Eric, man, that's my brother's name. It's great that you have found this youtube channel because there are so many of us here that think alike. I wonder if it really is ruining your life or if that's a skewed perception you have developed over the years through life experience. There's this quote from Marilyn Monroe that always makes me question the true nature of my socially awkward/anxious self. "Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring."

All you have to do is really genuinely care about every word the other person is saying. Focussing on their words and the meaning behind those words will keep you out of your own head. Never think about what you are going to say and never hesitate with saying what comes to mind. Everyone has the natural ability to converse together, really care about the other person when you are talking with them

Someone recently gave me the same advice and they phrased it in a way I found really powerful: letting fear 'wash over you'. accept that there is no immediate way to rid yourself of that fear other than to experience it BUT by letting go of resistance towards that fear you discover some new kind of resilience within yourself.

By avoiding it you only prolong it until the next time the situation arises and you do it again. You aren’t escaping the fear by avoiding it, you’re letting it rule you. Plus you usually regret letting the fear keep you from moving forward, but once the opportunity arises and you feel that fear, you just avoid it again. Once you face the fear you realize how it wasn’t even as bad as you feared it would be.

@@grahamholbrook9112 for me, part of it was realizing that just like any other emotion fear is a tool. A tool for survival and social adaptation. What this fear is trying to do is protect me. Rather than rage at it and hate it, I treat it in my mind as a well-meaning friend. "Thank you, but this is not what I need right now". Do the thing anyway; it's still going to be scary, but let go of this hate that you have towards the feeling.

I can totally relate to what you said in this video. I’m always anxious about social interactions because I feel that nothing on my life is really interesting to other people. As a result, what usually happens is others sharing a lot and I don’t share that much. I remember that my friends in school saying “Your are always quiet, you dont say anything. Say something” but I honestly did not know what to say. I was able to improve since then, but I still struggle with social interactions now with 23 years-old. I try to focus on the other person and ask questions about them, but eventually I ran out of things to ask and I dont want it to feel like an interrogation. But your content has been helping a lot, I wish I found your channel earlier. Thanks a lot!

My loophole for getting over awkwardness was viewing the inability to tolerate it as weakness. I’ve always hated weakness, and never wanted to be perceived as weak. As such, it was a point of pride for me to be able to tolerate awkwardness longer than anyone else, even if no one else thought of it that way. Of course, if you don’t mind being weak this doesn’t really help you…😬

Thanks for this video! It really shows me that if I don’t overthink things and just get out there and introduce myself and so forth, i can truly make good friends. I know how to sense the red flags in people and im rlly excited… i just moved and am about to start school again but I’ve been very nervous. Im just gonna shake off the fear and head straight into social situations and look for common interests. Wish me luck!!

It's ridiculous how spot on your description of me was in this video, always been socially awkward due to being different but started being able to socialize more in recent years though I do have 2 main problems, not being able to remember names well (which can be awkward when approaching others😅) and not being able to keep a conversation going (since as I mentioned I don't have many common topics to use in a conversation)

I contemplated about this before. And I did some self reflecting on two different scenarios. The first scenario is me on a date with any stranger of the opposite sex. The second scenario is me alone with my best buddy. In the first scenario, I have a harder time coming up with topics,whereas it's easier in the second scenario with my best bud. I realize the difference lies in your comfortability. The more comfortable you are, topics just spring out effortlessly.

The trick to get rid of social anxiety is to not give a fuck what others think but mostly to never take rejection personally There’s a million reasons why strangers don’t want to speak to us and it’s mostly out of our control. Talk about whatever you want,tho begin with small easy talk then gradually talk about deeper stuff once u get comfortable. Sometimes strangers don’t have time,they might have their own issues or bad days and millions of other possible issues so I never really take rejection personally unless I said something bad It’s not just about us and that’s how I came to understand there’s nothing to fear and to stop overthinking if I’m boring this or whatever Not to say we shouldn’t improve our social Improving charm and kindness helps a lot

But seriously, when I was a child my social skills were perfect and I had absolute confidence in it, and ever since I hit the teens, not so much. A lot of the times when I stay quiet my mind wants to say something, but that fear keeps on seeping in. It's a proper struggle. I feel me and you are the same.

@zebo6162
@zebo6162 Жыл бұрын
Hey man, I can somewhat relate with your struggle. Something that’s helped me is working through why I have (and believe I have) these negative traits through meditation and journaling. I found that changing your self-perception does wonders in how others perceive you through improving your nonverbal communication; they say words are only 10% of communication, and I’m certain nobody can completely control the other 90% of tone, posture, etc. In the end I believe a lot of self-improvement is a mental game. Best of luck!

By watching this video I realized what I had wrong. I am too stuck at the “small talk” stage, and haven’t thought about the “getting deep” stage. Idk why but I haven’t given it enough attention….. that’s why I have so many problems with connecting. I am very good at initiating conversations, but my real problem is definitely with the deep talk, because I seem to not get any luck with knowing someone even better, although we continue to keep a consistent mutual connection….

I think people are being awkward because they feel like they supposed to do something about a certain situation so they feel anxious all the time questioning their behavior and their speaking . for ex : someone in a party will be like " now i sould dance , but wait i dont look good , now i will sit , now they are staring at me maybe i should stand ...etc so they are drowned by their inner voices . JUST DO YOU , AND DONT STRESS ABOUT IT .IF U WANNA STAY SILENT STAY SILENT COMFORTABLY DONT FEEL GUILTY ABOUT IT , ALSO SURROUND URSELF WITH PEOPLE WHO LOVES U AND ACCEPT YOUR AWKWARDNESS AND PUSHES U TO OVERCOME IT .
