If you hate reading then start small, just spend 15 minutes a day, every day, and read something that you know you will enjoy. Do you prefer fantasy, sci-fi, or romance? Then pick up one of the many great novels written for that genre. If you do it every day you will eventually get to the point where it is no longer a chore and you will breeze through those 15 minutes and be hungry for more.

Third one I can relate with the most, i started exercising and did skin care and was starting to see results and was gaining more confidence but at some point stopped and i feel like I am losing confidence, definitely gotta pull myself together now
Recap Core idea: anxiety creates blockage to communication 1) When meeting someone new, try to share and connect your hobbies, passions, life style, etc with them instead of just trying to attract them 2) Read books 30-60 minutes a day to improve vocabulary, you need to know a base number of words to express yourself clearly 3) Improve your appearance and health, it makes you confident and people will want to talk with you naturally 4) Talk to yourself on camera 10 minutes a day, make videos on things you're interested in or to share your knowledge
I was outgoing as a child, I felt free, happy and in-control, but when high school started everything changed, I developed social anxiety and insecurities, this caused me to have no friends and become a loner. I could never forget the the suffering as it was the worst part of my life. I graduated high school 2 years ago and glad that its finally over, I'm becoming more confident and the people at college are welcoming and easy to get along with.
Same here brother, I was EXACTLY the same. I have a few close friends though which I have very grateful to have. Keep going brother, be the best you and you'll attract the best out of others ❤
Its the same for me currently in highschool and never ever felt worse than here, i cant wait to graduate and meet new people. In highschool i feel like every single person (with exceptions of course) are just fake AF and talk behind your back 🤷🏼♂️
I was always a pretty shy kid, and I'd say I started developing anxiety as early as 3rd grade or around 8 years old after getting kind of branded as the weird kid. Looking back, it was probably undiagnosed autism. I think my kindergarten teacher actually said something about it, but my parents refused to listen to her. In retrospect, I'd say the symptoms were very obvious. I remember most of my k-12 experience being a constant stream of being picked on and bullied, and teachers never doing anything about it. They were certainly quick to act when I was doing it, but nobody ever seemed to stand up for me. It's hard to develop confidence and self-love when most people in your life seem to attack you on a daily basis, and the adults who should do something about it rarely, if ever, did. I mean, I'm 29, and I feel like most of my 20s have basically been me trying to play catch up on development most people had completed a long time ago.
I can confirm that your level of insecurities DRASTICALLY changes your quality of speech, I’m a high schooler, so I talk to people every day, and I’m often given compliments on my public speaking skills, but any day that I feel my hair looks funny, I have a cough, or my shirt has something wrong with it, it ALL goes down the drain 😂. My ability to explain things drops off a cliff, even though it really shouldn’t. Just remember everyone, YOU are your biggest critic, so just don’t be so hard on yourself and that alone will make you much more confident.
@@Zavouk Haha thanks, sadly I’d say most of the time I’m anything but suave, but if you just try to be funny and just connect with people, you’ll do well 😁!
Another tip is to understand that when you talk to someone they are not gonna judge you on what your saying and even if they do they will forget in minutes. This applies to many other actions you make and it will help with some of that social anxiety.
Do you ever go to a party and wake up in the morning feeling bad about a way you acted that seems embarassing in reprospect? A question that was kind of stupid or something you had to ask twice or forgot about someone. Maybe a moment when you got anxious while dancing? Well noone fucking noticed. And even if they are also too much in their own head that they wont remember it anyways.
idk why I cried lol! when u mentioned that fear of judgments is what holding us back it made me sad, I too was extremly judged and outcasted in elementry school era and even my family would judge me so it's very hard to overcome my social anxiety for it has deep roots, I grew with it. it's been like 4-5 years since I first discovered that I have social anxiety and I started working on it since then, I've seen a big proggress and difference but I still can't say that I'm finally free. this video helps a lot, I thought it was a seperated problem, thank you!!
don't ever, EVER, care what you think other people will think. never let others push you around, and don't mold to others desires. be yourself, and you won't have to suffer through any anxiety about playing a fake persona
4 lessons from the video:- 1. Change your mindset from attracting the people to connect with the people 2. Increase your vocabulary for impressive and effective communication 3. Improve your looks to feel confident 4. Rehearsal in front of camera at least 10 minutes a day Literally speaking I can connect with all these point from my day to day life... Valid points... Thanks for sharing.. 🎉🎉🎉
I had the same issue, as you, mine got blocked at 17 years old, my confidence exploded when i moved into another country, my clients in my new job started praising me and my job, girls were eating me with their eyes. Improve yourself and confidence are the key. Now people say i have high ego, my haters, they were used to a no confidence guy.
You want advice? Get up from the bed, get out of the house and start training, confidence will come from itself and with it everything that you ever wanted
@@nicolae-alexandruluca7853 Funny thing. I actually do go to the gym lol and it has helped. I even matched with a girl about a week ago and convo has been going good
I really appreciate your video. I am a visual leaner, so i really like this style of yours. Unfortunately, I can't relate much, cuz my blockage is on the genetic level. I am on the spectrum and while those advices can "correct" the issues, they don't necessarily remove it down to the root. I still appreciate your work tho, you can't help me a lot, but you can change others.I am Not thinking of myself as some insignificant little brat, even though my style might seem like it, it just hurts to realize that i will be falling behind, even if it's just one small step in every day live. But hey, still trying to embrace my strengths, recently found gf, and got accepted to uni, so life isn't that bad, still trying to watch your channel, simply because it makes me calm down and just chill even though they don't help much. I am really grateful to be living on the same planet with you.
You're a legend man, you did not need to do this but it says so much about your character. Keep being the best you every single day, everyone gets a stack of cards at the start of life, some are at a disadvantage but if you're strategic enough you can win the game. Put trust in that brother 👊❤
May allah heal you and guide your heart to Islam. That's the best prayer I can give someone. You look like a really good person. I'm sorry about your autism I know it's really hard.
I feel you bro, I feel like sometimes when I don't add heaps of edits to my vids that people won't enjoy them, but funny enough the videos that I spend the least amount of time on - people enjoy them the most 😂
Hey ! If you enjoyed these types of videos, there is a youtube channel called jetavanaramaya buddhist monastery and it's about a Buddhist monk who has a whiteboard like this and he speaks about super cool stuff and life improvement! I really enjoy that channel, and i think you would too if you like these types of simple content, one downside is the videos are long about 2 hours, but they're super interesting and they help me learn so much about life. Thank you
1. Intention must be not to validate yourself 2. Books to improve vocabulary 3. Improving looks to improve confidence 4. Speaking on camera Thanks for this exciting inspired video!
"Your intention creates your type of tension" I felt this one REALLY, i never wanted to connect with people Ever, because i always liked to be alone , but i forced myself to do so So i can develop good social skills and be successful...
Same bro, looking back at the interactions I had with people I can now say that I was focusing too much on my feelings and my well-being ignoring other people's emotions
Can never relate better. I was a very mid looking teenager, still am. But when I appeared more on stage and showing my face in a lot of places, connecting and communicating with people, the quality of life just went 1000x better. My friends started to ask (mock) me 'how are you pulling girls?'. It even came from a point of attracting 0 girls to now avoiding unwanted attention from them, got placed before everyone with a really low grade... stepping out of my insecurities and being a communicator really paid off.
In elementary school I got "bullied" for my looks, these days people compliment me and say I look good, but still I can't leave what happend back then and it always haunts me. No matter how many compliments I get my confidence just stays the same because I doubt if they are even real. Great video, thanks
I feel that,I used to get called ,,Autist,, ,,Retarded,, and other bad things just because Im too calm(Im fighting myself to not lose my control because of anger).I have zero confidence and when I try to talk I remember these horible moments when everyone was against me while I was trying to talk. All I wanted was peace and all I got was suffering.
Sounds to me as if there could be guilt involved. For example when kids only get rejection from their parents when they talk to them or want something from them, want to show them sth etc. basically what happens is that just for being themselves - they develop "false guilt" for having a personality that has own interests. Because the parents only punished them for their individuality - later in life every time when this urge arises to express themselves from the bottom of their hearts they partly feel like crap. That is the false guilt for being alive and vibrant and strong, having own interests or being confident. So they cant live their lives fully and they might not think that they are unwothy of a good life but because of how the parents conditioned their nerveous system, they will often have this unconscious drive to put themselves down. Maybe that is what happens to you. Just make sure you would wish every person alive to be confident and happy with themselves and to go out strong and good looking and allow yourself too.
please never lose your integrity. sure, don’t be afraid to monetize, you deserve to. but i pray you do so ethically & morally. your content is truly helpful, and unlike most creators, ive failed to find the “catch”. no link in your descriptions or your youtube bio promoting a course, or paid mentorship taking advantage of vulnerable people. it makes me truly happy to see.
I have always had a lot of anxiety issues. I always think what people will think of me if I speak. I never even comment on videos because I think people will judge me even if they don't know me. This video really gives me courage to improve myself. I thank UA-cam for recommending this video.
It has been a huge benefit to me and my channel to see you building your channel and growing so rapidly!! Can’t wait until I get to your level and become fully comfortable with speaking to my audience through the lens!!
I have read one book in my entire life and honestly it's not always books that are the root of improving yourself in every way possible but listening to others especially cult people, the kind of peoe who have lived through constant learning and improving themselves to be the best they can be
@@nicolae-alexandruluca7853Nah bro all it takes is one good book to change your life and i’ll forever stand by that. Check out Lonesome Dove or 11/22/63, reading in school sucks and that’s coming from an avid reader. Reading for enjoyment outside of school is a completely different thing, just trust me man I have no reason to tell you BS.
Your gonna be a great father when you grow up an you can be a great father figure for this generation by teaching us these mandatory lessons and im just 13 so thank you brother.
I totally sympathize with the logic in this video. I talk with a few of my best friends and I have trouble speaking at times, and the reasons contributing to this video shows exactly why. Thank you!
Just watching any communication video lifts up your confidence a bit at least even if you don't get anything. Yes its true- because you realize that are many people out there just like you.
Basically the 2 things you need to improve your communication 1. Confidence 2. Language Skills To improve your confidence, you should improve your skills at certain tasks, improve your appearance, get more fit and start working out To improve your language sklils, you should read more books, and practice your english/whatever language you're speaking. Try to socialize a bit more as talking to more people will naturally improve your vocabulary skills
Thank you, bro. I've been struggling with communication as I am growing up. As a girly who is very insecure with her looks and speaking skills, I want to change all over the years. This video is a perfect timing for me to see.
Omg i think this is legitimately helpful, it’s more than just practicing vocal exercises, which is what I was expecting when I clicked on this video, it’s more about the intention of why you’re communicating ! Building up vocabulary could be helpful too because I never know if I’m using words right and that holds me back. Thanks so much!
The moment about connecting with people instead of aiming for validation from them - teared me up. I realised that that's my main problem, because of my insecurities and mental problems, i often look at people as a source of validation, which is obviously repulsive. Im gonna work on that, thanks man.
Dude if only i could have met you earlier , you aint even directly talkin to ne but yet you are still a better friend that almost all the people ive met so far
I physically stutter, like in everyday life, and speech therapy is expensive... so it's even worse for me in ANY public speaking stuff or for presentations...
I was a stutterer too, but only in school. Not at home, around familiar faces and surroundings., it seemed. Like he mentioned, there is a blockage and we need to find the source or event where the stuttering might have begun, friend. Hope this helps..
Thank you, Jak. You dont know how much you have helped me in the past 4 months. I am happier. I am more concentrated and productive. You are a blessing. Keep doing what you do.
i have interview tomorrow and i was all over place, fear of rejection, nervewreck , overwhelmed. I clicked on video to perform better in interview communication wise but when you talked about having just pure intention I realised my task is just and just to give my 100% and probably learn if not accepted and to comprehend my knowledge better why I have this gunk of rejection already. After watching this I have new perspective and all my anxiety just disappeared. I only need to focus on myself and my intentions rest is up to them. I am so glad I clicked this video. Thank you so much 🥺🥺
You could re film this exact video with the exact same points, but in the framework of literally any other self improvement end goal, and it would still be fantastic. This isn't just good communication advice, this is great life advice.
Hey jack i know you're not going to see this but i just wanted to let you know that you've changed my life completely man. You have one of the most unique and best advices ive heard and i'm just so grateful that i found you bro. Keep up the good stuff man. Much love from Sydney ❤
Jak. You probably won’t see this but I feel pressured to leave this comment anyways. So I can at least say I tried. I need help. I’m addicted to… corn… and anytime I think I’m getting better I fall back into the same habits. I hate myself also. I’m ugly, I hate the way I talk to people, my confidence is in the negatives, I’m stupid, I’m starting college pretty soon and I feel like I have no control. I feel like I’m a spectator of my own freaking life… more than anything I want someone that I can make happy. But talking to girls terrifies me. I have someone right now that I kind of like, and have made some conversation with. I’m sure she’s just being nice though, and even the idea of approaching her and talking to her terrifies me. I could go on and on for hours typing this comment but I’ll just stop there. I basically have no idea what to do, and I’m tired of life. I’m not sure why I’m even making this comment but at least I’m making some kind of effort.
I'm no far off, but you must keep in mind that miracles are just consequences, but unanticipated. There has to be effort to turn things into something you want. Now ofc there's some things you can't do anything about, so just dig your path around them and believe that you can change the other ones. I believe in you and since you have made this comment, might as well consider it a little piece of "something which reminds me of the need to change" sorta thing. Really hope it gets better
@@mikeydotexe thanks man, I agree with you, and I have a strong desire to make changes in my life. But I can’t seem to actually do it. Sometimes I’ll start living me positivity but then every time I make progress, I get screwed over by my addiction and am back at square one. I just feel trapped. I think my only way out is to talk to someone I know, but I feel like there’s an equal chance of me getting better on my own, then there is me actually talking to someone. I just can’t do that lol.
Set a base for your freedom like- tell yourself everyday that you love yourself and you won’t go back, something like that. If you find yourself finding corn to be a escape from reality then play video games or hang out with friends or something that takes your mind off everything. And mate there’s always a tomorrow so try your best, tell yourself your free. It will get better.
The 2 things that really helped me was getting a job. I hate small talk but I got a retail job and when ppl asked for help I didn’t mind talking them through what they needed
i think the camera thing is amazing. i think it’s so important to familiarise ourselves with our own voice and personality, and not be ashamed or embarrassed by it. thanks for the video❤
Right now, after watching your video. I'm feeling more confident rather than getting motivated by Instagram reels and wasting my energy. Jak, I think this video gives me clarity on how to work on my communication skill because, presently my communication is too bad. I'm going to start working tonight on this for sure. Thanks man.
An advice I often hear from people of age who passed through life is to care less, or better say, don't give a f about it. The idea is to still be connected to the world around you but don't let the ideas of the people influence you because the thoughts will overwhelm you so you either care less or live a stressful life.
7:54 "Ten minutes per day, five minutes per day, sit in the chair and just yap at the camera." This is exactly what I did when Philippines went into lockdown. Being bored, I picked up an old microphone and plugged it into my computer. A year later, my voice has improved so much that I've been scouted for local radio stations. Trust me, the first few recordings will make you feel embarrassed. Like "OH MY GOD. WHAT IS THAT" type of feels. I have some of my old recordings still with me (I believe?), last time I took time to listen it made me cringe so much.
Yeah ahah I used to hate my voice on camera, but now I don’t even notice a difference. I think it’s more of a placebo issue. Definitely the most effective thing I have done to improve my speaking that’s for sure
@@JakPiggottThis is exactly what happened to me actually because my school asked us to make regular voice memos, or just something to record the day or the last 12 hours. I used to think it was stupid that they told us to do this, but I realise why they did now.
That's really resonating with me brother, i've been applying all this skills development lately, intentionally and in just a few months i've become more confidence with not only my sense of feeling physically but in overall in my inner dialogue and definitely document the mind or the life adds tons of self awareness to the equation, thanks for this type of value, props to you man.
brooo , i am the main speaker in an upcming event in my school and my partner is female classmate of mine that i have never spoken too , wish me luck bro
This man was not alive when my first son was born and I’m watching his video on how to be a better communicator. You can never be too old to be taught and you can never be too young to teach.
for the people in the western world , this is what you do for better confidence . for us Asians in south east asia , we put on a fake british or american accent and we feel instantly better about ourselves
This put the biggest smile on my face, because after my last breakup i lost almost all of my confidence. I started reading a lot of books, started cooking healthy meals and going to the gym, and i even started making youtube videos. It's so affirming to see that i'm on the right track and it came to me so naturally
dont let it keep you from talking to people ı know ıt sounds hard but dont stop communıcatıng . you can read books out loud as an exercise while alone. ıt helped me so much ın thıs matter. your speech wıll ımprove as you grow up ıt usually does. just dont give up and never let ıt stop you from communıcatıng
1) try to connect not to impress 2)read books to learn basic words to express yourself 3)improve your looks try to be natural so that you van feel more confident 4)talk to yourself on camera so that you can improve your communication skills, share your knowledge or talk about your day. Now start getting to it and improve yourself overall .
For the Newbie if you are actually trading in the crypto space and you don't have a sound mentor. Then you are certainly going to get liquidated in 90% of your trades. Yeah that's sad truth. I remember when i just got into crypto back in 2019 but later in 2020 i ended up selling it because i have lost alot trading all by myself without a guide. Got back into crypto early in 2023 with $20k and I'm up with $132k in a short period of time
yes you are right Exploring new investment opportunities demonstrates your proactive stance towards financial growth during these volatile times. Diversifying your portfolio can play a crucial role in effectiveIy mitigating risks..
The first step to successful investing is figuring out your goals and risk tolerance either on your own or with the help of a financial professional but is very advisable you make use of a professional i am grateful to Michelle sule
Working with her has been a game-changer for my financial well-being. Her ability to simplify complex financial concepts and provide tailored solutions is commendable. Francine passion for her work shines through, making the financial planning process not only effective but also enjoyable..
Most people think, investing in crypto is all about buying coins and leaving it to rise, come on it takes much analysis to be a successful crypto trader. thanks sule michelle for the eye opening.
This young man has got it and inspiring many! practicing on camera tip alone is gold because of the demonstration of his improvement, what a nice video content!
4:39 | ,,Curiosity Creates Opportunities´´ What I mean by this, is that if you maintain a curious Mind, you won't be disappointed when you encounter such Situations where you get, for Example, blocked. These Obstacles, are often just Products of our own Imagination; it is our Thoughts that create these mental Blockades and the negative Feelings that coming afterward. If you can manage this - if you can improve your Awareness of your own Ways of Thinking and train yourself in Communication skills, learning, trying, and having a Purpose behind your Actions - you will definitely find, that you always have a Reason to move forward. So, being mindful, listen to your Body and your Emotions, they´ll guide you in such Situations. Remember, being a curious and genuinely interested Person, is much more valuable, than setting Goals like trying to impress others, especially since that isn´t always possible anyway. Have a good and successful Life!
"Don´t try to attract, but try to connect!" Great advice!
Reminds me of one of my friends, he tries to attract people to be friends with him by doing what they do, basically peer pressure

Core idea: anxiety creates blockage to communication
1) When meeting someone new, try to share and connect your hobbies, passions, life style, etc with them instead of just trying to attract them
2) Read books 30-60 minutes a day to improve vocabulary, you need to know a base number of words to express yourself clearly
3) Improve your appearance and health, it makes you confident and people will want to talk with you naturally
4) Talk to yourself on camera 10 minutes a day, make videos on things you're interested in or to share your knowledge

Its the same for me currently in highschool and never ever felt worse than here, i cant wait to graduate and meet new people. In highschool i feel like every single person (with exceptions of course) are just fake AF and talk behind your back 🤷🏼♂️
Holy fck those first few sentences describe how my life was perfectly
I was always a pretty shy kid, and I'd say I started developing anxiety as early as 3rd grade or around 8 years old after getting kind of branded as the weird kid. Looking back, it was probably undiagnosed autism. I think my kindergarten teacher actually said something about it, but my parents refused to listen to her.

I can confirm that your level of insecurities DRASTICALLY changes your quality of speech, I’m a high schooler, so I talk to people every day, and I’m often given compliments on my public speaking skills, but any day that I feel my hair looks funny, I have a cough, or my shirt has something wrong with it, it ALL goes down the drain 😂. My ability to explain things drops off a cliff, even though it really shouldn’t. Just remember everyone, YOU are your biggest critic, so just don’t be so hard on yourself and that alone will make you much more confident.
Inspiring words man. Im in High School as well. Hopefully i sound as suave as you someday
@@Zavouk Haha thanks, sadly I’d say most of the time I’m anything but suave, but if you just try to be funny and just connect with people, you’ll do well 😁!
Another tip is to understand that when you talk to someone they are not gonna judge you on what your saying and even if they do they will forget in minutes. This applies to many other actions you make and it will help with some of that social anxiety.
No one's ever thinking about you as much as you think they are ❤
Do you ever go to a party and wake up in the morning feeling bad about a way you acted that seems embarassing in reprospect? A question that was kind of stupid or something you had to ask twice or forgot about someone. Maybe a moment when you got anxious while dancing? Well noone fucking noticed. And even if they are also too much in their own head that they wont remember it anyways.
I completely agree. The more calm and collected you are and the more confident you feel, the greater your ability will be to communicate effectively.
idk why I cried lol! when u mentioned that fear of judgments is what holding us back it made me sad, I too was extremly judged and outcasted in elementry school era and even my family would judge me so it's very hard to overcome my social anxiety for it has deep roots, I grew with it. it's been like 4-5 years since I first discovered that I have social anxiety and I started working on it since then, I've seen a big proggress and difference but I still can't say that I'm finally free. this video helps a lot, I thought it was a seperated problem, thank you!!
wow i feel this comment so much

don't ever, EVER, care what you think other people will think. never let others push you around, and don't mold to others desires. be yourself, and you won't have to suffer through any anxiety about playing a fake persona
100%. I wish I could have told this to my younger self
You have to act like a fake? Hmmmm, I guess we've all been there at some point or another
4 lessons from the video:-
1. Change your mindset from attracting the people to connect with the people
2. Increase your vocabulary for impressive and effective communication
3. Improve your looks to feel confident
4. Rehearsal in front of camera at least 10 minutes a day
Literally speaking I can connect with all these point from my day to day life... Valid points...
Thanks for sharing.. 🎉🎉🎉
I had the same issue, as you, mine got blocked at 17 years old, my confidence exploded when i moved into another country, my clients in my new job started praising me and my job, girls were eating me with their eyes.
Improve yourself and confidence are the key.
Now people say i have high ego, my haters, they were used to a no confidence guy.
I came here for the free advice, not to be reminded that I'm single and 21

You want advice? Get up from the bed, get out of the house and start training, confidence will come from itself and with it everything that you ever wanted
@@nicolae-alexandruluca7853 Funny thing. I actually do go to the gym lol and it has helped. I even matched with a girl about a week ago and convo has been going good
It's all good pal we're both in the same boat
I really appreciate your video. I am a visual leaner, so i really like this style of yours. Unfortunately, I can't relate much, cuz my blockage is on the genetic level. I am on the spectrum and while those advices can "correct" the issues, they don't necessarily remove it down to the root. I still appreciate your work tho, you can't help me a lot, but you can change others.I am Not thinking of myself as some insignificant little brat, even though my style might seem like it, it just hurts to realize that i will be falling behind, even if it's just one small step in every day live. But hey, still trying to embrace my strengths, recently found gf, and got accepted to uni, so life isn't that bad, still trying to watch your channel, simply because it makes me calm down and just chill even though they don't help much. I am really grateful to be living on the same planet with you.
You're a legend man, you did not need to do this but it says so much about your character. Keep being the best you every single day, everyone gets a stack of cards at the start of life, some are at a disadvantage but if you're strategic enough you can win the game. Put trust in that brother 👊❤
May allah heal you and guide your heart to Islam. That's the best prayer I can give someone. You look like a really good person. I'm sorry about your autism I know it's really hard.

THIS is what educational videos need to be like, just down to earth dudes teaching something. not heavily edited bullshit
I feel you bro, I feel like sometimes when I don't add heaps of edits to my vids that people won't enjoy them, but funny enough the videos that I spend the least amount of time on - people enjoy them the most 😂
Hey ! If you enjoyed these types of videos, there is a youtube channel called jetavanaramaya buddhist monastery and it's about a Buddhist monk who has a whiteboard like this and he speaks about super cool stuff and life improvement! I really enjoy that channel, and i think you would too if you like these types of simple content, one downside is the videos are long about 2 hours, but they're super interesting and they help me learn so much about life. Thank you
2:34 You were speaking to me directly here
can relate it felt like a personal attack not kidding I had tears listening to those couple lines 🙂
The most positive dude on the internet. I love your content.
1. Intention must be not to validate yourself
2. Books to improve vocabulary
3. Improving looks to improve confidence
4. Speaking on camera
Thanks for this exciting inspired video!
"Your intention creates your type of tension"
I felt this one REALLY, i never wanted to connect with people
Ever, because i always liked to be alone , but i forced myself to do so
So i can develop good social skills and be successful...
Same bro, looking back at the
interactions I had with people I can now say that I was focusing too much on my feelings and my well-being ignoring other people's emotions
1:08 absolute chad
Can never relate better. I was a very mid looking teenager, still am. But when I appeared more on stage and showing my face in a lot of places, connecting and communicating with people, the quality of life just went 1000x better. My friends started to ask (mock) me 'how are you pulling girls?'. It even came from a point of attracting 0 girls to now avoiding unwanted attention from them, got placed before everyone with a really low grade... stepping out of my insecurities and being a communicator really paid off.
Thank you algorithm for so much suggesting this guy to me
In elementary school I got "bullied" for my looks, these days people compliment me and say I look good, but still I can't leave what happend back then and it always haunts me. No matter how many compliments I get my confidence just stays the same because I doubt if they are even real.
Great video, thanks
I feel that,I used to get called ,,Autist,, ,,Retarded,, and other bad things just because Im too calm(Im fighting myself to not lose my control because of anger).I have zero confidence and when I try to talk I remember these horible moments when everyone was against me while I was trying to talk. All I wanted was peace and all I got was suffering.
Sounds to me as if there could be guilt involved. For example when kids only get rejection from their parents when they talk to them or want something from them, want to show them sth etc. basically what happens is that just for being themselves - they develop "false guilt" for having a personality that has own interests. Because the parents only punished them for their individuality - later in life every time when this urge arises to express themselves from the bottom of their hearts they partly feel like crap. That is the false guilt for being alive and vibrant and strong, having own interests or being confident. So they cant live their lives fully and they might not think that they are unwothy of a good life but because of how the parents conditioned their nerveous system, they will often have this unconscious drive to put themselves down.
Maybe that is what happens to you. Just make sure you would wish every person alive to be confident and happy with themselves and to go out strong and good looking and allow yourself too.
please never lose your integrity. sure, don’t be afraid to monetize, you deserve to. but i pray you do so ethically & morally. your content is truly helpful, and unlike most creators, ive failed to find the “catch”. no link in your descriptions or your youtube bio promoting a course, or paid mentorship taking advantage of vulnerable people. it makes me truly happy to see.
I have always had a lot of anxiety issues. I always think what people will think of me if I speak. I never even comment on videos because I think people will judge me even if they don't know me. This video really gives me courage to improve myself. I thank UA-cam for recommending this video.
Thanks bro I’ve just started UA-cam and I find talking quite hard on camera but I’ve seen you’re journey and I believe in myself
I hope you succeed brother
It has been a huge benefit to me and my channel to see you building your channel and growing so rapidly!! Can’t wait until I get to your level and become fully comfortable with speaking to my audience through the lens!!
0:56 so cute 😂

Ayeee I love that quote
I have read one book in my entire life and honestly it's not always books that are the root of improving yourself in every way possible but listening to others especially cult people, the kind of peoe who have lived through constant learning and improving themselves to be the best they can be

@@nicolae-alexandruluca7853Nah bro all it takes is one good book to change your life and i’ll forever stand by that. Check out Lonesome Dove or 11/22/63, reading in school sucks and that’s coming from an avid reader. Reading for enjoyment outside of school is a completely different thing, just trust me man I have no reason to tell you BS.
Love your videos bro
I’m just done being depressed
Watched 5 of your videos and I’m gonna be better person soon
Loads of love ❤
So glad I’ve found creators my age who share their experiences, it’s difficult to find people who go through the same struggles.❤
We need more authenticity in today's world for sure ❤
You have a very rare talent for speaking clearly and eloquently. Liked and subbed. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Your gonna be a great father when you grow up an you can be a great father figure for this generation by teaching us these mandatory lessons and im just 13 so thank you brother.
5:57 I love how he shows his imperfection here, it really shows how human we are!
It's okay to not be perfect
Really appreciate that you’re just helping people not trying to sell us anything.
I totally sympathize with the logic in this video. I talk with a few of my best friends and I have trouble speaking at times, and the reasons contributing to this video shows exactly why. Thank you!
Hope this can help brother ❤
Giving you these 8 minutes feels like you’ve change my whole mind set. Thank you
Just watching any communication video lifts up your confidence a bit at least even if you don't get anything. Yes its true- because you realize that are many people out there just like you.
5:28 yes bro, i keep my phone nearby when reading and just ask siri if i don’t know. it has improved my vocabulary a ton.
Thsts great
I do the same thing too😅😅
Basically the 2 things you need to improve your communication
1. Confidence
2. Language Skills
To improve your confidence, you should improve your skills at certain tasks, improve your appearance, get more fit and start working out
To improve your language sklils, you should read more books, and practice your english/whatever language you're speaking. Try to socialize a bit more as talking to more people will naturally improve your vocabulary skills
Thank you, bro. I've been struggling with communication as I am growing up. As a girly who is very insecure with her looks and speaking skills, I want to change all over the years. This video is a perfect timing for me to see.
i have so much things in head that i cannot even talk all of them at the same time without forgetting one of them
Omg i think this is legitimately helpful, it’s more than just practicing vocal exercises, which is what I was expecting when I clicked on this video, it’s more about the intention of why you’re communicating ! Building up vocabulary could be helpful too because I never know if I’m using words right and that holds me back. Thanks so much!
The moment about connecting with people instead of aiming for validation from them - teared me up. I realised that that's my main problem, because of my insecurities and mental problems, i often look at people as a source of validation, which is obviously repulsive. Im gonna work on that, thanks man.
Bro cleaned my throat blockage for being judged by people,
now l'll try to not think what others think about me
A good way to become an asshole
Dude if only i could have met you earlier , you aint even directly talkin to ne but yet you are still a better friend that almost all the people ive met so far
Bro this is insanely best video I've ever watched on communication. Salute man
Thanks and lots of love from India my brother 🇮🇳 ♥🙌
I physically stutter, like in everyday life, and speech therapy is expensive... so it's even worse for me in ANY public speaking stuff or for presentations...
I was a stutterer too, but only in school. Not at home, around familiar faces and surroundings., it seemed.
Like he mentioned, there is a blockage and we need to find the source or event where the stuttering might have begun, friend. Hope this helps..
Thank you, Jak. You dont know how much you have helped me in the past 4 months. I am happier. I am more concentrated and productive. You are a blessing. Keep doing what you do.
so true
Thank you for sharing this man, much love ❤
Enjoy your life to the fullest no matter what circumstances there are , cause at some point we will regret what we have not tried when we could.
I'm being abused by my psychopathic sister and sociopathic sister :(( it's hard to enjoy my life
Embarrassment lasts a moment, regret will last you a lifetime
Are we not going to talk about how well you drew that tap.
i have interview tomorrow and i was all over place, fear of rejection, nervewreck , overwhelmed. I clicked on video to perform better in interview communication wise but when you talked about having just pure intention I realised my task is just and just to give my 100% and probably learn if not accepted and to comprehend my knowledge better why I have this gunk of rejection already. After watching this I have new perspective and all my anxiety just disappeared. I only need to focus on myself and my intentions rest is up to them. I am so glad I clicked this video. Thank you so much 🥺🥺
How was it going buddy?
@@Yasminijhum I got rejected but I learned what to improve and it was an experience
You could re film this exact video with the exact same points, but in the framework of literally any other self improvement end goal, and it would still be fantastic. This isn't just good communication advice, this is great life advice.
Hey jack i know you're not going to see this but i just wanted to let you know that you've changed my life completely man. You have one of the most unique and best advices ive heard and i'm just so grateful that i found you bro. Keep up the good stuff man. Much love from Sydney ❤
Nah man don’t doubt it, I read as many comments as I can, you should be immensely proud of yourself brother ❤️
Jak. You probably won’t see this but I feel pressured to leave this comment anyways. So I can at least say I tried. I need help. I’m addicted to… corn… and anytime I think I’m getting better I fall back into the same habits. I hate myself also. I’m ugly, I hate the way I talk to people, my confidence is in the negatives, I’m stupid, I’m starting college pretty soon and I feel like I have no control. I feel like I’m a spectator of my own freaking life… more than anything I want someone that I can make happy. But talking to girls terrifies me. I have someone right now that I kind of like, and have made some conversation with. I’m sure she’s just being nice though, and even the idea of approaching her and talking to her terrifies me. I could go on and on for hours typing this comment but I’ll just stop there. I basically have no idea what to do, and I’m tired of life. I’m not sure why I’m even making this comment but at least I’m making some kind of effort.
It’s ok, man. Just take your time and try to change what you can still control, for the better. I believe in you
@@hungduy4655 thanks man, I really appreciate that. I hope it does get better.
I'm no far off, but you must keep in mind that miracles are just consequences, but unanticipated. There has to be effort to turn things into something you want. Now ofc there's some things you can't do anything about, so just dig your path around them and believe that you can change the other ones. I believe in you and since you have made this comment, might as well consider it a little piece of "something which reminds me of the need to change" sorta thing. Really hope it gets better
@@mikeydotexe thanks man, I agree with you, and I have a strong desire to make changes in my life. But I can’t seem to actually do it. Sometimes I’ll start living me positivity but then every time I make progress, I get screwed over by my addiction and am back at square one. I just feel trapped. I think my only way out is to talk to someone I know, but I feel like there’s an equal chance of me getting better on my own, then there is me actually talking to someone. I just can’t do that lol.
Set a base for your freedom like- tell yourself everyday that you love yourself and you won’t go back, something like that. If you find yourself finding corn to be a escape from reality then play video games or hang out with friends or something that takes your mind off everything. And mate there’s always a tomorrow so try your best, tell yourself your free. It will get better.
Jak really is the guy who would help the people before him to fix problem that they struggle in
Thank you jak
Give to give brother not just to receive 👊
To him if he fixes others problems he fixes his own, he is intelligent and reliazed this
Thank u,this is my first video of u and this help me
The 2 things that really helped me was getting a job. I hate small talk but I got a retail job and when ppl asked for help I didn’t mind talking them through what they needed
Bro just born and decided to polish this Generation by his honesty
Just be your self, but for that You have to know yourself, start there😉
Point of this video:
1. Read more books
2. Talk in front of the camera at least 10 min daily
Thank me later.
i think the camera thing is amazing. i think it’s so important to familiarise ourselves with our own voice and personality, and not be ashamed or embarrassed by it. thanks for the video❤
Right now, after watching your video. I'm feeling more confident rather than getting motivated by Instagram reels and wasting my energy.
Jak, I think this video gives me clarity on how to work on my communication skill because, presently my communication is too bad.
I'm going to start working tonight on this for sure.
Thanks man.
An advice I often hear from people of age who passed through life is to care less, or better say, don't give a f about it. The idea is to still be connected to the world around you but don't let the ideas of the people influence you because the thoughts will overwhelm you so you either care less or live a stressful life.
7:54 "Ten minutes per day, five minutes per day, sit in the chair and just yap at the camera."
This is exactly what I did when Philippines went into lockdown. Being bored, I picked up an old microphone and plugged it into my computer. A year later, my voice has improved so much that I've been scouted for local radio stations.
Trust me, the first few recordings will make you feel embarrassed. Like "OH MY GOD. WHAT IS THAT" type of feels. I have some of my old recordings still with me (I believe?), last time I took time to listen it made me cringe so much.
Well if you’re cringing, I’m pretty certain that means you’ve improved as a person.
Yeah ahah I used to hate my voice on camera, but now I don’t even notice a difference. I think it’s more of a placebo issue. Definitely the most effective thing I have done to improve my speaking that’s for sure
@@JakPiggott i can tell how much effort and pratice youve put into speaking!
@@JakPiggottThis is exactly what happened to me actually because my school asked us to make regular voice memos, or just something to record the day or the last 12 hours.
I used to think it was stupid that they told us to do this, but I realise why they did now.
how did it affect your public speaking? i imagine it will improve your english speaking alot (if it's not your mother tounge)
Jak should open a discord community because it's pretty much going to be the best community ever button
It would be good, I might make a free skool community, but not a discord, to many trolls 😂
@@JakPiggottyou should actually donit anyway you would help us even more
That's really resonating with me brother, i've been applying all this skills development lately, intentionally and in just a few months i've become more confidence with not only my sense of feeling physically but in overall in my inner dialogue and definitely document the mind or the life adds tons of self awareness to the equation, thanks for this type of value, props to you man.
It was just the message I needed to change my perspective. Thank you!
brooo , i am the main speaker in an upcming event in my school and my partner is female classmate of mine that i have never spoken too , wish me luck bro
Wishing you luck. 🎉💯

Bro i was literally suffering because of my communication skills and i journaled about it and guess what! Your video showed up. What a coincidence !
Haha lets go man, W timing 👊
I can’t believe how easy this is now, thanks!
This man was not alive when my first son was born and I’m watching his video on how to be a better communicator. You can never be too old to be taught and you can never be too young to teach.
for the people in the western world , this is what you do for better confidence .
for us Asians in south east asia , we put on a fake british or american accent and we feel instantly better about ourselves
:0
This is incredibly helpful, unlike most self-help videos...
These 8 minutes and 13 seconds were totally worth it. Thanks Jak.
This put the biggest smile on my face, because after my last breakup i lost almost all of my confidence. I started reading a lot of books, started cooking healthy meals and going to the gym, and i even started making youtube videos. It's so affirming to see that i'm on the right track and it came to me so naturally
I am 14 years old. I have a serious stuttering problem and that's the thing that keeps me from having a conversation with someone.
dont let it keep you from talking to people ı know ıt sounds hard but dont stop communıcatıng . you can read books out loud as an exercise while alone. ıt helped me so much ın thıs matter. your speech wıll ımprove as you grow up ıt usually does. just dont give up and never let ıt stop you from communıcatıng
That’s cause u try to talk too fast u just gotta let that shit flow
1) try to connect not to impress
2)read books to learn basic words to express yourself
3)improve your looks try to be natural so that you van feel more confident
4)talk to yourself on camera so that you can improve your communication skills, share your knowledge or talk about your day.
Now start getting to it and improve yourself overall .
7:11 i used to do that, but I don't know why I felt embarrassed and stopped doing that, guess i'll start doing it again-
this man right here is giving such great advice . ngl all these things he said right now can change our life.
brother, you just changed my life, and had a new subscriber, fan and a brother, thanks man for your perfect advice
For the Newbie if you are actually trading in the crypto space and you don't have a sound mentor. Then you are certainly going to get liquidated in 90% of your trades. Yeah that's sad truth. I remember when i just got into crypto back in 2019 but later in 2020 i ended up selling it because i have lost alot trading all by myself without a guide. Got back into crypto early in 2023 with $20k and I'm up with $132k in a short period of time
yes you are right Exploring new investment opportunities demonstrates your proactive stance towards financial growth during these volatile times. Diversifying your portfolio can play a crucial role in effectiveIy mitigating risks..
As a beginner what do i need to do? How can i invest, on which platform? If you know any please share.
The first step to successful investing is figuring out your goals and risk tolerance either on your own or with the help of a financial professional but is very advisable you make use of a professional i am grateful to Michelle sule
Working with her has been a game-changer for my financial well-being. Her ability to simplify complex financial concepts and provide tailored solutions is commendable. Francine passion for her work shines through, making the financial planning process not only effective but also enjoyable..
Most people think, investing in crypto is all about buying coins and leaving it to rise, come on it takes much analysis to be a successful crypto trader. thanks sule michelle for the eye opening.
3 words. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE💪
The basis of it all.
Jak, please never stop being relatable. Please don’t get this annoying “how to get rich” business persona. Just stay the way you are, it’s great.
I won't brother, the world doesn't need any more alpha rich males. We need down to earth guys who make the world a better place, that's it.
This young man has got it and inspiring many! practicing on camera tip alone is gold because of the demonstration of his improvement, what a nice video content!

,,Curiosity Creates Opportunities´´
What I mean by this, is that if you maintain a curious Mind, you won't be disappointed when you encounter such Situations where you get, for Example, blocked. These Obstacles, are often just Products of our own Imagination; it is our Thoughts that create these mental Blockades and the negative Feelings that coming afterward.
If you can manage this - if you can improve your Awareness of your own Ways of Thinking and train yourself in Communication skills, learning, trying, and having a Purpose behind your Actions - you will definitely find, that you always have a Reason to move forward. So, being mindful, listen to your Body and your Emotions, they´ll guide you in such Situations.
Remember, being a curious and genuinely interested Person, is much more valuable, than setting Goals like trying to impress others, especially since that isn´t always possible anyway.
Have a good and successful Life!
