The accent thing is called code switching, where you change your accent/dialect to match the situation you're in 😊 fab video, as someone else from the black country hoping to go to Oxford, I do worry about my accent

[@RevisionWithEve]

ahhhhhhh thank u !! don;t worry honestly

Totally relate about the relationship situation - i’m 21 never had a proper relationship, been on dates with people I know I should find attractive but just didn’t have the spark. I think putting pressure on yourself is the worst thing, we are so young, Mr Right will come one day!

[@hb3549]

Omg I SO GET THE ACCENT THING. With different people I speak in different ways lol and its so sub conscioussss

[@caitlinjohnston7490]

I do it too! my accent is so geordie when I'm in and near Newcastle but the second I step out of Newcastle it becomes SO different and people always think I'm faking and I'm like I'm not doing it intentionally I promise! Xx

Caitlin Johnston its called interpersonal influence when your accent changes depending on where you are or who your with!

[@swymaj02]

Yh. And being a Dutch born (West African by ethnicity) Londoner who's lived in West Yorkshire for five years of his life I do wonder what my true accent is. But I find a whole lot of British accents very interesting, and I wish I can switch smoothly, but that's life. Not trying to sound dumb or anything but that's me.

It's so refreshing to hear eve talk about not being in a relationship; with the media shoving the idea down our throats that basically everyone is in relationship and had to be in order to be happy it's sometimes difficult to feel validated when you're single, but this just really reminds me that even the best of people don't always have someone and it's perfectly okay :)

[@Anonymous-zv9fw]

Also from midlands and my accent changes ALL the time honestly your response was so relatable. And with regards to the guy that hurt you, try not to feel like a mug - everyone is young and naive to start with, positive side is you’ve grown from it and know how to spot the red flag in future ✨

[@RevisionWithEve]

Thank u!! x

[@charlottewild738]

So glad you explained the relationship with your sister! Me and my sister are both 5 years apart, the same ages now as you two and we have the same relationship as you. It’s definitely got better now I’m away at uni but still argue when I go home. I feel like no one on KZbin ever talks about their relationship with their sister like that and it’s nice to know I’m not the only one!

[@RevisionWithEve]

I'm so glad!

[@eireannsov2179]

it’s crazy to think i’ve been watching you since your gcses! so proud of u hun

[@RevisionWithEve]

Thank you so much!!

[@RandomFoxes]

Such a mood with the sister relationship! Me and my older sister were known in our neighbourhood as not getting along but once she moved out and our lives weren't intertwined anymore it just became so much easier! Now I've also moved out and moved far, we have to make an effort to keep in touch with each other and it's just nicer. I think when you move away from your hometown and meet so many different people, it makes it special to talk to someone who's known you as long and as intimately as your sister does.

[@sin4ever2007]

I understand the accent thing. I was born in Ireland and moved to Birmingham when I was 12 so picked up the Brummy accent a bit so my accent can switch without me noticing. When I go back to Ireland my family there say I have lost my Irish accent but when I'm back in Brum people say I sound Irish. By the way don't change for anyone, you are a beautiful person and still young, you will find someone when not looking :) take care.

I think the disclaimer thing can be seen as a self esteem based habit. You don’t have to justify things so much just for others who criticise you.

[@swymaj02]

Thank god you pointed out that boys and girls CAN be friends. Why do we still act like it can't be this way??

[@elliebuist8734]

I totally do the accent thing too, as someone with a Birmingham accent, living in Scotland, I definitely put on a more Scottish accent with Scottish people and when I'm at home I sound more English but it's definitely not as strong anymore. Loved the video Eve

Thank u!! X

[@melisanik710]

The accent thing is so relatable! I’m from the North East, but I moved to Edinburgh for postgrad and all of my flatmates were international. They had never heard an accent like mine before and I found myself having to tone it down so they could understand me. I definitely got a bit self-conscious about it, but then my home friends came to visit and they realised my accent isn’t even that strong in comparison. The struggle was real. 😂🙈

Oh my god I completely get the accent thing. I have a strong Yorkshire accent and went to uni in Kent so I constantly got the piss taken out of my all the timeee

[@RevisionWithEve]

it's sooooo annoying!!!!

[@emily0071000]

You still sound birmingham-ish to me, and i’m scottish, i think accents can go both ways people criticise if your accent isn’t strong enough and you don’t “sound like how you should” and obviously there’s prejudice against strong regional accents/dialects. I think people should be more open-minded when it comes to accents like why do you get to decide how everyone’s voice should sound ??!

[@scarlettford4618]

Love the content, so cool that you can speak 3 languages, keep inspiring us young women!!!!!!

[@ResemeeC]

I’m the exact same with my brother. He’s five years younger so he never got my jokes or understood that I was incredibly stressed about GCSEs, A Levels, and Uni. Now I’m final year and he’s doing GCSEs and we can joke around a bit and he understands the stress because he’s older. We used to just argue all the time and now we snap at each other because we’re used to it but we also joke alongside it. When he’s in his 20s and has a job etc. Im sure we’ll be great friends :))

[@ResemeeC]

Also, same with the accent! I lost my brighton accent at university because it’s similar to a south London accent and is considered working class and unintelligent. Can’t even do it on command anymore so I just have a very RP accent the whole time

[@ellereadsalottt]

I’m from Yorkshire and have a very strong regional accent, and went to Uni in the North East so was still surrounded by strong northern accents. But I spent a long weekend with my best friend from home at her Uni in Windsor and spent the whole weekend having to constantly repeat myself because no one understood me or how I could be from the same place as my friend 😂😂😂 (she’d obviously codeswitched to a more ‘neutral’ accent but if anything I’d made my accent stronger in a defensive way?!)

[@gregorarmstrong01]

It’s difficult to get away from being constantly apologetic. I do it all the time and my ex girlfriend mentioned it quite often which was really bad. I get how you feel in that way.

I've been getting accent anxiety since moving to uni (I'm now in my second year). I'm from Cornwall and I always wish I had a stronger accent because I don't look like a 'typical' Cornish person (not 'white enough' basically), but I'm extremely proud to be Cornish and wish people could see that 😂

[@francescahume1317]

totally relate to the thing about your sister! my sister is 22 and I am 17 and we've only just built a close relationship

[@amyukulele]

god i FEEL you on the accent thing!! i’m from leeds but i go to a sixth form in a much nicer area of the city where hardly anyone even has the accent so i get weird looks, but then my parents point it out when they think i don’t sound northern *enough*? i’m so scared that when i go to uni im gonna lose it completely or get the piss taken out of me / have people assume i’m stupid because of it :(

I get you with the accent thing, I’m from south London but go to uni in Nottingham, none of my friends are from London but I find that when I speak to a fellow Londoner or get drunk my south London really comes out as opposed to speaking with a general southern accent

[@lucypatricia1835]

Literally the first question tho ! I really hate the whole cancel culture and how much people don’t allow people to explain or make a mistake . Like with the Instagram story thing , you shouldn’t have had to justify yourself , like you go to Oxford, you clearly are clever enough to know what the rules are and know what your doing is ok . Don’t worry Eve ❤️

I totally agree with the 'camera voice' and telephone voice thing haha, sometimes my accent sounds posher and sometimes sounds very Manc! Your accent is nice either way 😊 loved this video!

Absolutely feel you on the accent. I moved from Buckinghamshire to Hull when I was 16, and swap back and forth aaaaall the time. Some people think I'm putting on the Hull accent and it drives me MAD. I've lived here six and a half years, leave me be!

I relate so much to you talking about your accent (Wolverhampton girl). Don't get me wrong I still have a black country accent regardless but the difference in me talking to my Mum, as we're from a very common part of wolverhampton, and me talking to my friends from Perton and South Staffs is definitely different.

It’s not that I hated the NW accent or anything it just happened on it’s own. Totally get what you’re talking about
