In the 80s or 90s Father Tom gave an Alcoholics Anonymous talk (lots of those free on KZbin now), and because he grew up in an alcoholic dysfunctional family, he struggled with knowing how to act normal - without over the top, out of control drama. He said he would ask himself, "what would Nancy Reagan do"? Similar to what you are doing with Paul Rudd.

I used to deal with it every day. Now I only deal with it on occasion. Best advice I ever got was rather than trying to hide and never experience it, try pushing it and staying present. It is weird to think about purposely experiencing anxiety, but just pushing your comfort a bit further and further really does help. If touch is hard try going from fist bumps to hand shakes, then hand shakes with eye contact, followed by hand shakes and asking about how they are doing. Eventually hugs with friends.

"Paul Rudd is almost universally well-liked." Well, he has a likeable face. That always helps. To his credit, he doesn't misuse it! That - shows character.

This should all be natural, and the best way to release is to just get comfortable in social situations, you do this by putting yourself out there all the time and dealing with the discomfort until it becomes your new norm.

[@atrocious_pr0xy]

i've noticed that. being charismatic is, by nature, not to be forced. the "mistakes" are derivative of self conscious issues and an overextending effort to gain stance. i.e. one-upping someone's joke.

[@Klespyrian]

However, life isn't that simple. For someone who is socially awkward, videos like these can help them make others enjoy their company, even when normal social cues and behaviors are lost on them.

[@jamesniagu274]

Very true

[@snakeace0]

@@Klespyrian You didnt really dispute his point but rather proved it. Learning to read peoples emotions is only really possible by becoming comfortable in the uncomfortable. Youre shutting yourself off into a cage and threw away the key yourself by accepting your behaviour as "natural for you". Social skills are just that, skills. But for that to happen you really need two things. True empathy and true curiousity. Most people nowadays just want to seem charismatic and not really try to care for others , which imo is the true trigger for building charisma

[@tobydied]

I've been working on myself for 15 years and can finally see little glimpses of these traits when I interact with others. Maybe it won't be that way for everyone, but if you're slow like me, I just want to say, you're doing great. Look back on yourself years from now. If you care enough to try and improve, you will see change over time, even if it feels difficult in the moment. Also, find people you can trust to support you even when you aren't charismatic.

[@mrrrmcleod]

I have to say. I appreciate that this video focuses on the positive opposite of bad habits. There are definitely points here I can see I can improve on. Thanks for the helpful video!

[@SuccessWheels]

some NOTES here 1. DON’T SKIP FRIENDLY TOUCH WHEN FIRST MEETING SOMEONE: Physical contact directly correlates that you care about someone. You can try some of these things Stand up and handshake, fist, hug to start with. 2. JOKE POSITIVELY ABOUT OTHERS: Can be done two ways. One Follow it up by teasing other and second Turn the joke around on yourself. But keep this question in mind Does this elevate or put someone down, if down then try to comically exaggerate the other person’s positive attributes 3. SUPPORTING OTHER PEOPLE’S JOKES: This helps other to think their joke was good. Building other persons joke make you fun person to be around. Look for opportunities to build on their jokes and make them feel good. 4. USE DIRECT AND GENUINE COMPLIMENT: This can really work well when they are earned, specific, something the other person identifies with. So get into the habit of complimenting people when you think positive thought about them. 5. TURN THE QUESTIONS AROUND: Try to see in your social group who is been left out of the conversation and ask them a question. When you are inclusive towards other people it shows that you are willing to share the spot and that make people enjoy your company more. As always my crazy passion is to share summaries like started doing it on my channel with PDF summaries ✌ Let make some positive jokes on Charlie 😜 Noooo I am just joking 😀

I grew up pretty socially isolated, so I find these videos immensely helpful to pick up some of the natural skills pick up from a lifetime of socializing. Helps me feel normal

[@LadyPrincessDiana]

Be careful of the affectionate touch thing, though. Depending on the culture, gender or simply, preference of the other person, it can have the opposite effect. I'd only do it with someone of my own culture/gender and after determining if their personality is the type to accept such contact during our first conversation.

[@telsclark]

I agree I stat away from touchy feely people as I dont like being touch unless they are bestfriend family or lover with anyone else it makes me really uncomfortable

[@LadyPrincessDiana]

@@telsclark Exactly! Some people aren't even touchy with their family! I've been a kindergarten teacher in Japan for a lil while, when I was there, and parents don't even kiss/hug their kids. So obviously, they grow up to be the kind of people who aren't even touchy feely with their friends/lovers, especially in public (obv, there are exceptions, like everywhere, but generally, they stay away from that). That's also why I mentioned culture. So yeah. I can definitely see how it works in a bro x bro relationship in America, but in other cultural contexts, or male stranger x woman is asking for trouble... It can be a double edge knife, this one. It's an art that requires lots of social skills/knowledge, and it's something people "who lack charisma" (since this channel is targeted at them) aren't specially good at, reading social cues, and all...

[@Levi_music1]

When both people ask questions it turns an interview into a conversation

[@matthewmcguirk5287]

As an Englishman I became very aware of how culturally all of these ideas are suppressed. We aren't great with human contact in general, we have banter which is basically a justified way of putting someone down, we will also use banter as a defense against banter and thus undermine each other's jokes too. We are the masters of passive aggression and thus being direct and genuine, forget it. And we never really ask questions, just talk about ourselves. However, answering a question with a question or turning the question around, that has negative connotations of its own; often an avoidance technique, but could also come from a place of good, like Paul Rudd I imagine. No wonder the world hates us. I have to say I have changed since I lived in Switzerland, Italy and South America, but I am still guilty of all 5 of these just through naturally occurring behaviour ingrained into my psyche. Eye opening.

[@bamberlamb6512]

As a fellow English person I'm going to respectfully disagree, all of the traits you mentioned are common pretty much everywhere they aren't exclusive to English culture, yes you get some absolute bell ends but my experience is, if you don't act defensively or aggressively towards others they won't towards you. We as a generalisation are fairly private people but I think sincerity is valued and we are often suspicious of un earned flattery, I'm not great with people I don't know touching me or getting in my space but I don't think that's exclusively British. I would also say we are very self depreciating as a culture and that bigging yourself up is frowned upon, banter amongst friends is a symbol of this especially among men as it's generally understood not to be serious, but if you are a pompous arsehole who thinks the world of himself you are going to get the piss taken out of you. I'd also disagree that the rest of the world hates us although we do have a deservedly awful reputation as tourists, but with the possible exception of the Japanese, who doesn't?

We give her time to start the conversation and then she includes us in and she is always in a positive mood and always being appreciative. Obviously, we are very grateful and we love her so much for being herself! It's important when you have friends who are always charismatic and joyous to share that same experience with them or with new people you meet. Happiness and charisma can be contagious if done right. As for the physical touch or expressing certain emotions towards someone for the first time can be nerve-racking since you don't know if that person will feel comfortable.

[@TamagoEgg]

For people who are trying to learn from this video trying to be better, my takeaway is balancing your charisma and self-care especially the introverts that may feel burnout after trying too hard to make others happy. It is important to prioritize your own well-being and take care of yourself, even if it means not always being able to uplift those around you. It is okay to take a step back and recharge when you feel mentally tired. It is important to acknowledge your own limits and boundaries, and not force yourself to be charismatic or outgoing when you don't feel like it. If you find yourself consistently feeling burnt out, it may be helpful to evaluate why you feel the need to always be charismatic and if there are underlying issues that need to be addressed. It may also be helpful to establish healthy boundaries and communicate them to those around you so that they understand when you need time to yourself. Remember, being genuine and authentic in your interactions with others is more important than forcing yourself to be charismatic. Focus on building genuine connections with those around you, and don't be afraid to be vulnerable and honest about your own needs and limitations. Remember that not everyone has the same personality or character and we don't have to try to be someone else in order to fit in. Instead of focusing what you are lacking, try to focus on what you are good at. The values that you bring to others differ from every other person and that makes it ok.

Rudd consistently shows empathy, but there is a risk of burnt out from over-thinking. This is the fabulous thing about mirroring behaviors; you’re not always trying to stay ahead. If you get into the habit you find it easier in the longer run when socializing.

[@TamagoEgg]

For people who are trying to learn from this video trying to be better, my takeaway is balancing your charisma and self-care especially the introverts that may feel burnout after trying too hard to make others happy. It is important to prioritize your own well-being and take care of yourself, even if it means not always being able to uplift those around you. It is okay to take a step back and recharge when you feel mentally tired. It is important to acknowledge your own limits and boundaries, and not force yourself to be charismatic or outgoing when you don't feel like it. If you find yourself consistently feeling burnt out, it may be helpful to evaluate why you feel the need to always be charismatic and if there are underlying issues that need to be addressed. It may also be helpful to establish healthy boundaries and communicate them to those around you so that they understand when you need time to yourself. Remember, being genuine and authentic in your interactions with others is more important than forcing yourself to be charismatic. Focus on building genuine connections with those around you, and don't be afraid to be vulnerable and honest about your own needs and limitations. Remember that not everyone has the same personality or character and we don't have to try to be someone else in order to fit in. Instead of focusing what you are lacking, try to focus on what you are good at. The values that you bring to others differ from every other person and that makes it ok.

[@Malcolmdeeb]

I love that I found this channel. So many terrific videos with fantastic advice and analysis.

[@craywar32]

One thing I honestly advise people on sharing the spotlight is to emphasize the word sharing. Sometimes we blur the lines about sharing and giving. Take Paul Rudd in these examples, while he is complimenting others, putting them in the spotlight, he does it in a way we don't forget he is there. He shifts focus to the other person while keeping an important position, take the Hot Ones interview for example. Rudd puts the spotlight on Sean, but he shifts his guest position to an interviewer position, so the spotlight is on both of them rather than just on Sean. If you just give the spotlight away you won't be percieved as charismatic, you might even become invisible to others

You should definitely make a video about Jeff Goldblum. He's such a weird character but still incredibly charming and interesting to watch!

[@AudieHolland]

I'm one of the few people who did not like "Jurassic Park (1993)." Hated all the exposition, all the over the top WOW THATS INCREDIBLE faces when first seeing the dinosaurs Hated those kids, I wanted them to D** Disliked the female because I saw her in that terrible terrible movie "Wild at Heart." For the younger ones, she also played the toxic elderly general/politician in that second to last or last "Starwars" movie. But Jeff Goldblum was GREAT Sam Neill was FINE Bob Peck (the one playing the park ranger) was GOOD In my opinion, the movie should have been a buddy-buddy movie about these three men, strangers at first, who, through their ordeal trying to survive the park, build a great and lasting friendship. The kids and the woman could still be in it, provided they get to their Final Destination asap.

Things I learned from this video- 1) touch - in form of handshake or hug. Elevates the relation and ease up the situation. 2) if someone cracks a joke upon themselves, instead of aggravating it-vely you keep shut or involve yourself in the joke and support their joke. Or joke positively about others. 3)appreciate people. Turn the spotlight on them. Must be direct, specific and genuine 4) dont talk bad behind others 5) turn the question around to who asked

A interesting point in this video is about how important it is to reverse the flow of a gossip conversation. I don't see any videos talk about how to deal with gossip conversation.

[@topnotch8432]

This was absolutely great, Edit: Something, I started doing recently when going out to clubs etc, I'd have a brief chat with strangers and genuinely ask if they're having a good night so far. Somehow everyone loves it, maybe it's the shoulder brother type touching(physical touch not to women) combined with the "hope you're having a good night." Have made a lot new friends because of that. Something I am often doing is noticing people or friends feeling left out during conversation or even at an event and so when I am in the spotlight of conversation I'll direct it to them -most often than not they're not ready for that attention and often stumble it but no one thinks it's a bad thing to do. If it's at an event I'll go sit with them and talk to them.

As someone on the spectrum, I hate teasing and jokes because I rarely find them funny and never know how to respond, my lack of response probably makes people feel self conscious about what they said. Also, I HATE being touched. It is ok if I know someone really really well and I am not in a nervous state before it. If it is a new person I figure they are trying to manipulate a feeling of closeness between us. It does not make me like them more. Instead I am thinking "why are you touching me, we are not friends yet as I don't know you very well". Once I have met someone several times and have a real feeling of who they are and trust them, then it is ok for them to touch me, otherwise it means nothing. It is literally fake until I figure someone knows me enough to actually like me, then the affection means something. Before you know me enough, keep your hands to yourself. Yes, people think I am cold, but once they know me, they know I am a decent person.
