nothanks1 07/29/21 4:00:26 PM #1:	99% are insecure and just want to be heard Faking an interest in them and particularly asking about things they mentioned is good. you should concentrate on things they seem shocked you remembered. These are the interests or events in their lives that they don't expect people to care about but want people to care about If you intend to concentrate on a few people constantly it is a good idea to record the conversations and play it back later to take notes on what to focus on. You can then compare these notes as you have more and more conversations to figure out what makes the person tick. Your goal should be for them to think they've found someone that understands them. It doesn't need to be deep. But something like them getting to tell you about their interest in Thai knitting patterns means they'll associate you with the joy they feel meaning they think about you without realising it which increases the value of you to them <cite>nothanks1 posted [p:956583777] in Pro-tip on...

Also he was really nice to me in the interview and somehow didn't trigger my social anxiety and im just trying to chase that high again Its always nerve wracking to talk to someone new that youre not familiar with; your saving grace can literally only be the only subjects you touched upon. It wouldnt be weird to bring it up to someone something about video games as long as you recognize that they may not play the same ones.. so you start off about what kind of video games via hey, this may sound weird but what video games do you play? (pro-tip: its not going to sound weird, but at least you got the side of you bugging you thats weird out the way) or something of the sort. Some people also try to make it weird, like if you had asked me I wouldnt care Id appreciate it and enjoy a good conversation on the subject of It doesnt have to be a smooth transition, I know plenty of people who just interject and while thats not my style, I can appreciate that as well and segue into that instead since, you know, its video games >_> Maybe ask for recs? You can literally go anywhere and chances are its gonna be alright.
