Hi guys!
2
So, before we get into today's topic, I want to talk about something that I'm so excited about.
3
I've been working on this for so long.
4
This has been so, so highly requested.
5
I'm finally offering one -on -one coaching.
6
I don't want to call myself a coach per se.
7
Think of me as your online best friend.
8
I feel like I'm at a point in life where I feel really confident in my advice
9
and I feel very capable to help people with confidence and breakups and just navigating certain life things.
10
I mean, I just moved overseas by myself.
11
I feel very independent in this era of my life.
12
Also, if you scroll down on the website, I have a pep talk pack.
13
It's a small one -time purchase and you get a guided meditation by me,
14
a few episodes, and some journal prompts that I worked really hard on.
15
So if you guys are interested, go and check that out.
16
I love this little pep talk pack and I think you will too.
17
So yeah, I'm so excited.
18
My website is officially up.
19
It's advicewithluma .com.
20
So I'm doing like one -off sessions or like a four -week program
21
if you wanted to work with me every single week.
22
All of the details would be on the website and that'll be linked in the description.
23
Without further ado, let's get into the video.
24
My friend has a car rental company here, Sydney Exotic Car Hire.
25
I just wanted to plug that really quickly.
26
I just really love the cars that he gives me to drive and I'm very grateful.
27
He's such a great friend of mine.
28
So yeah, if you guys are ever in Sydney, you should definitely check them out.
29
Today's pep talk is about when chemistry is real but the commitment isn't.
30
I feel like social media can make us have really insane expectations from men i know i know
31
that sounds crazy from somebody that's always preaching like a certain standard
32
and that men should come correct and rah rah all
33
that stuff yes i do believe in all of that
34
but i also think
35
that social media does almost encourage us as women to have really insane expectations
36
i'm not spreading this narrative of like oh
37
if he doesn't pay for your rent first date throw him in the bin no i'm not saying any of
38
that the number one thing that I want to preach on here is
39
that in the beginning stages when a man is trying to become your boyfriend or impress you,
40
you know, they're really supposed to put their best foot forward.
41
If you're not even receiving basic commitment, then planning dates, then planning to see you, whatever, then what are we actually doing here?
42
You are getting dog walked.
43
I truly think a lot of women will fold
44
and bend over backwards for a man just based off of words and I hate that,
45
okay, because it really is all about the actions. In saying
46
that, I did want to preface at the start this video i don't personally have these ridiculous standards
47
that a man is supposed to pay for all this
48
and do all of
49
that like of course i want those things me personally like i'm not going to date some loser
50
that wants to split everything with me like i'm just not interested in that because
51
when i'm with my friends i swear
52
i become like a masked lesbian like i am paying for everything i just really love to do
53
that i love to look after people so in turn i want
54
that from a man okay because i know i can give it out and
55
so i want it i know what kind of woman
56
i am i know what I can offer I can really like build a man actually like around
57
and find out I can genuinely like help you with your business I can help you elevate
58
and grow I always say like I don't really cook like
59
that like I'm not gonna be out here chefing it up for a man
60
if you are love that for you
61
so much honestly I'm not passionate about cooking
62
but what I will do is around
63
and change your life okay
64
you're gonna be living in a beautiful house with me the energy is gonna be tea
65
you're gonna be spiritually in check okay your finances will be good
66
if they were good they're gonna be even better
67
because i know business i know what i have to offer
68
so i'm not gonna bend over and fold for some absolute loser
69
but in saying
70
that i did want to start off in preface there's a lot of like really insane you know expectations
71
and stuff being spread around on the internet i'm not here for
72
that what i'm here for though what i'm really strict on
73
and we run a strict program out here is actions over
74
words every day any day every second of the day
75
so let's get into that sometimes on tiktok i get comments
76
and it's usually from men and i just laugh at those comments
77
because they're like mad at what i'm spreading they're like oh
78
this advice is just you know like they're mad about it
79
and it's like i go into their profiles
80
and i just think you're just mad because i'm making it harder for you
81
because your lazy attempts to just bark your way into this woman's pants i'm making it harder for you
82
because the barking needs to stop i don't care
83
i don't care about the words you can say whatever you want you could come into my life
84
and make all of these claims about how you want to be together how you want to step up
85
you want to be my man you want to make my life better how show me how
86
because if you can't show me how like your word means to me actually situationships can really hurt
87
so much even more so than an actual relationship sometimes
88
because you have a lack of information your brain is
89
so creative we're so creative and we have such wild imaginations
90
that we will fill in the blanks for things
91
that we don't have
92
so for example like you don't have the feeling of this stable healthy happy relationship with this person
93
so you're going to convince yourself
94
that it actually could have been amazing i mean that's the whole thing right that's why it hurts
95
so much and so walking away can be especially difficult
96
when walking away from a situationship or you know just a short relationship
97
or a relationship that was full of so many highs
98
and all this chemistry especially
99
when somebody hasn't specifically mistreated you this video isn't really necessarily about you know going through a breakup
100
or moving on from somebody
101
that you were in a long -term relationship with it's actually about those short
102
and sweet situations where the person hasn't necessarily mistreated you, they haven't really betrayed you, maybe.
103
They're not an obvious villain, but you still don't have the dynamic or the relationship or maybe the respect that you want and that you deserve.
104
Like I said, there might not be one specific terrible thing that you can point to, but your intuition will never lie.
105
And we always mistaken the butterflies for cardiac arrest.
106
You might find yourself thinking, oh my God, he was such a good guy.
107
We had such great chemistry.
108
I'm
109
so attracted to him obviously it would be amazing to be in a relationship together no
110
that's not true you can have amazing chemistry
111
and this can still be a man
112
that doesn't want to commit to you is afraid to commit to you has commitment issues
113
and because there is this thing called the sunk cost fallacy
114
which is basically the irrational habit of keeping an investment
115
so example you're at the casino you've been sitting on the table for a
116
while and you're losing money and because you've already spent time money
117
and energy on this thing it's really hard to walk away especially
118
when you're down you haven't seen a return on your investment we keep tricking ourselves into believing
119
that you know at some point i'm gonna get everything
120
that i want out of this situation
121
and that's completely wrong you cannot make a mutual relationship happen by yourself
122
and walking away does not mean that you didn't care enough it doesn't mean
123
that you gave up too easily and it doesn't mean
124
that you're afraid of love it's actually the opposite you know what you want i I mean, life is too short.
125
I'm not gonna sit around here feeling anxious
126
and feeling this cardiac arrest feeling in my soul that this man is not the right person for me, that he's playing me.
127
Our relationship requires both people to choose it and you cannot choose it by yourself, honey.
128
I truly believe that the hardest relationships to walk away from are the relationships that feel so good in many ways,
129
but still leave an important need unmet.
130
Like something is not quite right.
131
And that's really difficult because some of us really struggle to trust our gut feelings and intuition.
132
What I will say is this is something you really need to work on because look, I'm not perfect.
133
I definitely ruminate and I make mistakes and I give people chances
134
that they maybe don't deserve sometimes and I'm not going to sit here online and preach things and be like,
135
I'm giving you this advice because I'm perfect and you should listen to it.
136
No, I'm giving you this advice because I've learned from my mistakes
137
and so I don't want you to make the same mistakes
138
but one thing I will say
139
if I'm going to give myself any credit is i really trust my intuition like you've never seen before
140
and i was in a situation recently where something was making
141
me feel a little bit anxious like i just didn't really have a good feeling about it it's
142
so crazy because i said to my friend i was like oh i really want this situation to work
143
but i don't feel good about it and i trust my intuition
144
so i was like damn that sucks because that means
145
that something's wrong that's how much i trust my intuition it's like
146
if i'm feeling this way something is not right i'm not being reassured in the way
147
that i deserve to be reassured you know what I mean you don't have to be heartbroken disrespected
148
or completely miserable before you give yourself permission to walk away from something like for me personally
149
this situation was just making me feel a bit anxious
150
and I'm not saying like go
151
and give up on something the second you're feeling anxious
152
but like okay
153
when you're speaking to a guy in the beginning stages
154
you shouldn't feel anxious you should feel like I know
155
I feel safe here this person isn't just going to leave me in the dark
156
they're not gonna play games like you should feel safe and if you don't feel safe.
157
It is completely f*ing simple.
158
That is not the right person for you.
159
Point blank period.
160
Trust it.
161
Don't play games with yourself.
162
Don't try and barter with yourself.
163
I feel like a lot of women will stay in a situation, a lot of people not just women,
164
not only because of the sunk cost fallacy like I said before.
165
They might subconsciously believe that this person should be intentionally hurting you for the situation to be disappointing enough to leave.
166
Unfortunately two people can like each other and still want different things.
167
One may be ready to build a relationship
168
and the other one might be afraid of commitment
169
or they want to date without the commitment you know what
170
that is totally fine and fair i'm not saying like if somebody doesn't want to be in a relationship
171
um they're an evil villain and death to them i mean unless
172
that person is like dealing with me then yes death to you no
173
but being serious like
174
that doesn't make this person a bad person it's just like have some self -respect
175
and be able to walk away from a person
176
that doesn't want the same thing as you
177
because what are we doing here
178
it is a complete waste of your time okay of course
179
this man wants you to talk to him every day wants
180
to be with you wants to have access to you you're a beautiful girl
181
you're one of one i don't care how many baddies
182
there are on the internet i really don't give a shit like truly i'm personally not settling for a guy
183
that doesn't want full commitment with me like that's not what i'm interested in i am attracted to a man
184
that is like actually almost obsessed with me like i can't even think
185
I think without having you like i need you kind of thing
186
you know what i mean like otherwise i'm not interested i'm flicking
187
that off i'm the type of woman you guys
188
i'm gonna let you guys in on something
189
i am a little bit crazy okay like crazy in like
190
a fun way like i'm not really gonna go through a man's phone purely
191
because i just feel like that's literally losing aura points
192
and i trust my intuition so i will find shit out like
193
if a man's cheating on me sooner
194
or later i'm gonna find out for sure
195
i don't have to go through your phone anyway my point to say
196
this is i know the caliber of woman that I am okay
197
so I'm not going to settle for a man
198
that wants access to me because he thinks I'm pretty and
199
because I'm fun to speak to
200
and you know just like wants to keep me
201
there just as it like just in case like an option
202
there are other girls who will be okay with this treatment
203
or who will bend and fold for a man
204
because he's good -looking because he's tall because he's rich
205
because whatever he has status I don't care it's never gonna be me
206
because there is always gonna be somebody else out there
207
that is good looking that is tall that is rich
208
that is whatever I will not bend over backwards for any treatment
209
that is anything other than a guy that is obsessed with me
210
and this is where I feel like my ego works with me in a good way
211
sometimes our egos work against us for sure maybe more so
212
but then there is that sweet spot you know where your ego kicks in
213
and is like no honey like this man is just not it like you need to go
214
and find better you need to go focus on yourself make
215
your own money go travel like the universe is abundant
216
and there's just too much to experience and to enjoy
217
so i'm not going to sit around here like feeling upset over a man
218
that doesn't want to commit to me i mean that's ew
219
that's ugly it's one thing to know what you deserve
220
when you're not emotionally invested into something
221
but it's another thing to honor what you want
222
when you are emotionally invested and
223
when you are attracted to somebody who is not offering
224
it I can be emotional I will be upset over things
225
if I like somebody of course but I'm always going to honor my boundaries
226
and I have a really good self -concept
227
and I know I'll be okay I have amazing friends I have a good life truly
228
and yeah like I would rather just like sit in silence for a little bit be in a little rut
229
and come out of it
230
and just be laughing making jokes with my friends be like remember
231
that guy remember that guy
232
and then like you know maybe
233
i meet somebody even richer who buys me a yacht one day i don't know i don't know
234
but i'm sure as shit not gonna get
235
that yacht sitting around here like going back and forth with a man
236
that wants to keep me as his like situationship whatever
237
that man's never gonna come correct for me
238
if i keep going back like he needs to feel my absence he needs to figure out the out
239
and come back to me
240
when he's serious what do i look like asking him about
241
other girls asking him what are we that's crazy by the way what are we
242
so what are we you need to want to be my boyfriend
243
and that's it period i'm ending the video here
244
i start yelling the car starts shaking no like what like
245
what is happening like actually what is happening listen girls they need to ask you to be together hello like
246
when i meet girls
247
and they're like oh we never really had the conversation what do you mean
248
you should be sweating there should be beads of sweat down your forehead
249
because you cannot live another day without making me your girlfriend why is anything else happening other than
250
that so don't you dare ask yourself what you might need to do
251
or what you could do for him to want to step up
252
and play that role i'm going to say something
253
and this is going to be a really tough pill to swallow
254
but a lot of us women will make a man's decision
255
not to commit to us about our appearance our personality our lovability oh my God, whatever.
256
It's the worst thing.
257
It'll really have you feeling like you have maggots in your brain.
258
We begin to tell ourselves that if we are more understanding, if we're more patient, if we offer them more,
259
whatever, if we show them that we're the perfect girl, we might eventually earn his commitment.
260
And that is wrong.
261
I don't encourage you to play games, but if you really like someone and you really want them to want you,
262
all you have to do is pull back
263
and let him do the heavy lifting men used to go to war I know
264
that this is said all the time but let me use that
265
and just explain something let me paint the picture
266
they used to go to war they like to solve problems
267
they do amazing things what did Elon Musk just do he just made a car fly
268
so you're telling me that this man cannot figure out in his own time
269
that maybe he fumbled you
270
and he needs to come correct girl bye why are you doing all the heavy lifting
271
because I feel like it would make sense for you to date girls
272
because like i think you'd be a really good boyfriend
273
so why are you doing this i feel like sometimes we overanalyze the man instead of the actual relationship
274
because a man can be really good looking really funny really smart you know a husband material he'd be somebody
275
that you have a lot of chemistry with someone
276
that you genuinely really enjoy being with you can meet a man with wonderful qualities
277
and still not have a relationship that fulfills you you should be feeling safe
278
and chosen and really excited and happy and
279
and just good really good a lot of the time in a new relationship especially and
280
if you're feeling this yearning you know
281
this feeling of like oh my god at any moment he could just ghost me
282
and leave me and ignore me or go dry on me
283
or choose someone else or whatever that's toxic it's actually quite a toxic situation
284
that you have yourself in let me ask you a very real question are you currently really enjoying this relationship
285
or are you tolerating certain things because you believe that there is potential for a relationship that you actually want?
286
Sometimes we're not choosing a situation for what it actually is.
287
We are choosing a situation based on the potential of what it could be.
288
You hear me?
289
Here's something reassuring.
290
You don't have to assume that he'll never be ready.
291
You don't have to assume that he'll never want to be your boyfriend
292
or want to come correct for you or that he'll never change his mind.
293
But you do have to make decisions based on today like right
294
now what is happening right now what are the actions showing
295
you right now walk away let the man chase you like
296
if he actually wants you if he actually wants to be your boyfriend
297
if he really sees the value in you if he sees
298
that you make him happy that you are a beautiful independent smart woman somebody
299
that he cannot come by again he needs to be able to put his pride to the side
300
and really chase you that is the role that is what they do
301
and i can sit here and receive and not just like receive
302
and nothing like i'm a good girlfriend i'm fun i'm fun i'm
303
so much fun i'm a happy person i have amazing friends
304
i travel like like i said i know what i offer
305
so it's not just about receiving
306
but it's like i am not doing the heavy lifting i am letting a man chase me
307
and if he doesn't want to chase me
308
if he has such a big ego
309
that he genuinely like can't put it to the side then that's not a man
310
that i want because if this is the beginning stages
311
and you're acting like this what is it going to be
312
like in a relationship with you am i going to discover halfway through
313
that i am a lesbian i'm speaking a lot about lesbians i love the lesbian community
314
but i'm saying like i might be one of you guys
315
because i can be out here doing the heavy lifting
316
and it needs to stop it needs to stop we need to collectively just stop
317
so yeah just remember his inability
318
or unwillingness to commit to you is not a verdict on your worth
319
and you can like a person and still walk away.
320
In fact, walking away gives you a higher chance of actually hearing from this man again, actually receiving what you want.
321
If there's going to be any chance of that happening, I'm not saying 100 % that's going to happen.
322
He may ghost you and never come back.
323
You'll be okay anyway.
324
But like I'm saying, if there is any chance of him actually being the right person and actually stepping up,
325
it is not going to be through you doing the most, trying to prove to him
326
that you are worthy of being chosen
327
it is going to be through you completely backing up completely
328
the backing up disappearing living your life not just to be performative actually living it actually feeling happy
329
and moving on and letting him figure out what he wants to do sit around in his pride
330
and date girls that are nowhere near you
331
but shit like easier for him
332
if that's what he wants then let him have it okay let him go find less
333
and you find more if that's what he wants
334
but yeah let's stop trying to decode men's feelings i hope
335
that this video made you feel good and helped you with your self -concept
336
and maybe helped you realize that you know you deserve amazing beautiful things
337
and don't forget i am offering coaching now i don't know how long

影片中的語法
說話人最常用的結構,並附上影片中的原話:
| 結構 | 影片中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 現在完成進行時 have/has been + -ing — 以前開始、現在仍在繼續的動作 | I've been working · you've been sitting · i've been filming |
| “used to” used to + 動詞 — 過去的習慣或狀態,現在已不再如此 | used to go |
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼,而不是誰做的 | be linked · being spread · being reassured |
| 現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事 | has been · hasn't specifically mistreated · hasn't necessarily mistreated |
需要注意的發音
說話人用了 175 次縮略和弱讀形式,例如 I'm, don't, you're。請按聽到的簡短形式來說。
- “sh” 和 “zh” 音: intuition /ˌɪn.tjuːˈɪʃ.ən/, anxious /ˈæŋkʃəs/, expectation /ˌɛk.spɛkˈteɪ.ʃən/, emotionally /ɪˈməʊʃənəli/, shake /ˈʃeɪk/
- 長單詞——注意重音位置: intuition /ˌɪn.tjuːˈɪʃ.ən/, genuinely /ˈd͡ʒɛn.ju.ɪn.li/, expectation /ˌɛk.spɛkˈteɪ.ʃən/, necessarily /ˌnɛs.əˈsɛɹ.ə.li/, emotionally /ɪˈməʊʃənəli/
中文母語者容易讀錯的音:
- /v/ — 不要讀成 /w/,上齒輕觸下唇: invest /ɪnˈvɛst/, villain /ˈvɪl.ən/, solve /sɒlv/, discover /dɪˈskʌvə/, narrative /ˈnæɹ.ə.tɪv/
- 詞尾子音 — 要讀清楚,後面不要加母音: commitment /kəˈmɪtmənt/, commit /kəˈmɪt/, anxious /ˈæŋkʃəs/, chase /t͡ʃeɪs/, bend /bɛnd/
- /r/ 和 /l/ 的區別: necessarily /ˌnɛs.əˈsɛɹ.ə.li/, ridiculous /ɹɪˈdɪk.jə.ləs/, grateful /ˈɡɹeɪtf(ə)l/, purely /ˈpjʊɹli/, rental /ˈɹɛntəl/
如何用這段影片練習
- 先完整聽一遍影片,不要開口,記下不認識的單詞。
- 先用 0.75 倍速逐句跟讀,熟練之後再回到正常速度。
- 錄下自己的聲音並與原聲對比,特別注意 commitment, intuition, chemistry 這類單詞。
什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
