I spend a lot of time alone and I prefer it that way.

Hey guys, it's Leah.

I'm an American living in China for the time being

and I like to share parts of my life with you guys on this channel

and recently I've been getting a lot of comments and questions asking if I miss home,

if I'm homesick, or if I feel lonely because I spend most of my time alone.

These are all valid questions.

So I thought I would give you guys some advice on how to be alone without being lonely

and also give some advice for those who are curious about moving abroad no matter what the country is

but feel a little bit nervous.

The first thing is to get rid of outside voices.

You need to stop caring about how you think other people are going to perceive you

or how you think other people think about you

because honestly other people don't think about you that much

if at all so you don't really need to worry about what other people think

if you go out to a restaurant alone

if you go to watch a movie alone nobody is thinking

about you you are the only person thinking about yourself second you really need some hobbies you need things

that you can work on alone personally

I have a lot of hobbies for example I like to read I like to do puzzles

while I listen to podcasts I like to draw

and paint all of these things are things I can do alone

and it also helps me to recharge third

you have to get comfortable in your own skin like you basically need to learn how to love yourself

and that sounds really cheesy like I'm sure you've heard

that a million times by now and it's kind of lost its meaning

but what mean by this is that you have to learn how to accept yourself instead of trying to constantly change yourself.

For me, I'm very introverted.

I'm not very social.

I don't have many friends, which is why I spend most of my time alone.

There was a point of time where I felt pretty insecure about this because I would see other people going out,

going to parties, being really social, and having this huge group of friends.

And I just was wondering what was wrong with me like why don't I have

that kind of lifestyle but the truth is I'm just like not

that kind of person so when I accepted who I was

and stopped trying to force myself to become someone else

I felt a lot more happier my next tip is you can focus on a mindset shift

so instead of thinking oh my god I'm

so embarrassed to be here alone this is so awkward and

so embarrassing you can think wow

it's really such a privilege for me to have the opportunity to do this all on my own.

This is something I realized after years of experience of feeling down about myself

or feeling sad in different moments where I was alone.

I just realized if I changed my outlook

and changed my mindset on how I perceive myself and how I perceive that moment,

I can actually make myself feel happier and I can actually appreciate my own company a lot more.

Another tip I have is that you should keep a journal

and I know a lot of people talk about journaling

but I don't think it has to necessarily be writing things down on paper or a traditional kind of journal or diary.

I just think that

if you're spending a lot of time alone then you should still be practicing the way that you express your thoughts.

So it could be writing things on paper, but it could also be, you know, setting up your phone and talking for a few minutes

or doing something else to kind of log your thought processes and,

you know, get out all of the emotions that are just pent up inside of you.

It's just one way of expressing yourself without an audience.

Now, if you're thinking about moving abroad but feel nervous

and you have this fear of the unknown

then i'm gonna share some of my own advice based on my own experience

i've gone abroad a few times totally on my own

and at first it can be very daunting it can feel scary

but once you do it the first time it gets a lot easier the more

that you do it and this leads to my first tip for this segment which is just do it.

Don't let fear get in the way of your dreams and your ambitions.

I know so many people who really want to go abroad,

and they really have this life imagined in their head that they would like to live,

but they stay in their hometown because they're afraid of not knowing anybody.

They're afraid of learning a new language, afraid of making new connections and starting over, but it's really not as scary as you think.

I actually think it's more scary to not do something you really want to do because you're afraid.

Similarly, don't let other people make decisions for you.

If you're young and you haven't settled down yet and you're not married, you don't have kids yet,

and you have the opportunity and the finances to go abroad for even a short period of time,

there really shouldn't be anything that stops you if you really want to do this.

You shouldn't let other people's opinions stop you from doing what you want to do.

I know some people really care about how their parents think of them

or their parents have a huge say in what they do we can respect our parents

and value their opinions while still chasing our dreams it's really possible

and sometimes you just have to do it regardless of what they say personally

i have people in my family who were really worried about me

when i said i wanted to go abroad or

when i told them

that i was going i wasn't asking permission I was saying hey I'm going to China

and some of them were worried just because it's so far away

or I don't know many people here

but I'm okay I've been here for a

while now like everything gets sorted out you just have to trust yourself

and that also brings us to our next point

which is you should do some groundwork first before jumping into an opportunity to go abroad

and this also connects to how to be okay with being alone

because you should be okay with spending time on your own.

If you go abroad, there are going to be

so many times where you're totally alone and you have to trust yourself

and gain experience in doing things alone and relying on yourself so that when you go abroad,

you're not frantically running around like a chicken with their head chopped off.

You can still figure things out.

You have the ability to solve problems because you've done it before.

Lastly if you want to go abroad I would say trust your intuition but also push yourself out of your comfort zone.

So you want to be aware of your surroundings you know don't put yourself into dangerous situations

and be aware of the people and the environments around you

but also don't let the fear of the unknown stop you from trying new things.

100

You know you still want to put yourself out there talk to new people

101

and do things that make you a little bit uncomfortable.

102

And the more that you do these things, the easier it's going to get for you later on.

103

These are just some of the tips

104

that I have been thinking of recently as I've been spending a lot of time alone and a lot of time abroad.

105

So let me know if you guys have any related tips, anything that I didn't mention in this video,

106

leave them in the comments and we can help each other out.

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。
