How to level up your conversation skills! | 110 Seconds | Communication hack

How often should you talk about yourself? Most people only care to talk about themselves even tho they should really be listening more often. In this video, I'm explaining what happens in someone their brain when they talk about themselves. At the end, I'm also teaching you how to make someone addicted to you.

What about talking to myself? Is that a good communication skill?

[luckul]

This is the first 110 seconds that I watched and I understand the hype

[mooiles]

YES MORE 110 SECONDS OH IVE MISSED THEM

[unitledreacts]

The message: Talk about issues, not yourself.
The example: Use gestures, make eye contact, don't use verbal fillers, pace yourself, and so much more. Just watching and hearing you speak is a lesson in itself. Goals.

Best conversation advice I've ever read is to always get the conversation to shift to the other person. If someone says how good their weekend was, don't say "mine was good too" but instead follow up to find out more about their weekend. They wouldn't have brought it up without wanting to talk about it.

Wow, really incredible nearly 1 in 3 comments are people talking about themselves. Spot on.

You’ve made my school year 100 times better and although school is online most of the time, whenever I do get to talk to people I can break the awkwardness so much quicker

Doctor: You have 110 seconds to live.
Me: DAVID!!

My first step in my recovery from being an extraordinarily awkward person was learning to just listen attentively/enthusiastically and get others to talk about themselves!! Before you have developed advanced social skills, this is enough and make people absolutely adore and appreciate you even if you’ve not got much to say!

Easily one of my favorite people on YouTube. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge.

[natrosenquist]

Maybe I'm weird, but I'm not fond of talking about myself. One of the reasons I haven't sought the psychiatric help I probably need.

[kuzcoduzco]

To top off a great day, the best speaker I know uploads. Thanks for keeping it consistent!

[samtheham]

The listening tactic is also mentioned in Dale Carnegie’s book How to Win Friends and Influence People. He said if you listen to people, they will think you are the most intelligent and interesting person in the world.

Art.

The way you speak sir is simply art. Long way for me to be as good as you. Thank you david!

[janavanbellingen]

I have a job interview tomorrow which I only learned about today and I'm binging your videos both to calm down and to prepare. Thank you so much for making all of this easily accessible knowledge

[robertmilchis]

YES!! Another episode of the greatest news bulletin ever! This really made my day after I actually had a bad day.

[th_CAV_Trooper]

This was the best 110 seconds of my day.

I got the point 100%, but tbf social media is all about talking about ourselves. Either you share what you are passionate about / find interesting, funny etc, or answering others' questions. And to do that, the best sources are your own experiences.

I like when you use a lower tone register noise to increase attention (you also sound excited about what you speak about, which helps) and then present facts. It's normally used by females for likeability, but it works just as good for males in situations where you want the emotional side to work with the critical side of the brain while presenting facts. Nice details. I see them.

That was in the Carnegie's book "How to Win Friends & Influence People" I read that book and thought to myself: If i'm gonna do everything this book says i'm gonna feel myself in a wrong place all of the time, fake person or something. So it's good if u read that book, but don't use it, so u can recognize other people and subconsciously maybe do right things without knowing that. (Author died without any friends or family, most likely because he wrote in the book how he gained all the friends and it just seemed like he manipulated everyone) It is really hard if u make videos and just don't want to do that stuff, when u know it's gonna increase your retention etc... i don't wanna feel fake
