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.

[@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.

Don't use this question as way to gauge what foreign country you think they're from or what ethnic group they belong to. This may be fine with 1st generation immigrants, but for 2nd and above generation immigrants, this is usually a surefire way to make them feel alienated or uncomfortable. And lastly, it is never acceptable to ask, "Where are you ACTUALLY from?" after they answered question two. All in all, you should be able to proceed to step 3 without any issues

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[@BurningMoreXP]

One crucial thing that you need to do.. you need to have a confident body language and be energetic when delivering those questions like you already knew them before and be sure to not have awkward silence in between question so you need to think about questions on the top of you mind.. if not.. you should have a list of questions ready that can work on anyone.

Never wait for someone to reach you. Base in personal experience, waiting for someone notice you is like the tree waiting for birds. The birds only finds it if they need something from the tree. 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.

if someone is focus on work it means that person is really passionate or hard working that person interests me

[@eligore6908]

Definitely sounds like great advice if, like you mentioned, you're in a place like new york. Contact especially possibly being universal. But I feel like the place and words you will actually say heavily depend on your country and culture of the two people engaged.

[@stueyphone]

Yes. Americans for instance are more open and ready to have a conversation with strangers, as opposed to Austrians.

As an introvert, thanks for the tip so I can avoid any of this to start conversation 😁

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

That sure sounds specific 😂

Dogs are the only worthwhile people.

[@corrosivecub]

Wow such great advice! Are you speaking from experience?

[@_noigbdot]

In my experience I don’t say “hey how are you” or “where you from” The sauce is acting like you know them (step 3 2:35) making an easy ice breaker and making them comfortable. Cracking a joke/ complimenting on what they got on and them talking about that subject. Question them but don’t interview them. Body language will tell if they like your company or not so watch out And remember it’s not what you say but how you say

oh how i hate being shy

[@UnknownXlll]

Mostly when I start a conversation with strangers I start by asking them something then I thank them and smile then I tell them about something I find interesting about them like oh your nails are really pretty or I like the outfit you're wearing it makes you look cute then they smile in return and start a conversation with me and I listen to them

[@sebastianradlmeier8922]

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.

How we used to start a conversation with a stranger: "Uh, hi, my name is (blank). It's nice to meet you." How we start conversations now: "Hey, check out this meme."
