The things he talked about have helped me immensely with my shyness as well. I especially try to remember that "it isn't about me" and to not dwell too much on when things don't work out.
I started my TH-cam Channel for Introverts and those dealing with Anxiety because as an introvert I believe we need more people talking about introversion and anxiety in order to bring awareness and a sense of normalcy.
Great talk! Lessons in improv helped lift me out of my shyness. It was so much fun that I found myself laughing in ways that gave me confidence to let go, take chances and ty new things. Since. Since then, I no longer fear talking to strangers, and the lessons I learned about having fun have changed my life.
I recently signed up for my first improv class after going to my first show and hanging out with the improv crew. As a heavily introverted person, I imagine this will be transformative... o_o
I congratulate you on facing your shyness. I'm glad you said what you did. I still have a ways to go to face mine. I like that you said, I don't do it to change the world, but I do it for me. I needed to hear that.

I really loved this!! You don't have an idea about how much I've been struggling with shyness, this was actully life-changing, this a new beginning in my life and thanks for this video!
I really enjoyed this. Quite funny! And great message that I'm sure a lot of us relate to. Pulls me out of my head a little bit and puts things into perspective.
It is such a pain to be an introvert and an HSP to interact with people who do not understand you. Worst is when people ask you personal questions and force you to socialize.
You should check the Myers Briggs personality test to see if you are indeed an INFJ the rarest personality in the world. Usually INFJ' are highly sensitive and introverted.
I've made the experience that the most people can't be too long with us introverts because they can't handle the silence and get nervous very quickly. Everytime when I've sat in the coffee shop and people came to my desk they got nervous and left.
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and all those valuable tips. The way you presented them was funny and charming, which helps when dealing with such a challenging topic.
This is really Excellent speech i,v ever heard i can relate in every experience he share.Peoples who are suffering with Avoident personality disorder and social anxiety can use these tips to come out of their comfort zone and enjoy their lives with meeting new peoples.
Most excellent thank you I needed this video very much.Introverts indeed suffer and it is a problem.Not YET so much better than NO not at all.Genius video man incredible.
Paldies for the great tips, Kaspars! I just came back from a trip in your beautiful country and I must say that Latvians are among the unfriendliest nations I've met. Must be hard to grow up as a shy person/introvert in a country where people don't even say hi to a shop clerk and where the smiling rate approximates 0.5%.

*Anybody else think he looks like Chris Pratt if you squished his head down a little???* Great talk though! As an introvert and also sometimes a shy one, when I'm alone I'm the most outgoing, friendly and charming person in my head, but then in real social situations all my eagerness goes out the window.
i was a shy introvert. but i have improved a lot by the time i got in high school, and rn im already in the uni. And we re always told to create wider relations, so bcs the uni it's like a new start for me, i feel like i have to really step out and brace my self up. I always talk to ppl first, i want to make a good impression with new friends i meet in the uni. but im still me, even though i dont have any problem with startin the conversation, or meeting strangers, at some time i will be quiet so much and then my friends would ask me if im being okay. In fact, i dont really have a problem with performing my self in fron tof the ppl too (although sometimes the shyness feeling and anxious are still there, but i can manage it way better). The problem is that i feel so lazy now. i don tknow why, but everytime i'm going to talk to the ppl or performing my self there, i feel so sleepy and lazy in all of a sudden. anyone experiences the sam ething like this?
That really made me think about my perspective when it comes to interacting with folk I don't know. I'd prefer not to but he makes it sound like it just might be ok.
Great thalks ❤ I will start to day doing theart to fighting my shyness . I Will go to talke with each person without thinking so match because we can learn from everyone.
Not really. Introversion is just the way you get your energy. Introverts get drained from being around people. Shyness is about not being confident in yourself or to overly concerned with how other people will react.
No. Introversion describes how you react to stimuli, like meeting new people, talking in front of an audience etc. It is also closely linked to reactiveness and risk aversion. Depending on your response to certain neurotransmitters, you are introverted or extraverted (or a mixture). Shyness is more closely linked to fears, like being rejected or embarrassing yourself.
I love the fact that the video guide for introverts begins with an explosion of loud, jarring music and bright, flashing lights. The speaker may well understand us, but the video editor perhaps somewhat less so.

ehh, introversion is a misleading label. Having your energy drained by social interaction is probably caused by fear. Shyness, fear, introversion, social anxiety are all interconnected. Our "over-civilized" mind just slaps a label on the problem and assumes that's just the way things are.
@@danylooo You can be an introvert and talk like that man there with all the confidence and you would say it's not a shy person but an introvert one it could be, then what? It just happens introvert people often are also shy because of low social skills. But you can be very confident in social-interactions and be introverted at the same time. Don't talk about something you probably haven't experienced.
@@marcnietocachinero if youre confident/comfortable in social interactions, why would you still feel drained by conversation (ain't this the hallmark of being introverted?) Of course there are those heavy conversations that will drain anybody but introverts are supposed to be have their energy drained by all interactions?
@@danylooo I am super confident and comfortable in conversation with friends and even interesting strangers. I got labled an extrovert recently by a shy person. I was surprised, I came across as extroverted because I really really am extremely introverted. I am exhausted and tired after a few hours of great interaction with friends. Give me an hour alone in the woods or at home to recharge and I can keep going a bit longer that day, but the actual interaction times between needs for alone-time get shorter and shorter until I've had some more time to be on my own again.
Introvert can instruct be creative mindful but when teaching engaging that is a different ball game. So standing there speaking is really not tooth ache

"It's not about you"
As an overthinking introvert this is the best but also the hardest advice someone has ever told me
this set me free xo
1. Say yes to what you feel and think
2. Be vulnerable
3. Don’t try to be interesting, be interested/curious
4. If you want to be appreciated, appreciate others (thank others as often as you can)
5. It’s not about you, don’t take it personally.
Thanks for the advice buff shrek

Shyness and introversion are two different things. You can be an introvert and not be shy.
FACTS!!
And you can be a shy extrovert.
But they often go together.
@@dielicagold Not always and maybe it's less obvious if the introvert is outgoing.
@@Jo_Bond Doesn't 'often go together' imply not always? You're right, of course
The things he talked about have helped me immensely with my shyness as well. I especially try to remember that "it isn't about me" and to not dwell too much on when things don't work out.

Great talk. Living alone is very difficult sometimes. Connection may help create meaning in life.

"we protect ourselves from the good" that one hit me. all the missed opportunities and relationships i bypassed makes me sad.
It is such a pain to be an introvert and an HSP to interact with people who do not understand you. Worst is when people ask you personal questions and force you to socialize.
And the constant nagging in your brain about what people are thinking.
You should check the Myers Briggs personality test to see if you are indeed an INFJ the rarest personality in the world. Usually INFJ' are highly sensitive and introverted.
No you see, the worst is when you want them to ask personal questions but they don't care and you're too polite to blurt it out 😭
What is HSP? ( Hello from 2022) : )

Great insights here, Kaspars. Thank You.
Shyness and introvert goes hand in hand. Not sure why people making such a distinction between two
Actually yes, shyness makes you an introvert "de facto" because you're more confortable being alone when you're shy
Not really. Introversion is just the way you get your energy. Introverts get drained from being around people. Shyness is about not being confident in yourself or to overly concerned with how other people will react.

@@Noah-zr7zd hmm interesting take on that, make sense
@@superswag3252 find that most shy people are extraverted because they have the desire to talk to people but just can't

He’s hilarious. I mean, this is informative too but I love the comedy lol
nice dp lol
this was very wise and the tips like how to not take it persoanly as its NOT ABOUT US is something i need to improv and download to ma brainn!

This is about shyness, not introversion.
In most cases, it occurs together. The biggest problem an introvert has is lack of social skills. I am an introvert and shy person.
