The best way to get better at something is by doing it. Accept that there will embarrassment, mistakes and cringy things that you will inevitably do, but these are just part of it.

100% solid advice. Observing is probably the most important thing you can do to get better at conversations. I used to be considered really shy to the point some people thought I was “mute” as a kid. When I got into college though I started to get better at actually listening to what people were talking about and asking questions about themselves, their thoughts, etc. Now people actually ask about me and want my input.

One thing I learned from interacting with people is that everyone just wants someone to listen to their problems and actually care and ask questions about them. So I started doing that and it helped me a lot with friendships (I have social anxiety so it’s really hard for me). Unfortunately though some people don’t bother ask what the other person’s problems are and only care about themselves

During Covid, I stopped going out and stayed home. I spend more time on my devices rather talking to people outside. My communication has gotten worse ever since covid.

This actually makes a lot of sense. In high school, I never talked to anyone except for my group friend and they always did most of the talking. But when I started my first job, I was forced to talk to more people. To communicate with each other to do our jobs effectively and from there I became closer to them as well. I went from being very shy and quiet to more social.

I've spent more than enough time around people and social interaction to know that I do not get along with many people and I often just don't care enough about anyone to bother trying conversation, I'm happy in my own company

This was a much needed wake up call. I can't express how much I'm thankful to you for making such real and amazing content. Easily one of the best videos that I've come across everrr!

Every and each one of your vidoes, your channel doesn't stop to amaze me, doesn't matter if that's a confirmation of what I know or new knowledge, amazing job

I remember when I really did not talk to people at all beside some friends. Over time I started to talk more and it’s true, you slowly got better at socializing. You could even just listening to more people. I still don’t always like talking to people

I knew this "secret" for a long time. The problem is that I can't find people willing to deal with my socially awkward side until I learn, but I can't learn until I find people. I'm stuck in a loop.

You need to go out and practice more with what you learn and observe their reaction to later learn from them and that will help you become better at talkimg to people. So remember, go practice more by talking to more people and observe their reaction . Because thats how u learn

A key piece of advice for anyone watching:
I healed, completely, after years of social anxiety. At first, videos like this actually made me feel worse. But now i understand; there's a specific frame you have to interpret these videos in for them to help you.
The change came after I was so overwhelmed with anxiety, that i gave up on trying to be 'enough'. I deciding I wanted to be radically honest. I wanted to be vulnerable, to show my embarrassing feelings instead of trying to fix them first.
When I met people and felt nervous, *I would tell them.* "Honestly, I'm kind of a shy person. I feel nervous about not having something interesting to say." Often times, to my surprise, they took it extremely well and actually were MORE open and interested in getting to know me than ever before. And I felt like I could be myself -- including the vulnerable parts. I'd often even hear, "Whaat? You don't seem shy to me!" Because it turns out that being honest about your fear IS courageous.
Then it clicked. Why was I watching videos like this? Because I thought I needed to learn how to be something different. To not be nervous, to not be awkward, before I could socialize healthily.
The truth is exactly the opposite: Socializing well comes from deciding that it's OKAY that you feel nervous, that you're awkward, and being honest about it.
It turns out, your awkwardness is mostly your self-judgment for FEELING awkward. You think you're supposed to feel differently, that others "just feel comfortable socially." It's not true. Everyone gets nervous and weird sometimes, everyone has awkward silences. When you become okay with it, and own it rather than trying to change it -- that is, ironically, when you get healing.
What you resist, persists. Let yourself socialize AS socially anxious you. Let yourself feel shy, and then give yourself grace to not beat yourself up for not "performing." Confidence is not the assurance that you'll be liked -- it's knowing that you'll be okay, and treat yourself well, even when you embarrass yourself or feel shy.
So yes, practice socializing. But not as a technical skill. The thing you're actually practicing, the fundamental layer that all healthy socializing comes from, is this: You're practicing BEING VULNERABLE. You're practicing COURAGE. The outcome of any social interaction doesn't matter, only that you let yourself be brave, and honest.
If you're like me, it will rapidly transform your life.
Wishing y'all well. Be kind to yourselves.
