1
Let people be wrong about you.
2
Let them.
3
Letting people be wrong about you without you feeling the need to explain yourself, to prove yourself is really one of the most freeing and healing things you can do for yourself.
4
Trust me.
5
And in this video I'm going to teach you how you can do it, how you can become that person who doesn't care what anyone else thinks of you
6
and who is okay with not being liked by everyone.
7
Because you know what?
8
You can't be liked by everyone.
9
Even the best person on this planet is the bad guy
10
in someone's story okay there's nothing you can do about it
11
and still you waste
12
so much of your precious time trying to prove yourself trying to prove to other people
13
that you are the good person so
14
if you want to stop wasting your precious time then keep on watching this video
15
and don't forget to subscribe to my channel
16
and i would say let's start with the first thing you
17
cannot control someone else's perception of you you need to understand
18
that people don't see you as you are people see you through their lens through their lens
19
that means they see you through their experiences through their triggers
20
and through their insecurities okay
21
and this is also why five different people can have five different versions of you in their head
22
and if you always try to make everyone like you
23
and to control everyone's perception of you that's it's going to
24
be a full -time job it's going to be a full -time job
25
and a full -time job that doesn't get you anywhere
26
because it's impossible it's impossible okay you really need to understand
27
that just because someone has an opinion of you it doesn't make it the truth someone might think
28
that you are selfish because you did something
29
and the person interpreted what you did as being selfish okay
30
does it make it true no it doesn't make it true this person has
31
that interpretation of you but that doesn't make it true
32
and you really need to let go of
33
that need to control everyone else's perception of you really this is such a waste of time
34
because your job in this life is not to make everyone
35
like you to make everyone understand you your job is to
36
be true to yourself your job is to be your authentic self
37
and not to change yourself just
38
so you can be liked by everyone the next thing is
39
not everyone wants to like you okay you really need to realize
40
that not everyone wants to like you
41
so first of all you can't control their perception
42
and second of all there will be people who simply don't
43
want to like you no matter what you do some people
44
already decided who you are they created a version of you in their head
45
and they refuse to see anything else they refuse to see anything else
46
because they don't want to they simply don't want to
47
and those are also the people who only wait for you
48
to make a mistake to say something dumb to say something hurtful
49
because everyone makes mistakes okay but some people are only waiting for you to make mistakes
50
so they can justify why they don't like you
51
so you really need to make peace with not being liked by everyone
52
and also with the fact
53
that not everyone wants to like you no matter how good
54
you are the next thing is you need to stop defending
55
yourself okay you don't always have to prove your point you don't always have to prove
56
that you're a good person and to explain
57
when you're like in a fight with someone
58
and explain to them why they are wrong why you are right why you are a good person
59
and why they are unfair to you you don't have to do
60
that you can choose your piece and just let it go
61
and move on okay i recently had a situation where i
62
had a relationship with a person a friendship not a relation not a romantic relationship
63
and this person had very strict expectations of where our relationship is supposed to go okay
64
and i'm a person i'm like a go with the flow
65
kind of person i don't have expectations of where where a
66
relationship should go i just go with the flow okay
67
and i am also a person i don't open up very fast
68
and if i don't feel comfortable around you i won't open up
69
and this person got so hurt by me
70
because i did not put the same effort in this friendship as she did even though i always told her
71
that i need my time and
72
that i can't force anything okay i always told her
73
that i never lied to her and still just
74
because she expected something else she got so mad at me
75
that she said things to me that are very hurtful they didn't hurt me
76
because i know who i am okay but she said
77
so many mean things to me just because i didn't fulfill her expectations okay
78
and in the past i was a person
79
that always felt the need to explain myself i couldn't live with the fact
80
that people thought that i was a bad person
81
because i i'm not okay i'm not a bad person i'm a very good person
82
and i always felt the need to prove that to everyone okay
83
and you know what never not once in my life where
84
i got into an argument trying to prove my point trying to prove
85
that my intentions were good not once in my life i could change the other person's mind okay
86
never when someone as i said when someone has a version of you in their head
87
they don't want to change it
88
and you can't do anything about it you proving yourself
89
and you explaining yourself the whole time won't get you anywhere
90
so you really need to start being okay with people seeing you through their own eyes
91
and not feeling the need to um defend yourself okay well i don't mean not feeling the need okay
92
because i also felt the need to defend myself
93
but i didn't do it okay you need to have a little self -control
94
and if you notice that a person doesn't want to understand you
95
that you just let it be okay you just let it be
96
so i really learned to just protect my peace
97
and to not go into an argument to an argument with
98
someone who already created their version of me in their head okay
99
and to do that to just let it go and not argue
100
and not prove yourself you really need to develop a strong
101
sense of self you need to develop you need to have such a strong sense of self
102
that no matter what someone tells you you don't care you don't care okay
103
because you know who you are
104
when you know who you are other people's opinions lose power as i said this person said
105
so many mean things to me you're this you're dead you're not honest you're bullshit whatever
106
and it didn't get to me at all because i know
107
that it's not true she can say about me whatever she
108
wants it doesn't make it true it doesn't make it true
109
okay your character is not defined by the opinions other people have of you okay
110
and i don't mean don't ever listen to anyone
111
and everyone always wants bad for you that's not what i'm
112
saying you need to have some kind of self -reflection okay
113
and you need to be able to think about what someone says
114
when someone criticizes you in a good way you can think about it is
115
that person right and then you can if you need and
116
if you want to you can change it but
117
if someone just throws things at you
118
and wants to tell you who you are blah blah blah blah blah
119
and you know
120
that those things aren't true you don't have to make them your identity okay you need to be
121
so confident and so sure about yourself
122
that no matter what anyone else says it doesn't change anything
123
and the same goes with compliments actually when you know who you are
124
and when you're confident in yourself
125
and someone makes you a compliment it's nice it's a nice to have
126
but that compliment doesn't define you what you also need to understand is
127
that when you grow when you become a new version of yourself
128
when you outgrow your old self not everyone will like it okay that's very sad
129
but not everyone will like the new version of you
130
because they're not comfortable with you growing okay even
131
if those are your friends some people are just not comfortable
132
with you growing i know that's not easy to accept
133
but it is the truth that's how life goes
134
when you grow people might tell you you've changed
135
so much you're not the same anymore you think you're better than us now
136
and you know what this is the time you notice
137
that you have outgrown someone and that and
138
that this person is not meant to be in your life forever okay
139
because people who are actually meant for you will support you with anything okay even
140
if you change even if you're not the same anymore they know
141
that this doesn't have to be a bad thing okay the right people know
142
that you changing does not have to be a bad thing
143
and then they don't feel threatened by you changing many people
144
who say things like you're not the same anymore you think
145
you're better than me now blah blah blah they feel threatened by you
146
because you have become a new version you have become a better version of yourself
147
and they are just staying the same they're not getting anywhere
148
and this is why they feel threatened by you
149
when someone tells me you have changed
150
so much you're not the same anymore I see
151
that as a compliment okay I say thank you thank you
152
because I don't want to be the same I was five
153
years ago five years ago I was 20 I'm 25 now
154
I don't want to be the same person with 25 I
155
was at 20 that's not what I want out of this life
156
and if you feel threatened by me growing out and be
157
and becoming a better version of myself then you're just not the right person for me
158
and as I said I actually think this is a very sad thing
159
because I want people I like to grow with me okay I want them to grow with me
160
and that we grow together and even
161
if a friend of mine grows in a different direction than me I support them I support them
162
because I love them and I want them to be happy okay
163
and I don't feel threatened by someone choosing a different life path than I have chosen okay
164
so you need to understand even people
165
that were in your life for a very long time and
166
that you really like will not always want to see you grow
167
but on the other hand there will be right people who
168
are meant to be in your life who will support you with anything okay
169
and this is the beautiful part about it you will lose people
170
when you stop shrinking yourself just to be liked by everyone
171
and when you finally grow but you will also get to know new people
172
or you will realize who are the real people
173
that are already in your life and realizing this is actually
174
so beautiful because knowing that you have people in your life
175
that support you no matter what you do and no matter in
176
which direction you want to go and they don't judge you.
177
Those are the people you should really spend your time with.
178
You should really not spend your time trying to control people's perception of you, trying to be liked by everyone because what does it get you
179
when you try to change yourself just to be liked by people who don't even want to like you?
180
There's no benefit for you.
181
It's such a waste of time.
182
Instead, focus on the people who actually like you and who support you.
183
So that's it for today's video.
184
I really hope it was helpful and I would say I'll see you in my next one.

この動画は誰におすすめ？
英語のスピーキング力向上を目指し、特にIELTS スピーキング対策や日常会話での自然な表現力を磨きたい中級レベルの学習者に最適です。自己表現のストレスを減らし、shadow speech（シャドーイング）の練習でリズムとアクセントを身につけたい人にもぴったりです。動画の内容は心理的な解放にもつながるため、英語学習と同時に自己肯定感を高めたい方に推薦します。
覚えておきたいフレーズとイディオム
- Let people be wrong about you：「他人に自分について誤解させる」。自分を証明する必要なく、他人の誤解を受け入れる姿勢を表します。
- full - time job：「フルタイムの仕事」。ここでは「常に努力が必要なこと」として使われ、「他人の認識をコントロールするのはフルタイムの仕事みたいだ」という文脈で使われます。
- authentic self：「本当の自分」。嘘をつかず、自分らしくいることを意味し、「be true to yourself」（自分に誠実である）と組み合わせて覚えましょう。
アクセントを正確にするコツ
この動画のスピーカーは自然なアメリカ英語を話しており、英語シャドーイングの練習に最適です。特に「perception」「insecurities」「justify」などの長い単語では、アクセントの位置（例：perception）を注意深く聞き取り、shadowspeaksの方法で繰り返し真似しましょう。また、「Let them.」のような短い文では、文末のイントネーションが軽く下がることで、確信を持った表現になります。shadow speakの練習時には、スピーカーの息遣いやポーズも再現することで、より自然な発音が身につきます。
この動画の文法
話し手がよく使っている文型を、動画の実際の表現とともに紹介します。
| 文型 | 動画での表現 |
|---|---|
| 受動態 be + 過去分詞 — 誰がするかより、何が起きるかに焦点を当てる | being liked · can't be liked · can be liked |
| 関係詞節 who / which + 節 — 人や物について情報を加える | person who doesn · people who simply · people who only |
| 現在完了形 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去の出来事が今も関係している | you've changed · have become · have changed |
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
