Happy Sunday everyone! This week it's a video on networking tips for introverts! Let us know what you think! Also, you guys might noticed that we have been producing fewer and fewer videos. The truth is our funds is starting to dry out and we need to be a bit more selective with the rate of our production. Hope you guys won't mind that! However, we have the list of topics of stuff you guys suggested so those will still come out! Enjoy your Sundays everyone!
Psych2Go Please don't stop making the videos, I love this channel.😀
Psych2Go just out of curiosity, have you considered a Patreon account? I've noticed many other small UA-camrs seem to utilize this tool, as well.
Psych2Go good tips. But I feel they're mostly for the extremely introverted like Sheldon Lee Cooper.
I sent you an email about some business a couple of weeks ago but you never replied. Do you even check your business email or did you just not agree to it?
Hey, you can email us here: animations@psych2go.net. Maybe we will update our contact address. Sorry about that Fleecemaster. @ziwei, we won't stop for you guys. Just restructuring the finances and op side to make things work. @Nikki, we have actually. We're thinking of seeing how that works! Thanks for the suggestion! @Paul, how so? Can you elaborate? :)
But why should I get more friends? I have three very good friends and that's enough for me.
Quality over quantity.
Not friends. Connections.
Anonym 1 It's not about getting more friends. It's about establishing connections and contacts that may come in very handy later in your life. You may get new opportunities that you wouldn't have gotten without networking, and that's why it's important.
I think it depends on the situation, you have a circle of close friends already formed but what if you have to go far away from them and work/study somewhere else... eventually you would need contacts/friends to better adapt yourself to your new surroundings. It's not necessary but it can make things easier or relaxed in certain places or situations.
Its not just friends, its having to make connections for business purposes too
Well let's just say this new people in your life can either make you a better person or a bad person. Life's a journey you got to explore. Experience is the key to making it easier for the introvert to communicate like myself. :')
How my conversations go:
they don't.
the fact that nobody replied to this yet is so funny
Networking? Not working 😑
Lul
Lol fr😂😂😂😅
Gender fluid dogs? My God.
i face palmed
Its 2018 are you judging them!!!
Please no.
1 phone call can and will kill me
Ice Spike I had to call someone on the phone a couple of days ago...
After I hung up, I legit cried for a hour :/ I was so scared and panicking all the time D: :(
Same.
I literally worry for hours if i have to just call in sick for college ..
Can we make this into a meme? This is great. 1 phone call and I will die.
Ice Spike What's wrong with phone calls? Why are you and others so scared of them? How is it different from talking to your friends in real life?
The longest I've ever gotten in a conversation is, "How are you?", and then it dies.
i hate it when i just say "how are you" and the person im speaking to dies. Am i the only one?
lol jk relatable
For me it
Me: hi
Other Person: hi
*we both walk away*
I don't like the word networking, the whole thing seems shady. I see it as just go out and make a new friend for no personal gain. It works out way better I think
nothing happend with out a personal gain !
Draggos Dinca
Making a life long friend is getting personal gain lol because they'll be there for you
That Brown Guy Life would be easier if you've got connections.
HI THERE. IF YOU want to be a better person,if you're looking for confidence, advantage, meaning in life, whatever it is you want I make videos on it. *Come watch my videos* . Concepts are easy to grasp, you just gotta come to the channel!
You wanna know why? Its because ur an extrovert thats why
My conversations:
"Hey, i don't have any friends"
My conversations after this video:
"Hey, i don't have any friends, and i like genderfree Puppies. What about you? Am i talking too much? "
I would respond with "No, puppies are fun, what are your thoughts on genderfree pizzas?" and that's where we'd offer each other jobs and become millionaires. I think we've cracked this networking carry on.
Fahim Popal oh my god XD
Thanks for sharing this. I am an extroverted-introvert. I found my way to mastering networking, which I just shared on my channel with the hope anyone sees and field better.
As an introvert I found Music is the best way to connect. Once I find out someone I just met likes similar music, I have a lot of stuff to discuss and it makes it really easy for me to do a lot of talking. I can't count how often I met friends via music.
"Oh... You believe dogs should be gender-fluid.... Why?"
Code 0 dipper :0
"Why?"
Networking? I know how to do that. So, if you're using Java you will want to start by importing the fitting java.net packages... Oh. Wait.
lol
Conversations are soooooo hard sometimes! That's why texting is 100000000 times better and easier, I can send people texts that fill up 4 to 5 phone screens but when I have to talk to them in person I often lack ideas what to talk about... and then after the conversation I'm like "wait, I could have said this and that too... dammit, now it's too late!"And networking is hell. I just want to have my little circle of friends and not have to deal with more people ^sigh^
This is really helpful for someone like me who can be very awkward to talk to. I think I will start gradually weaving these helpful tips into conversations. I think it's all about baby steps and seeing what does and doesn't work. Thanks for this refreshing video!
I cried at genderfluid dogs tbh whoever made this one is a legend
Sarcastic Brit there is no such things as a gender fluid dog
Dogs would never think of it. But you could do them a favor by introducing some progressive ideas.
Explosive Cupcake that's the joke.....
I near shit myself as well. As audaciously stupid as that is.. I bet someone honestly thinks that should be a thing. Lol pls no
I won’t be able to do any of that but I think I’m quite socially anxious
Oh man this is helpful. I used to think I was great at starting a conversation and keeping it going, but once I graduated I realized that my go to was always to talk about how school has been, and I can no longer do that so I draw a blank every time.
1:50 always smile and if u can get really deep and personal??? wtf i wouldt be an introvert if i could do that easily
Networking is actually really good if you running a business so I think it is a good trade to learn.
Useful... useful
Hope so!
agreed.
Okay, this came in handy. I run out of questions easily. Talking to new people on a social site has helped quite a bit. Now I just have to start networking face to face and maybe I'll start feeling better.
Follow up questions are key to keep the conversation going.
I admire your good- natured humor about our modern dilemma of introversion. Thank goodness someone is doing something about it.
I only like to talk with people who have things in common with me, is it a bad thing?
You don't know annyeonghaseyo? No, of course not. My sibling is the same. But if you dig deeper, these people might have more things in common with you than you think haha. (Is this about liking kpop etc? Because I'm friends with people who don't care about kpop and it's H A R D haha) I suck at talking to basically anyone and the more we have common interests the harder it is, because i turn into a weird ass person when talking about things I like
You don't know annyeonghaseyo? I only talk to introvert like me
You don't know annyeonghaseyo?
i don't think it's bad thing,also ARMY😊
You don't know annyeonghaseyo? Likes and dislikes are not really good or bad. What matters is what you do about them - how you behave. You can prefer talking with people you have a lot in common with; most people do. But if that is all you do, you're missing on some different ideas. And in practice you will usually have to work with people who don't have a lot in common with you; the best teams are often groups wirh _different_ skill sets and perspectives. However, a preference does not actually stop you; you have a choice. Go do it anyway. You may get to like meeting new people; you may not. (I confess - I find it hard work, even if it's sometimes genuinely interesting). But they're more likely to like _you_ and you'll be better able to work with them. That's probably a good outcome.
Yes. You limit your knowledge in general. People with different views and interest can teach yoi a lot
2:24 this is the point you quit the conversation
I believe that a conversation just requires only 2 ingredients : being PRESENT and being HUMAN.
Awww! I find this cute! Because my online boyfriend is an introvert! We always have fun talking and he says: gotta keep the ball rolling when we run out of things to say!
Lol
I find this vid very educational! Thanks for making this, are you going to make more on extroverts or ambivert? I enjoy watching your vids! They help me when I need it or trying to think on how to make myself better or know what to do with my online relationship with my boyfriend! Keep them coming!
Wow, this is very useful and helpful! Thank you!~ 💕
But what happens when you get tired of talking or even listening to someone else? Because I get like that where I just want silence. What do I do then without being or seeming rude? 😅
Eden Blue go to the bathroom lol
End the conversation with "but it was nice meeting you. Meet again some time?" Because I've been there, I just push it to the end of the convo haha
Thanks for sharing this. I am an extroverted-introvert. I found my way to mastering networking, which I just shared on my channel with the hope anyone sees and field better.
What I find hard is not starting a conversation with a stranger but having a second one if I meet them again or if I want to have another one.
Thank you so much for this video! I'm an introvert that just graduated from community college. All my friends have been the ones I grew up with since elementary/middle school. I'm heading to Uni in a few weeks with completely new faces and places to meet. I'm terrified but this video is great!! Thank you so much!!
Fuck that, I'd rather be alone.
I'm actually going to employ these at my introvert social group. Great tips! I needed this.
I really needed this thank you!! nvn
..
Even though my problem is that I can't talk too long with people because I kinda get tired.
Yaay, new vid! And a good one at that!
:)
I like not talking better
These are great tips! Thank you for sharing.
This is good! As a socially anxious person I could ya all the help I can get. Y’all should do more on this topic! Tis a good one
the first 25 seconds of this made me laugh sooo much
Thank you I can definitely use this
My conversations :
"You like cats? I've A lot of cats at home"
Or
"Do you like to eat ? Ahah of course you does " (awkward silence )
If I can't take it anymore
"Oh Shit! I really need to go! Bye"
And then run away as fast as I can
Whenever I try to socialise nd get comfortable with them nd get out of my shell a bit more, something happens tht pushes me back in 🤦🏽♀️ The cause of it all is *Networking*
OMG..!!Thanks I needed this🙏
But we should avoid asking questions without any kind of information about ourselves, because no one wants to be interrogated by a stranger haha.
So maybe something like "so what made you come here?" They'll be like, "my friend made me come here." Then you reply with "oh! That's funny, my friend made me come here too. I dunno why, though. She told me to be her emotional support, but there she is fine, hanging out with people I don't know." And maybe they'll continue off about that. If theyy don't, maybe you can ask. Unless thry really seem like they don't give a shit hahaha
After you've got to know someone I just say Hi then how are you and that's it.
My name's jeff
hi Jeff!
SatoshixSerena Eeve wat up Jeff!!!!
Hey ya Jeff!
That's pretty nice, but you should really reply to more pressing comments.
lol im gonna assume youre a Liza fan ♥
"Or an alien"
Lmao
I somehow feel that this video wasn't made by anyone with real, serious introversion.
Tips that work for extroverts will not work for the 90+% introvert.
Besides, we don't *_need_* a network, or acquaintances, or Facebook friends. We're good.
An alternate title would be "An Introvert's Guide to Making Friends"
No dislikes!!!
Dušan Xmetov those 6 people liked your comment
Your voice is really cute and I feel like I could listen to you talking all dayGreat video too btw
Hello people. Another video on this channel had a comment which said something about making a group for introverts. That inspired me to make a Discord server for introverts. It's free to join, and we already have 200+ members. It's just a fun, little corner of the internet where you can find people like you and who can relate to your problems. I recommend that you join!
Here's the link: discord.gg/VhXDqpG
seems helpful
Thanks is all i can say
ERMAGERD THANKS 4 DIS VID IT REMINDED ME HOW SPECIAL I AM AS AN INTROVERT BECAUSE I AM MORE INTELIGUNT THAN EVERYONE ELSE BECAUSE I AM AN ECCENTRIC INTP GENIOUOUS INSTEAD OF JUST A BORING BASIC HUMAN BEING THX GUYS KEEP THE SELF VALIDATION VIDEOS COMING
even though I'm introverted, networking can help me become ambiverted
Thank you for all these advises... still feel very intimidated to start/keep a relationship... 😞
Thank you so much for this video. Gonna use all the tips and tricks from this video said no introvert ever. 😂😂😂 I am too introvert to use it, I will say only but won't act on it. My "friends" say act on it and don't just say it but they don't know how hard it is for me to actually do it.
I don't like pizza.... I'm sorry homies.....
:O
Very Good Topic... 😊😀😁
I usually make jokes to break the ice at the start, as the jokes go by, I can start precieving what kind of person I'm talking to, furthermore, humor is a great way to release stress in social context.
Oh my god thank you.
I have some other way to deal wtih small talks or "networking". I am asking questions all the time, shaking head, looking into eyes, pretending to be very interested, and the other person is talking. I don't say anything about me and I give an impression that I care what other have to say (while I don't, when it's not my friend).
Thanks
Thaaaank yooouu!!!
"Hey do you want to go to this par-"
*i would rather set my underwear on fire and jump off the grand canyon*
this is something I have to do and not happy about it but that's how it is at work... resources!! NOT HAPPY AT ALL!... last week was so tiredson bc of that and thinking tomorrow will continue make me want to cry😕
If you feel awkward to talk to a stranger, just remember, they don't know you yet, so you have to make the best first impression and if it fails, at least you tried.
The idea of networking just seems terrible
It's bloody hard when the whole world seems to be set up for extroverts, apart from self-service scanners, they're a joy.
Here it Goes Biatch !
1. Talk about what Brought You Together
2. Try to find a deep and solid similarity
3. Ask Some Follow-up Questions
4. If you are Talking,keep Talking
5. Avoid close-end Questions
I only use networking in conection with computers
attempting to network at work, and uh. yeah i failed. hopefully this video has some good tips.
Mimic them.gesture, posture, may be even accents. Everybody likes someone of their own type.
*not even a minute in* " AAAHHH NO!! DONT MAKE ME TALK TO PEOPLE!! THEY'RE NOTHING LIKE ME!! "
Conversation:no
Party:no
Family gathering:no
Sit in the dark alone and watch anime:yes
Phone calls kill me in about 6 different ways
And I thought I was the only one!
I'm mainly focused on finding simularitys like you pointed out but I'm always nervous to ask like what am I gunna say or am I just gunna make a reference and hope they get normally I just end up saying "hay do you like ________?" But the answer is usally no....
Asking questions you don't care about answers. Pretending that you are interested in them or their stories while you are not. You cannot be yourself.
Circles give me anxiety.
nut working ?
Is anyone here who can tell me which software is used here to make this type of simple drawing animation? ???
I just learned how to interact with individuals in 3 minutes.
Networking doesn't require talking to people. We have texting and typing on the internet.
If someone thinks, dogs should be genderfluid, I turn around and go.
I don't need such dimwitts in my network...
Lol same
So in this day and age its common to network through the internet and make new friends through the internet right? Well... lately ive been making a lot of new friends and its gotten easier for me to network or talk to folks in real life, however because of this ive been feeling like i need to take some time to myself and like.. recharge. So i was wondering what you guys think, is it possible for your social battery to drain through the internet??
I was watching this and I realized what networking means and im like "F..K NO THIS WILL NEVER HELP ME GOODBYE FOREVER!!!!"
Goodbye forever.
If someone asked me 'how's the weather' I'd tell them to just look out a window.
In my mind... somehow its screaming "shut the fk up"
Thinks. But actually, I don't mind not talking to people. Thanks anyways.
I only network when I need to. I hate small talk.
Talking with people stresses me out
I dropped an accounting course because the word networking was repeated so many times that i found out how pointless it would be for me when I considered my personality
Ok but what i struggle with, i feel weird if i randomly talk to a stranger they think im weird... idk
How conversation should have been: "Oh! You believe dogs should be gender fluid?"(exits room)
I want to go for entrepreneurship but I HATE socialising and I HATE humans in general. I don't feel the need to converse with people because I'm convinced nearly everybody around me is an idiot (no, I'm not a narcissist) and I don't want people bothering me.
By the way I am an introvert too
I come for the voices
Do I'm the only one who prefer to listen instead of talking, I just feel the world force me to talk (or else nobody talk to me) and to be something I can't be...
HA HA networking may add some extroversion into you
