One thing I'm learning as a young adult is that it's usually okay to not say anything or be okay with being silent. You don't have to absolutely crush every single interaction with people. Being okay with most get togethers being a little boring, doesn't mean that YOU are a boring person of that other people don't value being around you. I think adopting a mindset of aiming for good enough instead of perfection, makes it easier to relax and then you can really enjoy the moment that you're in.

I love the sentiment at the very end about making the conversation a good time for you! Too often I (we?) worry about what the other person thinks, having a good impression- and being overall likable. But it feels like youâre taking back over and itâs empowering to think that âjust being yourselfâ will filter the right people into your life and send away the rest.
I guess I needed to hear that

Absolutely, authenticity is one of the greatest ways you can make someone else open up to you, that willingness to share your some hidden truths about yourself is a recipe for success in getting others to connect with you, because those you speak to are more likely to open up following you! Just don't over do it because there's a sweet spot with relatability and authenticity that you have to hit to really hit it off with someone.

what gets me about this channel is the numeric value added to the suggestions. iâm autistic and realistically these videos just help me understand how neurotypical people interpret others and act, and how to be more approachable with less masking. being able to quantify the conversation makes it so easy. i struggle with things like knowing where to look or when to say something this way instead of that way, or how to be taken seriously without being interpreted as condescending, or literally just what to say next. just the simple tip of answering 25% of the small talk questions will change so much of my ability to casually talk with people without working myself up over nothing. what a time to be alive

These are actually really great tips, and they made me realize that I've been doing these things subconsciously. đ
Like, I've had people tell me that they find me charming, but I haven't felt like I do anything specific, so it was good to hear specific examples to put words on it, because now I know that those things are what they mean.
I'm not saying this to blow my own horn, but rather to confirm that these things genuinely give results.
Just starting off the conversation with a joke - and especially the kinds of jokes you mentioned - is something that has really made it easy for me to meet new people.
It's not 100% fool proof - sometimes you just don't "Get" each other - but like you said in the video, most people want to have a fun conversation.

As someone on the spectrum, I'm drawn to these videos to help me figure out how to "people". They are helpful! At the same time they are confusing because videos like these encourage humor as a way to endear yourself to others, but other videos emphasize how using humor too much, or humor at the wrong moment, can make people dislike you. I guess what I need is a video to know when humor is appropriate and when it isn't.

Having done what this video speaks of, for most of my life, my problem was the opposite. I realized early on to curb my talkativeness.
At times I do relapse a bit then, catch myself.
Keeping several very brief jokes in my head at all times, I use one or two when I see that someone is having a bad day. Mostly, the ones who seem to need it are people who are stuck where they are such as cashiers in stores, servers, drive through workers. I always hope that I'm made a difference in their day even if only a small one.

8:30 is truly the key to great relationships and overall happiness. As much as it hurts, sometime you have to remove yourself from others. My best friend is a great example. We were inseparable from age 17-20. I had moved on to different things but when we would see each other, it was as if time had stopped and our lives would pick back up. Her personality evolved to selfish, manipulative and so sad for her. I and my family had to back away because she and her husband became truly draining. I wanted it to work but sometime the stress isn't worth the friendship. Dont let persons bad attitudes be your anchor. Create your own anchor!

The real skill here is making this all feel natural. Most people instinctually know the information in these videos. The problem is most people don't have enough practice to blend the two.
