The funny part about me is that I crush interviews and get the job or whatever else I'm applying for, that's easy but small talk is not my strong suit. I get a little nervous and I'm a naturally quiet person so I really need to work on this because I think it's important. I also don't like when ppl try to ask nosey questions and I don't like oversharing, so it's a delicate balance that I know needs to be achieved.

I missed out a lot being an introvert. I started making videos of myself talking to me. I practiced how to appreciate people and i began being inquisitive. Now my colleagues ask me if i get angry at all. Learn pronunciations so that when you soeak somewhere everyone will want to know who is talking. But also learn to keep your boundaries. And if you're a slow talker, know that you are blessed.

I have a really hard time going into a large group setting especially where most people already know each other and I don't know anyone.

I would appreciate some "exit responses" to people who are being inappropriate with their questions. Once I said to an interrogator type: "Oh! Should I have brought my attorney?!" and then to the too personal person I usually say: "That's rather personal" and if they keep going (which they usually do) I will say: "Why is this so important to you?" These work really well, but I could use some fresh ideas!! And a hard YES to a video about flirting small talk!

@@HarrisPilton789 The other commentor can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they want to not use any negative verbiage. Saying you don't wanna answer a question can come across as negative. I understand the point, but there are positive ways of not answering a question than putting it as you did. Maybe a better phrase could be "how about we talk about something more light hearted?" or "why so serious? let's talk about something more casual" if you know the person, ask them a question about their life that isn't too personal.

If you live in a new city and mingle with a coworker/classmate, hearing that this person is from your hometown's "rival town" can be a quick icebreaker and quickly turn into an inside joke. If neither takes the rivalry too seriously, understands sarcasm and understands it is just all good fun - hilarious. Had this with a fellow university student a few years back and it all started with a playful and theatrical "Oh no, you are from XX? Since I am from YY, I could never be friends with you!" said with a smile and a handshake. A friendship started then and there.

One on one conversation is so hard for me 🤦🏾‍♀️ I’m better with groups of people because I don’t have to talk as much and feed off the energy of others in the group! One on one feels so vulnerable and I dislike that a lot, but I am here to group in this area so I can thrive in life .!!

And I went to school for COMMUNICATION....but this was this far supersedes the textbook version. This i PHD Level GREAT information & tips in everyday practical communication. Thank you for sharing!

I’m so closed off and shy that the lady at my school thought i was in a class with the mentally challenged kids 😩. It made me feel so low about myself like wow is that how i come off because i get fidgety and can’t look ppl in the face for the life of me when I’m talking to them, I’ve always been pretty shy but I’m getting older and it’s getting old and annoying at this point

It is so important to notice how the people you are talking to are reacting to your comments and questions. There‘s a man at work and he always comes to me and he just asks way too personal questions like where exactly I live. It makes me feel very uncomfortable and I try to keep away from him. It‘s so annoying. Don‘t be ignorant to others‘ reactions to you! I don‘t even feel bad to ignore such people and letting them know trough a more aggression based comment that I am not interested. Otherwise they keep annoying you.

I agree , however sometimes I’ve noticed that some people don’t know how to read social cues or other peoples reactions. So I literally have to say “hey, these questions are making me uncomfortable, please stop asking them” . Also if you don’t know the person well, it’s hard to gauge their reactions . So it’s something to keep in mind.

Lol funny how this video showed up on my timeline. I hate small talk. It feels like a waste of time to me. It also feels fake. I do a lot of this "how is the weather" nonsense at my corporate job. Lol I was raised to get straight to the point. If you want something from me, ask directly. Asking me how my day is going is fake because the moment I start actually mentioning what is going on, they cut me off and go blank. Things become awkward.

As an introvert I find it hard to start small talk so this has really put things into perspective on how to break the ice and have a good conversation thank you😊

My biggest hiccup with conversations is telling myself that I don’t care about what these ppl have going on. 🤦🏾‍♀️ I love talking with ppl, but lately, I’ve had this attitude of “If it’s not about so & so, then I just don’t care to engage.” But I’m shifting to another phase in my life, so these tips are great reminders. Thanks

Some of these tips are quite helpful for people who speak more than one language. One of my close friends speaks French natively and speaks English as well. Initially, I really didn't enjoy conversing with her because her words would trail off into other words and run into each other. I realize now though that part of that has to do with the way French is spoken. It's definitely something to improve on but it's interesting how speech styles shift across languages.

What do you do when you genuinely can't think of what to say in a conversation? Like in theory I know roughly how you're supposed to respond, but in actual practice my mind always goes blank. It's like when you're in school with exam anxiety so your brain goes blank and you can't come up with the answers. I also have a really hard time actually speaking even when I know what I want to say, it always comes out like a jumbled mess like my brain and my mouth aren't properly connected. I've been practicing since I was a kid and I've never gotten better. I'm a really good listener but I can't speak 😭

I'm an introvert according to me but a loner and anti-social according to people. I've never had a problem making friends or small talk because once I'm comfortable I might overshare because talking in public is usual for me and talking or writing puts me in my element. My mother hates crowds and the stage but my grandmothers and father loved them. I might be too loud and talk too quickly for others to keep up so I have to remind myself to go at a moderate pace and keep checking my volume and content as I talk. Sometimes even think before I talk is a problem but sometimes it's a blessing. I seem to make people especially men feel comfortable to talk about their issues and get vulnerable with me.

In my childhood, I was never allowed to express myself, so I spoke very little. Moreover I am introverted, my problem is that as soon as I am with people I like, I talk a lot. And often my boyfriend listens to me more than I listen to him.

I commented on another of your videos yesterday about the quality being very good. This one hasn’t disappointed! I feel a Sunday slow Winter’s day, with a binge of this channel coming on 😁 and my favourite part is always “Hiiiii Ladieeess” this alone makes me feel feminine ❤ Enjoy your day 😘
