have you thought that your social media life is better than your own life?
32
The pretty pictures people paint on social media, as we know, are not always as they appear to be.
33
If you consistently find yourself comparing yourself to others
34
and living in your own version of reality and only putting out what you want the world to see, then you may notice that this has an impact on your confidence in the real world.
35
Once you start to understand
36
that this is not what everyday lives are like then you
37
should start to feel more grounded number four self-deprecating talk
38
when you diminish what you do you're taking shots at your self-confidence
39
if every time you speak in a personal or professional setting
40
and you say that you're not that great you're diminishing your worth
41
and value when you're constantly communicating that you're not
42
that great it's bound to make you feel less than confident writer Senator C.S.
43
Lewis once said, humility is not thinking less of yourself, but it's thinking of yourself less.
44
So remember that and try not to confuse humility with self-deprecation.
45
Number five, the blame game is your favorite sport.
46
When you find yourself in a situation that you are not happy with, such as the job that you hate,
47
do you tend to find excuses and blame everybody else or everything else for what is happening?
48
This destroys your self-esteem and you feel less confident about being able to manage your situation.
49
You'll need to develop an exit plan for your self-esteem.
50
In his video, How to Beast explains this idea of blaming acts as a defense mechanism.
51
So rather than pass the blame, taking ownership of your situation should jumpstart your confidence, fingers crossed.
52
Number six, you set the bar low for yourself.
53
When you disclaim, I'm not very good at this, so don't have any expectations, it immediately makes others question your ability.
54
Disqualifying yourself verbally reassures you that others don't have high expectations from you and won't be disappointed.
55
But by setting yourself at this level, naturally your confidence is going to be low, as is your sense of value.
56
So when you put confidence on it, it instills confidence in others about you as well.
57
Number seven, thinking that you don't have anything to say or contribute to a discussion.
58
Why don't you tend to get involved in conversations at work or at social events?
59
Is it because you don't believe that you have anything meaningful to add?
60
Maybe.
61
Well, this too is destroying your confidence, as you may feel like people will be bored of what you have to say
62
or that they'll think that you're not smart.
63
Yeah, or they'll make fun of me.
64
This is a story that you've told yourself and you've started to believe that it's true.
65
It may be that the topic of conversation is not something
66
that you're particularly interested in or know a lot about
67
but it should not be allowed to cost you your confidence
68
okay number eight you dismiss compliments guilty as charged right yeah me too we often receive compliments by deflecting
69
or shying away from accepting them because we're embarrassed or we don't believe the comment.
70
By deflecting, we're not only selling ourselves short, but challenging the judgment of the person complimenting us.
71
Accepting compliments graciously doesn't make you an egomaniac.
72
We can accept compliments graciously and take them on board when developing our confidence.
73
And number nine, ruminating.

75
or situations you didn't like an example of this may be
76

Obiettivi di parlato per questo video
Questo video è perfetto per lavorare sulla fluency e sulla capacità di esprimere concetti complessi in modo chiaro. Attraverso l'analisi di abitudini comuni, imparerai a strutturare frasi coordinate e a usare connessioni logiche, un milestone fondamentale per parlare inglese con confidenza. Inoltre, la lingua parlata semplice ma efficace del narratore è ideale per esercitarti nel shadowing in inglese: ripetere frasi immediatamente dopo averle sentite aiuta a migliorare la pronuncia e il ritmo.
Banca di frasi riutilizzabili
- "take a knock" (subire un colpo): "La mia confidenza ha preso un colpo dopo l'errore."
- "self-fulfilling prophecy" (profezia che si autoavvera): "Pensare di non riuscirci è una profezia che si autoavvera."
- "reframing negative thoughts" (riformulare i pensieri negativi): "Riformulare i pensieri negativi è chiave per la mentalità positiva."
- "defense mechanism" (meccanismo di difesa): "La colpa è un meccanismo di difesa per evitare la responsabilità."
Correggi i tuoi punti deboli
Il video aiuta a migliorare la pronuncia inglese soprattutto nella gestione delle pause e dell'intonazione. Molte frasi hanno una struttura che alterna pause brevi e flussi continui: ascolta attentamente come il narratore enfatizza parole chiave come "confidence", "negative thinking" o "social media". Per esercitarti, usa la tecnica del shadow speech: ripeti ogni frase al tempo stesso del video, cercando di imitare il tono e la velocità. Se vuoi approfondire, puoi cercare un shadowing site o usare YouTube come risorsa: imparare l'inglese con YouTube è un modo pratico e gratuito per esercitarti giornalmente. Ricorda: la chiave è la costanza, non la perfezione!
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | are born · be liked · should not be allowed |
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | You've had · you've told |
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
