00:24
people who are very shy like me I I think I'm very shy sometimes timid mr.

00:43
are shy they are very timid many animals especially small animals very tiny
6
43440
8609
00:52
animals tend to be quite timid quite shy so they are easily scared or they don't
7
52049
10141
01:02
like to show themselves too openly just like people so some people are very
8
62190
7099
01:09
introvert whilst some people are very extrovert they like to show their
9
69289
8290
01:17
personality for everyone to see well I am a bit of both really so there are
10
77579
8131
01:25
times when I'm very extrovert such as during my live streams and there are
11
85710
6839
01:32
times when I'm quite introvert and shy and that's normally when I'm with people
12
92549
7140
01:39
I don't know so if I go to a party and there are lots of people there that I
13
99689
5161
01:44
don't know I'm not familiar with I can be very very shy and introvert isn't
14
104850
7110
01:51
that strange I don't know why it just happens to be a part of my personality I
15
111960
6570
01:58
guess could you tell as the things or
16
118530
3689
02:02
situations that make you shy how to resist this feeling well sometimes you
17
122219
6570
02:08
can't help being shy or you can't help be
18
128789
6030
02:14
a little timid so sometimes it is a thing that is a part of your nature so
19
134819
5971
02:20
sometimes it is not easy to fight it and sometimes it is best not to fight it so
20
140790
7830
02:28
it might cause conflict it might cause you to have problems with your own
21
148620
5940
02:34
personality or the way in which you view it so I I must be honest I find that my
22
154560
6860
02:41
my way of dealing with people tends to change depending on the situation so I
23
161420
7569
02:48
can stand up in front of hundreds of people and I can teach them and that's
24
168989
6720
02:55
not on the internet I'm on about in real life as well so I can stand in front of
25
175709
5521
03:01
people in a real situation and teach but when it comes to social situations if
26
181230
9000
03:10
I'm in a room with lots of people who I don't know I am terrible I can I can be
27
190230
6030
03:16
very very introvert so it takes a while normally for me to become relaxed it
28
196260
7050
03:23
takes a while for me to to become comfortable in that situation so once I
29
203310
7230
03:30
start talking to people I'm okay but it's always those first moments when you
30
210540
5309
03:35
arrive especially if you don't know who the people are and I don't like that
31
215849
6600
03:42
situation and I don't mind telling you that I feel very awkward in those
32
222449
5760
03:48
moments I certainly do mr. Duncan here at the live stream you are a very good
33
228209
7950
03:56
actor Thank You tsukete I'm not sure if I'm acting what you see is me so nothing
34
236159
7080
04:03
that you ever see is is pretend so I'm not acting now this is still me it's
35
243239
7470
04:10
just that when I'm in a situation where I meet people for the first time I feel
36
250709
3990
04:14
a little uncomfortable yes that's a very good point
37
254699
5130
04:19
Anna many actors despise their job they are timid
38
259829
8580
04:28
you will often find that people who are very extrovert certainly if they are
39
268409
6931
04:35
performers or actors or singers or maybe comedians in real life they tend to be
40
275340
11250
04:46
very shy very introverted so it is strange
41
286590
5609
04:52
so I've often thought that maybe my teaching style is my real personality so
42
292199
9210
05:01
I think this is what I'm really like and this is what I'm like when I feel
43
301409
4350
05:05
comfortable with people but if I don't feel comfortable with people it's a very
44
305759
7051
05:12
different situation altogether and if you are like that as well there is
45
312810
4710
05:17
nothing to be ashamed of it's it's normal many people tend to feel awkward
46
317520
7649
05:25
or uncomfortable in certain situations so there are many people who can't do
47
325169
7321
05:32
what I'm doing now so there are many people and I know this is true many
48
332490
5489
05:37
people who could never stand here in front of a camera talking live to people
49
337979
5670
05:43
on the internet but I can do it I don't know why I can do it I have no reason no
50
343649
6181
05:49
idea why I can do this but for some reason when I do this I feel comfortable
51
349830
5569
05:55
so yes it depends I think it depends on the type of personality that you have to
52
355399
5651
06:01
start with I think so.
