​@@iStorm-my5fp Quite a lot goes into writing a book or a movie or anything with fictional characters. If you have protagonists and antagonists, you want the audience to like the protagonist and dislike the antagonist. Alternatively, they could like both. You never want the audience to dislike the protagonist. You also don't want the audience to feel nothing for the antagonist. This channel and others like it help me to pick out characteristics that connect with an audience in a desirably positive or a desirably negative way. Let me give you an example. I have an antagonist I have been writing that is manipulative and dangerous. I want him to be outwardly charming to other characters, but I want the audience to see his manipulations and be creeped out. What I don't want is for the audience to fall in love with the guy because he is charming. This channel had a video about how to spot a sociopath. I made sure to emphasize to the audience the negative traits while hiding them from the characters. I'm not a sociopath myself, so things like this are really helpful.

1. Vulnerability droping: making fun of someone who just open up and being vulnerable. 2. Conversational narcism: keep making things about yourself. 3. Question cutting: interrupt immediately after asking question. 4. Trampoline boundaries: asking other people when someone else wanted to move on to another topic. 5. Teasing sensitive topic 6. Giving unsolicited advice. 7. Instant aggression: respond with too much hostility too fast too soon.

Your showing your understanding, relating, then bringing it back to them to expand if they feel the need. Letting them know you get it and are willing to listen to them go deeper.

It's important to show that you relate and are actively engaged in the conversation. It takes a bit more work, but I found a great way to do this is to look for the way the topic affects both of you. Like, "Oh, I know right? [Topic situation] is SO annoying. Don't you hate it when [Relatable experience with topic situation]" then I give them the floor again to continue the conversation. Asking questions like "How'd you feel what it happened?" keeps the focus of the conversation on them, but if you only ask questions it can start to feel like you're interrogating them, or that you are only paying minimal attention. You gotta mix it up.

I understand how that joke might appear in your head if you are a quip machine. And a machine would just spit it out. A considerate human being would simply suppress it. I had to learn this as well.

Reacting with humor instead of hostility/aggression/anger has helped me A LOT to deal with even mean remarks or what I percieve that way at least, like if someone points out an insecurity. I just make a joke about it, not confirming nor denying anything, just make a joke somehow of it and make others laugh, then I change the topic gradually after over to something else. I used to react with anger when I felt disrespected whether that was someone’s intention or not, or if they brought out any insecurity, I got quite defensive, which in turn made people react like “ohh..” so this just became an alternative to shift the focus I guess. If someone brings up anything embarrassing, I find a way to own it and make a joke about to too, just take it lightly and make fun of myself, helps a lot.

My go-to response to the Instant Aggression response is "Ok. I'm done with this interaction" and then turn and walk away. Instant aggro means one thing: they assume you have bad intent in what you said. HUGE red flag! If they do that with one thing, they're gonna do it with everything.

The instant aggression section where the narrator says: "You're much better off assuming someone's being positive until they explicitly prove otherwise." is the best LPT. People are not out to get you and at worst they're self involved that's all. Ppl make conversations so complex by doing mental somersaults and it can end up very toxic. I usually don't expect much from videos like this but I think every point was nailed perfectly and very well written. Thanks for the content.

What you can do is try and acknowledge the other person's story first. If it's funny, laugh. If it's a crazy incident, just say something like "Oh dang!" or literally any reaction, maybe one follow up question and then you are more than welcome to go "I actually have a story similar to this" and take focus. It is very rude to completely ignore the other person's story right after they finished saying it and immediately following it up with yours. Some people in my life do this and it irritates the hell out of me. I don't tell them that though because it can be a little passive aggressive to say "you should talk less about yourself". I assume there was no negative intention and forgive them but not everyone would be as nice.

No. 6 applies for so many people especially the guys out there listening to their girls. One of the most valuable lessons I learned was how to listen to my partner with feeling like I have to give my own input. This really goes a far way.

Something I want to add to this list is one-upping. Some people do it maliciously but I think some others don't do it intentionally but maybe from a place of insecurity or trauma. Like if someone is talking about an experience that was hard for them but inherently it's not that hard and the other person has experienced much worse, it puts them off to hear someone "complaining" about something that isn't that bad in comparison so they share what they experienced and will say things like "Oh you thought that was bad? You know what I had to deal with?" and doing this is not okay because all you are really doing is invalidating the other person's experience just to validate your own. Yes sometimes it's hard to hear someone whine about something that shouldn't have been a difficult experience, it can be very annoying honestly. But your strengths and weaknesses are different from someone else's strengths and weaknesses. It may be helpful to show someone a different perspective but you don't need to put them down in order to do so.

Conversational narcissism is a tricky one. It’s not an issue to summarily relate by glossing over a similar experience, but one must quickly turn it back around to the person’s issue in question. It lets them know you can relate without making it about you.

I'm autistic so I'm bad at being a conversational narcissist through my infodumping. However I have learned to tone it down. To not do it all the time. Engage in other topics of conversation, engage the other person on their interests and emotions and experiences. It makes it way less one-sided. I still infodump but in smaller increments. Also having a shared interest helps lessen the annoyance that it is for the other person.

I find a great way to avoid narcissistic tendencies is to ask people questions. Like, if someone is talking about a sad time in their past, ask them how they got through it. Or, try to relate a bit but make sure to tell them you have no idea what it feels to be in their situation. That said, if you truly were in a similar or even worse situation, it's fine to open up about that but I would recommend doing some of the previous advice first.

There’s a great little book on Amazon entitled, “Hoots and Grunts” that addresses common everyday communication flubs that we make that can push others away from us.

The Taylor Swift-John Kleese exchange really got me to thinking about this. Knowing the right response to an inappropriate comment or attack can really be a lot of pressure. Kleese turns that "and cussed, like women" comment right at Taylor. With a live audience and people reacting, obviously it's on tv too. Taylor has a brand and a huge group of fans who want to believe that she will not succumb to male power, but equally just as many industry titans, i.e. men, waiting to slam her if she goes too hard aggressively back or comes across too unlikable in her response. Plus, obviously, she wants to remain authentic and true to herself in her response. Plus, do you want to turn this into an argument with the beloved Kleese. There's so many possible scenarios here. And once the audience laughs and goes ooooohhhh, the clock is ticking. One second, two seconds. Come on Taylor, say something, what is your response? "Oooooohh we don't wanna do that" John Kleese laughs and takes a hint, everything stays the course. Taylor's fans are satisfied. So are Kleese's. The audience laughs. Hurdle cleared. But man, that's gotta be tough. There's probably a lot of those decisions. And tbh while I know she's been bashed for a few well-meaning-but-tone-deaf social media posts, I can't really think of an infamous Taylor Swift gaffe on live tv so seems like she handles herself pretty well for the most part. Good on her.

One small note on the topic of conversational narcissism: Not all people who do it are trying to put focus on themselves. For most people dealing with ADHD, what can seem like narcissism is actually us trying to engage with what you're saying and empathise. So "work sucked" "oh my gosh yeah, X,Y,Z happened at my work" isn't inherently bad, it's trying to communicate; I hear you, I'm listening, I understand you, and I can relate to what you're saying.. But we also tend to leave it open just enough for others to then start sharing their stories

Very guilty of this AND have ADHD! But regardless, I can understand why it puts people off. It takes a lot of restraint for me to not overshare.

I find this information to be very useful, instructing me in techniques to employ, to enable me to offend others, a practice I greatly enjoy!

One thing that a therapist has once told me is: when people are unaware of their strengths, others sense it and may want to elevate themselves at the expense of the unaware person. For instance, someone's smart but feels he/she isn't smart enough because of the way their confidence has been undermined; and there will be people who will, for whatever reason, teach this person how to live, advise them, and talk down to him/her. This will obviously cause this person to feel uncomfortable, like, what right does this person have to patronise me? In such cases, I think it is important to set boundaries but not be aggressive about it, just saying "I don't like what you've just said" very calmly, like that dude who said "Next question".

Damn the shift response is tricky. I often do it because I want the other person to feel like they aren't alone in their world, but then doing that can also come across as minimalizing their experience. Alternatively, sometimes I use it to continue a convo that feels like it's lulling.

Assuming positive intent will help avoid those inevitable situations where you assumed the worse, over-reacted, and ruined a situation or even relationship. If the perceived slight is actually an insult, you can still make positive progress by setting the boundaries and (trying to) redirect the conversation/topic. Holding others accountable for their statements without being triggered back can increase their respect for you, improve their future behavior, and might even result in an apology. All wins.

Again, an example of a narcissistic personality. Common among celebrities.

Honestly, one thing I have learned about talking about topics is: asking permission to speak on something ahead of time. This gives you the ability to not cross a boundary without even having to hurt the person. You simply say: “Is the topic of your mothers death something we can discuss?” “No I would really like to not get into it.” “Okay perfectly fine. So… (topic change here.)” This is so helpful to preemptively stop yourself from crossing a boundary. You don’t have to do it with every topic, but certain heavy topics, it can really help you to respect the person you are speaking with.

One of the best pieces of life advice in the whole video is at 8:26.

Great video. I think many if these responses are used by people with just plain poor social skills. They feel socially awkward. But some are narcissistic habits that definitely need to be called out. For example- a woman from the place I took my cats to get their shots called to remind me that it was time to get their shots again. She referred to one of my cats, and I told her he was deceased. She said, and I quote, " Yes, R was getting a little long in the tooth." Not, oh I'm sorry to hear that. She didn't know how to cover her social gaff of trying to make light of my cat's death. So I politely but firmly took a moment to explain that he didn't die of old age, he had several health issues. And furthermore, it was extremely rude and insensitive for her to reply in the way she did. She was very surprised at my forthrightness. All she could say was "okay." I'm tired of people thinking they can say anything and try to play it off. I'm going to make that correction every time. I'm also going to be sure not to do any of these things myself.

Been watching you guys for almost two years now. I've always had a pretty hard time introducing myself to people and putting myself out there. But your tips have slowly made me comfortable with talking to people. I'm actually going on my first date in about 5.5 years. Just wanted to say thank you. This channel has helped me and I hope it has helped others :)

@@magnumopiss244 Says the person who butted into an exchange they weren't involved in. The irony!

02:20 - this happened to me last week and I'm still angry/irritated when I think about that moment. An a$$hole colleague of mine asked me a question over a call. When I started answering that, she interrupted me. You wouldn't believe: this happened to me twice on that same call. I wanted to yell "hey a$$hole, you asked me a question", but I just kept quiet. This is extremely irritating behaviour, that too in a professional environment. Thankfully, I seldom interact with that a$$hole.

Lol sorry mate Just tell what you need to say to get that frustration off, otherwise it will hurt you. Sometimes i think when ppl ask, they sometimes get the answer and eant to blurt it out, and they could have not been able to come to that conclusion themselves without interacting with others for feedback. That is at least my take on it. It could also be an ego thing, that they themselves want to quickly show that they cane to that answer, solution or conclusion themselves. Just don't let it ruin your mood....it's on them. And if one actually wants to help oneself and othets too, it's better to bring these things up in a graceful good manner, to avoid conflicts. Communication is EVERYTHING!!

One of my managers had that habit. He's not a mean guy, but the 1:1 were pretty much pointless, as it quickly turned into basically his own presentation.

I used to be friends with someone who would always interrupt me mid-sentence whenever we had a conversation and I would lose my train of thought, forcing me to start over, and she would always tell me to “get to the point.” I’d find myself getting aggressive every time and telling her “well if you’d learn to stfu and listen, I’d get there faster!” Sure glad she’s not in my life anymore.

Keep talking and don't stop. They will eventually stop talking and interrupting you. I promise this works.

I hate it and refuse to put up with it. I have turned and walked away from bosses that interrupt me when I am answering a question.

Some suggested not to click on Videos with lists like this. I did, but this time i didn't regret it. Really 7 important mistakes not to be made, thanks.

Fascinating presentation 👏 👍 thoroughly enjoyed all the breakdowns and queues
