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

[cutelubyloo]

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!

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

[Grace-frhg]

loving your content at the minute! it feels very ‘real’ while still being an escape from everything going on right now!💗

[Sampass]

loving your chatty videos recently... i'm due to go on my year abroad next year (fellow languages student!) and i have LOTS of anxiety surrounding it, so your videos are a really nice insight! hope you're keeping well!

[PuddleOfCrimson]

Your eye makeup looks really pretty in this!

[Anonymous-zvfw]

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 ✨

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.

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 :)

[charlottewild]

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 YouTube ever talks about their relationship with their sister like that and it’s nice to know I’m not the only one!

[elliebuist]

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 <3

[emily]

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 ??!

[eireannsov]

it’s crazy to think i’ve been watching you since your gcses! so proud of u hun <3

[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.

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

[ellienixon]

Eve - first year of uni you think you're independent and don't need your family
Me in my first year of uni - my mum is the main person I talk to and she still gets pictures of my dinner every day and it's been 3 months since I moved in😂

[emlish]

Petition for Eve to move back to Germany after she graduates so she can meet the German love of her life 💖

[swymaj]

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

[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?!)
