how to talk to random people like you’ve been friends forever so you never run out of things to say
237 segments
So, right now, I'm going to give you all
the tips and tricks. Really, only the
only thing you need to talk to any
random person as if you've already been
knowing them for several years, so you
don't look awkward and you can actually
have things to say in conversation. Now,
right now, I'm going to explain to you
something weirdly relatable that you're
probably going to relate to a lot. So, I
remember when I was in middle school,
high school, I had a hard time meeting
new people because I had no idea what to
say. Whenever I would be paired up with
a random partner in high school, I would
get this anxiety. My mind would freeze.
I wouldn't know what to say. Um, I would
think that this person wasn't like me
whatsoever. And because of this, this
allowed me to become quiet and not say
much to them. And I would therefore lose
the opportunity to talk to them. And
this is what happened to lots of people
that I met. But the weird thing about it
is that after school, I would get on to
Call of Duty. I would get on to I would
get on to the Xbox, Halo, I would get on
to sandbox games, right? And I would
join my parties, you know. I would get
on. I would message all my Xbox friends.
Get on. We're going to play a game.
We're going to play um we're going to
play uh uh zombies. We're going to play
um what's it called? Um Team Slayer,
right, for Halo. And I would be the most
social guy ever. And I'm talking about I
would talk for hours. I would yell. I
would scream, you know, I'd be like,
"Oh, this guy right here, back me up,
bro." And everything. And
when I realized that I was doing that,
I'm just like, wait, why can I talk to
these people as like I'm the most
extroverted guy ever, but I can't even
talk to people in my own school and have
friends? And so this was a moment when I
realized that I need to start finding
ways on how to actually talk to people
and like actually talk to people as if I
already knew them for a long time. like
my friends on Xbox or my close friends I
had I had already known on for years
because I looked at so many people
around me and everybody else seemed to
make friends so easy but I couldn't and
so today in this video I'm going to
share with you really the only thing the
only idea that you need and I started
doing this and literally it's 10 times
easier to talk to people now um
literally I'm going to give away the
secret but it's so easy to talk to
people now I feels like I have a
connection with most people that I talk
to and small talk in general when
meeting strangers it's so easy and it
only gets little complicated towards you
know when you grow a deeper relationship
with them but here's the over here's the
overall idea that nobody is really
talking about on the internet so the
overall main idea right is
getting into things and knowing things
that most people already know about it
sounds super confusing right but I'm
going to tell you this so
there's There's lots of things and
there's lots of limiting beliefs on why
we feel like we're different than most
people. But it really just comes down to
having the same hobbies, having the same
likes, and having a similar thing going
on in your life to that other person
that's going to make you connect and
actually going to give you things to say
about in conversation. Now, I'm going to
tell you how this has changed my life.
And this is the crazy example you're
going to hear, right? So, I have a
15-year-old little brother. So, he's a
decent amount. He's he's a lot younger
than me. And so, long story short, most
of our lives, we've never really talked
much. Not we don't really have similar
interests, not not a lot of common
things going on. But that all changed
when I decided that I wanted to get into
politics. I realized the world is crazy.
I need to start becoming more aware of
what's going on. And so I decided to
learn a crap and a freak ton about
politics. So I'm watching all these
videos. I'm learning about what's going
on. I'm learning about democracy and
everything in our country in the USA.
And so
randomly I come in and I'm just like,
"Bro, you see what's going on?" And he's
just like, "Yeah, it's crazy." And he's
like, "Wait, have you been getting into
politics?" And I'm like, "Bro, I have."
And in that moment we started talking
about politics, you know, we started
talking about all this stuff, all the
stuff that I recently learned. And
because of that, from that day, we talk
about our politics all the time. And me
and my little brother have become a lot
closer since then. And it all started
just from one topic that I got into. And
the reason why I'm telling you this is
because
one topic, getting into one topic can
change the way that you talk to people
and it can change the way that people
see you. Now, the best thing that you
can do right now is to find topics that
most people are into. So, look at your
school, look at your your environment,
your city. When you're meeting these
people and these random people, what are
most people talking about? Most likely,
it's sports. Sports is a big one.
Politics,
music,
fashion, trends going on in social
media. If I were to pick two, it'
probably sports. Um, things going on in
media and politics. Those are really big
ones. And here's the thing, you might be
thinking like, wait, wait, wait. I I'm
not really into sports, you know, I
don't really like these certain things.
But let me tell you something. First of
all, you don't have to learn I'm not
saying to learn every single thing about
a subject you don't want to know about.
Definitely don't do that. You should
choose things that you want to learn
about because you like them. But here's
the thing. You just need to know a
little bit and you need to show your
interest in learning things. Because
here's a story that changed me, right?
I was at my house and a couple of my
roommates started talking about politics
and you know I like politics so I
started getting in with them. One of my
roommates
wasn't really well informed of politics
and we asked this roommate we're just
like yo bro what do you think about what
do you think the left side doing this?
What do you think about this right side
article? What do you think about the the
centralists the libertarians? And he was
just like honestly bro I don't really
know what that means.
And we were just like, "Wait, wait,
wait. What do you mean?" And he was just
like, "Honestly, bro, I don't I don't
really care about that stuff."
And then one of my roommates was like,
"You don't care.
You should be caring about what's going
on in your country. You should be caring
about what's going on in the world. The
country that you live in is literally
going through all this." And my roommate
was just like, "Nah, bro. I don't I
could care less. I'm not really into
that." And the reason why I'm telling
you this is because that night, me
included and my roommates, we're just
like, "Wait, this guy, he kind of
doesn't want to know about things that
we're into. You know, he doesn't want to
learn about something important." And
so, the reason why I'm telling you this
is because it is extremely important
that you learn things because when
people see that you're not into a
certain thing and you're not learning a
bunch of things and you don't have a
specific thing to talk about, they're
going to be like, "Oh, you know, this
guy, he's not really into the things."
is, you know, I'm going to create that
barrier.
When people see that you're not really
wanting to learn and you don't really
have a thing to talk about or you're
known for talking about, people are
going to be like, "Oh, wait. We don't
really have a common interest." And so,
it's very important that you showcase
that you know about certain things
and that you show that you're you're
into certain things and you're eager to
learn because those are one of the most
important things. So, for example,
sports is a big one. I talk about
football, uh, European football all the
time. I'm getting into American sports,
but if you want to get into sports, if
you want to get into politics, trends on
social media, definitely start doing
those. It's really the best thing to do
because
there's always something going on in
sports, politics, media, there's always
something new going on. And every single
week, you can literally be like, "Yo,
bro, did you see this new thing? You see
what this guy posted? Did you see the do
you see the uh the results? Do you see
the new lineups?" You know, there's so
many things going on and because there's
new things going on with these topics,
you can constantly repeat them and bring
them up every single time in
conversation. So, that's the only idea
that you need for this. It's really down
to liking, having the same hobbies that
most people are into. Like, share,
subscribe, and I will see you in the
next one. Peace.
