5
I think I know too much about people I don't personally know.
6
On top of that, I think I know too much about people who aren't even relevant to my sphere of interests.
7
This is definitely due to the ease of access of media on the internet.
8
Not to say a little tea isn't nice, nah I'm saying.
9
Sometimes a little cup of that "ooh you caught who lying about what?
10
Earl Grey tea is a nice treat on a random Thursday night." Personally, I'm a fan of gossip.
11
Hold up.
12
Wait a minute.
13
Hear me out!
14
Not necessarily speaking it, but I'm one who likes to gather anecdotal information from people.
15
I believe the negative part of gossip comes from blindly believing rumors and secondhand information.
16
Of course, it's easy to fall into that bias if it's the only source you have.
17
But when I open my doors to gossip, I feel like I get to play this mini -game of: What truths am I willing to let through these gates?
18
Who believes what?
19
Who told you these facts?
20
Appreciate it if you don't tell anyone about this That's starting to sound like.. manipulation!
21
Congratulations, you may have a pathological liar in the friend group!
22
"Wow, gossip !" Listen guys, I get it.
23
Many of us were raised not to talk behind someone's back, but from experience I've found
24
that strictly following this mindset without critical thinking tends to protect those who are actually guilty of the accusation.
25
Is it gossip if it's true?
26
Plus if it leads to talking in front of someone's back.. no that sounds weird.
27
If it leads to a confrontation and clarification of any misunderstandings, then isn't that a better outcome than lingering on suppressed thoughts and feelings?
28
That being said, this really only works in a personal setting with a network of people
29
that you actually know and can directly communicate with.
30
With social media becoming a staple in modern life,
31
it has become increasingly accessible for a completely faceless stranger to know about another stranger's personal life,
32
and in turn, potentially develop a parasocial relationship with them.
33
Take it from a guy who's made a career out of storytelling on the internet.
34
On one hand, it's fun to share stories as if we're gathered around a campfire.
35
On the other, it's a little weird to have this many people at a campfire.
36
I have the mindset to not overshare sensitive information that doesn't necessarily add value to the story.
37
Overall, social media has proven to be quite exhausting for me.
38
On the side of uploading personal content, I'm terrible at keeping my following, the majority of which are strangers, updated about the current events of my life.
39
Sure, I share stories about major events that I've experienced, but not the day -to -day stuff and recent things that I've been up to.
40
For example, after I had a really bad fall from bouldering a few years, years ago where I helicopter crash landed on my ankle, I got into playing volleyball.
41
And it's become a major hobby of mine these days.
42
And also for a bit, I was heavily invested in the Digimon TCG and even competed at nationals in 2023.
43
Maybe I'll make a video about those, I don't know yet.
44
My updates are so sparse that I'm usually assumed dead until further notice.
45
Immediately after hitting the upload button, I just cease to exist.
46
I have no object permanence, I am only in this realm in short bursts of time.
47
The thing is, if I were to put myself in the shoes of someone following me, I don't think I'd care too much about what I would be posting about.
48
Is that anxious thinking?
49
I just don't think my daily life is that interesting.
50
Sure, I have this platform, but I live a pretty mundane and uneventful life, for the most part.
51
I don't party, I love being at home, I'm extremely introverted, I just like keeping to myself.
52
And when I do go out and do things, I forget to take photos and videos because I'm just.. in the moment.
53
And I'm lazy.
54
From my understanding of human behavior, we post and publish things for some level of validation, even if it's the teensiest amount.
55
It makes sense.
56
When you share something with someone, you're leaving yourself open to some level of criticism.
57
the internet, we're able to present things in a manner that narrows possible critiques to mostly positive ones.
58
When people show and tell, they usually aim for some sort of praise or positive feedback.
59
They don't try to show and get shit on.
60
Usually.
61
Admittingly, that's kind of the basis of my whole channel.
62
For years, I've been sharing stories of my life with you guys.
63
Stories about relationships, experiences during public events, butts, working in retail, you name it.
64
And as genuine as I wanted those stories to be, I can't claim that they are all 100 % free of all bias.
65
They are all true, of course, but they were presented with my truth.
66
Social media has also been tiring as a consumer.
67
So many trends to keep up with endless memes in the palm of my hand for
68
that easy dopamine hit right before going to bed and contributing to my insomnia.
69
I catch wind of so much drama between parties that have absolutely nothing to do with me.
70
Why do I care if some guy cheated on a speedrun in a video game?
71
Why?
72
It does not affect my life in any way.
73
Why?
74
If it affects yours, That's fine!
75
You can care about it.
76
I'm just wondering why I do.
77
Why did I read that twit longer about person A talking about person B cheating with person C?
78
I'm not in that alphabet.
79
I'm so uninvolved I'm like person Gamma.
80
But then, why did I proceed to look up multiple YouTube videos to get the perspectives of drama channels
81
that report on it?
82
And then, I scroll down to the comments section to read the opinions of other people
83
that are as uninvolved as I am.
84
Would that even be a meaningful conversation?
85
Hey did you hear about blah blah blah saying racial slur for the seventh time blah blah?
86
No, I haven't because I don't watch or support this stranger.
87
So are you saying you don't care about racism?
88
You don't care about sexism?
89
Poverty?
90
War?
91
Climate change?
92
AI art?
93
Endangered animals?
94
Ableism?
95
My mother?
96
There's a term in Filipino, Tagalog.
97
Chismis.
98
It means gossip or rumors and it's the base word of chismosa, one who gossips.
99
Which is what we call all the aunties at the fam jams gathered in the kitchen
100
while the dads are in the backyard drinking and the kids are upstairs playing on the Nintendo 64.
101
Thank you.
102
I feel like I've become a tita chismosa.
103
Every time I go on Twitter or X or whatever, there's that little Pandora's box of trending topics and one is usually an anime spoiler, but sometimes it's someone's name.
104
Sometimes a name I'm not even familiar with.
105
So why do I click on them?
106
Because I'm a chismosa!
107
Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep!
108
We're at an era of easily accessible knowledge where anyone can share anything and everything to everyone.
109
And while I believe in many cases that's a positive thing, like the ability to teach yourself almost any skill, learning about cultures you've never experienced,
110
looking up how to efficiently clean sticker residue, unhealthily indulging in.
111
I've been drinking too much chronically online tea, and I have a little tummy ache.
112
Hmm?
113
What's that?
114
Oh no, I simply mustn't.
115
It can be scary being on the internet.
116
It's not always so easy to keep your personal info from getting leaked by these data chismosas.
117
They can get your full name, phone number, home address, social security, and just handing it out like food samples.
118
This gets really scary when you start hearing stuff about data leaks from services that you use on a daily basis, which could lead to some troubling stuff like phishing emails,
119
stalking, and even identity theft.
120
Incogni is here to help take that burden away, saving you time, trying to deal with thousands of data brokers one by one and all by yourself.
121
Seriously, I've only been using this for like a week
122
and it saved me a day's worth of time with contacting each of these companies.
123
And if you happen to know of a specific website
124
that has your personal info and Incogni hasn't gotten to it yet, no problem.
125
You can use the custom removal feature on their unlimited and family unlimited plan.
126
Value your privacy
127
and let Incogni erase your data from the internet by going
128
to incogni .com /domics with the code DOMICS for 60 % off.
129
Hope y 'all enjoy the rest of 2025 and I'll see you in the new year.

这个视频适合谁？
如果你想通过看YouTube学英语，尤其是想练习日常口语表达和批判性思维，这个视频再合适不过了。它的对话风格轻松自然，话题贴近生活（比如 gossip、社交媒体），适合中高级学习者模仿。无论是想提高英语发音，还是学习如何用英语清晰表达观点，都能从中找到实用内容。
值得“偷走”的单词和习语
- tea：不是“茶”，而是“八卦”。比如视频里的“a little cup of that 'ooh you caught who lying about what?'”就是在说“听点别人撒谎的八卦”。
- parasocial relationship：“类社会关系”，指观众对媒体人物产生的单方面情感联结。视频中提到陌生人通过社交媒体产生这种关系，很贴切现代生活。
- sparse：“稀少的”。比如“my updates are so sparse”就是“我的更新很少”。
如何练好发音？
视频 speaker 的发音清晰，语速适中，很适合英语影子跟读。注意以下几点：一是连读，比如“on top of that”中的“on top”可以连读成“on top”；二是语调，在表达观点时（比如“hear me out!”），语调会升高以引起注意；三是弱读，比如“of”“the”等虚词通常会弱读，让句子更流畅。跟着视频反复模仿，能有效提高英语发音的自然度。
想要练好影子跟读，不妨试试“shadowspeaks”法：先听一句，暂停，立刻重复，注意节奏和语调。坚持下去，你会发现自己的口语越来越地道！
视频中的语法
说话人最常用的结构，并附上视频中的原话：
| 结构 | 视频中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 现在完成进行时 have/has been + -ing — 以前开始、现在仍在继续的动作 | I've been sharing · has also been tiring · I've been drinking |
| 现在完成时 have/has + 过去分词 — 过去发生但与现在仍有关联的事 | I've found · has become · has proven |
| 被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么，而不是谁做的 | is sponsored · were raised · being said |
| 定语从句 who / which + 从句 — 补充说明人或事物 | people who aren · one who likes · those who are |
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
