People are gonna probably make fun of you and so what

and people are gonna find you cringe because you're trying to be someone

that you're not But it's like how the fuck do you know that if you were to do it,

you would be embarrassed Do I really want what they have or is it just because I don't have it?

Hi guys, welcome back to my channel today I really want to talk about something.

I feel like everyone talks about this Especially I feel like

when I get dms from you guys where you're saying I want to make videos I want to make content,

but it's like cringe what happens to my friends like bullies me about it

and makes fun of me about it So I really want to talk about this topic.

You see all over the internet recently where people say that how cringe creates success.

I personally believe that if you're doing something and you don't feel embarrassed,

you're probably starting too late.

It's natural to start something at the beginning and you feel embarrassed about it.

Like that just means you're on the right timing of it.

You're supposed to feel like that because it's like when you're not familiar with something,

you don't know how to do something.

Of course, you're going to be a little bit embarrassed and that just means that you're starting.

And also along that, I think

that I also really want to talk about like comparison because like we all know that to do something,

to grow, to be your most authentic self,

you have to be cringe.

Because when you become a cringe,

cringe, it's where you're willing to take a lot of risk,

a lot of risk that other people wouldn't take.

And sometimes when you keep doing that,

you're like, I don't care, I don't care.

There's certain moments in life where you start comparing because you're like,

oh, am I actually being cringe?

Because it's not, I don't think it's like a linear slope where you're just like,

I don't care what people think,

I don't care what people think.

I think you build thicker skin over time,

but I genuinely believe that there's going to be moments where you're going to be like,

oh, this is kind of cringe.

Like, what the fuck am I doing?

Especially when you interact with different groups of people.

Like, that's just how it'd be sometimes, right?

So I also want to talk about that.

And so I have some notes on my phone and my laptop,

which I will probably be looking down to read.

Like, yeah, of course, like there's like moments where you really just think that it's fucking cringe.

Like literally me the other day when I was streaming on Twitch and people were like,

hey, you should look at some thirst traps by people.

And yeah, I sometimes find them cringe

but you know what it's just what people do like some people might find me cringe

and that's completely fine like she's so cringe you know

so something i get it it can just be you know it's kind of funny

but i think people think other things are cringe

because it's imperfect you have to take risk

and you also have to learn from your mistakes

because at the beginning especially for those of you guys who

are aspiring content creators of course people find it cringe

because you're trying to become someone without evidence right you're like oh i'm gonna make a bunch of content.

I'm going to try to become this content creator,

but you don't even have very much big of a platform.

Like you're getting there.

And the thing is that you're going to be seen

when you're doing this path and people are going to find you cringe because you're trying to be someone that you're not,

but it's like, how the fuck do you know that?

Because that's just how life works.

You're a, right?

You want to get to be,

it's not like you just suddenly go to be,

you have a path that you need to take to become B.

But the thing is that when you think it, you can become it.

And there's a path you're going to be seen.

You're going to be seen trying.

And I think the scary thing about trying and doing things

that are different is that you're going to be seen

and people often say like nobody really cares about what you do like people don't really judge you for

i disagree with that because i think

that yes people will judge you for what you do

and it's like people are going to probably make fun of you

and so what i think true confidence is knowing

that yes people may talk about you people may judge you

but you know that you yourself can persevere You know that you yourself can be fine no matter what the environment is.

I think that's true confidence.

And I think it's just authenticity is very, very important.

And I think when we find something cringe, right?

Like, oh, that's so cringe.

I genuinely think it's just like a projection of our inner self.

Like it's kind of like you see someone do something that's kind of cringe

and you find it cringe because if you were to do it,

you would be embarrassed, right?

And that's why you find it cringe.

But just because you do it doesn't mean it's like a really bad thing.

It's just that you're just a little embarrassed about it and you don't accept that certain aspect of yourself.

You know, that's why you find certain things like, oh, kind of weird.

But that's why I find like sometimes thirst trapping a little like,

you know, like cringe.

And this maybe in reality is not even cringe.

It's just the fact that if I were to do it,

I might find it a little, you know.

So I think it's just our own projections towards things.

And I think this year it truly taught me that authenticity is very,

very important in life because it makes things so much easier

but sometimes being authentic in the society it doesn't feel safe to be authentic with everyone because sometimes it's just,

and it's like, I think it's great for people who can be authentic to everyone.

But sometimes it's just, at least for me,

100

I, not like I pick and I choose,

101

but sometimes there's certain people that you just feel like there needs to be like a certain barrier.

102

Like there's certain people that you feel safe enough to be authentic.

103

And there's certain people that you're just like,

104

oh, I need to put on my like, what's the word?

105

Like, like corporate, corporate, not like corporate,

106

but just like, you know, like professional, polite.

107

You know what I mean?

108

When you truly do what you want to do,

109

if it's so-called cringe, I still think that you should do it.

110

Because even now, like, when I post my own videos,

111

like, I'm like, oh, that is so cringe.

112

Like, why the fuck do I do that?

113

But I wouldn't be here.

114

I generally would not be here doing this if I didn't put myself out there.

115

Low-key, like, I look back,

116

I'm like, oh, why did I do my makeup like that?

117

Why did I do my hair like that?

118

Why do I talk like that?

119

It just, like, goes on and on and on.

120

I can keep judging, I can keep judging.

121

But it's like, because I put myself out there,

122

not, like, to be judged,

123

well, that too but i didn't really think of it like

124

that i'm just like i've done all the embarrassing like people see me like i put myself out there

125

and

126

but now it's like who cares like people can judge me

127

like there's worse stuff out there like i've posted very embarrassing before like there's worse out there

128

and nowadays like

129

when i film it just i feel very comfortable you guys always ask why i feel

130

so comfortable when i film it's because like there's so much embarrassing out there

131

because like

132

that i'm just like oh now at least i know how

133

to do my eyeliner at least my makeup ease like you

134

know i don't care like you can say all the you want like it doesn't really matter

135

so it just goes to show you that when you're cringe

136

and when you're just keep doing it

137

and doing it you get more confident in it

138

but like i said before it's not linear

139

and there's moments where you become a little bit self-aware not like self-aware

140

but like a bit more like you become a bit i don't know

141

if the word is insecure

142

because i'm not gonna lie like for a very long time i didn't give a i didn't give a

143

and even now it's like right this instant i feel like i'm in the I don't give a fuck mood

144

but there's moments where I do give a fuck I'm like

145

oh why do I post this well why should I do this why should I do

146

that it's this is kind of weird because you start comparing okay

147

when you meet more people you start comparing especially in a city like New York

148

and sometimes like genuinely even now this is like open conversation

149

but sometimes I generally ask myself I'm like oh

150

when I see people like doing certain things I'm like oh I kind of want to do

151

that but I ask myself do I really want what they have

152

or is it just because what did I write down There was something that I wrote down.

153

Hold on.

154

I need to get my fucking journal, bro.

155

Oh, okay.

156

This is what I wrote down.

157

I said that.

158

Do I really want what they have or is it just because I don't have it?

159

Let me repeat that.

160

Do I really want what they have or is it just because I don't have it?

161

And I asked myself and I'm like, okay.

162

And I think like, do I want what they have?

163

Do I want that dress?

164

Do I want that invitation?

165

Do I want to be noticed by certain people?

166

Like, Do I want to look like her?

167

Do I want to like dress like the certain way?

168

Do I want to be,

169

you know, traveling all across the world?

170

Do I want to be on the show?

171

Like, like XYZ, whatever examples you can think of.

172

Like, do I want that?

173

Or is it just simply because I don't have it right now and I want it because of a fucking human greed?

174

But I think for me, I really thought within.

175

And I think it's not even the external thing.

176

It's internally.

177

I think I get sad or I get insecure when I see how confident girls can be.

178

And this sounds so fucking fucked up, I know

179

but it's generally I think about it because I'm like oh she looks

180

so beautiful xyz and I it makes me feel really shit about myself

181

and I'm like it's not because of them being at a fancy place

182

or getting whatever the external thing is it's more

183

so the within I feel

184

so envious of how confident they are these days I'm not

185

gonna lie I feel like I'm not very comfortable in my own skin as much as I want to be

186

and I'm like wow it's the confidence I get envious of the confidence sometimes I don't know

187

if the word is envious but I think that

188

when I see other girls very very confident and like being just

189

so confident in public it makes me realize how much i

190

don't want to be perceived i think it just shows how much i need to improve to get there

191

when i said that that makes me come to terms to things more like

192

when i try to describe my own emotions like things make sense

193

and i'm like okay this is something that we just have to fix

194

but at the same time makes me feel really bad

195

because it's very hard to differentiate between like do i really want this

196

or is it just because i'm being avoidant and it's just something

197

that i don't want to get out of my comfort zone

198

and And something that I found online was that this is what they said.

199

This is what you call relative deprivation.

200

The sense that someone else's success highlights that you lack,

201

even if you didn't care about it before.

202

It's not always genuine desire.

203

Sometimes it's the discomfort of being reminded you could be doing more or that someone's path seemed clearer than yours.

204

So they said that try asking yourself this.

205

Would I still want what they have if no one could see it?

206

Would it still feel fulfilling if it didn't look impressive online?

207

And if the answer is no,

208

then it's probably comparison talking, not true desires

209

and I think for a lot of things you don't know what you want that's another thing

210

which is why I like to try out a lot of different things for myself even

211

if I'm not good at it I'll try it out

212

because I never know what might happen and the thing is

213

that I feel like back then when I tried things I wasn't scared

214

because there was like there was a goal like me now

215

was probably what my college self would want to be I'll be

216

so fucking for real like I'm literally living in New York

217

and that was something I've always wanted to do

218

and I think back then I didn't give a fuck because I couldn't afford to give a fuck.

219

I didn't care.

220

I was like, oh, this is gonna be cool.

221

Like I romanticized this entire life.

222

And then now that I'm here,

223

I feel like I don't want to sound corny when I say this,

224

but I feel like I've gotten to a point where I'm like,

225

okay, this is where I wanted to be.

226

And sometimes I forget that.

227

Sometimes I forget that.

228

Sometimes I'm still in the college mindset sometimes and I'm like, what the fuck?

229

And I feel like that drive back then,

230

like I was not scared.

231

Like I didn't give a fuck because I was like constantly chasing and chasing.

232

But now that I'm here,

233

it just feels like I don't know what I'm chasing.

234

And then I start getting a little scared because back then

235

when I try out different things I'll be honest like nobody was really watching

236

but now that there's like people watching it's a little scarier I'm like oh okay

237

but it's like I think

238

that compared to a lot of people I probably like really don't give a fuck on like the shit

239

that I post you know like I post embarrassing shit like

240

I really don't give a fuck I think just being in a way like my quote-unquote authentic self

241

or just how I just act it makes me feel fulfilled it makes me feel happy

242

and it's like I also just want to add

243

that like I feel super super blessed to be accepted by you guys like genuinely I remember

244

when I first started making content I didn't really feel like

245

I belong like you guys genuinely made me feel like I belong like there's people who are actually like me

246

and then I can actually sit here and talk about certain things

247

and you guys listen and you guys think similar to me

248

and that makes me feel very very blessed sometimes

249

because of you guys I feel oh yeah I definitely one in life like you guys are the best

250

but it's also just like

251

when you compare yourself like people are always like comparison the thief of joy i agree with

252

that but i also do think that

253

when you compare it is also a way to grow to get better like

254

when you're interacting with a lot of different people your sense

255

of what you see becomes wider as in like you see the possibilities of a lot of different things

256

that you never really thought of before and that's very important

257

because let's just say like you're a fucking fish right

258

when you're fucking fish in a small pond you don't see what's outside right

259

so it's very important to get uncomfortable and

260

when you get uncomfortable i think that

261

that is also how you grow you know there's a reason why it's uncomfortable like it really tests you

262

and it makes you feel like you're not doing enough

263

but it's like the moment when you realize that that's

264

when you also become more that's when you realize

265

that oh maybe i lack this lack

266

that see i don't use the word lacking

267

but it's just like there's another possibility for you out there

268

that you can achieve okay that you did not know before you're uncomfortable now because this is not something you're used to.

269

But like I said before at the beginning,

270

that just means that you're just on time, okay?

271

Because if this was something that you are like super comfortable with and you just never did it before,

272

that just means you're a little fucking late because like, what the fuck?

273

Like you might as well do it.

274

Like what the heck?

275

If you're comfortable with this and you're fine with this,

276

you might as well do it.

277

But if you're uncomfortable, that just means that the timing is perfect and you can just start right now.

278

I believe that we only live once.

279

This is my personal belief.

280

You don't have to have the same belief as me,

281

but this is my personal belief.

282

You only live once genuinely make this life yours okay i

283

mean it whoever's judging you do they pay your rent are

284

they paying your fucking bills babe like who gives a fuck you have to live this life as your own

285

because i think like it's so such a blessing

286

that we get to experience this life at this specific timing

287

you're probably not going to be here within 100 years you're probably not going to be here

288

because i think it's such a regret to be you know

289

when you're laying on your deathbed

290

and you're just like oh i could have been doing this i could have been doing

291

that you might as well be fucking and embarrassing

292

and do some stuff where people are gonna talk about

293

because trust me i don't know i feel like people who say

294

that people don't talk about people i think we should just accept

295

that yes people are going to talk about us but

296

so what yes people are going to talk about us

297

but they're fucking pathetic losers like we're out here trying to make better versions of ourselves testing our limits

298

and putting ourselves out there and they just be talking shit

299

but honestly we probably need people talking shit about us

300

because those are the fucking haters and haters be fans

301

if people are talking about you you're probably doing something right okay babes

302

so yes people are gonna talk about you okay i don't

303

know this might be an unpopular opinion i don't know people fucking say this

304

but i live with the mentality people are gonna talk shit it might be a very pessimistic thing

305

but whatever you want to believe in i just think

306

that people not talking about you is kind of unrealistic

307

because you know there's always haters out there

308

and i don't think it's necessarily a bad thing

309

because it's just reality especially when you do something

310

that where a majority of people don't do people are going to say things

311

and you know they might be right they might be wrong who the fuck knows

312

but all you really do know at the end of the day

313

which is kind of the sad reality is

314

that you just live your own life this life is yours

315

you do certain things you face the consequences of it

316

but i think that everyone should be wanting to improve their lives

317

so if you think

318

that something's going to genuinely improve your quality of life do it you know do it

319

and you have to remember

320

when you become a certain version of yourself you're going to attract people who are like you

321

and i think i've said this before it's also you're gonna attract people who i really hate to say this

322

but sometimes they put a little disguise as your friend they're those people

323

that you know that they're just friends with you but you know

324

that they secretly don't like you and those instances it really sucks

325

because it's like that gets exhausting and it really sucks

326

because it really makes me just not even want to talk to people anymore

327

because you feel it's a sort of energy that you know

328

that they're not happy for you

329

and you're gonna attract a lot of those people that's why be smart with who you hang out with

330

and my advice is always keep your circle small okay you

331

rather have a few close friends than a bunch of fucking

332

acquaintances a friend to all is friend to none okay

333

and i live by that

334

because to me it just feels like there's no backbone i generally think

335

that you can only build meaningful friendships when you can genuinely invest time

336

and energy into each person when you have a lot of people you cannot invest all

337

that energy into everyone you know it's just not possible So be wise with the people that you hang out with.

338

I also want to say that it is okay for,

339

let's say that you have certain goals, right?

340

Especially when you start comparing to people.

341

When you have certain goals and your goals change, they shift.

342

I think that's very normal,

343

especially if you're a person,

344

you're fucking going to evolve.

345

And also you're getting older.

346

Of course, the things that you want is going to evolve.

347

But I think it's also very important.

348

You know, this is going to be open conversation.

349

You guys can disagree with me on this.

350

It's also just like, remember what your child self wants.

351

Some people might say that,

352

well, you're just saying that because you want to stay within your comfort zone.

353

That could be it.

354

But I also don't think it's wrong to be within your comfort zone sometimes.

355

It makes you feel safe because I feel like if you're constantly feeling unsafe and constantly stressed,

356

it's, I don't think that's good for your mental health.

357

You have to sometimes just be comfortable and feel safe and also protect your inner child, right?

358

I think it's good to have a balance of pushing yourself bit by bit,

359

but also be comfortable and doing things where your child self would have wanted

360

because that I think brings a lot of joy.

361

Like the other day I literally built my projector and I'm just sitting in my bedroom.

362

I'm lying in my bed watching,

363

looking at the wall, watching the projector, watching cartoons.

364

Because back then I didn't get to watch a lot of like American,

365

like mainstream cartoons as a kid because we didn't have the channels to watch it.

366

So now that I have that,

367

I'm like, that's so good.

368

And literally I get to call takeout now because I'm an adult.

369

I mean, these are things that just generally brings me a lot of joy.

370

So I'm saying like, even when you compare yourself,

371

just make sure to not lose track of who you wanted to be as a kid.

372

Like you just constantly have to ask yourself,

373

when as a kid certain things would make me happy chances are those things will probably still make you happy

374

so sometimes make sure to just tap into that

375

and make sure you're fulfilling that to make yourself feel better

376

so yeah that's just something

377

that i just wanted to pop in here i know that's like a whole jumble of thoughts

378

but that's just something that's been going on in my head lately

379

that kind of journaled about and maybe you guys might find it relatable

380

and it might get you guys thinking too

381

but anyway guys i hope you guys like this journal entry let me know what you guys think

382

and i'll see you guys all very very soon okay bye Talbot

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.
