Introverts appeal to people because they're easy to be around. Even though it's a common misconception that they're stuck up, their aura is indeed welcoming
It's way more complicated than that. Introverts can advertise as insular and unwelcoming as well. They can also be easily dominated in conversation if they don't assert themselves.
My experience says otherwise. Being a good listener is ok, but from my experience, people expects you to talk more about yourself than listen to them. My extroverted friends who keep talking about themselves get way more attention and magnetize more people than me and my other introverted friends. Even someone who was also an introvert and even more shy than me didn't make our relationship last. In the school, the same stuff. In the university, still the same story. Extroverted people, who do all kinds of extroverted stuff (involving other people and activities with them) get way more people to listen to their crap and be around them. Now, as an introvert, it doesn't matter much if there are people around you or not. That is true and it didn't bother me that I was alone for a long time (with the exception of a few close and also introverted friends). But you come to realize that most of the jobs you apply for, most of the people that you want to build a relationship with, actually require you to be more outgoing and extroverted. IMO, society as a whole is pushing individuals to be extroverted rather than accepting introverted people as they are.
This channel is so valuable for people who struggle with being around others. My daughter is super socially awkward and watches these and has really come out of her shell a lot.
Started watching these in high school now I’m about to graduate college with a strong social circle and a job in sales. No one can guess I used to be shy, awkward, and introverted in HS. Small steps that translate into real results. Would recommend a job that forces you talk with a lot people like sales
1. Only use energies when it matters such as introduction and then switch to natural energy level 2. Use hand gesture when want attention especially point figure up 3. Rendering smile 4. Easy to laugh never fake laugh
Introverts can be great socially, its just often they need time to figure you out before they will open up and fully be themselves around you. I think they really excel in one on one interactions, extroverts more so in group settings.
Yeah agree. I am much better and so much more social in 1 on 1 conversations or small groups up to max 4 people. Then big groups. And introverts are so so good in deep talks/topics and getting in deep in the slightes moments about everything. which can be sometimes feel so nice. And gives a bigger connection. And when i am in a 1 on 1 conversation i ofcourse can also easily switch to casual less deeper topics. But mostly (not always because sometimes you just need casual topics) prefer the deeper ones.
@@elviram7599 omg I thought the thing about avoiding bigger group is just me! I'm so glad to find other introverted person who actually think so too. I found talking in a group of four people is more comfortable and not exhausting much. Also, maybe it's just me liking even numbers, but I have this thought about a group in even numbers means that nobody gets left out when hanging out or walking altogether because I tend to see people walking in pair especially in a small sidewalk.
Same here. I haven't really struggled with social life as an introvert because I always hung out with 2 or 3 friends max at a time. And with everyone I have interaction specific to my relationship with that person. Always works out, even being introverted.
Being the object of an interview as a celebrity is vastly different than being a regular introvert trying to converse with another person who isn't instantly intrigued by what you potentially have to say
Well either we get assertive about wanting to say something, or we listen. So few people know how to listen. Most people listen to respond, not to actually listen. I think as an introvert my power is in listening, that’s what makes people wanting to talk with me, they feel I will actually engage with them, they know I am never just making small talk
Great video. I am an introvert and have no problem with who I am. I LOVE being an introvert, and am always busy doing things that create joy, but why do so many people think introverts need fixing? I certainly don’t! People and their drama absolutely drain me and crush my soul! I have a circle of friends and am content with just having those trusted people in my circle. I don’t feel the need to constantly make new friends or to even be heard. I don’t feel like anything is wrong with that.
i don't see they are trying to fix an introvert. But most times, people with this trait usually feel out of place among others even if they want to go along with them. It is hard to deal with smalltalk (i hate it, i am part of the team too) but sometimes we have no escape, we are humans and social interaction is part of our lives.
i absolutely agree with saving your willpower for the most important moments of the day! the key as an introvert is not to try to talk more, but to listen more. people don't want to talk about anything more than themselves!
@@philsomething8313 the solution would be to direct the conversation onto their interests of course, but if you are doing that already i would suggest trying to show more warmth towards the person, by smiling and showing a genuine interest to learn more about them ofc what i said is very general and it may not even help you at all, but i had to try and help a brother 🙂
@@RussellClausse thanks for the advice dude :). One problem is that i have worked with some of these people and only had surface level conversations now (2 + years), how could I find out their interests without it being awkward you know? Just feels kinda weird having known them for 2 years and i just suddenly walk up and be like hey what do you do for fun? lol thanks again dude :)
@@philsomething8313 there's nothing wrong in not knowing certain things. Just speak what about your fun activities and ask them theirs and if they question you for not knowing it, just a gentle smile 😁 and reply if I knew i wouldn't have asked and get back to the topic of what they do for fun and let them know that you are free on certain day and would like to join in their fun
From personally experience, I thrived most when I worked on my self esteem. This video is great for learning to be engaging, but carrying a healthy confidence is going to make it or break you. Extroverts have a natural talent to discard this easier because they put themselves in the limelight to achieve positive attention and reaffirming their positive qualities. For us introverts, the key is not to rely on a crowd to support us, but learn how to appreciate yourself first. Once you learn to value yourself, you will expose in time the different layers that extroverts don’t take the time to discover about themselves. The best comparison that I’ve heard is that extroverts are sparkling, they are eye grabbing and glittery. They hold a personality that has its own appeal. Introverts would more like carry an aura that glows, there is a quiet presence that captivates people in a different manner. There is a warmth and depth to introverts that makes them mysterious, a lot of people know there is more than the surface. Learn to embrace it and you’ll carry a vibrancy that is unmatched.
@@Proximity94 Which is also why i complimented them, i made a lot of friends during my studies (from elementary to college) and among them, i've met some introverts which were the kindest people i've met. Also just like you, i'm an introvert and it is a good thing.
True but some people can take advantage of our helpful kind generous nature and it really hurts when we are betrayed by so called friends 💔 it breaks our heart ❤️ 💔
1. Front-load your enthusiasm - Use social energy in the moments that matter most (dance, big hug, big smile) - Bring energy and enthusiasm to the first few minutes of conversation - Transition to whatever energy feels natural to you 2. Hand signals to capture your attention - Hold your pointer finger up while pausing mid-sentence 3. Speak with a smile - Being a likable listener 4. Listen with the intention of laughing - Make them feel funny - Laugh freely when you do find something funny - Watch something that makes you laugh
As a former introvert that this channel helped a lot, I can say that 1) being authentic and 2) a great listener for more extroverted peers to bounce ideas off of has effortlessly made me more likeable to people. Can't thank this channel enough for the gems it's given me to use in my work/personal life!🤜🤜
You can’t be a “former” introvert. It’s the way your brain chemistry works. A lot of people seem to think introvert means ‘shy’ or ‘unconfident’ or ‘socially awkward’. It doesn’t, it’s about energy. Introverts have an excess of stimulation and so a lot of stimulation (eg. Social activities) are draining/overstimulating for them after a shorter time. Extraverts have low natural levels of stimulation and so seek a lot of stimulation (eg. Social interaction, more prone to thrilling risk tasking behaviours etc.) Introverts can be confident and outgoing, extraverts can be shy and socially awkward. It’s not about that, it’s about energy levels.
So weird how I already do this but never heard anyone put it together like this. I thought I was the only one who struggled with this my whole life. It can sometimes be draining to socialize I never thought about switching my energy level intentionally. Really great tips
This video is so well made! I feel like usually these types of videos have a few interesting things and then spend a lot of time expanding that a little bit and giving lots of examples. But this one is so dense, and there were so many tips that I felt are actually practical and would make a big difference. Point 3 is weaker, somewhat of an interesting point, but maybe less immediately doable. But it's not negative, because the video is perfectly aware of this and only spends 26 seconds on it! Made its point, and moved on. Fantastic video!
Wow loving this new narrator! Her voice is so sweet and lovely and she gave some great tips. I loved when she spoke about front-loading your energy, I’ll be sure to try that out.
00:33 - Front load your enthusiasm 01:13 - Use hand signal to capture attention 02:08 - Speak through a smile 02:33 - Listen with the intention of laughing Support me. Thank You.
As an introvert who has put into practice building relationships and being considered funny and charming, this video is offering some excellent advice. I couldn't agree more with these 4 points.
Haha, so cool. I was shy until 35... then... ...switched me to be not shy anymore generally and then I found out all myself, instinctively exactly this 4 things and since then I am going very easy through any smalltalk with people I know barely or don't like too much like colleagues... so, from my opinion, this tips are great. I would add: if you walk into a room with people where you would feel uncomfortable normally, walk in a tiny bit slower than normally and say "hi" 2... 3 seconds later than you would do, if you are nervous, I don't know why, but people like this very much and start smiling.
This could be the best channel on UA-cam no cap, I started to watch a video from your channel everyday to be socially better and I learned so much stuff is just a week!
Remarkable person reading this.. It’s going to get better; all it is a season of opportunity to grow and be better than before. Challenging times are meant to strengthen us, not to break us. Success doesn’t define to what happened to us; it is how we choose to deal with our circumstances. The more you grow and develop as an incredible person as you are, the more things will change for the better. Forgive more (for you), be grateful for even the smallest things (we have it way better than someone else), choose love over ego, choose humility over ego (humility is strength), and finally, invest into new skills so that your future self will thank you. Our lives will change forever the more we grow. Be thankful for the challenges for we know something greater is coming. Love you always - Nathalie ✨❤️
Love the advice. Especially cultivating laughing and smiling. I remember having a dream as a young adult and quite shy, where I had an ‘easy smile’ that made people like me. When I woke up, I went to see what that looked like in the mirror and then worked on bringing that smile out as often as I could. It took several years, but changed my life. Using Zendaya as an example of an introvert? Maybe just tell people that to become a popular introvert it’s best to be a very pretty vivacious extrovert..
Listening is the strongest power of us introverts. With talking you only repeat what you already know, only with listening you can observe and learn new things
This was a great viseo, and that final tip, about watching something funny before going out, is actually very helpful! Lately I’ve been doing it from time to time, especially when I’m about to hang out with many people, and it not only helps me relax but it really lifts my mood and I find myself to be much more at ease at the social event itself!
A long time ago, I had some difficulties with talking to people and being in public. But, after I have done some work, I notice great improvements. If you are struggling right now, just know that it is all possible to overcome. Just keep improving yourself. Have a great day everybody!
Remember, an introvert is not someone who dislikes being with people. An introvert is someone whose ‘social energy’ gets sapped quickly when with others compared to extroverts who gain that energy in the same situation. As an introvert, you probably find it difficult to get a conversation going or continuing one after meeting someone- either for the first time or even after a long time of being with that person. You may think that you don’t have anything important to say so you ‘save your social energy’ for when you think it matters. The way I get around this is by having some canned conversations ready- this takes work, but having convo starters like how was your day? Or why did you choose the profession you did? Or even, do you have kids? All help to get the other person to talk more than you, thus saving your energy for listening (which you are probably pretty good at). When they ask you questions you can always answer as you wish and then follow up with your own question like ‘how about you?’. This usually gets people talking again (and again saving you energy). Next thing you know you just got through an entire 2hr conversation where you probably just spoke for 20 minutes of it. This isn’t easy, and requires a lot of prep work - run conversations through your mind, look up some popular things to use as convo starters (be honest that you don’t know a lot about a thing- most people love talking about the things they love, all you have to do is prod them to keep going by showing them you are paying attention even when you aren’t). If this all sounds manipulative, that’s because it is. And that is ok. If this sounds like you, I hope it helps. If you think I’m full of crap, say so (and explain why)!
So glad the algorithm brought this video to my attention! I love this channel, and as an introvert, these are all really great tips. (And great timing, too. I’m going to a party tonight where I don’t know most of the guests, so this is super serendipitous!). Thank you for posting these videos, you’re doing a great job!
You know I’ve had a someone disrespect me bc I was quiet and then he started to respect me more by being able to speak up for myself in situations as a quiet person
I'm an introvert, but all of these "tips" are common sense to me. If any of the "tips" here were eye opening, you may want to look in to whether you have Asperger's Syndrome. For example, my new college girlfriend had it, and didnt disclose it at first. She said she'd be at my house at 8pm, and when she knocked on my apartment door at 8:05, I answered and said with a flirty smile "I thought you'd be here at 8:00." She apologized profusely. She was extremely smart at school, but couldnt pickup on social cues or flirtation. She later told me about her Asperger's.
I've used the finger pointer when talking to someone who kept interrupting me, and he accused me of treating him like a child. Apart from that, this is advice I've never heard before. Thanks.
0:29 Serotonin and oxytocin are the hormones during social interactions that get drained. These can be replenished by having internal positive self-speak and as well having good solid achievable short-term goals that support your long-term goals goals. Then reflect upon your successes. This will continuously recharge your hormones of serotonin and oxytocin. I hope this information helps as it has me :-)
I swear the social battery sign "triggered" me. It makes me think of those moments at parties where I find a chair in a quiet corner and hope nobody talks to me. The worst case of depleted social battery i ever had was when i was working as a front desk attendant in a hotel. At the end of one shift, i was practically slurring, it was as if i could not remember simple words.
I'm a huge introvert, but I do generously laugh and prefer laughter as a default. I guess I realize now that subconsciously it's my way of making people feel at ease with my own unease. I think it comes from being an entertainer, and I know how it feels to put yourself out without feedback. Whenever I'm around a room of other introverts, I end up being the guy that has to hold court. In general, I think this all comes from a longing to make everyone feel comfortable. I also notice that the less I talk, the more people give me attention when I do have something to say.
Here’s an idea (I don’t think you’ve this done yet) Could you do a video on how to carry a stronger presence?? Like you know how some people can walk into a room and without any words you can almost feel the weight of their presence? Idk it’s something about people with laser sharp focus and charisma that does this but I’ll let you do what you do best lol
Please make a video about Austin Butler. He's a great example of an introvert winning people over without draining his energy. He's always true to his nature but captivates audiences with storytelling and personality techniques.
I can attest to these working. I naturally exhibit these qualities from since I was a child. The fact that I always thought they weren't normal to suit my friends made me become awkward in my 20s. But they apparently love me for all these. So in my 30s now I am slowly shaking off my awkward 20s.
I got nowhere being like that :( The day I started accepting social "mistakes" and awkwardness, I learned from every encounter and got better! Welcome the embarrassment! You got it
@@jonathan99097 I did tried it you know, and these moments sit with me all the time, and I regret all of these attempts of being outgoing when I embaressed myself. I met and befriended people just by being myself, and they stabbed me in the back. I'd rather be alone than pile up more painful memories.
Therapists should start using this program in tandem with their own program for recovery. Knowing better ways of connecting with human beings has been just as healing for my PTSD as the therapy.
I'm an introvert. It's okay. You can still have success when competing against extroverts. When I am placed in that position, my confidence and knowledge shines thru. It appears as if I am an extrovert, when I am most definitely not. I'm glad I don't have to keep it going 24/7, yet when I need it, I have a treasure trove of confidence stored away for these important and opportune moments.
And confidence should NOT be lacking in anyone - regardless of being an introvert or extrovert. That's the most powerful way to level the playing field in every situation. All are unique. All have amazing skills, knowledge or abilities. Know it. Be yourself, yet know that there isn't a situation that cannot be conquered because it is the truth. 😉
@@thebigchief6870 thats a big lie , Extroverts are at a serious advantage. I am ashamed to have ever been an introvert . Its my biggest flaw in life that has cost me dearly
Yeah, I would be careful with that as a gesture - depending on your demeanor and tone it can come across as aggressive or arrogant. Politicians stopped pointing their fingers decades ago and now do this weird hand is pointing, but the index finger is
Laughing a lot is a slippery slope. I’ve seen a lot of people do that and i lose trust. Laughing and smiling is good but a lot makes one feel like a buffoon. Overall, good adoptable pointers :-)
Introverts appeal to people because they're easy to be around. Even though it's a common misconception that they're stuck up, their aura is indeed welcoming

A “former” introvert? People don’t really change in regards to this.
Both of those are so true and important
Yes That’s very true. One of my extrovert friends once said to me, “You know what I like about? You listen, you always listen to me”
How are you not an introvert anymore? Is it possible to learn this power?
You can’t be a “former” introvert. It’s the way your brain chemistry works. A lot of people seem to think introvert means ‘shy’ or ‘unconfident’ or ‘socially awkward’. It doesn’t, it’s about energy.

The more you grow and develop as an incredible person as you are, the more things will change for the better. Forgive more (for you), be grateful for even the smallest things (we have it way better than someone else), choose love over ego, choose humility over ego (humility is strength), and finally, invest into new skills so that your future self will thank you. Our lives will change forever the more we grow. Be thankful for the challenges for we know something greater is coming. Love you always - Nathalie ✨❤️
Thank you infinitely for this, dearest Nathalie! Lots of love to you!❤️
Thank you for taking the time to write this, this will help a lot of people:)
These comments are the worst, but okay. People who have real problems don’t give a single f*ck about what you said
The editing and splicing for these videos is prime.
This is so relatable, Hadley did such a wonderful job on this episode, I could listen to her hype me up all day!!
Finally, Idk if yall saw my comment about Zendaya and doing more charisma breakdowns on charming women but yes! finally!
Hadley did a great job. Nice to hear another voice on this channel.
What a great video! This INFJ is truly grateful!
Love the advice. Especially cultivating laughing and smiling. I remember having a dream as a young adult and quite shy, where I had an ‘easy smile’ that made people like me. When I woke up, I went to see what that looked like in the mirror and then worked on bringing that smile out as often as I could. It took several years, but changed my life.
Using Zendaya as an example of an introvert? Maybe just tell people that to become a popular introvert it’s best to be a very pretty vivacious extrovert..
Amazing! So many great points and narrated perfectly. Love Hadley’s voice, it’s so calming and confident :)
Listening is the strongest power of us introverts. With talking you only repeat what you already know, only with listening you can observe and learn new things
This was a great viseo, and that final tip, about watching something funny before going out, is actually very helpful! Lately I’ve been doing it from time to time, especially when I’m about to hang out with many people, and it not only helps me relax but it really lifts my mood and I find myself to be much more at ease at the social event itself!
A long time ago, I had some difficulties with talking to people and being in public. But, after I have done some work, I notice great improvements. If you are struggling right now, just know that it is all possible to overcome. Just keep improving yourself. Have a great day everybody!
Surprise guest lecture from the local introvert was great!
Remember, an introvert is not someone who dislikes being with people. An introvert is someone whose ‘social energy’ gets sapped quickly when with others compared to extroverts who gain that energy in the same situation.
As an introvert, you probably find it difficult to get a conversation going or continuing one after meeting someone- either for the first time or even after a long time of being with that person. You may think that you don’t have anything important to say so you ‘save your social energy’ for when you think it matters. The way I get around this is by having some canned conversations ready- this takes work, but having convo starters like how was your day? Or why did you choose the profession you did? Or even, do you have kids? All help to get the other person to talk more than you, thus saving your energy for listening (which you are probably pretty good at). When they ask you questions you can always answer as you wish and then follow up with your own question like ‘how about you?’. This usually gets people talking again (and again saving you energy). Next thing you know you just got through an entire 2hr conversation where you probably just spoke for 20 minutes of it. This isn’t easy, and requires a lot of prep work - run conversations through your mind, look up some popular things to use as convo starters (be honest that you don’t know a lot about a thing- most people love talking about the things they love, all you have to do is prod them to keep going by showing them you are paying attention even when you aren’t).
If this all sounds manipulative, that’s because it is. And that is ok. If this sounds like you, I hope it helps. If you think I’m full of crap, say so (and explain why)!
So glad the algorithm brought this video to my attention! I love this channel, and as an introvert, these are all really great tips. (And great timing, too. I’m going to a party tonight where I don’t know most of the guests, so this is super serendipitous!). Thank you for posting these videos, you’re doing a great job!
I hope it went well :)
I find this channel more unique to other same niche channel because it's breaks down title and explains in detail ❤️
Zendaya's smile is so contagious I love her!
Wow binge watching this channel is really making me confident, time to forget everything in 10 minutes lmao
Literally turns into Zendaya
I am now cured 👍
You know I’ve had a someone disrespect me bc I was quiet and then he started to respect me more by being able to speak up for myself in situations as a quiet person
The handsignals is probably exactly what I need to do
ngl this is my new favourite yt video. Its just so useful and informative and exactly what I need. Thank you so much kind people over at CoC!
An amazing video and love the new voiceover from Hadley!! As an introvert, I deeply resonate with this -- thank you!! The Zendaya example is the best
Hadley killed it with the narration, awesome job!
I'm an introvert, but all of these "tips" are common sense to me. If any of the "tips" here were eye opening, you may want to look in to whether you have Asperger's Syndrome. For example, my new college girlfriend had it, and didnt disclose it at first. She said she'd be at my house at 8pm, and when she knocked on my apartment door at 8:05, I answered and said with a flirty smile "I thought you'd be here at 8:00." She apologized profusely. She was extremely smart at school, but couldnt pickup on social cues or flirtation. She later told me about her Asperger's.
#2 is huge with impatient listeners. ❤
I think we all know the best way to do this is to be good looking
More videos from Hadley! Love this
Step #0: Be attractive
I've used the finger pointer when talking to someone who kept interrupting me, and he accused me of treating him like a child. Apart from that, this is advice I've never heard before. Thanks.
0:29 Serotonin and oxytocin are the hormones during social interactions that get drained.
These can be replenished by having internal positive self-speak and as well having good solid achievable short-term goals that support your long-term goals goals. Then reflect upon your successes. This will continuously recharge your hormones of serotonin and oxytocin.
I hope this information helps as it has me :-)
I swear the social battery sign "triggered" me. It makes me think of those moments at parties where I find a chair in a quiet corner and hope nobody talks to me. The worst case of depleted social battery i ever had was when i was working as a front desk attendant in a hotel. At the end of one shift, i was practically slurring, it was as if i could not remember simple words.
Hadley has a fantastic voice
I'm a huge introvert, but I do generously laugh and prefer laughter as a default. I guess I realize now that subconsciously it's my way of making people feel at ease with my own unease. I think it comes from being an entertainer, and I know how it feels to put yourself out without feedback. Whenever I'm around a room of other introverts, I end up being the guy that has to hold court. In general, I think this all comes from a longing to make everyone feel comfortable. I also notice that the less I talk, the more people give me attention when I do have something to say.
Hadley, loving the voice!
Here’s an idea (I don’t think you’ve this done yet)
Could you do a video on how to carry a stronger presence?? Like you know how some people can walk into a room and without any words you can almost feel the weight of their presence?
Idk it’s something about people with laser sharp focus and charisma that does this but I’ll let you do what you do best lol
That pointer bout to change my life 🥹
0:46 to 1,01. 2:26 to 4,00. Also, use hand signals and talk through a smile.
Thank you for this! Definitely gonna keep these tips in mind.
Please make a video about Austin Butler. He's a great example of an introvert winning people over without draining his energy. He's always true to his nature but captivates audiences with storytelling and personality techniques.
Such great actionable and AUTHENTIC(!!!!) tips
"self proclaimed". charming introvert is a thing that sells well and almost doesn't exist in real life.
It’s literally me
OML FINALLY A ZENDAYA VIDEO!
Need a video on each House of the Dragon players. Your original GOT vids were gold.
The Pause Finger is really effective - I definitely had a phase where I mostly used it for dramatic pauses right before my punch lines for jokes! :D
Where was this video 5 years ago when i needed it
front load enthusiasm (entrances & intros), use hand pointer signals, talk with a smile, laugh easily
Smiling and laughing is so much work 😂
3:51 that's literally how moods work in the sims 4. so the trick for social success is treating real life like the sims?
Can you make something for People with ADHD or ADD. It would really help
It was today that I realized that it's okay to be an introvert 😭✨
Dat finger trick though. Going to try using that more often! 😬😬😬
Here for the woman voice over ! LOVE IT 🙌🏽❤️
That's really helpfull tysm❤❤🙌🏻
really good tips! thanks
im interested in this charisma school, does hadley teach any classes in particular? really great and id love to hear more!
I can attest to these working. I naturally exhibit these qualities from since I was a child. The fact that I always thought they weren't normal to suit my friends made me become awkward in my 20s. But they apparently love me for all these. So in my 30s now I am slowly shaking off my awkward 20s.
Your videos are great and really helpfull. :) But If you would slow down the pacing a bit it would be excellent! Thanks again for your hard work!!
I am going to die from embaressment if I listen to any of these. I'll just be myself, be quiet until I'm needed, thanks.
I got nowhere being like that :( The day I started accepting social "mistakes" and awkwardness, I learned from every encounter and got better! Welcome the embarrassment! You got it
@@jonathan99097 I did tried it you know, and these moments sit with me all the time, and I regret all of these attempts of being outgoing when I embaressed myself. I met and befriended people just by being myself, and they stabbed me in the back. I'd rather be alone than pile up more painful memories.
Great job, Hadley!
new voice is fire
thank you
Such helpful tips!! Thanks!
Therapists should start using this program in tandem with their own program for recovery. Knowing better ways of connecting with human beings has been just as healing for my PTSD as the therapy.
People who spend time with me one on one always comment that they like how low key and easy my company is.
Wild to see Charlie backing off, even though hes been planning that for awhile
Many thanks for these great videos!
I'm an introvert. It's okay. You can still have success when competing against extroverts. When I am placed in that position, my confidence and knowledge shines thru. It appears as if I am an extrovert, when I am most definitely not. I'm glad I don't have to keep it going 24/7, yet when I need it, I have a treasure trove of confidence stored away for these important and opportune moments.
And confidence should NOT be lacking in anyone - regardless of being an introvert or extrovert. That's the most powerful way to level the playing field in every situation. All are unique. All have amazing skills, knowledge or abilities. Know it. Be yourself, yet know that there isn't a situation that cannot be conquered because it is the truth. 😉
@@thebigchief6870 thats a big lie , Extroverts are at a serious advantage. I am ashamed to have ever been an introvert . Its my biggest flaw in life that has cost me dearly
I love Mila's authenticity barometer 😆 "I wasn't that funny!" 😆
Thanks for the index finger thing. I'll try that next time.
Yeah, I would be careful with that as a gesture - depending on your demeanor and tone it can come across as aggressive or arrogant.
Politicians stopped pointing their fingers decades ago and now do this weird hand is pointing, but the index finger is
Restrained, almost like a single claw.
I love your voice! Nice video
So no doubt, these are some good tips. In Zendaya's case though, it doesn't hurt to be absolutely gorgeous to get people to pay attention to you.
Never fake a laugh. Looking at you, Jimmy Fallon and James Corden.
Growing the CoC team I see 😎
So the number one lesson is: be Zendaya
I'm fine with that 👌
reqwest - do vidio about how to interact with aspies
make sure its not about how to protect yourself from an aspie but about understanding them
I'm an INFJ personality type shy but not shy at the same time i always had the ability to make people laugh some people think I'm Hilarious
Laughing a lot is a slippery slope. I’ve seen a lot of people do that and i lose trust. Laughing and smiling is good but a lot makes one feel like a buffoon. Overall, good adoptable pointers :-)
