Asking to play a game of uno seems kinda genius to me, it shifts the focus half on the game and half on you, which kind of eases the pressure of having to keep the conversation alive, meeting people through playing games seems like a great idea.

I've never really been shy but always sort of waited for what I thought was a socially appropriate situation to talk to people but after watching his content I've realized that even if you will get rejected sometimes you can usually just walk right up and start chatting with people. The one where we got the girl to come to a party after knocking on her door was absolutely wild. Definitelly made me realize it's still worth it to try even in the randomesy situations.

I'm gonna be honest, every time a stranger walked up to me and asked my name and shaked hands, I always get immediately suspicious. Because all the time they're either trying to sell me something or just straight up ask for money. I would never trust anyone to not have ulterior motives if they ask my phone number or invite me to their house for 'events'.

@katd7716 9 ай бұрын

True, also as a woman you are more suspicious on people's intent in general. I like talking to strangers though but in controlled environment. I love hostels for that, you can approach people and chat to them so easily and the next thing you know, you have new friends and you end up doing things in a new city with them the next day.

@AS-rr9km 8 ай бұрын

Lol. This is how you miss opportunities though! They are trying to show you! I understand keeping yourself safe. I met my husband through a random friend of his. We were in the same Facebook photos as each other for months at concerts, but had never met, & were only 2 feet from one another. I asked his friends name & we connected (platonically). He introduced me to all his friends on like the first day hanging out, my husband being one of them, many years later on. If I hadn’t reached out to the random guy tagged in the same photos as me to become friends, I may have never met my guy! Just a happy way of saying, reach out if you have the feeling. “Seeking discomfort” doesn’t mean “ignore danger”. You’ll sense the difference. Good luck on branching out 😊

Edit: I completely neglected to update this for a while but yes I have met some very friendly people, to those who have asked. The city I live in has a bit of a reputation for being friendly which makes life easier, but either way, it goes to show that it is possible :) Edit 2: The city is Köln, Germany. I’m finding it doable even with a language barrier so theoretically it should be even easier with a common language

I genuinely love making connections with others and have always been the one to put myself out there in my group of friends. Just as much as they have always given me crap for being able to just talk to a stranger, I give them crap for not being able too. Too me it's fascinating to think about how easy it is to connect with someone even off the tiniest gestures like, "hey, I love your shirt. Where'd you get it?" Even if you don't make a friend, you're still leaving that individual with something to feel happy about. There's literally nothing to lose and quite possibly everything to gain from making friends. I love what you guys are doing and I hope your channel blows up in popularity! 🤷🏽‍♂️ Just my two scents.
