Heyy😛
I'm an ambivert. Hi.
Hi😄
After watching this I started a conversation with an stranger and he is still taking to me, now I am searching for how to stop the conversation😅😂
Btw nice question. The end is always remembered weather its good or bad. Things happned before doesn't matter if you have f ed up in end. Lol

1. Just do it 2. Skip small talk, ask personal questions 3. There is no room for negativity, instead find the things in common 4. Give a honest unique compliment 5. Ask for a simple opinion 6. Be present, eye-contact 7. Remember their details (Name/place ...)
Appreciate it !

I was a very social child, I was pretty popular at school too because I could easily hold a conversation with anyone and got along with everyone. As I got older I sort of lost that social ability. I'm not anti social, I can talk to people. Indeed I find it easier talking to strangers than some family members! But I'm working on getting my old social skills back and thankfully I succeeded. How? The only way I can explain it is: Learn not to care, learn not to be nervous, learn not to be afraid of silences and just let conversations flow naturally. Humans are social creatures, just let it come naturally. You are what you imagine yourself to be, so imagine yourself as social and talkative.
dude u just opened my eyes, the part where you said you are what you imagine to be really hit me
I have the same story,too!!!! But the difference is that I haven't yet suceeded in getting back that social ability, but ur comment made me feel that I'm not alone, I'm pretty sure, I'll get that back, soon... thnx, man!!
Yep, you are what you imagine yourself to be. Your mind is very powerful, use it to your advantage! you can be whoever you want to be!
it will come, don't worry. Its also important not to blame social awkwardness only on yourself, it could be the other person who has the social issue and not you. It takes two to have a conversation. Your certainly not alone, every single person alive has had social awkwardness in their lives, everyone, from celebrities to politicians, everyone!
Same!!!
I love how she speaks so smooth without any hesitation.Speaking is a SKILL.
its a speech but yea shes good

how to get someone to like you:
@@oneandonlysd5061 be real and always have respect for the one you like whenever you have conversations with them
"remember their details" My ADHD: "Allow me to introduce myself".
That was so good and motivational when se said "what starts with Hello and ends up with marriage proposal."😂☺
Exactly haha
It’s a warning
Her - Eye contact is where all the magic happens. Me - eyes contact is where all the awkwardness starts 😂
True 😂😂
Very true
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
😂😂😂😂
Honestly it’s more awkward when you don’t look someone I’m the eye when you talk to them
What I love about this is that she didn't target an audience with the mindset that they were insufficient in some way to explain their difficulties communicating with strangers. She just focused on teaching how to converse from the perspective of making it better no matter what your background. That demonstrates a high level of emotional intelligence.
Within 15 minutes she solved all the problems I was having in communication, which I spent time watching many youtube videos to be able to improve but couldn't until after watching this video I realized out many things. Thanks you so much!!!
I took the advice and said HI to someone with a huge smile on my face. She got a shock because i said it so loud, then just looked without responding, so i kept smiling as hard as i could and kept staring at her. She said she would call the police
humudu maybe the way you talked with her scared her , because nowadays many terrible things happen and most women don't feel safe
wait... maybe because you didn't smile with the forehead?
now i'm laughing and sad too

Is it weird that I'm more comfortable with talking to strangers than the people I know? I just feel their judgment won't affect me at all and therefore I can be myself around them since there is a very low probability of us meeting again.
meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
OMG I feel the same exact way. Glad to know that I am not alone.
I just say things that I have never say to my friends to someone I met on Internet
Wow I want to develop this skill😂
I can approach strangers and talk to them but I don't know how to approach with acquaintances whom i rarely talk to/didn't have the chance to talk personally, it becomes really awkward
it's not complicate to talk with stranger it's complicate to talk AGAIN with the same stranger🤣
👍
I say the opposite. It's harder to talk to a stranger at first rather than talking to the same stranger again.
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 📚 Conversations are like links that form a World Wide Web connecting us to strangers. They define who we are as a human race. 02:20 🗣️ Starting a conversation with a stranger requires enthusiasm, positivity, and a simple greeting like "Hi" or "Hello." 03:26 💬 Skip small talk and ask personal questions to create a deeper connection with the other person. 06:42 😄 Pay unique and genuine compliments instead of using common words that people have become immune to. 08:47 🤝 Find common ground with the other person to make them feel comfortable and engaged in the conversation. 10:23 🤔 Ask for the other person's opinion on something generic to open up a two-way street of communication. 12:01 👀 Be fully present and make eye contact to establish a deeper connection and show genuine interest in the conversation. 13:01 📝 Remember and use the other person's name and other details about them to show care and investment in the conversation.

Well, that is in fact true, when you happen to be a highly attractive woman.
@@connorfrankston5548 that's what i was thinking: how these techniques would go for other demographics...
Undoubtedly, conversation is a skill through which we can achieve a lot of things and also sometimes it causes an adverse situation. How beautifully she told us about the impacts of conversation.
Things I learnt from this:- 1. Just ask questions what you want. What's the worst thing can happen? 2. Skip small talk and ask personal questions (you will be surprised how much people are willing to share if you ask them) 3. Find the "me too"s 4. Give a compliment (mostly on what thinks they give efforts in for example makeup) 5. Listen to their answers and add your opinion or thoughts about it. 6. Make eye contact (see one eye at a time and move the the other afterwards) 7. After they say their name say their name (for example - hi paul!)
What is Mee too's
@@codeinout9438 That means when someone says something try to relate to it. For example your friend said I hate coffee and you too actually hate it so you say me too! This can help you be likable too as well as it can start another conversation too like your likes, dislikes, etc

she’s absolutely captivating. what a phenomenal TED talk given by a clearly beautiful and kind woman, oozing with charisma from her accent to her hefty and valuable material. genius!
9:31 I came to this video after watching a shorts consisting of this part. And must say, YOU REALLY DID A GREAT JOB BRINGING THIS UP cuz believe me, today, almost everyone gives compliments without even meaning them. We must start to admire people for their real beauties (not just the external beauty but the real beauties too) with complete honesty. Thanks for bringing this up. Really appreciated.
to be able to admire something you have to be able to see it first. to be able to see it, you have to know it. to know it, you have to invest time in it. to invest time in it, you have to know its value for your surroundings. if your surroundings value other things, you will not know it, you will not see it, you will not be able to admire it. thats what the culture is for. thats what goes lost today, especially in western society, where only competition is (over)valued. but this overvalue of competition from surroundings is indoctrination, for that people do not work together because that would make them solve their problems in small circle, and they wouldnt need to buy solutions from someone less known to them. that would be bad for busines. so overrating of competition is actually overrating of money and money system. we are ready to suffer just to stick to this system, where the money system should not be ideologically thing for the sake of itself, but should service people more than it burdens them. competition is a good thing, but like everything else, its best if it has own place and time and doesnt occupy place and time of things, which would fit there better. it is really unlikely, that this problem will be solved anytime soon. so we will have to live with the problem, that there is not so much of real admiration seen, felt, lived. and for that time most people will admire more things, you dont want them to admire, like how you can allow yourself to talk from above to a lot of people, because of your position, or admire your money, you got from other people in this sometimes sensless competition.
her public speaking abilities are amazing. its as if she is talking to you individually in a conversation
Right
yes
Fr
That's exactly what the TEDx organizers teach you, if you want to give a talk.
@@amigalemming their thoughts are amazing! they are really helping us.
I recommend watching through the whole thing, but. 1. First word floodgates (3:33) "Once you've said the first word, everything just flows." 2. Skip the small talk. (5:20) Ask personal questions. Be bold, and you might be surprised how much someone might share. Asking about family might help elicit response. The lady gives a neat tip, and a neat story at (6:27) 3. Me - too's (7:34) Don't start with negatives. Start the conversation on the same side. 4. Pay a unique compliment. (8:45) Someone may forget what you say or how you look, but they would never forget how you made them feel. There are words and compliments that people are immune to. Avoid them and pay a genuine, unique compliment. 5. Ask for an opinion. (10:19) Ask generic questions like "what's your last movie and how did you find it?" instead of "what do you think about how this affects the oil prices?" That is the difference between generic conversations and exam questions. And when someone gives you an opinion, really listen; listen to listen, don't listen to reply. 6. Be present. (11:40) Don't look at your phone etc. Make eye contact. You literally feel the conversation. 7. Name, place, animal, thing (12:42) Remember their name. It's really important. Say it back to them. Places they want to go to. Their pets names, their children's names.
Thank you for this-- I needed a summary
Thank you for the summary!
Thanks for the summary! Now I don't really have to watch the video haha

You're the hero that KZhead needs.
I really liked this ted talk. Her speech , her body language , the way she was smiling , the way she was doing hand gestures and her simplicity in explaining the whole topic and little humor in between. One of the best Ted talks. ❤
Seven ways : 1. First Flood Gate - Start with smile and 'Hello' 2. Skip Small talk - Try to talk about personal things 3.Find me-toos - Common thing 4. A compliment - People always remember how you make them feel 5. Ask for Opinion or Suggestions 6. Attention - Be present in conversation 7. Name, place, animal - Remember Name their place With these ways you can have a beautiful conversation with people sitting beside you, behind you or walking along with you❤

Wonderful tips, thanks a ton. And I will definitely use them, it is much appreciated from an introvert person like me. Thanks!! 1. The first word flood gates 2. Skip the small talk 3. Find the me too 4. Pay an unique compliment 5. Ask for an opinion 6. Be present 7. Name, place animal thing
how do i proceed after she says "i have a boyfriend" ?
damarh walk to the next one
thats really awful, but i think thats a good reason forma not to go ahead with that person, i think that means she lets her boyfrien to control her or that she is egocentric

Thats no indian accent you should listen what they actually sound like, this is a normal and 100 times better accent plus nobody that i have seen is being racist infact everyone is saying she is soo hot, she is sexy, she looks cute etc etc.

She is proof of what she preaches. When she first comes on stage, I thought her pretty but her bubbly personality came out, and the longer she spoke the more attractive she becomes. Not surprised at the taxi driver"s proposal.
Man you are just nailed it. Had the same note.
was going to write the exact same comment
my point exactly
Bubbly personality? I would love to see how she respond to someone who she runs into who is really boring and always complains and tells the same story over and over again. I would love to know how she would handle that business. The more attractive and wealthy you become, the harder it gets to have a deep conversation with everybody.
Absolutely right, th more she engages with u th more u like her 🥰
“Conversation can make war ,conversation can make peace “ This line ♥️♥️
Her tips on finding common ground and giving real compliments totally make sense. It's a cool reminder to be positive and curious in every convo.
So,the conclusion is we should quite 😜
After watching this talk, I have looked at myself and discovered something about myself. I am good at making conversations with strangers. But, when it comes to seeking help or asking for an opportunity, I act like mute. All of sudden, my super introverted nature kicks in. I start thinking, how they will react! I guess, now I know how to overcome that. Thanks Malavika ❤
same problem is with me
that too easily
It's been 18yrs since I am here on earth ......through all these years what I have learnt is that quality matters more than quantity ......a one true friend is greater than a trillion frnds for name sake .......so focus on being truthful to your existing ones rather than making new ones
When you have 0 existing ones 😔
I can't even have a decent conversation with myself!
HAHAHA!! I feel you, man.
It's hard, maybe ask better questions or try mediation to quieten your mind
hahahaha, funny
all of us can have a conversation with ourselves. but when ourselves start the conversation we escape by doing any thing or talking with people , because we did`t have enough bravery to face ourselves!
+liffeyb im liking that .

How to establish connections with people through conversation (not necessarily just with strangers): 1. Dare to begin, dare to say the first words 2. Skip small talks, focus on what's really interesting 3. Draw on the common ground 4. Make genuine unique compliments 5. Get people to share what they think about something, listen to listen 6. Don't multitask, be there, be in the conversation 7. Remember what you two talked about **1st big takeaway: "people can forget what you say, what you do, but they will never forget how you make them feel" **2nd big takeaway: look at them in the eye **3rd big takeaway: every person is a really good book, you just have to figure out which to read next instead of only skimming the titles

My problem with conversations is that I just don't care about other people. I don't ask personal questions because I generally don't care what the answer is. It feels dishonest to put it on.
SecxyBear I know right! Doing small talks to avoid awkward silences just isn't for me.
if you don't care about other people why talk to them in the first place? In fact, why are you even watching the video
I like talking to others and I care about people. I just don't give a shit about small talk or irrelevant personal things.

1. Hi 2. Ask personal question 3. Me-toos 4. Compliment 5. Ask for opinion 6. Full heartedly present 7. Remember their details
The awkward part is step 2, where she is suggesting you just ask people random questions. Do you like lizards!?!??! What's your favorite color??? Dogs or cats? What's your deepest life goal??! That just seems so childish to me. And awkward that they are just fishing for some kind of connection, it's borderline obsessive. Especially if this conversation is happening at the water cooler or printer. There are special situations where interviewing someone is not awkward, but not every day.
You care too much about "awkward". Every new conversation with a stranger is awkward, embrace it.

We should appreciate her the way she delivered such a motivational speech so eloquently and flawlessly with great sense of humour..
Humans are naturally social: we've spent thousands and thousands of years becoming good at making connections. If you, like me, are nervous to talk to someone, and you're nervous that you're not going to do it "right" remember, we evolved just for this! It's in our bones. Overthinking and being tense is what makes it so hard, under that, it's instinctual
It's surprising how nobody is saying anything about how cute she speaks
And looks
She's indian barbie. But honestly at least the first few minutes I think she's talking to an empty room.
Exactly! She was enthusiastic and energetic and actually that looks so cute!! Idk why so many people got bored from that

Slimecrazy234 These comments are funny, but really that doesn't make any sense. On the other hand, it's often harder to talk to an attractive person without being nervous.
That's true, it's easier to start a conversation if you are good looking on the outside.
More likely, is that you tried hard to accomplished something from a talk with an attractive person yet you failed . then it is useless to do so, try talking to a nice yet unattractive . yet i'm too young for this 13 yrs old .
It may be easier for if you're attractive, but the other person can be very nervous.
these are just excuses. and real men dont need no damn excuses. just build a lot of confidence! hang out with some nice friends, exercise at the least 15 m a day..try to talk with everyone you know! also for all men having problems, i'd recommend checking out alpha.m
As a pretty lonely person who’s wanted to befriend people but can’t get the courage to walk up someone and start a conversation I’ll use the tips and just hearing the examples makes me feel slightly more confident.
"A conversation is an adventure." More like an anxiety-riddled obstacle course.. hence why I am here lol.
My thoughts exactly. Talking to strangers is more like a sweaty, panic rising and possible bad outcome for an introvert specially.
Small talk is like kryptonite. #IntrovertProblems

ohh :o
welcome to india
I agree, but u are more beautiful, i guess :)
Zulqarnain sorry? How could you say that or predict that?😉
You are not fascinated from her inner beauty - she did her hair, she doesn't have the indian nose, you probably liked her partial awkwardnes and so on.. What I'm trying to say is that if you are not aware of how judgemental you are naturaly, then you need to investigate the subject.
Unique information in one lesson. It's amazing!It feels great, it's blown my mind.
