I often plan out conversations in my head that I end up never having in real life.

[anshroow]

I know I have bad social skills but what is sad is that Youtube knows it enough to recommend this too me. 😂

I'm awkward.
Honestly .
I really don't know what to say to people.
It's like my mind goes completely blank and it refuses to help.
I don't have friends because I can't communicate easily.
I actually like being by myself though.
Makes me a good listener.
But you know we need to get ourselves out there sometimes.
So I decided on 4 simple steps:
1) open with a smile;
2)compliment people;
3)crack a joke here & there.
4) most importantly - L I S T E N


This is literally to anyone I meet.

My mind is also making a conversation with me while I'm conversing with someone

[Andrew-igsp]

*smile*
*shoulders down and back*
“Hi, How are you?”
“I’m well, how are you?”
“I’m well, thanks.”


*runs away crying*

It’s easy to start a conversation, the hard part is to keep it going

Most of us Introverts have a hard time communicating with others because we have insecurities about ourselves.

my conversation
me: ''hi how are u ''
random person: ''fine how are u''
me: ''good''
[awkward silence]

[staR-nhwq]

Well once I asked someone
“How are you?”
And she said “Good how are you?”
And I said back “I’m good how are you?”
😭

Edit: (someone in the comments asked what happened after that)

She threw up and I’ve felt worthless and ashamed of myself ever since

1. Think of intention before a conversation
2. Body language: hands visible, shoulders down, smile
3. Best opening: "Hello how are you?"
4. Sparks: eyebrows raise
5. Best ending: "Hey what are you up to this weekend?" -> "It's so great to speak with you, I wish a best luck on ...."
6. Pivot out when available for people to approach
7. Sweet spot to find someone to talk: grab a drink and stand beside the snack place

"Smile is the opening line"
We need a pandemic version of this 😭

[DrErwinKwun]

4. Aim for Sparks
5. Exit by referring to the future

She's so good at speaking, so confident and no stuttering or long pauses.

I picked up my wife with this line.
Would you like some company. She said yes. It was a wrap from there. This was at work in the cafeteria. It took me a little bit to build up the courage to do that. Lol.

[katcampbell]

I find the best conversations happen with people I have chemistry with. Its sadly a darn rare occurrence but lovely when it happens

[queenestyzigi]

Introverts, gather here coz this tips will come in handy 😂

[VicZ]

A really good and condensed 7min talk, I watched 4 times.

Here are notes I took and hope it helps other people like me.

• Set an intention for the conversation you want to get out of
• Smile to people
• What’s a good opening line?
◦ Start with simple greeting, like : “hey how are ya” don’t say something too intense.
◦ Complement are great second and third.
• Look for conversation sparks, find the cues of engagement, e.g. eyebrow raised, so you know they are interested in the topic. Find mutual likes.
• Ending a conversation
◦ Last impression is as important as the first impression
◦ shift to future-warding discussion
◦ Mention you are happy to chat and wish them best luck
• Approaching people: look for open gesture, be open gesture / pivot out when you want to be approached
• Get off your cellphone
• Tip for when you have no one to talk to on a party: a sweet spot is at the exit of the food line, that’s where people just got food and have no one talk to, and you can use your opening line “hey how are you”

I'm introvert but I try to be more sociable. I just feel like If I can do I will have a lot of friends, new knowledges I've never know before, new attitudes and etc.. <3 <3 <3
