Welcome to Learn English With Deja — an English podcast where you grow in English and in life. In today’s episode, you’ll learn why some men pull away when you try harder, why over-giving destroys attraction, and how self-respect creates the space for someone to actually choose you. Feeling under-chosen is not a sign that you’re not enough. It often happens when effort becomes unbalanced, boundaries fade, and you forget to protect your own emotional energy. This episode helps you understand why these patterns feel painful — and why they matter. This episode is both English listening practice and a life lesson — your space for shadowing, listening practice, and natural English Leap learning every day. You’ll discover why over-efforting pushes people away, how emotional balance increases attraction, and why mutual effort is the true sign of interest. When you stop chasing and start observing, connection becomes clearer — quietly, steadily, and with more confidence than before. 👉 Subscribe for daily English practice and powerful life lessons. ⏱ Timestamps 00:05 Can giving more makes you feel chosen less? 01:37 Why over-giving create one-sided dynamics? 02:52 How constant availability reduce attraction? 04:00 Why boundaries increase respect? 05:08 Why doesn’t explaining your worth make someone value you more? 06:18 Consistency VS Chemistry 07:37 What being “high value” really mean? 08:36 Why is this a mindset shift, not a list of dating rules? 09:43 How pacing protect your emotional health? 10:45 Why is mutual effort the clearest sign of real interest? 11:49 How self-respect change your dating experiences? 12:50 Why letting go bring clarity? 13:44 How emotional balance make you attractive? 14:45 What changes when you stop over-efforting? 15:38 When you stop trying to control how someone feels about you. 16:53 Why self-respect always win? 📄 The free PDF for this episode will be linked in the pinned comment. ✨ Tags: #LearnEnglishPodcast #PodcastToLearnEnglish #LearnEnglishWithPodcast #EnglishPodcastConversation #PodcastForEnglishLearners #EnglishPodcastForBeginners #EnglishPodcastAboutDailyLife Sound Effect by royalty_free_music from Pixabay
