Shadowing Practice: You are a clown - Learn English Speaking with Video

and i get asked this question

so basically i am just having a great night wrapping it up

and one of my followers she messaged me she's like hey

we went on a couple of dates um after those two weeks he basically ghosted her

so he didn't reply anymore when she sent something

and he doesn't want to like you know reach out whatever she basically said he ghosted me right

so she already sent something he ignored it whatever he doesn't

want to see her anymore she asked me liz do you

think i should ask him why he ghosted me what did

i do to you guys like no honestly like what did

i do to deserve this what is this what is this

behavior i do not get it you are telling me this

man did not even find you worthy of a reply

and you want to ask hey why did you not find

me worthy of a reply is it like is it a

game like i don't know are we playing a game like

how much more can you embarrass yourself like i don't know

was was the was the whole ghosting not good enough for you

no no i'm being serious no you know what actually let's

no come here come what are we gonna send him like

what exactly is the message please please enlighten me what is

the message is it why did you ghost me hey question

mark i don't get it what what are we sending here anyways instead of um

texting him

when you're on your phone anyways uh i want you to

go to um a shoe site yeah like any shoe site whatever w shoe.com

and uh click your pair like your shoe size whatever

and i want you to find a clown shoes yeah uh

when you find the clown shoes i want you to take them

and put them on because that's what you that's literally what you are you're just a clown

and you know what matter of fact

while you're at it wait one second i have this lovely oil it's from uh look at

that basically you can what you can do is you spray on your hands right oh it smells

so nice you rub it inside of your hands

and then actually you send that message of course you take the guy's feet right

and you start massaging it ghosting is one of the most

disrespectful thing a person can do to I'm not like I'm literally being serious here

unless of course there are these scenarios somebody has a mental illness

somebody his mom died or he died

or she died I don't know whatever you guys always like to be like oh yeah

but there's people that are ill blah blah okay yeah there's people

that are ill I'm talking about a normal healthy person right a healthy person

that you were communicating with and

that all of a sudden went blank sees your message doesn't

want to answer doesn't want to give you any explanation how disrespectful is that

and i've been ghosted once in my life uh by this

guy i was talking to he did not even live in my country um

but we were talking and whatever

and all of a sudden he ghosted me he probably went to his other girlfriend

or whatever i don't care listen listen i asked hey like i tried to send him

and i asked like hey why did you ghost me listen

listen i yeah me i do embarrassing things for you

so you guys can learn from my mistakes don't do it

because you know what i didn't get any answers nothing you

know what i did afterwards i i literally changed my phone number

and sometimes when i lay in bed i think about that

and i think wow wow liz

that was an impressive moment in your life it comes off

so desperate like how desperate are you to be like hey

listen i know i'm not even worthy of an explanation

but i still want you wow you know what to be honest like

if if you do behavior like this every time listen

listen you are going to send someone whether it's a girl

that goes to you or a guy whatever if you are gonna send

that person hey why did you ghost me

or double text them please please do not say

that you know me do not say

that you subscribe to me do not say that you watch my channel

because i'm embarrassed i'm literally embarrassed because there's all ain't no way ain't no way

that my subscribers do behaviors like this we do

when somebody goes us um we don't do anything okay listen

to me listen people will ghost you in life this is

normal i got ghosted a lot of people get ghosted whatever this is normal you're maybe not his match

or her match uh they didn't feel the vibe anymore they

have somebody else's interest uh there's someone else in the picture

so many reasons so many things maybe they don't even want a relationship

so you have to go into things thinking

that thinking like hey listen this might not work out

but that's okay because there's so many other people

so many other chances that do want me and

that i am good enough for and you know what

if i don't even want someone that's fine too

because i enjoy my own company as well always have to go into dating knowing

that you know people date other people especially in this day and age

you know what your issue is with you people you guys

like to fantasize you meet someone you're like oh wow i'll

marry this person i'll have seven children with them no no

that is not reality hey keep being real in your head

just think like hey listen this might work out this might not work out

if it does work out fine

if it doesn't fine i don't care who likes desperate people

please please who likes desperate people show me one person that likes someone that's desperate I mean, narcissists like desperate people.

They do because you're easy to manipulate and they like that.

You're like feeding their ego that you're like chasing after them.

100

That's what they love.

101

So especially if you're if you've been ghosted, you know what?

102

The best thing to do is just ignore them.

103

Ignore them.

104

Act like you didn't even realize you were ghosted.

105

Oh, your life, amazing without, there's this guy that I, uh, used to watch on YouTube, his name is, um, R.C.

106

Blades Jr., I think, and he basically told the story of, uh, when his wife and he were, like, together when they were younger,

107

whatever, he basically, uh, he broke up with her, right, and he said, like, look, this is not something that I want, like, I don't want to marry you, whatever

108

when he broke up with her she never reached out to

109

him again she did not text him she did not call

110

him she didn't do anything he said i was shocked he said i was shocked she did not care

111

so that made him want to chase her even more

112

because she has this aura of like okay

113

if it's not you someone else you know what she didn't said she started dating someone else

114

and as well you people settle for like anything like literally

115

like oh my god he texts me good morning please please

116

that is so embarrassing like literally when you have women over here

117

that get like crazy cars

118

that get houses whatever it's not even about being materialistic to be honest

119

because like somebody cannot might not afford that

120

but they give their time they give their love they try to do as much as they can

121

and they really put in effort

122

and you you are being ghosted you're being ghosted please just

123

don't talk to me don't talk to me i know i just know

124

that you want to post quotes being like

125

if you're not even worthy of a reply then don't think that you're worthy to have me in your life

126

who cares like who genuinely cares about your stupid quote

127

no tell me who cares then like you start like posting really like provocative things

128

or like a lot of stories you having fun going out

129

please act normal please just please act normal this person does not want you don't you get it

130

If a person wants you, you know, and they're going through something or whatever, at least they have the respect to tell you they either

131

like will be in a like a kind of break that will be off social media, whatever they will tell you.

132

If a person even remotely respects you and is normal and wise enough, they will say, hey, listen, I don't feel like this is working and they'll communicate it.

133

if a person does not respect you at all has zero zero zero respect they'll just ghost you

134

if anything aren't you mad why are you trying to text them and be like hey why did you ghost me

135

girl that just focus on yourself and

136

if you want to date date other people why are you

137

only dating one person i don't get it like why is literally one person your only option

138

so that one person and then one person goes to you?

139

Really?

140

That's your only option?

141

What is that?

142

Desperate, everything runs from you.

143

Like imagine a guy that is constantly chasing you.

144

Who's ever interested in that guy?

145

Nobody is.

146

A guy that's, a girl that's constantly chasing a guy.

147

Like the men that watch my channel.

148

Are you ever interested in that girl?

149

No, nobody is.

150

Even like if you go somewhere and like these annoying people

151

that are constantly wanting wanting you to buy stuff

152

and like they don't leave you alone they're the desperation you

153

don't want to buy from them it's annoying just realize

154

that hey listen sometimes people are not your match sometimes people are not interested

155

and that's okay let them be why do you care why

156

do you care they're not the last people on earth you

157

know how many people there are you haven't even met people at all you're just like what waiting for

158

that one person holding on to

159

that one person are you the only way you can now save yourself

160

and not be a clown is by not replying anything not posting anything just go on like you were before

161

and act like you didn't even realize hey let them ghost

162

you what like that's it it just a ghost okay whoa whoa

163

so special listen to me because i don't think you guys get it

164

if they wanted you you would know ain't no way

165

that a person when they want someone else or they

166

when they want something that they will not make it known you would know you're confused

167

because they don't want you listen

168

if the ghost comes back right after like three weeks

169

when his little fling didn't work out

170

and they're basically like hey i'm sorry i was sick

171

or oh my grandma died and whatever

172

and you know he's lying um make him pay make him seriously pay for something buy you something

173

if he wants to see something like again

174

if you're like you know what if they come back

175

because they always do if they come back

176

and um they basically you don't want to talk to anymore

177

because you feel

178

so disrespected even better leave them alone you know this is your chance to go back

179

but i'm telling you if you're gonna reach out

180

and you're gonna be like why did you go speak i promise you either they'll show their friends

181

and they'll laugh together have a good laugh he'll show his new fling his girlfriend have a good laugh um

182

and he's not gonna respond to you or reach out but

183

if you just ignore and you just go on with your life watch him reach out

184

and if he doesn't who cares who cares

185

and then you have like these people that are like no

186

but you need to be grown

187

and communicate who's communicating with you that's the issue they're not

188

talking to you you're talking to yourself that's the issue what

189

we don't do is we do not reach out anymore we

190

go completely go you know ghost to ghost become a ghost

191

um we do not post sad stories pictures we do not

192

post happy things we just go on what what we're used to do you know like same thing uh

193

and we don't care we go on with our life we

194

date other people we become the best version of ourselves

195

and that's it we do not reach out and

196

if you do please please please uh stop being a clown and uh don't ask me this question again

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
