Awkwardness is the secret sauce that adds flavour to life, making each interaction a delightful surprise and reminding us that perfection is overrated.
I’m Asperger’s and really struggle in social situations. My whole family are extroverts and their expectations of me weren’t very realistic. So I masked. But since Lockdown, I realize that I definitely chose the wrong people to emulate in social situations. So I begin again. This book, Awkward, sounds like something I could use.
Socially fluent = neurotypical. They're socially fluent with each other. Neurotypicals are equally awkward interacting with a neurodivergent person. Socially awkward = neurodivergent and "masking" in order to fit in to neurotypical styles extracts a high price on the neurodivergent person's sense of self and well-being.
One of my poems says: "Clumsiness is seen as a negative quality, but it is a very humbling trait. It’s hard to be conceited in the midst of a clumsy moment." There are definitely upsides to being socially awkward.
Wow, this video is awesome! I call myself and introvert living an extroverted life. I am so socially awkward, but I love to talk to people; definitely will be using this. Thank you Dr. Ty Tashiro, and Jim Kwik!
My autistic ass being described to a tee in this video 😅 Every meeting with a new person basically resets all my social skills to beginner, until I have met that person a few times and have figured out how to speak that persons social language, so I start at square one with every new interaction, it is exhausting.
What a great conversation! And it illuminates so much of relational & social dynamics we see in adults, children, teens, workplaces... ❤️♾️❤️ Thank you!
I think personaly that too mutch stimulation for akward people when they look into eyes could be because of bad development brain in young age. becouse kid do not get anought emotional bounding with they parrents/primary caregiver. And they do not teach to manage their feeling in emotional bounding. Gabor Mate in book "craving mind " talk about that and how could be reversible and develop in later age. Specialy he fix his adhd in his 50s. And of corse this message is simplifed
J😂'adore Jim je suis taré, taré et français means crazy😂🎉😊. I love being myself and i never fit it usuel structure, i enjoy being intuitive spontaneous and just be human i love thé théory of Maslow of self actualised People i never get angry with others only with myself, i love doing thinking acting my way🎉😊😅
The core of a human and outer appearance can definitely be modified. interesting talk, I would say to clever people not to overthink until your thoughts are clashing with your progress, otherwise you get that stuck feeling, when in reality more than 80% all is okay and you're doing fantastic.
Ah...disappointing. You still don't convince me that the awkward are introverts. And I still think you are an introvert, Jim Kwik, but your dolphin CODE does not describe introverts.
Do you also feel socially awkward? 🙂

Fair, kind, loyal, I agree very much with these values ❤
This is so humbling. No idea why my brain short circuits in certain situations.
They can be more understanding and empathetic toward others who feel the same way.
I'm from South Africa and I love you Jim Kwik this is very helpful to me. Thanks. Shalom
Wow. This episode spoke to me, spoke about me. This is a great take away. Thank you Mr Kwik and thank you to Mr Tashiro.
Great video, great information.
