[@trapea8324]

While it's true that taking risks and being authentic can make you more memorable, it's important to strike a balance. Being overly risky or controversial may alienate some people and could have negative consequences. Authenticity is about being true to yourself and expressing your beliefs, but it's also crucial to consider the context and the impact your words may have on others. Effective communication involves understanding your audience, being mindful of the situation, and expressing yourself in a way that fosters connection rather than division. It's possible to be memorable and authentic without unnecessarily risking relationships or causing harm. Finding the right balance between expressing your true self and being considerate of others is key to effective and meaningful communication.

I wish I saw this video 1 month ago. During winter break I went on a cruise for 10 days and my whole routine there was wake up at 6am walk around everywhere on the ship and meet new people and talk with everyone until 3 am. It was one of my favorite experience in my life bc I suffered a lot with social anxiety when I was a kid and since I was 16 I would always try to surpass that and go talk to Stanger in my city. But this cruise was like my final exam. I literally became the most popular person on the boat and every 10min I would say hi to someone I know my friends could not believe it bc it was people from different social backgrounds it was so funny. But I still had some difficulty at some point I knew I needed more knowledge. Thanks again.

[@nicename7247]

If you have the energy theyll start talking to you, but isnt necessary id say if you start the conversation.

How to make friends: Be genuinely curious. Pay genuine attention and you'll never run out of conversation. Also be honest, so it's actually you who make the friend, and not a fake persona you put out to be likeable. Might seem simple, but I struggle with it a lot. Luckily I have a coworker that is a perfect example of someone who would make a conversation with a rock, just because he is so curious and honest, so I try to learn from him.

This reminded me of something I did. There was this one girl sitting alone on a staircase staring into the distance. Nobody else was around and that was the only moment where I had my courage up and straight up talk to her. I had to carry most of the conversation of course but it was worth it. She was very shy and timid and at the end I asked for her socials because I think asking for number is a bit too personal. We kept talking afterwards and hung out a few times. Honestly we could've been more but I didn't take a step further because I knew we wouldn't work together or at least I know that she won't be able to put up with my way of living after knowing her more. Anyway, now we stopped talking and I think it's for the best because she started showing her feelings to me and I don't want to lead her on. She's lovely, but she deserves better.

I so agree with the last point and I think it’s so important to not overdo it. Many other videos talking about how important speaking the name of the person is and while it’s true that it shows that you remember and that you listened I think it can come off weird when you keep saying it. Because it sounds like you’re in a workplace or like a doctor appointment where they keep saying your name it feels weird and not casual at all.

[@akademischungebildet5564]

Great video, slight improvement advice: if you make such a very nicely structured and detailed video, do a wrap up at the end where you briefly summarise each aspect in one or two lines so people can remember the overall concept much better. They will also remember the details much better if they can structure them in their head so reminding them of the 5 steps really helps a lot by only adding like 30 seconds to the video

[@amirtorhan2762]

I used to be an introvert, literally avoiding conversations with any stranger or person I didn't know well. I used to just sit at home playing games and whenever I went out I just minded my own business and didn't really communicate with anyone. I realised that's not the life I wanted to live or the person I wanted to be, so I started meeting and getting to know new people. I realised it was not difficult to talk to new people at all but rather interesting. Eventually I started initiating conversations with new people. It's incredible how many interesting discussions I have had with strangers which I never would have had if I hadn't made this change. Most people are very friendly and often happy to talk to you, but people will usually not initiate conversations with strangers, so you should try to be that person. It's very important to read signals though, don't approach someone that is clearly busy or not interested in talking. Read their body language. Now this just feels natural to me, and I will almost always initiate some type of conversation with people that I meet and find interesting. I have many new friends from all round the world that I can just message whenever I want thanks to this.

The majority of time people will search for you if they need something from u. Be real. Ask because you are really interested in them. Something got u curios about them. In the other hand, take risk ( as the video says ). What would happen if you talk to that girl that you find attractive? The maximum is a simple no. And remember that no mean NEW OPPORTUNITiES. Ask what you have to ask. If u find someone curious by something they said, ASK THEM. Probably you will never see them again. Hope u could find this help full.

oh how i hate being shy

[@pynk.7lory]

Usually, I enjoy socializing, especially with younger people or anyone hanging in my friend group, my friend's friends, etc.. but, I struggle to socialize with strangers.

i was a confident kid knowing how to talk with people and girls, till i met some friends. i noticed they dont really like me i tried to change to be liked. That was a big mistake and im still healing to be the old me again.

The first one is reasonable. Number two though is not. Randomly starting a conversation by asking someone's background is weird and feels unnatural - this is a bad ice breaker. Ice breakers are situation-based. To find out what works, what feels smooth, natural and what doesn't you'll have to try yourself IRL on real people.

[@wowkekejmejjdneejenenhdht]

As much as I see where you're coming from, I wouldn't say it's a bad ice breaker. There's people who might actually appreciate being asked something about their background. There's no reason to be super specific about your background either so it's not a really hard thing to share a little about. I can certainly agree about ice breakers being used for different situations though. It might help to make more of a connection by relating to the situation but asking things like how're you doing or where are you from are pretty safe ways to help break the ice too especially when someone could benefit from questions like that.

[@aspitube2515]

When I was growing up it became a need to talk more, for example asking someone for help. And all these small interactions I had reaching adult life started to slowly take my anxiety away.

Talking with people abroad is always so easy, though english isn't my first language and my accent is pretty heavy. When meeting locals in other countries or even going to events that bring people from several countries it's always easy to talk about cultural differences and whatnot

[@MitchCyan]

You’d be amazed how many people talk to you if you throw beer in their dog’s face.

[@wowkekejmejjdneejenenhdht]

That sure sounds specific 😂

Wow such great advice! Are you speaking from experience?

I guess it can seem weird for some people. Especially if you are man, and you ask woman about the district of the town where she lives. She might think what you're gonna start dating with her

How I Manage To Start A Conversation With Anyone Summary 🌐 Proximity and Eye Contact: Start conversations with people within one or two meters for a natural feel. Initiate talks with those who make eye contact, a form of acknowledgment. 🌍 Ask About Background: Step two involves asking, "Where are you from?" to spark conversation. Thousands of positive reactions to this opening line. 🤔 Share Knowledge and Ask Questions: Step three: Share what you know or inquire about their background. Examples include discussing Bhutan's happiness or intriguing statements about Nigeria. Adventurous conversations make you more memorable and authentic. 🗣 Branch Off the Conversation: Move on to various topics like their occupation, thoughts on the current country, and current events. This step builds the majority of rapport. 🎉 Invite Them Out: Step four is simple: Invite them for drinks or a meal, depending on the city's nightlife. 🤝 Mention Their Name: In the next encounter, casually mention their name to show you remembered it.
