im an introvert but im not gonna lie, these were some pretty helpful tips!

[@yourlocalflatiron6124]

THEN WHAT

[@Speed001]

So... do you know the 7 steps towards genocide as outlined by the UN? Response: -What... walks away/doesn't enguage/uninterested/tired A: Ah I'm sorry. Long day? B: vents or doesn't. A: uses empathy, B is imposter -No... why? Suspicious, guard up Else they could fein interest to learn about the topic. A: compliments B, says A was nervous and didn't know what to say. Or. A: You look like an interesting person, I'd like to learn a bit about what you know. Also I think genocide is an important topic that relates to many aspects of society. Everything from race relations, to domestic and foreign trade and economic policies, to simple stuff like video games. *at this point guage B's interest by their body language or give them a chance to speak.* B: How does the UN's policy on genocide tie into video games, seems like a stretch. Or. B: Yeah, stuff like *name a piece of media or history with genocide* *Either way, B has now enguaged and the conversion to conversation can continue.* (The above was added after me info-dumping about Undertail because that's the _magic_ of writing a fictional conversation.) A: If you're into game lore such as in the Undertail community, you'll see how fan writers integrate monsters into the surface world and human society given that humans effectively committed genocide out of a misplaced fear of monster-kind and then locked the remaining monsters underground for hundreds of years. -Yes, I do. Confident, guard down A: Ah, well then, um, do you by chance remember how to mitigate the chance of genocide happening? I'm a little fuzzy on the details. *it's at this point B decides to enguage or not* B:Yeah, basically try to get different groups to mingle and don't dehumanize a group of people this way it's harder to kill them, much like with a robber or kidnapper. Though I'm not sure if that works in any case where they don't plan on killing you, because typically you just don't want to give them a reason to harm you. A: Wow, I see, thank you. Where did you learn that bit about kidnappings? B: I don't remember, some online video. *Then A or B can mention watching cop shows if either wants to stay enguaged.* Then conversation continues for however long you can. I rate this question 1/3 for success, upgraded to 2/5, then 3/5 after creating all the above scenarios. This took me 34 minutes to cover 3 major scenarios for a 5-15 minute conversation.

He was on the fence about trying to hire someone, and I basically just asked for a job. We got to talking about the job and after twenty minutes or so he decided to hire me. I'd still be in "gig economy" mode if I didn't take the initiative to simply have a conversation.

In addition to giving genuine compliments, another great tool is showing genuine appreciation. Not just "thanks have a good day", but real appreciation. Around the holidays I always tell people in retail that I appreciate them being there. Get out of the mindset of not thanking people for just doing their job. I bought some glassware and when the girl was wrapping them up to put them in my shopping bag i told her "oh thank you for wrapping those!" And she was bewildered because no one had ever thanked her for just doing part of her job

[@lonestarr1490]

Oh boy, life would be so easy for me in the US it seems... You guys are really so genuinely unfriendly and unmannered that you can actually bewilder someone by thanking them?! Where I come from, people are so used to everyone saying "please" and "thank you" and "you're welcome", that these words long lost all their meaning. The only way to utilize them in order to make an impression, is by _not_ saying them. And that won't make for a good impression, I guarantee you that.

Although this guy is good and so are many like him, I don't usually watch such videos. You end up thinking too much and overanalyzing scenarios. Mostly people are embarrassed about what others in their locality/college/work might think of them if they fail at a conversation. So, try talking to strangers at bus stops, convenience stores or when you're on vacation. It doesn't matter if you fail. You're probably never gonna see them again.

Drama_Llama_5000 This is known as polarization. It's the concept of sticking to your beliefs and values and "filtering" through people who tolerate/enjoy/share the same values and beliefs and those who don't want to be involved with you or anything you enjoy. This is good because you get an immediate read on a person and vice versa. Time being wasted is at a bare minimum.

Wish I had that kind of luck, I've tried doing things like that and it hasn't worked... I just get a "wah?" and not as in they want to know more "what", but in a 'stop talk you weirdo' "what". Even if they do actually want to know what I'm talking about they don't really continue talking afterwards.

I'm not sure if we would need the people in it to sign release but I will look into it

[@alexanderparada8290]

I had a difficult time asking questions sometimes whenever I get into conversations with people and I didn't know what to except for myself. It just happens to be more distant and I get the weird feeling that whatever I asked a question it just seems to be something with that could be inappropriate. I get tired of having to stay quiet whenever I get into conversations to talk to people and this should be a good time for me to get notice for things to ask.

[@micaela5461]

The moments where I feel the most awkward is walking past a colleague at work and there’s no time for actual small talk because you’re both busy but you don’t wanna ignore their existence so you just pull one of these faces 😐🙂 and keep moving Like howwww do you make that comfortable

I know im like a year late but guys have had a system to aboid this for decades, and its the "nod". when you nod up it basically means whats up, and when you nod down its acknowledgment, and respect.

It works if you act uninterested but act like you know them as their friend as just shrug off the fact that you are single by talking about someone you may not like or people's actions you hate "I hate people like that they just act so idiotic and that why I'm single lol, do you know anyone who was like that?"

Hi Joseph! I'm late getting to this, but you can still ask a question and make a comment. It's just the third one that changes.

Watch their video about escaping the friendzone. And in case you are not talking about someone you'd like to date, just talk about interests you have in common :)

[@noahbrandini9560]

Always give value first, and see if they want to escalate the relationship by reciprocating your gestures and efforts. Try to stay acutely attuned to the situation. Respond as needed; do not force things upon a perpetually distant person. It’s not your job to fix them. Your energy isn’t infinite! No matter how much you want it to be. Remember that there are plenty of other men, people, and wonderful things you can do with your life to add value to others. There’s no need to get lost in the labyrinth of drama and ignorance or beat a dead horse.

Yes, I know about asking all the questions to get the conversation started. I am good at it. The problem with this is it can be a one way communication. Especially if they don't ask questions back. One scenario is that you'd be asking questions on and on and on and it becomes an interview. How do you make it so that the situation isn't Q&A session?

[@gabrielatwater5237]

This is GOLD!

[@mikaelamaverik2167]

The most important thing you can do is learn to be indifferent about any outcome and simply talk to people with a sense of adventure and excitement of learning about a new person. Don't worry about tricks. I don't know about you, but I don't want to trick people into liking me and talking to me. Being yourself still is the best advice. Today so many people are fake. You're prolly not compatible with 9 out of 10 people anyway so see rejection as a blessing.

[@vividchilling2492]

Woah this is a great way to look at it, do you have any advice on how to talk to random stangers lol? I have a little challenge that hamza is making me do.

Thanks man will keep these tips in mind. i have been following your channel for a good portion of 2018 now and i can say you've helped bring out a more social side in me. I've noticed i been making way more true friends after watching your videos. Would be cool to meet ya someday man. Either way thanks and i ll continue to watch.

[@Azazeil]

This is the most helpful video i’ve seen thankyou!

[@AJeanC30]

Goodness, this video was an eye-opener, i wasn't aware of just how much technology had affected the generations...this is stuff folks used to inherently know and understand at an early age from watching their parents and others do things like ask for directions, chatting w/someone and trying to figure out the name of a particular celebrity, or asking how to make a certain food dish. Suppose we stopped all that once search engines came about, haha! i was initially dumbstruck (as i'm sure most 40yr+ folks were, haha) that this video was even made, but upon further thought i realised it's actually an incredibly fantastic thing, to have this extremely-needed information available to people. So thank you, young man, for taking time to make this video ( :

[@leliza8477]

Oh gosh. That’s such a good point! We have no reason to talk to each other anymore as we have all the info we could possibly need online. I’m 22 and socialising is pretty miserable these days. You kinda feel desperate for going up to someone and making conversation now because people know the only reason you are talking to them is to try and make a friend. Which is “sad” to do, apparently

[@vm__]

Hey Charlie, I've been watching your videos and I'm really enjoying your content. I'm curious, are you able to break down what creepy salespeople do to guilt you into buying their product-and how to avoid that? I have some ideas but would love to hear your take on that. I've been approached several times and I feel observed and judged and then sort of awkwardly complimented and I always feel awful trying to detangle myself from their invasive behaviour. Then I always feel better knowing I didn't give in. How is that then supposed to be a marketing strategy? Again, would be very interested in hearing how you analyse that one.

[@PauloNideck]

Bro!!! This is facts, the part about having things to say preplanned. I’ve had a few encounters where I know what I wanna say & that’s what I’m focused on, and then they say something I don’t expect and I completely freeze lol

[@lord_egg]

I've recently started doing better with self-confidence (hence the pfp) and one thig I've discovered works really really well is literally just asking someone how their week has been. I've already started to make friends by doing this and I'm shocked how easy it is.

[@relaxable7014]

I am now in my late 30’s. I have spent my whole life playing video games and being ashamed of being a gamer. This led to me running away from most social interactions may whole life. Recently I started to focus on a business and stopped playing games. The first thing that I noticed is I became more interested in other people. 35 years of introverted behavior is now coming to an end. Turns out I wasn’t socially awkward I just had no interest in talking to non gamers. Now I have to learn how to talk to people in my fourties’ and I’m looking forward to becoming a stronger communicator. We just have to care, and we’re no longer wired lol
