    1. Grease the wheels early with a compliment. Good energy or a platonic physical compliment. Don't dwell on the compliment or it will seem fake. Make it a genuine one, something you actually think.
    2. Reminds me of thinking. Use lateral thinking to transition to something else you both can talk about. Don't know anything about baseball - talk about the atmosphere of a stadium.
    3. Pings for topics of mutual interest.
    4. Get other people excited about the conversation. Peel the onion. Absorb what is important to them from the innocuous questions. Ask questions that are fun to answer: "What do you?", followed by "Do you like it?
    5. Create a connection. Laugh easily. Don't fake it but don't restrict it. Watch something funny before you meet people.
    6. Mirroring. Makes them feel heard. Builds rapport. Stay true to yourself ultimately but repeating someone's final words at the end tells them you are listening initially.

    The more confident you are the less you worry about awkward moments. If theres a pause in a conversation, just let it ride out and chill in the silence. You don’t have to feel awkward about it, its not your job to defend all awkward moments from happening, instead just refuse to acknowledge that its “awkward “

    • @angelapileggi6031
      @angelapileggi6031 ปีที่แล้ว +31

      I agree with that completely, the first step to something becoming awkward is giving it any focus. That scene in Pulp Fiction between John Travolta and Uma Thurman comes to mind regarding how to handle the breaks of silence, lol.

    The power of language and expression is incredible. I wish I'd have realized when I was younger how much I absolutely love the dynamic of communication, both verbal and non-verbal and all of the various nuance related to each. It's one of the first things people noticed as we shifted towards more written communication (Email, Text, Comments) that there's no real, for example, sarcasm font. Compared to verbal communication, with tone, inflection, and accompanying mannerisms like a smirk or tilt of the head, written communication is just flat.

    I used to feel uncomfortable and insecure when I had to small talk. But one day I realized it’s not completely my job to keep the conversation going. It’s just 50/50, cause the other person has to make small talk to. Since then, I don’t feel uncomfortable when there’s is a silence in the conversation. It helped me to relax more and when you’re relaxed, small talk becomes way easier.

And honestly I don't care enough to do so. If it's a test to see if I'm funny or something like that I won't even bother passing those kinds of tests because to me it just shows they aren't willing to put any effort into it and I'm supposed to try to win them over I don't think that's how it works in the real life.

      It may not be your situation but I realized that my lack of "personality" and social anxiety came from growing up in a quiet, awkward home that never really rewarded open, charismatic behavior. I would go over to a friend's house who was very social with random strangers and his home was a talk and laugh fest. Looking back now I realize that I'm not anti-social or naturally an "introvert". It is something I learned to be through a soft oppression in my home.

      Cant say that the things Joe says aren’t problematic because they often are. He’s downplayed covid, and often comes off saying his opinion without doing all the research. With so many people who listen to him and follow him, the misinformation is problematic in my opinion. For example, in this video he says he hates fake car engine noises, but oftentimes cars have fake engine noises to warn pedestrians of incoming cars and it’s been documented that cars that are too quiet pose a risk to pedestrians...he’s still a good talker, i just wish there was some disclaimer on these videos that tell you “Joe Rogan isn’t perfect, but...”

    You make a lot of good points and Joe is excellent at keeping a conversation going. The biggest advantage Joe has is that all of his guests have agreed ahead of time to spend hours of a day and likely travelled to be there just to talk with him. This changes the whole dynamic in that they are already invested heavily prior to the conversation starting.

    I disagree with asking people "why" questions. It's subtly confrontational. People tend to have a visceral reaction to "why" as if they're being accused of something--it's very deep and goes back to childhood when parents would ask things like "why did you do that?!" This is not to say you can't ask that kind of question, just avoid the word "why." So change it up by asking "what made you decide to ..." or "what led you to ..."

    In the beginning of the conversation, 1. Grease the wheels by giving them a compliment of either their Work, Energy, Or Physical Appearance. Do not make it too sexual, and think of a genuine compliment to those who may be complimented a lot.
    2. Use reminds me of thinking. When you are in a conversation think to yourself what does this most remind me of, could be an object, a movie, an actor, or a funny appearance, and use lateral transition to something the both of you could enjoy talking about.
    3. Ping things to other topics of interest, create a web of ideas and thinking that stems from whatever was mentioned. until you find mutual common interests. 4. get people to become excited about the conversation once they are speaking. Peel back the onion and ask deeper why questions. For them to tell you why and what is important to them. 5. Create a connection/ let them make you laugh. Allow yourself to laugh when they talk, don't fake laughter let it be genuine. 6. Mirroring, repeating the last 1 - 3 words to make them feel heard. Do not do it too often stay true to yourself and don't copy every sentence. It is a way to interrupt while allowing them to feel heard and to build rapport.

    1. when you first meet, compliment them.
    examples are thank you so much for being here; I love being around people like you, you are going for sht all the time and it’s amazing because you give out so much energy; nice to meet you; congrats on the engagement.
    Compliments to avoid: sexual, making a compliment we don’t mean, Don't dwell on compliments; it means when conversation focuses more on the compliment than the actual topic. Especially with high-status people who oftem receive compliments, they might not value them much. It's better to swiftly shift from the compliment to the main conversation topic.
    2. Smoothly transition to new topics: employ the "reminds me of" technique. When asked a question, use your answer as a way to steer the conversation to a new topic in relation to the previous topic. This is done by mentally asking yourself, "What does this remind me of?"
    Dont just answer the question, elaborate.
    if you were asked a question about a topic that you’re not interested in, use lateral thinking to transition to something else. an example of this would be:
    Interviewer: “are you a fan of baseball crowd noise?”
    Interviewee: “No I’m not a fan of the noise. I hated when cars do that. They…”
    3. mentioned topics that you think you both have interest: Talk about topics that you like and if the other looks excited, then keep it going. don’t talk about stuff if you don’t think the other is going to like.
    4. getting other people excited about the conversation: don’t ask yes-no questions. instead, ask “why” question to get someone talking about what they value.
    Ex: where do you live? Why do you live there?
    Ex: what do you do for work? Why did you decide to do that?
    This way, you can hear what’s important to them and you can center the topic around that.
    5. Ask questions that are fun to answer like what-ifs, if you, hypothetical, favorite, would you rather, personal stories,
    6. create a connection with people while talking: allow yourself to laugh, but don’t think laugh. Laugh when you find something funny.
    7. make the other feel heard by mirroring. it’s when you repeat the last few words that the other person said. Its a way to interrupt it without ignoring the other person.

    If you understand that you are speaking with another person created in God's image, with infinite value. And realize that their opinion really matters. Going through the entire conversation with love, gratitude and respect.
    Then its always easy.

I have been doing this for about 6 months and I undoubtedly feel more confident (then I already was) talking to new people and being able to communicate in a nice polite way that makes people have an enjoyable energy when I am speaking with them. PARENTS 1000% recommend pushing something in service industry as a first job for kids like me to grow and become independent when communicating with people.

    2. Transition between topics using “reminds me of” thinking. than to give any experience or any reminders to another stuff, than to other reminders in recurring. if you said "no", say why of no and get things to new topics.
    3. Ping for topics of mutual interest. Immediate connections. deeper connections
    4. Make people exited for stuffs ;-
    a. where do live? why ?OR what you work ? why? deeper understandings.
    not any interesting in conversations
    b. Fun to answer questions = you had magic wand? you are king of the world? to the answers that are "no"
    5. a. Laughs easily on other persons stuff... b. mirroring words = make them heard by last 3 words, and for rapport to take control of conversation. BUT dont be a copycat. Be Authentic true to yourself.
