once in school a senior asked me "whats good man?" and i responded with "nothing". i still remember it every day

[vinzente.]

the chemistry this guy has with himself is insane

The most imortant rule:
You can't calculate what you're about to say, if you think for a second "maybe tha pigeon over there is not worth talking about", you automatically lose.
Just talk about whatever, if you say something stupid chances are you will make someone laugh and root for you, and over time you will get intuitively better at finding interesting topics

I went to high school with this dude named Doug, and Doug was the easiest guy to get along with. No matter what you talked to him about, he always seemed genuinely interested, and would ask a ton of questions. I kinda picked that up from him, and it makes talking to people so much easier. Just…ask questions. People love a good listener.

Saying “Gatorade” instead of “retrograde” is 100% fair game

I was dropping off an Uber order the other day and said “enjoy your meal” to which the guy responded “thanks, you too.” I could feel his pain without even looking back at him as I walked back to my car.

“Small talk is like a social lubricant.” Is got to be one of the funniest and accurate metaphors I’ve ever heard 😂😂😂

I had the thought about “I hate small talk, it’s so boring and goes no where”. But this video changed my whole perspective.

i love how organic the conversations on this channel feel, makes it very easy to listen to without getting lost or disengaged

[massimo]

absolutely loved the “planting seeds” part, simply poetic.

Small talk is the conversational equivalent of smiling and making eye contact. It's not deep or anything, but it lets the other person know you're friendly and interested in their general state of being. Trying to skip that would be like making someone take out their earbuds to talk to you, but then just rambling at them without ever looking up at their face.

This guy just changed the way I think about establishing relationships and I was lucky enough to find his channel before it inevitably explodes.

Awkwardness is a necessary part of human interaction and communication honestly. Sometimes shit just gets awkward, even with the most socially adept people. The key is to just move on with the conversation and not think about it too hard

I agree COMPLETELY. My one goal in life to to spread my seed as much as possible, and this is another way to do that. Thank you!

[mvajuru]

This guy has really high emotional intelligence

[deag]

As an Autistic person, this has helped me understand small talk GREATLY, thank you so much!

[christianc]

my old boss used to randomly comment on things, stuff i’d usually sort of agree with, crack a joke about and we’d carry on; at first, very awkward “talking to my boss” moments, that slowly grew more comfortable, until one day we ended up spending 2 hours talking about our views on world history, his unbelievable amazing stories of all the people he’s met, and our shared love for making music, now we’re more or less best friends, we talk most weeks and i haven’t worked at that job in a long time

[oi]

Man. Watch these almost all the time and I ain’t saying it enough I guess. These animations and this dudes narrative is just off the charts 🙌🏽😂 keep it up

[SnowflakeAJ]

FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT small talk is actually important and necessary and it doesnt have it be a mind gripping 5D game of chess its just genuinely trying to talk and have a connection with someone no matter how surface level it is, the fact that you're speaking is cool and it'll open the door for more interaction that builds up rapport and trust iTS IMPORTANT GUYS

The seed analogy actually made me want to be more social in my daily life
