[@luccatozzinidonady4683]

One thing that helps me is asking things related to someone's personality, something that makes them talk about themselves. By the way, its a good idea to have some questions ready before the conversation like: What's your favorite movie? Why? What do you do for a living? Why did you choose that? It's like a muscle. You are not going to be strong if you don't go to the gym. You are not going to be able to think of anything if you don't force yourself to from time to time.

1. Remove the filter: speak your mind out without hesitation . Stop thinking whether to say it or not. Just say it! 2. Threading: ask questions related to the answers that the other person is giving you to let the other person know you are actively listening to them. 3. The pratfall effect: dont try to be a perfectionist. People will approach you more when they see that you are not perfect and you have flaws too.

[@meowmeow-xz3lt]

as someone who has been the new kid 6 times and moved countries here are the tips i've come up with (I used to have extreme social anxiety) - tip 1: whenever I talk to someone new I always feel judged and pressure to say the right things so they like me, remember, they are people too and are most likely feeling the same way. They are just flesh and bones walking around each day until one day they will decompose and die. I know that sounds scary and deep but once you have that mindset its easier. -tip 2: no one actually cares about you!! "I wanna say this but they will think im weird", "I want to sit with them but they will find be awkward". bro nobody goes to sleep at night thinking "that girl I talked to today was so weird". they are all too busy thinking about themselves. and so what if they think you're awkward? if they have weird thoughts about you and express it then its a sign you shouldn't get closer with them anyways. Honestly (im a new kid this year) If i didn't approach people are say anything to them I would have NO friends right now. -tip 3: the three second rule. I personally, don't usually just approach a group of people, instead I approach people alone because it is so much easier to connect that way. If I see someone lining up in class and I want to say something I count to 3 and say it, and every single time I've said something they happily respond back. ALSO: to start a convo off for the first time I like to find a common ground- if you're in a class you could say to the person next to you "what do u think of this class" or an observation like "have u noticed ......(insert observation)". This will make the transition into the convo more natural. -tip 4: the rules of conversations: when you first meet someone and you want them to like you, there is a way to win them over: ask questions about themselves!! people are obsessed with themselves and they want to feel important, so do exactly that. compliment something you like about them, ask them questions and / or respond with an interesting story you have. actually listen to their answers instead of thinking about what your going to say next. BUT if the conversation sounds like your giving them a boring interview (they reply with one or two word answers) then its a sign to back off. - tip 5: STOP WORRYING ABOUT THE CONVO!! I used to be terrified of awkwardness and silence, but every conversation has silences. I also used to excessively try to carry the conversation. conversations are 50/50 so instead of spending the whole conversation worrying about what your going to say next just see where it takes you, try to enjoy it. If it's your first time talking to them then of course conversations will be awkward just give it time. -tip 6: KNOW YOUR SELF WORTH!! You need to walk into the room knowing that you are a fun and interesting person and people should be lucky to get to know you (don't be cocky though). Once you approach a convo thinking of the other person as an equal it becomes a lot less stressful -tip 7: LAST TIP, life is short, we are floating on a rock in the middle of nowhere and time flies. We will never be in highschool, middle school, college etc again so I wouldn't want to spend it all alone just because I wasn't brave enough to talk to people. You only live once so make the most of it (I know this sounds cringe but take this to heart)

[@rookinthebooks9926]

One thing Introverts are naturally good at. It’s always good to assess the person(s) you are talking to periodically during a conversation. Some tips, and I know it super hard with the masks, but look at their body language. Are they relaxed? Are they vibing with you? Or are they rigid? Arms crossed, maybe? Are they looking at you? Or are they looking at something else and are seemingly very focused on it? Facial expressions. Eyebrows furrowed? Maybe that’s a sign they are not interested? Are their eyes focused on you or are they focused on something else? What are they saying? One liners or full on paragraphs? Voice. Are they expressive, or flat? Do they agree with you or deject you? Now, you don’t have to be watching so carefully, but it’s something you can easily pick up on just by listening, questioning, and just being there.

[@Dribblio]

ONE MORE TIP: If you're an awkward mess like me who can't think of *anything* to say, here's what I like to do. I go through the alphabet and pick a specific letter, then a word that starts with the letter. Then at least I have a word. So you might pick b, then book, then go off about your favourite book. Works every time, except when it doesn't : )

Lol I randomly got recommended this, as someone who could talk pretty well, I’ll give you all some tips - don’t think to hard - be confident when you are saying a joke or punch line don’t waver and push through it - It’s ok to be slightly dirty minded/mean/weird, just make sure they are comfortable and well timed (people actually like it when you act this way because they find you more interesting) - Go with the flow, ask questions, listen, add to the conversation, - Do not be scared to share hobbies, if you play games tell them, you watch anime tell them, if you write books tell them Final note: If you are trying to talk to people, once you get in the conversation just roll with it, you will be surprised on how common you both are to each other and if you are different even better cause you can ask tons of questions

Huge note though watch out for signs, if they look like they do not care about the conversation end it.

[@Ky-zt2km]

Maybe start being genuinely interested in the conversation. Like, when the person you're talking to starts a story then start listening and asking open ended questions to keep the conversation going. It will get you more involved and when you're more involved you'll feel more interested. Maybe you could even find a way to relate to the conversation and that's when you speak your mind, no filter or anything. I may or may not know what I'm going on about but maybe it's worth a try.

It’s good to keep in mind that you don’t have to fill silence, and you’re not responsible to either. Some people just like to chill in silence sometimes. They’re not expecting you to entertain them, and it’s not your obligation either: it would be selfish for them to do so. I’ve also found it extremely helpful to ask people about their personal interests or niche hobbies they carry. You can “thread” off their monologuing from there :)

[@moniquesilcott3356]

It's not that I'm shy I just panic and go blank on what to say

[@astrielle446]

Simple tip: Say anything according to the location you are. If you are in school, talk about subjects or homework, if you are on a picnic talk about friends and favorite things, if it's just a casual talk with some stranger ask about their name, what they like, what do they do in their free time, and something they would improve on. If it's in a party, talk about foods, gifts, life, favorite things, and shopping if they like it. If it's a casual walk in a park or a street talk about things like about life, studies, what do they like, and what they would like to improve on. If it's on a big place like restaurant or a fashionable place ask them about foods, fashion, money, life and studies. Second tip: People always like to answer questions about themselves! So if you want to start a conversation ask about their life, their health, their studies, what they like etc. People also like to talk about things they like, for example just ask them what do they like and what they enjoy doing, and whatever they answer it keep talking about it, for example if someone likes fashion, keep talking about dresses, shoes, models, they will love it! Third tip: 20% talk, and 80% listen. People like to talk about things they like. keep listening to them and when they stop you can extra details too! people like someone to hear about them, so you can become more likeable! Hope this helped!

I have lots of tips for being social, from working in an incredibly social job: *People love talking about themselves a lot! (like me).* Ask them questions to keep them talking about their favorite hobby, activity, anything in particular. *DO NOT *TRY* TO KEEP A CONVERSATION ALIVE.* This will make things 10 times more awkward when they don't HAVE to be! just take a breather, if it's quiet, take your time, let it be quiet for a bit, and think of something new to talk about/add on to the old conversation. *TAKE RISKS.* Whether this be flirting with girls at a party to asking a very dumb question, this will ultimately make people notice you more for being different, and this will improve your social skills (and differing between what to talk and not talk about). Example, ask a group of people if they think pineapple should belong on pizza. People can get passionate towards this, and it even goes back to my first point! I hope this helps someone.

[@retrodull8796]

There is nothing wrong with silence. Stop seeing silence as awkward and don’t mind it, don’t put your energy on wanting to avoid it. When you master this you will need to concentrate your energy on the present and be yourself. Stop thinking about what others think about you in a conversation, think more about yourself and you will see how conversations flow. Also remember, the more activities that you do in your daily basis, the more you have to talk about yourself with people. So if you spend your time doing the same activities the less you have to talk about. A conversation will always flow if both sides are interested. So be interesting, do what you love and communicate it whenever you feel you have nothing to say.

"You know you got the right friend when you remain silent and you don't feel awkward about it" -some wise person

[@DizzyHotSauce]

I think it's important to remind everyone that every single person is too busy with their own thoughts to consider too heavily about what you're saying. Put their situation in YOUR shoes. During a conversation, you're focusing a lot more on your own thoughts compared to anyone else's. Even talking to people that are anti-social or shy, if you talk to these people you KNOW they're anti-social or shy but you don't judge them that much or think about it for that often. If a random stranger did something stupid or made a mistake in public, you'd probably think about it for maybe 2 minutes and then it's off your mind for the rest of the day. People are too busy being the protagonist of their own story, regardless of who it is, to judge you for what you say. Try to walk out of your comfort zone a little, because you'd be surprised. Being a little weird, or accidentally making mistakes, won't make people heavily judge you. In fact, people will enjoy your company for being "quirky" and being who you are. As for WHAT to say, if it's a fellow classmate or someone from work, you could mention recent events that are happening inside or outside of work/school. You could ask them about simple questions, like what hobbies they enjoy doing. If they have anything in common, branch out further with that. Keep going until you find something you both relate to.

Really? That’s great! I really wish I could see an actual therapist who could give me tips about social anxiety. I once went to my school councillor since I opened up to my mum about how I felt and she immediately rang my school up… which is the opposite of what I wanted but I obviously know she means totally well, she just doesn’t know what to say or do since I told her the problem I had was socialising. Anyway I saw the councillor and told her how I felt but I didn’t really open up as much as I did to my mum and she told me beforehand I only had 5 minutes. She ended up telling me everyone feels what I feel at some point and that it’s normal and I’ll grow out of it. You cannot fucking tell me that everyone feels sick in the morning before school and is on edge every single second of any social situation whether it be with friends family classmates or strangers, always conscious of how they are sitting what to do with their hands can’t relax their mouth or breathing struggles to make eye contact wants to curl up into a ball and cry whenever they answer their name in the register is always thinking about what the other person is thinking or being paranoid they’re staring at your spots hair glasses psoriasis replays every conversation in their heads sometimes even years after it took place I’m just tired of not being able to function normally and having to put so much effort into bigging myself up to do something as simple as walking into a room of people or even just to itch an itch on my face or fix my hair or push my glasses up. All for that witch to say it’s normal. Like man if I gained the courage after so many years to open up to my mum about it and then a week later for someone to say I’m basically just being attention seeking and there’s nothing wrong with me. This is why since then I’ve been writing down how I feel so much more in case I ever do decided to talk to a professional I would have some idea of where to start and not just freeze up like I did last time. Anyways what on earth am I doing I’m so sorry for being a burden no one will read this I might even ugh now I just sound like a pick me girl I can’t I’m cringing at myself for speaking about how I feel to strangers what am I doing I’m actually insane why tf is my heart is thumping at something so stupid as just sitting in a bloody lesson constantly thinking about the teacher picking on me or having to talk to my partner It’s 1am I’m so drained Ok I’ll shut up now sorry for being a pick me

[@Paul_Herrera]

@@rab.j I’m so sorry you have to go through all that. I’ve lived with similar issues and understand how terrible it is. Having trouble socializing, getting anxiety simply by having your name called or being talked to unexpectedly, even by family, etc. All those problems making it difficult to communicate, which leads to reaching out for help harder, which then leads to those problems developing further. Its a loop that is so hard to lessen. Let alone get rid of. I am fortunate enough to have my problems of socializing lessen over time, it’s a trend I noticed in my case personally. Despite still having major issues. Hopefully in the future I can talk and function like a normal person. My case might not be the same as yours though. I’m not a therapist or a professional in this sort of stuff. I’m just someone with similar problems trying to help someone out. I’m aware that seeking help is hard, so I can at least try to help someone on my own. I really hope you lose your social anxiety and are able to have proper functioning relationships in your future. You came up with an amazing idea of writing how you feel in order to convey yourself more effectively. I find it genius because I personally have problems coming up with responses and what to say to people in general. So I might do the same. I hope you get to talk to a therapist. One advice I have is to strengthen and create friendships, even with family. I know its cliche and WAY easier said than done. But even little things like complimenting or making random comments about whatever is relevant. Things you might notice while doing something. This is something I’ve started doing more recently, and it has made me more open and talkative, even if not much. But most importantly, its made be less anxious about socializing and being around people. I sincerely hope you are able to talk, communicate, and be around others with ease and without anxiety in the future. Get better. And if anyone else is reading this, I wish the same to you.

As someone without a filter, there are some drawbacks -I'm terrible at keeping secrets -I tend to ramble on a lot and talk about myself too often -I offend people because I'm just brutally honest, which is deffo not a good trait But hey, at least I can keep conversations going now

[@thecrxxpycl0wn493]

Its true that you need to be without a filter, but there're things that you need to keep to urself, don't overshare with someone you're not close. Find something simple and can be notice at someone you wanna talk: their hair, their clothes, .... and start asking about them more. Be a good listener would help too.

[@elvis5138]

As an introvert I’ve been alone for the past 3 years in high school. This year I’ve joined courses where I made friends. I judged them first based on what kind of character they were. We all seemed really introverted and we were all similar cultures and upbringings, also same interests. I found myself talking a lot and it’s the most I’ve talked throughout all 3 years. My advice is don’t inquire about yourself all the time. When I’m talking with my new friends I hardly don’t ask about their personal life’s or I don’t seem that interested but when they talk about something that I experienced myself, I will talk and make the whole conversation about me out of excitement. Frequently indulging in conversation and using reactions by expressing ur thoughts on that topic is wat I have started to do. I feel as if our relationship is getting better.

"Just speak about what you feel" "Ok, so..." (People listen but for some reason decide to ignore me and keep an awkward silence) It would be easier if the conversation wasn't one way around, or maybe I need to speak with other people...

According to a book I've read, it's better if you talk more about the other person and less of yourself, so speak about what you feel about the other person's life

What if nothing is on my mind? Getting the brain going seems easier for some than others. It seems genetic that somebody can be witty and rapid responders.

RAM if you have nothing to say, you have nothing to say. It's gonna happen sometimes. You should still try to keep these tips in mind and use them when you can. Maybe you won't end up perfect, but you can definitely end up better than now

[@oswaldbojangles5247]

Or if you have have nothing to say that makes sense to anyone who hasn't read your mind and small talk just doesn't interest you when you're in an awesome train of thought so you just fuck the world off... I find that's too easily done sometimes.

[@madeleynecarat3368]

It's not genetic at all. You know, I think the *master* at social skills is brandon rogers. His interviews are so neat, I always find myself analyzing him because he always knows what to say and I just- admire him, he really is great at conversation.

[@LifeFilmz]

To have something to say you have to be genuinely interested in the conversation. We all have opinions on things mostly on things that intrigues us. You also have to be present in the moment.

[@AZoe-mb6nl]

I don’t think its genetic, I think its mainly just observing other people and literally just practicing. Also sometimes you just have nothing to say and thats okay, you are not the only one responsible for the conversation. I also find that it’s okay to ask questions/make comments that aren’t so directly connected to the prior topic because you can easily find yourself stuck in a hole. More often than not the other person won’t notice that you’ve slightly changed the subject so yeah don’t focus so much and just let it flow

[@Dismythed]

I operated that way most of my life. For a time, I had lots of friends and lots of trauma. I then ended up with more enemies than friends and lots of strangers that like me. When I managed to properly filter, people began respecting me. One woman even became obsessed with me. The biggest idiots I ever met had no filter. I would say this video is great if you don't want any friends. I'll take respect and limited conversation over no respect and lots of conversation any day. The real secret to conversation is taking control of how you respond to silence. You can make it awkward by trying to force conversation or you can simply acknowledge it as soon as it happens and do something else. These days I view small talk as a doorway to comfortable silences. Small talk is meant to be small. You acknowledge the person's presence so that there is no uncomfortable silence and then you go back to doing what you were doing in silence. Simple. No discomfort. To me, the constant need for conversation demonstrates a lack of emotional maturity. It means the person takes no time to self-reflect, is not comfortable with their own thoughts, does not respect other people's personal space and is short on self-control. A real friend is someone who can enjoy the silence with you as much as the conversation.

[@hannahross4799]

Whenever I have awkward silences I usually end up saying ‘I’m so tired’ or ‘its so cold’ and they’ll be like ‘same’ or ‘me too’ then it gets awkward again 😂it literally never know what to say, like words just don’t come into my mind and it really annoys me
