How to Meet Like-Minded People

When I first began my journey of health, spirituality, and self-development I had friends but I didn't know anyone that was into what I was into. I went on a deep journey to improve my social skills and overcome fear. In this video I share my methodology for synchronously meeting amazing people wherever I go.

Thank you for this video. As an extremely introverted person, it can be hard sometimes to let go of the self-criticism and the stories that you make up in your mind about how people will perceive you but I coudn't agree more with what you said, being completely open and transparent will literally melt down the walls and eventually you'll feel so much more connected! Sending light and love all the way from Portugal xx

Thanks a lot. My notes:
3 steps:
-Developing intuition and the knowingness of when you're able to meet someone and the ability to see them in a social setting
-Having the courage and the social skills to approach them and engage with them
-Having the honesty and authenticity to connect with them on a deeper level instantly

So many people around us who'd be AMAZING to meet. If you have positive intentions in meeting like-minded people the entire universe conspires to help you achieve that.

We usually have the inner voice that tells us who to meet, how to approach them and what to say but we get very good at ignoring it and listening to your fears.

1. Get present, don't be up in your head. Scan the room, look for people who stand out to you, who intrigue and attract you
2. Develop the courage to approach them. It is a skill of repeatedly facing your fears and acting in spite of them - it can be learned by anyone.
Courageous people are still scared but take action regardless. Learn to get your body moving and walking towards that person. Do step after step robotically or whatever it takes to walk up to them and say the first words - that's the hardest part and the best way to do it is to shut off your brain
3. Be honest. People detect lies as easily as they build trust with you when you're genuine. Tell them what's on your mind. ("I was sitting over there and I notice I wanted to meet you. What's your story?"; "Hey I saw you and I really liked your style, actually I was trying to improve my style and wanted to ask your advice on it")

Be ok with having awkward interactions, being scared, stuttering, shaking, etc.

The best thing you can do is not to be too much in your head and stay "socially warmed up" - engage with people you see socially, whether it's just eye contact or small talk. Keep your brain in a social state.

Im open, I moved to a new place and havnt met people . I miss having somebody to talk to, have dinner with and lay under the stars talking about life. ❤

Thanks for your advice! I will try it out 😁

[aljazbrezigar]

Thank you for the advice. Been looking for that kind of a video for a while now😃 The information for us introverts is amazing. Thank you again💪

[leilamarie]

I was definitely lead here. I'm going through an end/beginning of a season and it can get lonely without like minded people. What I would like to add to this if I may is that you have to get out there like you stated and experience new things! We will not meet anyone like minded ordering groceries from out home and just staying secluded on social media. Find an event you're interested in and force yourself to go as I am forcing myself to go today haha thanks much love ❤️

I can resonate with everything you said. I've been practicing these things for some years now. I consider myself an extrovert. It is really easy for me to connect and make new friends.

But, the past month, I moved into a new city, everything is much different, I met various kinds of people but I could find someone I truly resonate with. I started feeling like an awkward introvert surrounded by a sea of people but lost in their own mind.

Then I searched for inspiration for meeting new people on YouTube and found your video. I think I can get back to my previous self and make real and deep connections now.

100% aligned man, exactly what I’ve realized over time. You are your own compass.

Thank you so much, this video is comforting. I just came back to my small french city after a trip to London. I went into an hostel and met the most fabulous people, from all around the globe : we shared music, visions on life, politics and talked about movies. Now that I'm back, I feel in a narrow place and I want to travel again so I can meet wonderful people.

You have such a beautiful gentle aura, its comforting. I feel like you give the best hugs

Simply be honest, be good, be better, be exactly what God wants us to be.

For me, the hardest part is finding situations where there will be anyone who stands out to me.. while living in a car and traveling for almost a year there was one time when I found a place where almost everyone there stood out to me at once, but that is quite far from where I live and I've never been able to afford to move anywhere else permanently.. I definitely struggle with confidence but I've found that when I have encountered people that I resonated with even from a distance, I still interacted with them although it was difficult. I definitely don't regret it, though it never resulted in anything lasting as the location and timing didn't line up even if we as people did. I can only really remember two times in my life where I felt I was around people who I was compatible with but both times it was far away from where I live and I know that the creation of water retention landscapes, ecological sanctuaries, and diverse perennial food systems open to the public is something that needs to be done over an extended period of time working with people in person.. It's difficult to be part of a movement that is so spread out and in places where I am not..

It's good to see someone talking about this, I feel it is too often taken for granted that resonant people will just be in people's lives already.

Before even clicking on your video, I said to myself: I definitely want to meet this guy. And then I watched the video and it was exactly what I needed to hear. Thanks. Now I will stop crying about having noone to talk to about things that I love and go and find like-minded people :)

[lisasahoo]

Hi Calum..i am an extrovert still since I don't get like minded people like me..this completely drains my energy n makes me dull and depressed... I hope i had someone like u in my neighborhood

[erikagonzales]

Great advice and I love the way you shot the video....like you took us for a walk:) Nowadays that most material stuff has devalued in my life and has been over taken by awareness, spirituality and minimalism, I feel more lonely because others around me are not in the same frequency as me. I'm grateful to have found your video with so many other wonderful people that added to your you! Good vibes to all!

[bennystravelfinds]

Great advice, I agree with you. I've experienced meeting people in that way also, especially when I feel confident happy with the way my life is going. Although at times its hard to muster up the courage and be open and honest when your not feeling the best inside. I've struggled with identity and knowing what I want to do/be when I grow up (I'm 30 now lol) and I recently quit my job and have been lost, and its hard meeting new people when you feel like you have no identity or nothing to offer, especially when the most common question comes up "so what do you do?" haha

[robertmearns]

Some good ideas. I can relate to what you said about feeling like there aren't any people that are like-minded. You offered me hope.

[hip-hopman]

I really can feel authenticity in you. And it feels good to watch you speaking :))

[gioovannabp]

I want to meet people with this mindset, I want to be your friend, honestly. The meditation retreats seem like a good idea for me

Best video I've seen on this topic. Very helpful!
