シャドーイング練習: Not Everyone Deserves Access to You - 動画で英語スピーキングを学ぶ

Hi guys, welcome to or welcome back to another video.

Today we have a pep talk.

I know that you guys really like my pep talks, so I wanted to get comfy and sit here

and just chat about something that I've been wanting to dive into for a little bit.

I wanna talk about the fact that not everybody deserves access to you.

Everybody's welcome here on this channel, okay?

I don't care who you are, I don't care if you're a guy, a girl, a gay, they, whatever, I don't care who you are, but I am a girl, so I'm gonna be kind of,

you know talking to the girls about dating and men

and all that stuff

but anyone is welcome here okay my whole life i've been the type of person

that has always longed to have

so many friends i have always wanted big friend groups i have struggled

so much with friendships with female friendships

and i think i've just reached a point where i've realized

that having a small circle is just the way to go

about it i love sabrina carpenter i love her music

and it's so cute

that she flies out her friend Paloma who's just like you know got a regular job

and this is like her best friend and she flies her on tour with her and everything.

I feel like she would be friends with a lot of people

that she works with and her dancers and people on her team

and stuff but like ultimately she's worked so hard on her career.

I'm not trying to be parasocial and say I know everything about her life

but I'm assuming from what it looks like on the outside I feel like she's just

so focused and so locked in and just friends with like people

that she works with and then she's got like her staples

and her sisters and stuff i feel like it's like this for a lot of actresses

and singers i mean at least that's kind of the world

that i'm in and that's kind of who i look up to

and i've realized i can achieve everything i want without having

a million friends i don't actually need to have a million friends everybody's different

and what i say that works for me might not work for you

but i have realized that stepping back

and taking this pressure away from myself like

that pressure of oh my god you need to have a girl group

and you need to have this and that and like all these friends

and blah blah no it's like babe literally just be more grateful what the hell i have good friends

and maybe they don't all live in the same city

but i have good friends and more importantly i'm locked in i'm working towards things

that i want to do lately i've been trying to romanticize my life a lot

and so i've been trying to tap into different things that I want to do.

I really want to get into acting classes potentially

just because I really love that world of like musicians

and actors and like I just I love that stuff and I really really want to tap into that.

I also feel like it would be a good use of my time like

if anything it might just make me feel more confident in general and whatever so I want to try acting classes.

I'm also doing singing lessons.

I want to get into ice skating lessons like I'm just

trying to like really have hobbies outside of what I do I can just be at home working constantly

and like never leave the house and and not make friends

and I have struggled I'm not going to lie with making friends

and recently I went through a bit of a friendship breakup

and this person threw that in my face

and was like you know no wonder you don't have many friends

and that made me feel really sad and then I thought about it

and I was like no I choose to be picky with who is in my life

because the thing is you are who you hang around so

if i wanted so many friends then i could have

so many friends i'm just picky okay and this friend

that i'm telling you guys about where we had

that friendship breakup she's actually not really doing much with her life

but like she has a lot of people around her

and she's always like going out and doing stuff

but like for me i don't have as many friends my friends are kind of like scattered around the world

and like when i'm back home i don't really have

that many people to hang out with

and i'm also just very picky maybe this is just me

but i've always wanted friends

that feel really special like wow you you are one of a kind i've always been

that kind of girl okay if you're not valuable i don't want it maybe

that sounds awful but it's like when i'm at the beach okay

if i want to like collect some shells to take home

as souvenirs i'm not just going to go for the first one i'm going to like go through

and find like better ones and i just i collect my friends

and i make sure that there are people that add so much value into my life, otherwise I don't want them.

And so all these people that you see on your Instagram feed, right, that have a million friends and are going out all the time, I guarantee if you sat them down and asked them like,

so what's happening, like how's life, you know, how's your job whatever like they're probably lacking in one of those departments

because if you are so social and constantly like social

and going out

and whatever then something else would be lacking you can't be killing it in all departments

and also just like the title of this video not everybody deserves access to you

and just because you don't have a million friends doesn't mean

that you are not valuable in fact you are more valuable

a lot of people will only want to be around

when you have something to offer them when life is good okay

when life is shit and you're broke and you're depressed

and you've lost a loved one think about

that okay i know it's like such a depressing thought but

if you lost a loved one okay and then

that sent you into like a spiral

and you were just like in a really bad way who

in your life would be there for you who would pick up the phone who would sit with you

and let you cry to them who would be there for you who would care

so much like that okay anybody else cut them out

and i'm not saying cut them out as in like oh

my god never talk to them again no just like you don't have to be pouring

that much energy into those people people are weird

and people have weird intentions and like i'm sorry

but i don't believe that you can have like 50 friends

100

that you know plans every single day with a new person and know exactly like their heart and their intentions.

101

It takes time to really know somebody.

102

And with all of my best friends, I've known them for years.

103

And those friendships really built over time.

104

And, you know, I gained trust for them and everything.

105

And that's kind of all you need.

106

Like if you have one amazing friend or one sibling that you love and hang out with, just one person that listens to you and cares about you, then you're killing it.

107

Everything else you need is just within you.

108

Like you really can make your dream life happen, honestly.

109

there's only so much energy that you have to give why don't you save some of

110

that for yourself i want to talk about a few things

111

that i've changed about my mentality

112

that i feel like puts me on a different level one thing

113

that i love is the saying not wanting something is as

114

good as having it example i used to want a million friends

115

and like friend groups and people that could just like come over

116

and hang out and blah blah blah like that's just i'm a social person

117

I'm willing to wait for that and

118

because not wanting something is as good as having it sometimes I've really thought about it

119

and I came to this conclusion that

120

if I was doing like acting classes singing lessons ice skating like just filling my time with different hobbies

121

and saving up you know working hard saving for travel just really locked in

122

and focused on my goals I feel like

123

that feeling would almost be better than the feeling of having

124

a million friends it's just about figuring out okay where am i lacking in my life

125

and how can i pour into myself so that i'm not feeling

126

that way about that one thing

127

if you feel like oh i don't have many friends what

128

can you do to improve your life in other ways instead of sitting around

129

and just waiting for friends trust me honey the friends will come

130

and go especially when you're working on yourself especially

131

if you go out

132

and you do hobbies like that's just that's how you meet people it's the exact same thing with girls

133

that that want a relationship

134

so bad this might be a hot take i'm not saying

135

this makes you like a loser okay i'm not judging

136

but like i feel like if you're young

137

and in your 20s why are you on a dating app i know it's fun to like go on dates

138

and stuff but

139

if you really think about it most of the guys on

140

dating apps are kind of like like i just feel like

141

high value people meet each other in person you can fill

142

your time by yourself i'm sure you have a lot of different things

143

that you want to get into i'm sure there are a

144

lot of places you want to travel i'm sure you want

145

to make more friends like whatever you know that's not your

146

dream love story you met them on a dating app i

147

know it might sound harsh i actually personally genuinely do not judge

148

that i don't think it's a problem

149

if you want to be on a dating app you want

150

to have fun you want to go on a date every once in a

151

while just to boost your confidence but

152

if you are coming at it from like a desperate place

153

and it's less about i just want to feel good

154

and go on a date once in a while

155

and it's more about I really need a boyfriend because I want to feel loved that needs to stop.

156

I genuinely believe that the feeling of loving someone or loving something is so much better than being loved.

157

That feeling of when you admire something and love something so much, that is a special feeling and that doesn't have to be a relationship.

158

You can love anything else.

159

You can fill your time with other things i just don't

160

want you to be sitting there desperate for a relationship

161

or for something to work what are you gonna do like

162

force it to work you can't that's embarrassing it's desperate you

163

don't want to be desperate i want to talk a little bit about dating

164

if you are dating somebody these are my rules okay it's

165

kind of all tied into the topic of like don't give people

166

so much access to you these are my rules no building a man projects i don't care

167

if you're dating a girl apply the same advice works for everyone

168

but i'm just going to talk about men

169

because i unfortunately date men just kidding there are some good ones out there no bread crumbing allowed consistency

170

or nothing period i don't even you know what i can

171

just end the pep talk here bye just kidding i'm not going to when i say no bread crumbing

172

can we just take a deep breath and you know what it doesn't matter

173

if you are in a relationship maybe you need to hear this for whatever reason

174

or even if you don't need to hear it maybe it's advice

175

that you can give to your friends okay so stick around no breadcrumming

176

if someone really likes you they'll show up for you they're

177

not going to be like oh you know i'm just not really like looking for a relationship

178

but like you and i like we've got a good thing going

179

if we keep hanging out and like you keep coming over we keep sleeping together

180

and blah blah then you know you never know like a

181

man could change shut the hell up ew you don't want

182

that no bread crumbing no ignoring red flags somebody said something to me

183

and you know what's funny i don't think that they realize

184

that i think about this to this day

185

but i genuinely think about this to this day which is

186

so funny um because they just said it to me randomly so this person i know was like to me

187

I really believe when people tell me who they are.

188

She's like, you know, if somebody says to you, oh, you know, I'm quite a competitive person.

189

She said that she remembers that because it's like somebody is literally telling you who they are and believe that, you know?

190

Everybody has flaws.

191

But when it comes to picking someone to date, like a partner, I feel like you really need to take the red flag serious, okay?

192

They will show you exactly who they are.

193

If a guy says to you, oh, you know, in the past, like I've just had like a lot of trouble, being loyal blah blah and then they're following a million girls on instagram

194

and just giving you all the signs

195

that they clearly are not looking to like lock in

196

and really give you the attention that you want believe that

197

but then this is the problem is sometimes girls will be like oh

198

but those are all the signs

199

but they're saying this words mean nothing babe words mean absolutely nothing you will show me exactly who you are

200

and i will figure it out within the first few days or weeks of knowing you.

201

I don't need to sit around and waste time.

202

If you sit with me and tell me, oh, I really like you and I really see this going somewhere, then you better have the actions to match those words

203

because I'm not going to believe you just based on the words

204

that you tell me because words are not good enough, babe.

205

I have so much to do in this life

206

and I'm not going to sit around here waiting for you to fulfill your promises, period.

207

I'm not doing it.

208

Next, no last minute plans.

209

I'm not even going to dive into this.

210

It's so straightforward.

211

No last minute plans.

212

If he's not planning, he's not prioritizing.

213

It's just bummy for you to be seeing somebody that only wants you to come over at night.

214

You get what I'm saying?

215

Like they really need to plan it and consider you and wanna hang out with you, especially hanging out during the day.

216

If I'm seeing someone, they need to be so obsessed with me that they literally wanna like go for walks with me.

217

They wanna like meet me for coffee and then pay for the coffee.

218

And I'm not saying they have to pay for everything.

219

I'm not materialistic like that.

220

I have my own.

221

I can pay for things myself too, but I just want them to be like really really wow

222

obsessed with me okay that's just my type everybody has a type don't judge me for my type

223

if your type is chasing after a guy

224

and only going over at 10 p.m

225

because he calls you late at night to see you that's your type that's not my type I know

226

that nobody wants that nobody wants that because it's not cute

227

when you're talking to somebody no last minute plans not in the beginning stages

228

when you're talking to them you want them to plan it

229

you want them to want to hang out with you it has to be like a mutual push

230

and pull you know what i mean not like you just

231

please please give me your attention that's just ew ew ew it's sending out the energy

232

that you are lacking okay no honey we need to be

233

in our feminine energy you need to let somebody chase you let them feel

234

that sense of urgency of like if i don't put in everything to try

235

and win this girl over somebody else will because this girl is

236

so fine on her own she's

237

so independent she does not need me i am lucky to be talking to her

238

because they are lucky honey i'll tell you

239

that this is for friends boyfriends whoever they are lucky i don't care

240

if i had this friendship breakup with this friend

241

right that was like to me oh you don't have many friends i know

242

that when they go to sleep at night they know

243

that i really value myself i really respect myself

244

and anybody in my life is a high value person anything

245

that i'm doing is high value you're not going to see

246

me out here begging for friendships begging for relationships i know she knows

247

that she can say whatever she wants about me

248

but one thing she could never say about me

249

and believe it is you know luma's just like she's bending

250

over backwards for people blah blah it's not me babe it's

251

not my character people are always going to talk about you

252

but one thing

253

that you don't want them to say about you is like

254

she just like does too much for the person she's dating

255

you ever heard of a girl that's like oh yeah like her man cheated on her

256

and she still stayed you don't want to be

257

that person you want to have respect for yourself you want to value yourself without these things you have nothing

258

so let's start with those things first respect valuing yourself boundaries having good boundaries

259

when you have good boundaries you don't lose yourself i have lost myself a few times in relationships

260

and friendships in certain work things like i've just really lost

261

sight of like what i actually want i feel like being in your 20s at any age really

262

but like especially being in your 20s is just so turbulent

263

and exhausting and I find that sometimes

264

when I'm around certain people I can really lose myself I lose sight of my goals

265

and my dreams and what I want

266

and I just I can't afford to do that and

267

so you have to have good boundaries and you have to understand

268

that like somebody who really loves and cares about you will always understand

269

that you have your own life

270

and things to fulfill it's not just about them you are

271

the star of your own movie you are not a side character in your own movie

272

and i know it's very simple cliche advice

273

but i feel like sometimes even i need to remember this i have to respect myself

274

and i have to have good boundaries

275

if somebody does something to cross a boundary you need to pick it up

276

and leave i don't care how sad you are i don't care you will figure it out you know why

277

because we always do look at us we're all still here

278

if i sat all of you down right now

279

and you were all in front of me

280

and i said you you you tell me about the hardest thing you ever had to go through

281

and you tell me a story at the end of it i'd say

282

but did you get through it though yes you did you always do we always do

283

so i need you to understand

284

that it's very important to have respect for yourself now

285

if i got cheated on tomorrow and i had to leave my relationship

286

and i had to pack all my things and start again

287

and move out of course i would be heartbroken of course

288

i would be devastated are you kidding me i'm allowed to feel sad i'm a human being

289

and honestly sometimes i'm quite sensitive i'm a libra

290

and as as cutthroat as I am I can be very sensitive

291

but one thing that I have is I have respect for myself and I have good boundaries.

292

I think everybody that has ever been in my life regardless of if we are still friends or not knows this.

293

I would never give someone access to me if they don't deserve it so why are you doing that?

294

I would rather walk away from a person or a friend

295

that treats me like shit and go find a better friend because I truly believe that they're out there.

296

I truly believe in this world of 8 billion people and

297

so many different careers and cities to live in

298

and things to do I can find the life

299

that makes me happy why am I going to stay

300

and put up with friends or a life

301

that makes me feel like shit you know what I mean

302

so yeah that's today's video I hope you guys liked

303

that little pep talk um I love you guys so much

304

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。
