1
Embarrassment is the number one thing that's holding you back in life.
2
You need to understand this, okay?
3
When I stopped being embarrassed of anything, my life completely changed because this was the only time I felt free to be my authentic self,
4
to do whatever I want and to live my life the way I want.
5
Only when I stopped being embarrassed that was possible.
6
And in this video, we're going to talk about how you can do the same.
7
First of all, you need to understand that embarrassment is basically made up.
8
Embarrassment is not real.
9
Embarrassment only exists because we think it does, okay?
10
There's no rule that says that some things are embarrassing and some things aren't embarrassing.
11
What one person finds embarrassing, another person doesn't even care about at all.
12
You can think it's embarrassing to fall down on the street in front of a huge crowd
13
and another person might think it's funny or it's sad.
14
There's no rule for embarrassment because we decide what's embarrassing, okay?
15
We decide what's embarrassing.
16
And when we decide that nothing is embarrassing, nothing will be embarrassing anymore.
17
It's that easy.
18
I know that sounds crazy, but it's that easy.
19
Every time when I felt that feeling of embarrassment come over me, I stopped myself and I told myself, no, it's not embarrassing.
20
I decide now that it's not embarrassing.
21
And this feeling of embarrassment just disappeared because I decide what's embarrassing and what's not.
22
You really need to realize that you decide what's embarrassing.
23
And the same way you decided that this one thing is embarrassing, you can also decide
24
that the same thing is not embarrassing anymore okay you also need to understand
25
that embarrassment is actually the fear of rejection and of judgment
26
so most of the time you don't even feel embarrassed
27
because you think what you're doing is embarrassing but
28
because you are afraid that other people won't like you anymore
29
if you do this thing and that's when you stop being your authentic self
30
because you are so afraid of losing the people around you
31
but you need to understand you really need to understand
32
that people who reject you because of small and meaningless things never even liked you in the first place, okay?
33
They never even liked you because why should someone stop liking you because you started posting on TikTok, because you started following your dreams, because you started that business,
34
because you said something embarrassing, because you posted one embarrassing picture of you.
35
Why should someone who really genuinely likes you stop liking you because of those random things? Can you tell me?
36
People who really like you will like you no matter what you do, okay?
37
And people who don't like you also won't like you no matter what you do.
38
I can give you one example of my own life.
39
When I started my social media, I started social media two years ago, I think, on my German account.
40
This English account is very new, but I started social media on my German account a few years ago.
41
I almost didn't start the account because I was so afraid that people who know me would think I'm embarrassing,
42
would think I'm cringe, would stop being friends with me because I post on social media.
43
It almost held me back off posting.
44
The fear of rejection almost held me back off posting.
45
But then I thought to myself, when someone rejects me or thinks I'm cringe or thinks I'm embarrassing because I'm posting harmless videos on social media,
46
I don't need that person.
47
I don't need people who will judge me because I do harmless things, because I follow my dreams, I do what I want to do.
48
When people judge me because I do things that I like, I don't need those people, okay?
49
And you don't need those people either.
50
You can't control it anyway.
51
Someone who wants to judge you will judge you
52
and will find something to judge you for no matter what you do okay the next thing
53
that you need to understand is that
54
when you always feel embarrassed you give other people the power to decide over your life there's
55
that one quote that i love
56
that says it's better to be cringed in someone else's mind than caged in your own mic drop let
57
that quote sink in okay just think about it it is
58
so true it's so much better to be cringed in someone else's mind than caged in your own.
59
Because why should you stop living your life the way you want to live it?
60
Do the things you want to do because you are afraid what some random ass people will think of you.
61
What the hell?
62
What the hell?
63
Really?
64
This makes no sense at all that you create a smaller life for yourself just to be digestible for other people.
65
Don't do that, okay?
66
Don't do that.
67
Because when you're 80 years old, sitting there being sad that your life didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
68
because you were afraid of being judged by others those people
69
you were afraid of being judged by won't be there for you okay you will be there alone
70
so stop letting random ass people who don't even like you
71
decide how you live your life live your life the way
72
you want do the things the way you want to do them no matter
73
if anyone thinks you're cringe you're weird you whatever, because at the end of the day you will be the only one responsible
74
and regretting it if your life didn't turn out the way you wanted it to.
75
What also comes with that is that you need to understand
76
that people only have as much power over you as you give them.
77
Of course, if you're sitting at home always worrying about what other people might think of you, holding yourself back, not doing the things you like,
78
because you're so afraid that other people might think you're cringe, of course those people have power over you and your life, because you give them the power by doing those things.
79
You give other people the power by constantly worrying about what they think, by not doing the things you love because you are afraid what they might think.
80
You give other people the power over your life.
81
And the same way you give them the power, you can also take the power away from them.
82
Because the moment you stop wasting your precious time, worrying what others think of you and holding your own life back just to be digestible for others,
83
is the moment that you take the power back.
84
And that's also the moment that you start to realize that other people were never holding you back.
85
Your fear of their opinion was.
86
Also, very often people project their own insecurities.
87
People often judge others because of something they secretly wish they had the confidence to do it themselves.
88
If I judge you for having, for laughing loud on the street and having fun and I think, oh my god, that's so embarrassing,
89
that's so cringe, it's probably because I don't allow myself to do that.
90
I'm afraid to show that side of me in public
91
if someone judges you because you post videos on social media it's probably
92
because they wish they had the confidence to do the same thing
93
but they just don't and instead of admitting i wish i could do the two
94
or working on their confidence to one day have
95
that confidence to post on social media it's easier to them to just judge another person and say, oh my gosh, that's so embarrassing, because that makes them feel better about themselves.
96
So in conclusion, the way people react to you often says more about them than it says about you.
97
And the last thing I want to say in this video is
98
that the truly embarrassing people are the ones who find everything embarrassing.
99
In my opinion, really nothing is embarrassing except people that find everything embarrassing.
100
You just need to imagine those people, how miserable they are sitting at home and judging others.
101
They're sitting at home not doing anything with their lives, watching other people, how weird is that, and just judging them and saying oh my gosh what they do is so cringe.
102
How can she pause on social media?
103
She only has two followers.
104
How can she do that?
105
Did you see what she wore?
106
Did you hear what she said?
107
That's so cringe.
108
That is truly the only thing that's embarrassing being a person who always judges everyone
109
and that's it for today's video i really hope it was
110
helpful i really hope i could help you to stop being embarrassed of anything
111
and start living your life according to your own values
112
and to your own desires that was my goal with
113
that video and i would say i'll see you in my next video bye bye Thank you.
114
Thank you.

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。
