How to enter and exit conversations without being awkward

This one might spark a bit of debate... 😬
You will inevitably have to enter and exit conversations with people that you enjoy and don't enjoy. The key is how do you do it gracefully without feeling awkward... Well here's my approach.
Type in the comments how you would approach these situations, I'm interested to hear 🤔

[@brainactivity737]

I would rather just say I'm out of water without saying I'll be back if my intention wasn't to come back. I try avoiding giving people false hopes because some people are in such a bad condition that you might be the only hope they have so taking this away from them might hurt them badly. If you know you might not commit to something. It's better to say you're considering it or giving it some thought or maybe instead of lying. Treat people the way you want to be treated. 😊🤗

It isn't you who is wrong. The event, the type of people (audience) and the place may be wrong for you. I do not longer try to force barriers. I pick events that interest me and I feel comfortable in being present and enjoying myself. In that way, people "see" me and speak to me easier, "invite" me into conversations (or not). Letting go of the need to pretent someone I am not, is liberating and I save a lot of energy. Being polite is key everywhere. But I don't have to change my personality type for that or to feel less worth. And other people being rude or insensitive does't mean that I'm the one that has to feel bad! If I am not welcome, I just walk away ("Excuse me!" - and don't wait for them to respond, just leave), because that group would not be good or interesting or developing in any way for me anyway. Discover your strenghts as an introvert and let that knowledge build your selfconfidence. And being "not loud", does'nt mean "shy"! It means being "reflecting" or "polite" or "tuning in" or many other good things, that are invisible yet important. Or it just means "I don't care, but I don't have to tell that everybody". 😂

[@mathieuvernizeau9135]

What is labelled as being introvert, really is being a shit scared life. I'm a life, you're a life, everybody is a life. The thing is when your mind works against you - trying to predict a future that hasn't even happened, or remembering a past that does not exist anymore - it doesn't allow yourself to live the situations as they are, or how they could potentially be. Instead you make yourself a concrete block, based on whatever your mind is scared of, trying to engage in a constant evolving life process. Trying to be in the moment isn't gonna help you either. Because life is not a successions of one moment then another one where you choose to be in one and forget to be in the next one. Life is an eternal moment. It is just evolving constantly. You being scared is just you not allowing youself to evolve with it. It's like this : You are in a boat that you cannot get out. You encounter a beautiful island and you choose to drop anchor so you can enjoy the view. But the island starts running away. Because actually the anchor is an illusion. You can never settle anywhere, its not that you shouldn't (as some pro mindsetters could present it) it just that it is impossible. The moment you try to drop anchor, tension happens. So don't try to keep it between your arms it's too much effort, you just have to come to the realisation that there is NO anchor. The moment you accept the impermanence of life and try to see it everywhere in every aspect of it, its true beauty will reveal itself to you The mind is like the sky, the thoughts are clouds. They are just passing by. You have to allow them to. If you let them grab you, suffering will happen but if you watch them, and accept them true freedom happens.

You cannot say you don’t care. Bc instead of being seen as some sincere person, and being admired for that, You will be seen as someone who harbors some secret hate or hatred (example: to your studies’ companions: classmates etc.) and thuuus will be super rejected and your action of “leaving sincerely” will be amplified as being unsincere for something else (of being the cover for something bigger.)

[@inexorableentertainment4756]

I realized that every social encounter is completely different and having a premeditated conversation ready to go like the gentleman in the video can only get you so far. At parties, I usually tend to vibe by myself if I do not know everyone. I enjoy dancing by myself, but I’m open to people joining me. If people enjoy your vibe and energy, they’ll be attracted to it and will likely join. Social gatherings where no dancing is involved, I usually scope out the conversations. (Intently listening) It’s pretty easy to tell if it’s a conversation that will appease you or it’ll bore you. Choose wisely there because if it’s usually a conversation that appeases you, for the most part, you’re already on the same wavelength. Reading the room and energy is a big one! We live in a time where instant gratification is a big part of our lives, and we’ll completely bale out of conversations that aren’t exciting to us, but I try not to. Try to learn something new from a conversation that is completely alien to you. Be inquisitive and ask questions, Be genuinely curious and interested about learning new things and people for the most part will be open to teach you and explain things that they’re usually passionate about. It’s okay to say “could you explain that in baby terms” I learned a lot about stocks at a party one time 😂 I was genuinely interested. Some other person thought me about vectors since he was a physicist, and I was excited about the upcoming Oppenheimer movie 🍿 If you’re a guy trying to get laid, women pick up on that from a mile away and usually it’s a big turn off energy. I have learned this happens when you both hit lighting in a bottle, and these situations are mutual. My experiences aren’t textbook, but I hope you all found it interested nonetheless.

I find these natural enough and do them myself sometimes the only drawback is as others have said, is that in his examples you're lying and you might be taking on a character. If this is your entry way into socializing then great since it gets you going in the right direction. But in my opinion isn't the final level. Even though it's uncomfortable and you'll be scared, like all great new learning experiences tend to feel, practicing being honest without being a dick is preferable. There's no mental gymnastics or wondering why you said what you said. Also there's so many cultures, customs, upbringings, stages of learning/understanding, temporary life situations with elevated emotions/feelings (or complete lack of), that you don't really know what you're going to meet.. sometimes you don't know that you're giving it off. I think it gets unnecessarily convoluted, frustrating, and often times leads to mistranslations(misunderstandings) when people say things just to "be nice" or you have to translate meaning based on your understanding and not the other person's own words. I don't consider myself shy, I do what must be done to achieve what I need to achieve, and when I encounter uncomfortable territory I think "this means I'm in the right place". My mom told me as a child "you are who you want to be", meaning you don't have to believe any intrinsic things about yourself, you don't have to give in or run away from being uncomfortable, you actively make the choices that lead to what you want.

[@Squirreler359]

I don’t like when people say brb and then don’t - comes off as insincere, fake and superficial. I think just saying something true like ‘this was great/interesting/thank you/great to meet you’ even just smiling at people and walking away silently and gracefully so as not to disrupt their conversation is better. And definitely better than starting a monologue about your bladder. I think its so much better to be clearer and more transparent in the end as it means people know they can trust your words and know where they stand with you (actually people have a very deep desire for the feeling of clarity and security that this knowledge brings) . It might mean that sensitive or egotistical people don’t like you but why attract them anyway? I suppose if you’re cynically there for purely business reasons the other option is to vary your approach depending on the person - some powerful/influential people are very insecure and almost need to be coddled, placated or make yourself diminished if you want them on your side. (Robert Greene: Don’t outshine the master) I prefer to just avoid those types altogether as its a poisoned chalice in the end - they might share some influence with you but it comes at a cost dictated by a fragile and immature ego. Better to go the long way around build up your own talents and skills and let the value of your work speak for itself - people will be coming to you and then you can set the example of behaviour and genuine connection that you want.

We really do take things by the wrong end. This guy even has made it his job, it's mindblowing. Why not just accept the situation no matter how it is ? Or just accept the fact that you want to hear a conversation, or leave a conversation ? Don't try to justify everything in your life because anyway you don't really know all the forces engaged when you take a decision. There is always an emotionnal part of life. And emotions don't need to be explained or justified. They need to be lived and feeled, that's how they resolve themselves. Just be entirely yourself, not only the parts you like or you think people will like. Of course it doesn't mean you have a right to make other people accept your emotions. They can accept them or reject them. And they will. Not everybody is presently capable to deal with anything. Just live life people

The thing is, extroverts or people like this guy who know how to 'engineer' social situations seem to don't know that... introverts know what you're doing. We're good at spotting actually genuine approach or talk. That's why I'm a boring introvert. I just don't get along with fake stuff.
