Great another person telling you what to talk about but never how to get to those topics. I'm not shy, I don't get nervous or awkward I just literally don't know how to bring up different topics or guide a conversation at all. I can do my part with somebody who is engaged and trying too but I can never get past small talk
What a coincidence Yesterday I asked this question in Men’s Image Lab that how should I improve my communication skills and Alex today you posted a whole video about it..Great Job 💪🏻
I completely agree. Noticed this at college, i would be very social but then when i went home to the countryside where there were barely any people around. I would always start a new semester a bit out of rhythm and then i would slip back into it after a week or so.
Leaving a conversation with a hot topic is a lot like a writing technique for writing novels. I forgot which author said it. But basically, to never have writers block stop right before you feel you're reaching the end of something. Leave room for wonder. Also, don't think about writing when you're not writing. Which i think can also apply to conversations. I often find myself being overly critical when analyzing past conversations.
I FORM new people I meet. Family, Organization, Recreation, Motivations. People like talking about themselves. Let them. Where are you from? What do you do for work? What do you do for fun? What motivated you to start that? I can talk to anyone and form a genuine connection. Works every time.
There's no genuine connection these days anymore. All you have is disagreement and disappointment amongst people these days, and judgement. It simply doesn't work out like that for everyone, to have genuine connections or else I would had friends, and or a family in this world that would've accepted me. Theres no genuine love exists today either, except for the self love I have for myself.
I am from nepal and right now i am here in romania I have been watching your videos since 2019 and you helped me lot to learn english and better more style❤
Need more videos like these bro, You're my life time role model, I have watched every single video of yours including your past gaming videos to till today's video. I've learnt many things from you and still happy to learn. Thank you so much and huge love bro. ❤
Hi alex a long time subscriber here , just wanted to let u know u stop coming in my recommendations these few years and i stop watching you a long time ago mainly after covid 19 pandemic, i search for ur channel and it feels go to see you after a long time , ur advices and tricks work well mainly not touching ur face with ur hands to reduce pimples , and style tips for all body sizes , i hope u have a great day and hope u r healthy both mentally and physically, love from INDIA
Above all it is always good to depreciate yourself a little bit, but not much. They let their natural guard down, and makes them feel more comfortable with you. Like, "wow, you play guitar? as hard as I tried to at least learn a little, I was a huge failure.". Never try to diminish whatever their accomplishments, even if you doubt it. Everybody likes to talk about themselves the most, so let them. Be humble and honest always.
Lets dissect some of the things he says in this video. He gave some helpful tips but some ridiculous ones also. 1. 0:00 - What's up with him? Why would we have a conversation with everyone we meet in the next 24 hours? Who is he to dictate who we must talk to? Anyone would naturally and should feel nervous speaking to people they have no business speaking to. 2. 0:30 - He keeps acting like talking to strangers is the best thing in the world. He says we may be missing out on creating new friendships, business partners etc. Why hasn't he considered that we may have saved us tons of agony by not connecting with a potential sociopath or narcissist? 3. 0:40 - He is providing us a "framework" just to talk to people. As if this is coding. He also has the audacity to say he's keeping it simple. 4. 1:58 - He tells us to not pretend like we know everything about them. But later at 3:53 he gives an alternative for asking "What type of music donyiu listen to". He wants us to say "You seem like you'll be into Morgan Wallen". That's just lame. Be consistent dude. There are more things I can point out but it's getting boring typing so much
Conversations are so hard! I spend alot of time away from people. Ive gone months without speaking outloud, then when i do try to talk its like i forget how and i stutter and mumble lol
I am following you from last 2-3 yeare now on Tuesday I am will go and talk to the girl whom I like. Let's see is this trick are worth it. Thanks Alex🧬🧬❤❤❤.
To be honest, I think frameworks like these make conversations more complicated bc. you’re trying to stick to some conceptual system, making it harder to be in the moment and follow the natural flow of the conversation. Just be ACTUALLY interested in what someone has to say and what you can learn from them, you’ll be fine :)
really good video. getting back into dating & watching a lot of these types of videos. most videos give either unactionable advice or are based in anecdotal pseudo-psychology garbage. this is none of that. really helpful. def gonna rewatch before my date tomorrow lol
I know many have said this already. But i literally have been trying to figure out the last like week how to approach people (mainly girls i find attractive) and talk to them. There's this girl in my film class that is shy who i really want to get to know more. And i just want to be able to not be awkward. Anyways i saw this video and i was like, "No way" so thanks!!!
I dont struggle with convos, i just struggle with making convos with women. There are no similarities or commonalities that can help me make conversations easily.
I don't like the fifth rule bcs imo its just artificial. Just be urself. If u enjoy the talk just stick to it and talk. If ppl leave bcs converstation didn't end well just go find better ppl. Let's be honest u prob can't have all the time good conversation so if that is the criteria for someone to make friends then he/she is not worth ur time. I think that's it. Just DO what YOU want.
What about those who think no one is like you and no one for you here Who think that he is in wrong place or society. Who bored after some time by pretending that hi like her
I think to some extent a boring opening can work but you wanna smile and have good energy (and maybe poke fun at how boring the said opening you just made is😂)
I dont blame social media of this one since I had anxiety in this well before social mdeia exists, and I bet many others did too. These days I go usually, since as he said, to talk about something we have in commond:"Im wearing red underpants today, what color thong you got today if any?".
Seriously Alex🤨, how could you take Better help as a sponsor for this video. They've been found notorious for selling their customer data to Drugs & Pharmaceutical companies. So, that these medical companies can show anti-depressants products ads to make these people buy their products.

so real
Being calm and confident is everything tbh u dont need the "rules" coz they are there just to make u confident in these conversations
What a coincidence Yesterday I asked this question in Men’s Image Lab that how should I improve my communication skills and Alex today you posted a whole video about it..Great Job 💪🏻

Its been 7 years alex i am loving ur videos always ❤

This is a really good example of how powerful perspective is.

bro is turning every video into a business/advertisement
Who doesn't do that? At least he is giving valuable advice for free that our parents couldn't have, unless they went to a specialist

You should recommend a book about this topic on how to speak to people.

I leave in India....quite tough

It was impressive
This video is great, more please Alex. :) Jon
wheres ur polo shirt from? looks amazing
Polo shirts went out of style about 10 years ago just FYI
@@neo7759no they didn’t they’re classic. Especially if you know how to style it. Trends are so short lived. Classic is best.
@@anandabliss9997 Not even close , they are about as classic as cargo shorts. I don't do trends
Hi
Where did you get that polo shirt?
Genuine
