[@matthewhoover8591]

Kyle, your videos are candid, informative, and generally very well made. The only thing I can say is that you should post videos more often. Keep up the good work!

[@Thedistilledman1]

thanks Matthew! I appreciate the kind words, and I will definitely try to do videos more often.

[@johnmaclaren8691]

I could've swore this channel had over a million subs

[@Thedistilledman1]

haha, not yet. but soon, hopefully!

[@flash12319]

The Distilled Man keep up the work. The quality of your videos are good enough to get 1mil subs

[@GoodBunniisticParty]

Thanks for educating me on how to make first impressions better. you're educating me on aspects that my school doesn't even introduce us to. hope you get 1 million and more subscribers soon.

[@DMalenfant1]

I am not about first impressions, I am about patterns. Anyone can come off as perfect for a brief moment in time, but can be a total pos. I have seen this with my own family members. But this video is great for people such as me on understanding how important this is for most.

[@lynxo5695]

Great video. I agree about the short stories. They help people get a quick summary of who you are.

[@marthag339]

Love your videos, they are so informative and they are also hilarious!

[@elishagabriell6529]

I love the bits about sharing small stories to describe yourself and your life! Smart!

[@mayfieldmanor5344]

Great video. This is well researced and well presented. Thanks for sharing.

[@noahdeist7434]

Thanks, Kyle. This helped me a lot.

[@mbhonimzamani8116]

So informative brother. Thank you

[@TheTraffic247]

The great thing about many of your videos is they cover life situations and are neither gender nor age specific. One thing I really like about your videos are the books and authors you incorporate into you video topics. Please continue to share books you think your viewers can benefit from. People have lost the habit of reading which sadly shows in our attitude, social interaction and verbal ability to carry conversations in different settings. Your videos are funny, articulate and very relevant to our daily lives. Just subscribed. Keep up the great work buddy!

[@Thedistilledman1]

thanks so much! I really appreciate the kind words. Glad you are enjoying the videos.

[@paulooliveira-io3xc]

Thank you so much for sharing this insightful video on making a great first impression.

Your expertise has not only provided practical advice but has also boosted my confidence in social situations. Grateful for your generosity in sharing these tips - here's to making positive first impressions!

[@justinflownow]

Great, great stuff. Just discovered you. Everything you’re doing, vibe presentation, information, production values are all spot on. Please do a video on opening doors for your date, when Man is on a date with a woman. Restaurant doors, car doors, revolving doors, also both doors when there are two with a vestibule in between. Also table manners like standing, seating, ordering from the menu, etc.

[@Thedistilledman1]

thanks Justin!

[@johnmaclaren8691]

Great stuff. I am going to have all of the mentees in my program subscribe. The most simple concepts seem a lost art to the post, 2000 future professionals.

[@HinaKhan-hg8bm]

Again i wanna say this kyle, you are perfect Mashaa Allah ❤ Love It n Love You 😊

[@samuelmatheis]

thanks for the advices. there is one thing i d like to ad, because if not known, it d b very sad for those who miss a chance. my experience shows, if u sincerely ve had a good intention, but there was not the time or situation to transport that to the other person and something seemed to fail and become a bad impression...then u usually do have another chance to meet the person again soon and have another chance. but it usually should b performed as immediate as possible ...for example two days later on an occasion.

[@dudevraj]

Hello there, I actually tried several of things you said and now I’m actually practicing those and to be honest it worked. Well your videos are nicely made and you do a great job. Clearly I see you read a lot of books and quoting them is really nice. Keep up the good work. As someone mentioned you should have gotten a lot of subscribers. All the best mate. Keep up the good work!!!

Baiscally you need to fake everything. It might be true for the ones who naturally are like this but being confindent on your own skin , being interested to others, it is not something that you just do. If you do the opposite naturally, you are going to be aware only to do this. You need to start thinking am I shaking the hand right,am I smiling, am I sounding confident. Etc. You can not think all things at once because you need to maintain both the body language, the tone , and facial expresions at the same time and be present at the same time. It is not as easy when you're used to act in a different manner and you probably had good reasons for it. So it needs some practice to be like what people want you to be.If it were that easy every socially awkard people by just listening an advice would act differently.

Eww that's lame

[@johnrainsman6650]

Speak less so you don't say anything dumb. Be TWICE as careful if you're on the spectrum. And most importantly, don't make the mistakes I have. I have reason to believe that my ASD makes me stand out and makes others perceive me a certain way. Do you know how often I said dumb things, like at work? I stupidly mentioned a man’s right to hit a woman for self-defense, and a new coworker proposed a new topic. And I doubt she likes me, because when I was casually chatting with a baker while waiting for the desserts, she entered and said “harassing the baker, John?” I asked why she thought that, and she said “Because you’re John.” I don't know if I can ever change that first impression. Or how about the time I told a coworker (whom I didn’t think would resent this, since he’s clownish, snuck up on a guy, and once made a weight joke to him) “put a sock in your àss. I mean mouth.” Shockingly, he actually did resent that and told me I can’t speak to him that way. I didn’t intend harm; he had interrupted a question of mine to another worker to, if I remember correctly, playfully diss me. I guess I was annoyed with the clownish interruption, but I didn’t mean for it to be obvious. But when it was, I approached him and apologized. But he replied unfairly: “you’re good, man. You just need to learn how to speak to people.” Way to make an apologetic person who already feels bad feel worse, hypocrite A jocular dick giving me the lecture feels worse. In fact, he's actually quite popular and well-liked at work. I've seen him have fun and get along so well with my coworkers, while acting like I don't exist at all. We pass each other in the hall or wherever, and he doesn't speak to me. Of course, I'll admit that I started the silence, since his hypocritical rudeness that one time, but I don't know for sure if he's giving me the silent treatment or anything. Either way, I'd say I'm not on his "good buds to joke with" list. I know he likes my coworkers better than me. Just the concept of being ignored hurts, and it doesn't help when they show admiration for the guy whom I think is obnoxious. And that's not the worst part. I was taken to my boss's office with her and a high-ranking chef. The chef told me that I've been touching my coworkers too much. Not THAT type of touch, of course not! Just casual ones, like on arms or shoulders. I was always very outgoing at work. When I asked her if anyone reported a complaint, she said it didn't matter (so I guess yes). She told me that we need the workers to be comfortable in a good work environment; that I pretty much shouldn't talk about anything other than work and school (we're a university's catering service). That I shouldn't tell my stories because they may be inappropriate to my coworkers. Now yeah, I pretty much don't have a filter, and sometimes I guess I do say "inappropriate" stuff at work, but not _horribly nor intentionally._ I just like to joke around and have fun with people. I really didn't get specific information from the chef about what and who. She understands/ likes that I'm outgoing, but she made it sound risky and in need of limits, for good behavior and my coworkers' sake. And again, that I shouldn't touch their shoulders or arms without consent. But seriously, I'm not a creep or Joe Biden. I didn't mean to be so "handsy." I'm so embarrassed about the lecture. Have I really gone that far at work? I already hate being on the spectrum, and sometimes I actually hate myself.
