@ketongu start with something stupidly small and simple. Once you have the hang of it, slowly build up and out bit by bit. I'm still a beginner at coding and this is what I always do when learning a new concept.
Loved these > allow yourself to be yourself > no man is an island > be yourself and people will come along for the ride > even a low IQ person is intelligent in other forms; emotional intelligence, statistical intelligence etc
@@rovertyenrab My theory is that people with a high level of emotional intelligence will have an acceptable IQ, but most folks with a high IQ don't have the same balance in emotional intelligence.
One thing I learned far too recently: All of the negative things that people have said to me in my life ALL PUT TOGETHER doesn't compare with the negativity I can give myself from five minutes with my own thoughts. Nobody is actually thinking all those things I am thinking! Or if they are they don't tell me, which is nearly the same thing from my perspective, right. Anyway, you're a real star. I wish there were voices out there when I was like 20, and I'm glad to listen to it today too; I hope someone that needs to hear this hears it rather than listens to the various bad opinions out there about how to present yourself to others. Cheers!
I read "how to talk to anyone" before I went to uni, one of the tips was to just ask questions, people love talking about themselves! And the person will come away with the impression that you were a really interesting person.
I agree to being yourself, I've always told people that "cool" to me isn't necessarily what I'm interested in, I find people "cool" when they are truly themselves and have their own deep interests. I think the biggest problem for most people is other peoples acceptance to other peoples interests. Some people will shut off as soon as you start to talk about something they arent interested in which can lead to alot of awkward situations. That being said, you're completely right with the listening aspect. If more people just decided to listen instead of waiting for their turn to talk, I'm sure everyone would find alot more interesting things in one an other
I love how this guy just popped up in my feed on day, the "no one knows you/advertising" video, and I just saw someone with such a unique perspective, insight, and presentation on things. He just talked into the camera about ragebait marketing, I immediately subscribed and this is another great video. A rare YT algorithm W.
I thing that you should mention, is balance is important in everything. Some people have no confidence, some people are overly confident. Some people believe they have no personality, some people believe that their personality is all that they are, and it takes over their lives.
You're doing gods work. Nobody ever gives the little details to how conversations work, like, asking questions back, its such a simple thing that makes converations flow yet nobody brings it up, its part of the active listening part. Something that can seriously help is making a lil basic script for yourself with "goal posts", once a conversation starts (maybe through observation), and the person you've asked about something is finished talking, think of a relating question to the topic, even if its vaguely related (the video talks about this). People LOVE talking about themselves and their interests so it works great just to be that listener, and then you can make your exit if you dont want to talk/dont know what to say, it can be as simple as "well it was interesting and fun talking but I gotta go im on a schedule" with a polite smile and the other person will usually let you get off and do your own thing etc etc. You can customize your intros and outros to your pleasing. All it takes is making one small conversation with somebody to open up the flood gates to your own confidence, you'll actually feel pretty damn normal and relaxed after. Its really hard to get a basic structure when you're in the dark, these videos help alot
Totally Agree! What I would add to that is that if you are passionate about something very niche it is good to give a bit of context about the topic and express why it is important to you. If others can understand why you want to talk about a given topic they generally feel interested and at ease. Also just a reminder to not forget that when people are telling awesome stories it is but a highlight and their lives will undoubtedly be made up for the majority out of mundane situations too.
I'm actually pretty good at holding a conversation now, only problem is that my social anxiety still wins out in a lot of situations. I had what seems in retrospect to have been an obvious missed connection with a very cute girl waiting for the bus last week and it's been killing me. Even in the worst case, having endured an awkward situation would've been so much better than how never knowing feels. It feels really stupid, and is the #1 thing I'd like to change about myself
I really enjoy the style of your recordings. I also really enjoy your message. It has been very grounding and im glad to have stumbled upon it. This is the third video of yours ive had served at the top of my feed. Thank you for what you've done here.
I think social media has made us self conscious, like we're posting to the world even if its just you speaking to one person in a room alone. Nothings written in stone, be free!
Great message. Owning your fails with humour is great because you get to feel good about yourself for a: not doing an impression of a coatstand, b: breaking through the awkwardness and taking the social initiative for once c: being funny, which inspires a lot more confidence than just feeling bad about your own awkwardness d: entertaining others and e: not dealing with a memory of embarrassment but a reminiscing of merriment of which you were the center. The challenging bit is to let go of being too serious about how you appear to others. I tel myself: I wasn't being smart in that actual moment anyway, doubling down on the hilarity won't make it worse. And hey, they may be laughing at me, instead of with me, whichever way, "this person made me laugh" is not the worst reputation to have.
@ZEK.0 That's crazyyyy. I got into carravagio and art generally for 3 reasons. The first was the limited netflix series ripley , the second I cant fully remember but the third was when a friend showed me versace off that westside record
Hey I just wanted to say I really like your videos it really feels like I’m talking with a friend in a park late at night and I also use your videos to practice my English so, being you benefits people in more than ways you could imagine! Which is inline with what your saying in this video, just you talking by itself is useful to a person like me that is trying to sound more native in English! Keep doing you man 🫵
Thank you, I really needed to hear this. I've a friend that used to talk in great detail about games she'd been playing and I honestly had no interest in, and I'd basically just switch off when she started going on about them, and now she doesn't talk about them anymore. But the bad thing is I only switched off because I felt like she wasn't interested in hearing about anything I'm interested in either, when actually that's all in my head coming from projection and/or self-consciousness. Our conversations could be much more interesting if I encourage her to speak freely again and also wax lyrical about my own interests sometimes.
I've been "In the little box" before, and it was the most miserable I've ever been. At the same time, it felt impossible to break out of that. People say baby steps, it'll get better, and that sounds super corny, but each step of confidence I got with a good interaction from someone because I was generally interested in what they were saying broke me "outta da box".
I isolate a lot because of low self confidence. I never feel like I’m enough for people.. not interesting enough, or fun enough, it’s exhausting. So I isolate. I don’t even respond to texts anymore, and it eats away at me. It’s very lonely, yet I don’t want to talk to people, because it’s not fun. I numb by myself with scrolling, alcohol, binge eating, smoking weed. And In return, that’s all made me even more boring. I feel my personality getting more dull with the addictions and lack of social interactions. Idk how to pull myself out of this vicious cycle
drop the alcohol first. exercise; starting with walks etc. progressing to workouts delete the stupid apps, keep the good ones once you start to exercise you will feel inclined to eat more nutrition in time your mental capacity will open up to allow you to retain more knowledge good luck
keeping yourself clean, wearing clean and stylish clothes, sleeping an appriopriate amount of time, eating until you're not the hungry, drinking water, all of this goes a long way into making room for confidence to come in. It seems basic but it works. I'm not telling as soon as you do it you'll be super confident, but I have observed from personal experience that I also tend to isolate myself, and self loathe when I neglect eating, showering or sleeping. Next up, you could try doing/joining up classes for whatever activity you might find interesting, like drawing, pottery, music lessons, archery, whatever you find cool. Focus on the activity, but at the same time, try striking up a conversation or two to people there, maybe even ask them to go for a meal or a coffee. After all you have something in common (the class/activity you both do), so that's something you can talk about with your new friend. A great activity is exercise, stuff like running, the gym (and even walks) are great. The gym is really good cause as you keep showing up, you'll become more and more fit, and that might improve your self perception, in turn increasing your confidence. It might be hard at the beginning, but keep showing up, even when you dont feel like it, cause it'll pay off. Tackling addictions like alcohol, weed, and similar is very hard if you dont have a proper social group. Stuff like this is a problem, but they're also the first things you might do when you're stressed, depressed or lonely, acting as fast-acting "solutions" to your bad feels. In turn, their effects make cause more problems, so it's a really bad feedback loop, hence why you gotta have friends to support you, so that when you feel bad, you can contact them instead. It's sadly not as easy as just cutting drinking (tho you might try that, it never hurts) Making art, and (intentionally) consuming it might help with the personality bit, as you'll know what you like, and can talk about stuff you've seen or made. Stuff like music, games (look out for indie games, cause AAA games rarely inspire me as art), paintings, or just doodles. Lastly, just keep showing up, doing it, even if you suck at the beginning, even if you have bad days, if you keep going through, you'll eventually make it out of the tunnel, Good luck bro.
As someone with social anxiety, the 1# thing you need to remember is that your imagination will always be worse than reality. Take it step by step, focus on one thing. Stop drinking, then try going outside more, at least go see the light of day in your yard. Talk to yourself like you're talking to a good friend, especially in hard moments. Whatever you do, don't self deprecate because the more you tell yourself something, the more you'll believe it, so tell yourself nicer things from now on (they don't have to be cheesy, just fair). I know it's easier said than done, that's why you gotta take it little by little to build up the momentum. It is absolutely doable and i believe in you man
Great approach to life in general. Being your authentic self and steadfastly sticking to your principles gets tons more respect than the db poser crying out for attention. Plus it just feels good!
Thank you for the motivation - we just started posting this year, and although it's difficult to watch our own videos, the positive feedback we've received has been very encouraging.
I don't see myself as a very confident person (I'm slowly managing to overcome that) and because of that I don't think I come off as particularly confident either, but I met a new person through an event where I was speaking and afterwards we went out. We were talking about confidence and one of the first things that person said to me was that they were surprised I didn't feel confident because I absolutely came off like I was when I spoke. They said it with such earnest and so casually that it kind of shocked me into realising, 'oh wow I really perceive myself in such a distorted way'. Idk guess I'm just trying to say I'd do absolute numbers if I just had confidence in myself and it's a little bit silly, but also really interesting, that such a trivial thing like our self perception stops us from being the best versions of ourselves.
I’ve been experimenting with yt. I used to teach stuff and hated myself on camera, felt way too preachy. This year I’m experimenting with talking about myself, even though the voice in my head said don’t do that others won’t like you. The dif is, I’m ok on camera, people who interact are really great and the whole thing is more fun and rewarding …. Even though subs are low I’m thrilled that they are my kind of people.
sometimes im a little too interesting for my own good. it got me in trouble constantly as a child and even into my adulthood. if i had a dollar for every time ive been told i should write a book id have a good chunk of change, and though i have tried to write books about my wild life experiences, when i put the stories onto paper, all of a sudden those stories lack the character and charm they had the many times i had told them in person. thats when it dawned on me that what made those stories special werent the stories themselves, it was the person telling them, it was the human element, it was me and the way i would tell them. and for me its a blessing and a curse. sometimes i wish i was normal and wasnt constantly fighting my demons, i have so much to say and stories gallore but havent figured out a way to reach more than a few people at a time.
I have always felt that diversity encourages unity. If you are only worried about how you are similar to others, you will never sit comfortable with the reality of nuance. You will try and snip and weed out any imagined fault. You aren't everyone's cup of tea, but who the fuck cares, they aren't drinking it.
I found your channel a few months ago, and I have to say, it's one of the greatest channels I've discovered recently. I've been going through a lot lately, and it's been really hard, but these videos have been helping me a lot. This is the side of TH-cam I miss the most. I wish you nothing but success. Keep being the amazing person you are.
There's an episode of The Simpsons where Frank Grimes works with Homer. Grimes hates Homer; thinks he's dumb. But Homer finds Grimes interesting; even thinking that him living in between two bowling alleys is cool. To Grimes, it was a nightmare. To Homer, it was a dream. In short: we're all interesting people.
You know when you meet new ppl with your friends and you start sharing epic stories of some wild moments you had together. Well I'm the guy ppl would always forget was also there with them. It would be like "So Dave, Steve, Bill, and... someone else was there.. Jakeee? idk lol anyways...". Cant be the interesting guy for shit, but I like to hear other ppls stories more anyways. Gives you perspective on things, new info you never heard, good laughs... more often than not I learned about something that helped me in some areas of my life through a random conversation with someone id never see again.
Oh I have many epic stories and adventures to tell from my younger wilder years, but alas I cannot tell them here without getting immediately banned. So I am delegated to tell the tame happenings from the past decade, which are very mild by comparison. There is a very big difference between a young musicians adventures, and a old musicians adventures. 🤘🧙🏻♂🤘
cool video. have only watched 3 of your videos so far, so i dont know if you've donet something like this, but I'd love to see you talk about RUDEness in general. you have a nice energy, and I try to have the same kind of energy throughout my day/life, but the moments it falls apart is when I encounter rude people. With people being nice already, it's kind of easy to recreate that energy because it's already there and you just gotta bump it up higher, but when someone (let's say you have to be in the same place with them for at least 1 hour) is rude or dismissive or arrogant, YOU have to be the one to create that energy AND transfer it to the person if you want it to be a nice encounter. I'd like to see you talk about this in general. Obviously, rudeness mostly isn't deliberate, it might be that they're having a bad day, or maybe you have such different cultures that their normal is 'rude' to you, etc. Just a suggestion, peace
But how do u know who u are? What if it’s not that u think you’re not interesting but that you don’t know who you are, and how to talk about it. I kinda struggle from self confidence and self image so even if i think i have interesting things to say i don’t share them because i don’t want to be seen. Idk why 🏃🏽♂️💀

Thank you for the motivation - we just started posting this year, and although it's difficult to watch our own videos, the positive feedback we've received has been very encouraging.
Well said 👍
u r so cool brother
thank u for talking bout this
Wow what a wholesome video
Thank you Jonny
This guys mind has gotta be racing with youtube rant ideas
The "real light" creates what its dim counterpart/ conterfeit can only mimick in some sort of way.
Thank you
Spot on
Thank you for being yourself among a sea of fake characters.
Thank you 🙏
I really wish I could signal boost videos like this without them showing up in my own feed 😭
I don't see myself as a very confident person (I'm slowly managing to overcome that) and because of that I don't think I come off as particularly confident either, but I met a new person through an event where I was speaking and afterwards we went out. We were talking about confidence and one of the first things that person said to me was that they were surprised I didn't feel confident because I absolutely came off like I was when I spoke. They said it with such earnest and so casually that it kind of shocked me into realising, 'oh wow I really perceive myself in such a distorted way'.
Idk guess I'm just trying to say I'd do absolute numbers if I just had confidence in myself and it's a little bit silly, but also really interesting, that such a trivial thing like our self perception stops us from being the best versions of ourselves.
are ya still confident
Thank you. You have helped me a lot
I’ve been experimenting with yt. I used to teach stuff and hated myself on camera, felt way too preachy. This year I’m experimenting with talking about myself, even though the voice in my head said don’t do that others won’t like you. The dif is, I’m ok on camera, people who interact are really great and the whole thing is more fun and rewarding …. Even though subs are low I’m thrilled that they are my kind of people.
lol love the warhammer mention
sometimes im a little too interesting for my own good. it got me in trouble constantly as a child and even into my adulthood. if i had a dollar for every time ive been told i should write a book id have a good chunk of change, and though i have tried to write books about my wild life experiences, when i put the stories onto paper, all of a sudden those stories lack the character and charm they had the many times i had told them in person. thats when it dawned on me that what made those stories special werent the stories themselves, it was the person telling them, it was the human element, it was me and the way i would tell them. and for me its a blessing and a curse. sometimes i wish i was normal and wasnt constantly fighting my demons, i have so much to say and stories gallore but havent figured out a way to reach more than a few people at a time.
i’m watching young harry from disco elysium give me new life perspectives
perfect topic/title combo.... damn I'm doing everything wrong
I have always felt that diversity encourages unity. If you are only worried about how you are similar to others, you will never sit comfortable with the reality of nuance. You will try and snip and weed out any imagined fault.
You aren't everyone's cup of tea, but who the fuck cares, they aren't drinking it.
believe in yourself ❤
I found your channel a few months ago, and I have to say, it's one of the greatest channels I've discovered recently. I've been going through a lot lately, and it's been really hard, but these videos have been helping me a lot. This is the side of TH-cam I miss the most. I wish you nothing but success. Keep being the amazing person you are.
Tbh in a video you said you were 25, but I'm like how is that true because you are certainly 85 😂 will all respect, you are wise
There's an episode of The Simpsons where Frank Grimes works with Homer. Grimes hates Homer; thinks he's dumb. But Homer finds Grimes interesting; even thinking that him living in between two bowling alleys is cool. To Grimes, it was a nightmare. To Homer, it was a dream.
In short: we're all interesting people.
At first i thought you were wearing an ushanka, but then I saw it was hair=)
lol same
thank you sire
You know when you meet new ppl with your friends and you start sharing epic stories of some wild moments you had together. Well I'm the guy ppl would always forget was also there with them. It would be like "So Dave, Steve, Bill, and... someone else was there.. Jakeee? idk lol anyways...". Cant be the interesting guy for shit, but I like to hear other ppls stories more anyways. Gives you perspective on things, new info you never heard, good laughs... more often than not I learned about something that helped me in some areas of my life through a random conversation with someone id never see again.
i love your videos so much.
You full of lies, but we love you bro
@@DandyHippo hahaha facts
😂
He's not wrong, you are cool @DandyHippo
The name DandyHippo is already interesting
Haha thanks man good vid, I got my first subscriber last night after 1 week! I’ll keep it up peace
Its tough when you have autism and get hyper-focused on stuff. I just get interested in only one thing for months
I do that, I dont know shit about things I just repeat what other people have told me lol
Oh I have many epic stories and adventures to tell from my younger wilder years, but alas I cannot tell them here without getting immediately banned. So I am delegated to tell the tame happenings from the past decade, which are very mild by comparison.
There is a very big difference between a young musicians adventures, and a old musicians adventures. 🤘🧙🏻♂🤘
I've opened the box and I've never closed it since.
This is my safe space
cool video. have only watched 3 of your videos so far, so i dont know if you've donet something like this, but I'd love to see you talk about RUDEness in general. you have a nice energy, and I try to have the same kind of energy throughout my day/life, but the moments it falls apart is when I encounter rude people. With people being nice already, it's kind of easy to recreate that energy because it's already there and you just gotta bump it up higher, but when someone (let's say you have to be in the same place with them for at least 1 hour) is rude or dismissive or arrogant, YOU have to be the one to create that energy AND transfer it to the person if you want it to be a nice encounter. I'd like to see you talk about this in general. Obviously, rudeness mostly isn't deliberate, it might be that they're having a bad day, or maybe you have such different cultures that their normal is 'rude' to you, etc. Just a suggestion, peace
But how do u know who u are? What if it’s not that u think you’re not interesting but that you don’t know who you are, and how to talk about it.
I kinda struggle from self confidence and self image so even if i think i have interesting things to say i don’t share them because i don’t want to be seen. Idk why 🏃🏽♂️💀
Hi Bob Ross here to talk with you today about the universe.
fuck yeah, thank you!
I think I dunno how to open the box.
It's joever.
Weird how this channel makes you feel like you made a new friend.
Thanks for sharing
