Stuff like this is primarily why I subscribe to Josh.He's like the big brother that a lot of people never had coming in with those clutch life lessons.
Without being an incel or manosphere asshole about it. He’s just real with actual advice based on self reflection rather than hating women or foreigners
I've always paused in the middle of speech, I used to call it a brain stutter. When I did my TV training course, we had communication training (which was more like group therapy honestly). During that, I spoke about my issues communicating verbally, that I sometimes pause in the middle of my speech. The trainer told me that I was wrong about what I thought of my communication. She said that me pausing isn't a negative, it's me processing the information and trying to think about what I'm saying before I say it. And then she said that she wishes more people would do that. Genuinely never felt such a positive affirmation for my communication before, especially for what I always thought was my biggest flaw regarding it. And it makes sense to me. I always knew I was trying to find the right words to articulate my ideas, but if you don't hear it from someone, you just think negatively of yourself. Took me 26 years to be told I can actually speak and it's been such a different world since then.
Incredible advice. As someone with ADHD and always struggled with speaking, what helped me was just slowing down and realizing there is no rush at all. Now I yap for hours managing to articulate myself in a meaningful way
I do this now too. Grew up with ADHD and, even though I took meds, I realized I could just slow down my speech without there being anything wrong. It also allowed me to train my own word filters and take a step back from those impulses. Sometimes it's just a simple "wait, do I even need to bring this up?" question in my head while talking.
The only problem I have with the "Stop using noises to fill silence" is people these days LOOOOOOVE to interrupt others, especially when you momentarily pause to think on something and/or plan your next few words. Folks these days can't help but try to cut you off to make you listen to them. Its extraordinarily annoying, and when coupled with someone being taught to shut up when others are speaking, like I was, it results in me getting halfway through a thought, and then someone cuts me off and I politely wait for them to finish, then try to continue where I left off, only to get cut off again.
Let them interrupt. If they're not paying enough attention to what you're saying to notice that the thought was left incomplete or that you're searching for the words to continue it, they probably weren't receiving the rest of your message well anyway. Let them save you some time and wasted breath.
Say that you aren't done speaking. Usually this comes from a lack of respect or just thought given to you, and a simple reminder tends to refocus people.
The notion of thinking speed is also why a lot of people prefer for example writing by hand when Journaling. The fact your hands move too slow to keep up with your thoughts gives you a break to consider how exactly you want to write or not write the next section. As you starts the sentence you are already going through multiple versions of that sentence in your head.
In my speech class in college, we would lose points on our grade if we used "um" or "uh." Broke me of that habit really quick. I've noticed it's started creeping back in, but that's after decades. 😂
19:55 - Oh hey! C&C: Renegade! I was actually in the top 10 on the leader boards for that game for a minute as "acupofjoe" because I was a kid and I thought it would be funny if other people got the message that they were killed by coffee.
When it comes to public speaking I really love the lecture given by Patrick Wilson at MIT. It's called "How to Speak" and is available on TH-cam if anyone cares.
Back in University when I was doing my Communication degree we literally had a class where we had to get rid of hums and like, you know, etc. We would record ourselves and redo it time and time again. Great public speaking exercise. Never got rid of like 😅but the hums are gone lol 😂
I swear you have done this lesson before on a previous stream. Either way, I am glad I came across this revision again. Also, I like to add on a good tip for tongue twisters that I have taught myself. Read the whole tongue twister first and treat it as a part of a book or a useful piece of information you have to give to someone or an audience. Re-read it over and over until the sentences make sense. Also add a sentence over it as if you're replying to someone. For example: "Hey, where's susie?" "I saw Susie sitting in a shoeshine shop." "Oh, why is she sitting in a shoeshine shop?" "Susie works in a shoeshine shop. Where she shines she sits, and where she sits she shines." I don't do this all the time, but if I'm struggling, I treat tongue twisters as if it's a conversation.
Just be yourself. Being confident in yourself and who you are will shine through and show everyone around you and inspire. Dont ever change yourself based on a 20 min yt clip. Trying to act or copy another persons advice of how you should talk will not fool anyone except yourself. You are great the way you are, embrace it, build on it.
A while ago I was looking up ways to help my autistic son with his speech impediment. Tongue twisters seemed to be highly rated by many professionals. Its fun for the kids to do it and helps them learn as they do it for the same reasons you say here. It's been a slow process but he's getting there.
5:30 What Josh hasn't told anyone that doesn't know, is that this way of speaking with "at the end of the day" and "like" and other fillers, is the entire vocabulary of northern irish farmer culture AKA "Culchies". They will have an entire conversation with eachother that is exclusively fillers and slogans, and will still somehow effectively communicate thoughts, feelings and ideas to eachother.
It's thanks to Josh that I've learned not to use uh and umm when speaking. It's still difficult to not do it, but not adding those fillers did help with my confidence. Not to mention the audience does listen more intently when you fill the conversation with silence instead of fillers. Movies do this too, which I never realized until Josh mentioned this trick. Thanks a ton, mate!
I think one of the big things for me, especially as someone with adhd, is I slowed down my speaking. I take my time. I think of the words I want rather than just letting my mouth go at its full rate. It’s hard especially when over stimulated but it’s meant that often people have come away from interacting with me saying I feel I’ve learnt so much just talking to you
Umms and ahhs are useful in conversation because it signals "I'm not finished, please don't interrupt". In a public speaking situation you aren't going to be interrupted and because of that instead it makes you seem unprepared.
From a public speaking perspective I’m sure you’re right, but I like umm though. Umm is a thinking sound. If you ask me a question and I say “umm” it means “I have heard you, I’m thinking about your question, I would like to retain my turn to speak and pause this conversation while I think”. At least, that’s what it means when I use it
I've found that it helps, especially if you're speaking to someone who's not known for their patience and/or social graces, to say "Hmm" or "Let me think about that" instead. Like when I talked to builders in my old job, some of them will take any chance they have to cut you off, generally because they didn't like talking to engineers or thought they had everything figured out better than we did. And trust me, if you can deal with an impatient contractor you can deal with anyone lol.
@@JasonX909let me think about that is a powerful thing. It sets the pace and asks them to have the patience necessary for the conversation. In a more casual setting you might hear someone say hold up! I got something.
In regard to uhms and ahs: People interrupt if you don't say anything, the uhm and ah can be used to show people you're going to continue your sentence and to not start talking when you're still mid-sentence and thinking about what next to say (A lot of people I know love to do this, so it helps to make sure they don't just start talking while I'm in the middle of talking myself.) Edit: Public speaking is different sure, but you don't take this stuff into a regular social setting. If you're treating your time out with friends the same as you would treat standing in front of an audience, you're gonna have a bad time.
a friend of mine would just stare directly at who he's talking to to avoid filler words in conversations, he says "it stunlocks them giving me enough time for my cooldowns"
Correct as always. UT3 is insanely good, and it's a shame it wasn't as popular as I would've liked. Spent many hours with a friend many years after its lifespan just playing against bots, and I loved it.
I enjoy silence anyways so pretty much since the first time I heard about this stuff I dont do that stuff anymore. Though I am now also afflicted by always hearing it. I have the same problem with music where everytime I hear clapping or snapping to some beat I instantly groan.
Josh, forgive me for this, but I get so much out of this 2nd channel over the main one. There are so many interesting lessons, reflections and discussions that I find invaluable.
True. A big problem is also the "upspeak" when you finish your setences in a higher pitch, like you're making a question, even when you want to make a statement. It happens with 90% of TH-camr that I watch. It's not an american accent because even south americans, asians and europeans do that when they speak english. It's very annoying.
The only time I say "uh" and "um" is when I'm struggling to think about a topic, like trying to recall a past event and having to dig into the archives of my brain and put together the string of information which takes many many seconds, and I don't want the person/people I'm talking to to think I've finalized what I'm saying. Other than that, if someone starts saying these things, all my brain does is focus on them, and I depending on the severity of it, I just cannot listen to it, as it becomes so irritating. If you watch livestreams and someone's doing it a lot, the chat starts to fill with "um" and "uh", mocking them. Failing to end a sentence properly, falling into that trap, is another issue. Anyway, this is all super good advice for people still in schooling systems or working with people on a daily basis. Won't help me too much in daily life, but when I do have to talk to people, and if I ever go back to group social environments, that opinion thing is really something to remember.. heck can probably improve my online talking, god knows I've struggled with that all my life as someone with Aspergers, which I'm sure people can even pick up with this comment.
This is extremely funny to hear because I had to learn to mimic and use filler words intentionally in both my native and second language because people found me too uncanny and uncomfortable to talk to without them. I think this is useful public speaking advice but speaking in that way certainly hasn't made me more friends or fit in with coworkers as an autistic person lmao
On a similar note, people think they look at the evidence and come to a conclusion. They dont. They decide on an opinion then look for evidence to support that opinion. You cant change peoples minds with facts alone
Mhm. Josh is articulate and thats why i like his content. The fact he has thr worst mmo series is just a product. He sells this product with well written scripts and even better articulated scripts!
Thank you for adressing the unreal tournament 4 issue. I am still pissed at epic for this business decision, even though it worked out brilliantly for them. In its alpha state the game was already a lot of fun.
Genuine question. Where are the guardrails, if you're good at making people like you? How do you prevent yourself from taking advantage and leading them to believe things that are actively.....awful?
To all the people saying "ums" and "uhhs" can be useful conversationally to try to signal you're not done your thought so people don't interrupt you... On an online voice chat or something, sure, but in person? If someone isn't paying enough attention to you and what you're saying to be aware that you're not finished speaking when you're looking for the words to continue a thought, more often than not it's been my experience that it's because they're not receptive to what you were saying to begin with. Whether that's their fault or yours can vary, but at that point, finishing your thought probably wasn't going to do them any good anyway. Let them save you some time and wasted breath. Also, sticking to your guns and using pauses as you need, rather than "uhms" and "uhhs" will train people you speak with often to wait for you to finish speaking, because they'll get used to the fact that a brief silence doesn't necessarily mean you're done speaking. This can give you more control over the flow of a conversation, make your words hold greater weight, and people you speak with regularly might even comment on your behalf if someone attempts to shove a thought that's in *their* head through the gap you've left to search for a word or three.
Apart from the lessons in this video. I learned that josh his desktop looks like a mess. And that he's based in his opinion over unreal tournament games. Eventhough i enjoyed UT2004 more, UT3 had a feign death that you could abuse to travel great distances, easily one of THE best mechanics in any shooter ever. Also i'm gonna be installing UT4 once i'm at home.
I think there's a slight issue with that "over explaining means you're lying thing" A lot of people have gone through a lot of shit with people accusing them of lying at a young age, and therefore add extra info to their honest descriptions because they feel they need to. ((Edit: I am NOT saying that it never happens and that liars don't overexplain, it does happen, but a good liar won't fall into that pitfall and will just say something untrue as if it was true)) I mean, idk about other people but I specifically have that issue, and it's caused people to assume I'm lying on more than one occasion, mainly because this idea that "overexplaining = lying 100%" But.... If you're getting accused for lying when you're not putting in enough detail (people assume you're withholding info), AND when you're putting in what is apparently extra info (People think you're covering your own ass), you're in a no-win situation, despite having rarely lied in your entire life (not never, just rarely) I think this mentality is a bit silly that's all, a bit too all-encompassing and a bit too naïve of a view point. I get it, it's easy to assume and let's you have a "rule" for yourself that makes it "easier" to sort people you meet.... It's just that it can be 100% wrong and you will still think you're 100% right because it's being endorsed so much as a way of thinking that you'll never once doubt it. Basically just don't take everything Josh says with 100% certainty, he himself is liked by us and it's very easy to assume he's right all the time just because we like him. I don't agree with this one point he made and I'm making that clear because it's a reductive way of thinking and leads to too many cases of treating decent people like shit (I am literally a case in point)
Stuff like this is primarily why I subscribe to Josh.He's like the big brother that a lot of people never had coming in with those clutch life lessons.

Genuine question. Where are the guardrails, if you're good at making people like you? How do you prevent yourself from taking advantage and leading them to believe things that are actively.....awful?
To all the people saying "ums" and "uhhs" can be useful conversationally to try to signal you're not done your thought so people don't interrupt you...
On an online voice chat or something, sure, but in person? If someone isn't paying enough attention to you and what you're saying to be aware that you're not finished speaking when you're looking for the words to continue a thought, more often than not it's been my experience that it's because they're not receptive to what you were saying to begin with. Whether that's their fault or yours can vary, but at that point, finishing your thought probably wasn't going to do them any good anyway. Let them save you some time and wasted breath.
Also, sticking to your guns and using pauses as you need, rather than "uhms" and "uhhs" will train people you speak with often to wait for you to finish speaking, because they'll get used to the fact that a brief silence doesn't necessarily mean you're done speaking. This can give you more control over the flow of a conversation, make your words hold greater weight, and people you speak with regularly might even comment on your behalf if someone attempts to shove a thought that's in *their* head through the gap you've left to search for a word or three.
My issue is using caffeine to fill my social battery, but it than makes me jittery and i start to talk to fast and i stutter
Free education!
Apart from the lessons in this video.
I learned that josh his desktop looks like a mess.
And that he's based in his opinion over unreal tournament games. Eventhough i enjoyed UT2004 more, UT3 had a feign death that you could abuse to travel great distances, easily one of THE best mechanics in any shooter ever. Also i'm gonna be installing UT4 once i'm at home.
that coffee pot phrase is not that hard to say...
moments later
what have you done to me? 💀
I think there's a slight issue with that "over explaining means you're lying thing"
A lot of people have gone through a lot of shit with people accusing them of lying at a young age, and therefore add extra info to their honest descriptions because they feel they need to.
((Edit: I am NOT saying that it never happens and that liars don't overexplain, it does happen, but a good liar won't fall into that pitfall and will just say something untrue as if it was true))
I mean, idk about other people but I specifically have that issue, and it's caused people to assume I'm lying on more than one occasion, mainly because this idea that "overexplaining = lying 100%"
But.... If you're getting accused for lying when you're not putting in enough detail (people assume you're withholding info), AND when you're putting in what is apparently extra info (People think you're covering your own ass), you're in a no-win situation, despite having rarely lied in your entire life (not never, just rarely)
I think this mentality is a bit silly that's all, a bit too all-encompassing and a bit too naïve of a view point.
I get it, it's easy to assume and let's you have a "rule" for yourself that makes it "easier" to sort people you meet.... It's just that it can be 100% wrong and you will still think you're 100% right because it's being endorsed so much as a way of thinking that you'll never once doubt it.
Basically just don't take everything Josh says with 100% certainty, he himself is liked by us and it's very easy to assume he's right all the time just because we like him. I don't agree with this one point he made and I'm making that clear because it's a reductive way of thinking and leads to too many cases of treating decent people like shit (I am literally a case in point)
I spy icon of Tera. Didn't that go down under already few years back?
I feel that this much kwnoledge is something i should be paying for
well josh now that i know it doesn't even matter what i have to say if people don't like me, i have even less confidence
