When people ask me what my fears are, and what I'm scared of, I know they're expecting something tangible like clowns, needles, my credit card bill.

But I can't really attribute my fears to...single entities.

I look through a list of phobias and while some of them do seem scary on paper, I haven't really been directly exposed to them to know if I'd be scared.

I'm only scared by proxy because I know other people are like dinosaurs, a T-rex, for example.

I can't say exactly if I am scared of them, they are scary, portrayed by media, movies, and whatnot, but I've never been, or probably never will be confronted by an actual T-rex to give it a chance to scare me.

So, I don't know if I'm scared of 'em.

Does that make sense?

I mentioned way back in my bugs video that it was usually my job to cleanse our house of bug invasions because I'd be the only one indifferent enough to confront the bugs.

And I live in Canada. We're not exactly known for our killer bugs.

Sure, we have black widows but that's like one breed.

And you can easily distinguish them because they're fully black; — Du-uh!

With red marks on their abdomen and backs.

There are so many types of spiders here.

I can't just assume every single one is a black widow. That's RACIST!

I'd say I just have a general fear of... dying.

Well, I guess, more so the pain of the method that leads to death, which most of you can probably say for yourself as well.

I'm not scared of clowns, I'm scared of clowns that want to kill me.

I'm not scared of spiders, I'm scared of spiders that want to kill me.

I'm not scared of heights, I'm scared of the Earth's gravitational pull that's trying to kill me at all times.

Growing up, I've had a lot of my peers hospitalized for injuries, and I wonder why, I myself, have never been to the ER. Maybe, it was my lack of participation in a lot of sports but it might also be because I avoided doing dumb and dangerous stunts that most kids think to be impressive by their peers? Hey, you know what's impressive? Being healthy and uninjured. Damn, look at these hospital bills!

They say, "No pain —no gain?" I say, "No gain — no pain!" What's that, what's that? No bisc? Uh-uh, no risk! Fear is a survival instinct, which is why I think most of us can say, we'd survive in a horror film.

Uh? Ah? What was that?

Dom? Dom? Hello?

Yo, are you still in the abandoned hospital?

Wait, Dom? A-are you ok? Where are you?

Yeah, I'm fine. I-I never went in!

I saw something weird in the window and you said, "Hu-huh, it's nothing. Don't worry about it, Dom," and I said, "No-ho-ho-ho, thank you." Hu-huh? Th-then wh-who's been with me th-this whole time?

You're making it real hard not to say 'I told you so'.

I have this technique for watching horror movies to make it seem like I'm "fearless".

When I think there's a scary part coming up, I shift my focus to one of the corners of the screen.

My peripheral vision can still see the rest of the screen, kinda, but it's out of focus, so I can't really process enough of the image to really be scared.

I mean I can tell it's scary because of the audio and the screaming so, I can only imagine.

I feel kind of bad for people with good peripheral vision.

"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown." You right.

We generally fear things that are unknown or unfamiliar to us simply because we don't understand them and deem them dangerous. We use our five senses to experience and process the world around us and being unable to do so can lead to fear.

People are afraid of the dark because they can't see and process what's around them.

They are in the unknown.

And if they can't see and confirm that their surroundings are safe, they assume that there is potential danger.

If I can't see that there isn't a demon about to eat me, there is probably a demon about to eat me. That's why horror movies usually aren't scary the second time or consecutive time you watch them, assuming they were scary the first time, because you're then familiar with the events, and there is no longer a surprise factor.

If you're bored of zombie movies by now, it's because it's gotten stale.

Train to Busan doesn't need a remake! Stop remaking Asian horror films! Just read the subtitles.

Oh my god, you're illiterate. I have irrational fears as well.

Like, not closing my eyes for too long while in the shower because that gives the monster time to appear with their ugly face staring at me the moment I open my eyes, or when the lights go out while I'm in the bathroom because I remember saying "Bloody Mary" twice as a kid, and I'm worried that it carries over and that even thinking of saying it the third time will fulfill the ritual, or when I'm washing my face in front of a mirror in the bathroom and, you know, maybe I'm just scared of bathrooms.

Yeah, that's it.

Real talk though, I have a fear of being forgotten.

If you haven't watched Disney's Coco yet, SPOILER ALERT!

there's a scene with one of the characters, Chicharrón, who experiences final death in the land of the dead because there is no longer anyone in the world of the living who remembers him.

The fact that your existence is "deleted" because you no longer exist even in memory really hit me in the ko'koro, .

Like, if you're not part of anyone's recorded or remembered history, did you really even exist?

Or if you don't take an Instagram photo of your food, did you even really eat it?

Nah, I'm just kidding, yeah. Yo-you ate it stop. Stop taking photos. Eat your food.

But what gives me peace of mind is the latin phrase by Roman poet Quintus Horatius Flaccus a.k.a. Horace, "Non omnis moriar" which directly translates to "not everything dies", but is interpreted as "my work will live" or "I shall not wholly die." And as of now believing in this seems like our only way to immortality.

Do enough during the time you are here to make an impact that goes beyond your mortal lifespan.

I have my beliefs and ideologies, I don't really see myself as a world changer or a strong activist for anything specific, I just enjoy putting out content for people to view.

People ask what my end goal is with YouTube or my career in entertainment.

Honestly, with humble intent, I just want to be remembered.

Not for greatness or anything prestigious, I just don't want to be forgotten.

And it's kind of ironic to fear being forgotten because you wouldn't really know or have a way to prove if you were forgotten once your time has passed.

Or do we? Hmm, that seems like a hypothetical for another day.

This video has been brought to you by.....

Uh.. Wait, what just happened?

What's with the nothingness?

Is there going to be a jumpscare?

Ack. I hope not!

Seriously, Domics, what's with the blank outro? Please explain.

Why are you here? Still expecting the outro?

If there really isn't, I'll add it in.

FOR YOU

為什麼要通過這個影片練習口語？

在這個影片中，講述者分享了自己的恐懼和心理感受，這為英語學習者提供了一個真實的對話環境。通過觀看和模仿他的講話方式，你可以瞭解如何在日常對話中表達複雜的情感和思想。這種方式不僅有助於提高你的英語口語能力，還有助於你更好地理解與他人交流時可能出現的情感細節。

練習口語時，你可以通過跟隨影片進行shadow speech（影子模仿），從而提升你的發音和語調。這種方法會讓你在無形中吸收語言的自然節奏，使得英語口語練習變得更加有效。

語法與表達環境中的分析

Fear of the Unknown: 講述者提到“我們一般害怕未知或不熟悉的事物”。這一結構可以幫助你理解怎樣用英語表達對不確定事物的恐懼感。
Survival Instinct: “恐懼是生存本能”，這句話強調了恐懼在我們生活中的重要性，可以用於討論心理狀態和情感。
Peripheral Vision: 使用“我的外圍視角仍然可以看到螢幕的其他部分”，這個表達適合描述感知和注意力的變化，幫助你在日常交流中更加靈活地使用相關詞彙。
Emotional Connection: 講述者談到“你是否真的存在？”。這種深刻的情感表達方式適用於多種社交場合，是提升英語口語練習的絕佳例子。

常見的發音陷阱

在影片中，有些詞彙可能會給非母語者帶來困難，例如 “demon”（惡魔）和 “hospital”（醫院）。這些詞在快速對話中常常會被模糊發音，需要特別注意。

此外，語調和節奏也是需要練習的重點。講述者在恐怖片討論部分的語速有所變化，這種技巧可以幫助你在進行shadow speak時，學習如何通過改變語速來增強表情。

通過不斷的練習和模仿，你不僅可以提高英語發音，還能夠更加自信地與他人交流。因此，找一個舒適的環境，隨時利用影片進行英語口語練習，培養良好的語言習慣！

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
現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事	haven't really been · I've never been · I've had
被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的	will be confronted · being forgotten · is interpreted

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。
