He just expresses himself so fluidly, he is gotta do a vídeo on that. Wish i could. Its like when i talk to someone who is “popular" in school and stutter just a bit i loose all his attention which is kinda of undecent from his part but thats what they do when they feel more important

[@doob.]

Some basics: - Smile - Maintain eyes contact about 80% of the time - Let them finish their sentences - Listen for the topics you can relate with and talk about it - Don’t criticize (except for close friends) - Giving lots of compliments (but don’t flatter, compliment on what is genuinely impressive to you) - Learn to crack jokes on the right time

[@albertthepeacock8020]

Don't criticize,condemn,or complain

[@hen618]

why would u smile lmao that just makes it seem like u either think they are funny, or something else is funny and it just makes the convo feel weird

You actually turned my life 180 degrees. I went from an unapproachable cold boy into a warm and welcoming man that attracts people that i want to attract. I went to a party the other day and if it was three months earlier, i wouldve sat in the corner and cried for my mom. Instead, i made a list on your videos, and found the consistency to become one of the main energy points in that party. It was the most fun i think ive evwr had in ny life and its all thanks to you.

for everyone who thinks they are boring, your not boring you’re just used to yourself. For example, I find my daily routine boring, doing school work, working out, writing for my book and drawing for my book. I’ve just listed 4 things that could spark a conversation. What you find boring could be someone else’s passion and that’s what you two have in common. When it’s your turn to talk no one said you have to keep everything hidden

[@TheMp3Guy-pn4cb]

[@saltybri93]

I'm an introvert and I wanna try coming out of my comfort zone, I find talking with someone awkward because I can't reply or talk about something on my mind because I'm too embarrassed. Thanks for this! If I didn't watch this I'll probably just become interviewer to them lol.

[@lieschen2882]

You can do it.. I went from not talking a few days in a row, to basically leading a podcast sometimes😂 Now I have to hold back every here and there lol

[@enderzebak2863]

you are not introvert ur just shy

[@Totsy30]

If you ever find that special someone that you can talk to seemingly forever, it feels like bliss. With an ex of mine, it was a joke between us that we'd talk way too late and drag on dates far later than expected, but those never ending conversations are some of the best I've had. Getting someone who reciprocates the same conversational energy is RARE, but it does exist.

[@tombradyfan1832]

This is my personal opinion, everybody is gonna have awkward or dry conversations at sometimes. If either of you aren’t on the same page, not in the mood, or not really feeling it then they become awkward, but that doesn’t mean you make a big deal about it. Now if that keeps happening, then maybe it’s a problem, but if it happens occasionally then you come back the next day and you click then your good to go you got nothing to worry about.

One thing that blew me away when talking to a guy I like…is when he remembered something I already told him. I’m so used to people never fully listening to what I’m saying. But a guy that actively listens to me and then engages with interest…it’s honestly such an attractive trait to have.

You gotta ask open ended questions, ones that arent just yes or no or option A or option B, you have to make better questions so they have to speak more about it, and if they still find ways to be dry and respond with short responses, say things like "that's so cool, can you tell me more about that?"

Question statement conversation. This is golden! Another point I'd like to add is that instead of focusing on having a long conversation, try to focus on having a good short conversation. Quality > Quantity.

[@vengeance7092]

I suck at having conversations not cause I’m mean or have a bad personality I just sometimes prefer to just listen or study and learn something instead of gossiping.

I have so many older siblings, but Shimon Davis is definitely the best one. Hes taught me how to be a better sister to my brother. Watching him makes me realize what a dick I am, fr. Im so glad that watching him has helped me change.

[@haffyyxo912]

This man’s videos are a breathe of fresh air, after a long stressful day of work I feel agitated scrolling on tt aimlessly. There’s something so comforting and intimate about these conversations. AirPods in, drowning out everyone. I don’t usually ever comment but there’s something so unique about him

[@PiggyProductions123]

I think that what I love about this guy is that in an age of flashy editing and stimulation, I find utter peace and pleasure in listening to someone sit in front of a camera with no cuts inspiring and educating people. People generally cover up their content with too much editing and attention-fishing and the message behind the video is lost. It really shows how much quality information you have to give when you can compete with other creators putting hours of editing just with the sound of your voice.

[@PurpleRain-dc6xo]

[@heyyy1325]

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love this video. sometimes we get so caught up with impressing someone or being 'perfect', that we forget to LISTEN to the person. once you shift your energy from focusing on yourself, and focus on the person and get to know them, conversation really gets easier. because you don't talk from a place of 'LIKE ME' but rather 'what can I learn about you?'. also good point about trying to be interesting in conversation- you should really go out and experience interesting things rather than try to come up with interesting questions or conversations lol. it really comes down to a shift in focus.

[@Shinssei]

This was a great video. The last part was the most relatable to me because I have a best friend who is also my crush. We've known each other for eight years, since we were in the 5th grade. In the last part of the video, I felt a connection because I text her "What are you doing?" almost every day just to check up on her. The texts are mostly dry and the conversations lead nowhere, even though we once had a much deeper bond. We didn't speak for a few months, and now, unlike with most close friends where I can just start a conversation like we never stopped talking, it's different with her.

[@Leen.Ashraf]

[@EspieTi]

bruh thanks lol, js this morning i had a really fun conversation with a guy, but later on the bus he tried to talk to me and cud I didn’t really wanna talk the conversation was dry. literally how it went was “what book u reading?” him “the hobbit” moi “isit gud?” him “yuh its jrr tolkien same author of lord of the rings, u know it?” moi and yh :’) then another was “there’s snow in the mountains” “i knoww that’s crazy, literally can’t believe winters already here in october fr” “last year it snowed on thanksgiving” “fr?? wowoowowo that’s insane bro I wasn’t here to witness it, winters been getting here earlier every year huh” “riiiiight? I remember when I was 5 it snowed in June, well not sure if it’s June, I don’t remember exactly when” “oh jeez, June? where was that?” then he went “tssssssss” like he didn’t remember and wasn’t gonna elaborate, so I went all “asking cud we live in higher elevations so it’s expected for winter to get here earlier, lower elevations meanwhile live in the summer” and so he was like “yeah, there’s snow on Mount Everest all year long” omg that was the driest conversation in the history of mankind. i was so boring bro, its cud i was done with the day i know, but this is a pretty recurring problem for me after I pulled out of school for ablittle bit and got social anxiety

Tip: never let a girl say "no" and ask them questions they can't say "no" as an answer.. then slowly try to comfort her with u don't rush it 😌 always make the conversation sweet by not letting ur girl say "no" once she's comfortable with u she would do anything for u. (This is a master method I use every time and I haven't missed a single shot using this method. anyways good luck and trust me this would work if you know how to pull it off correctly)
