In elementary school and high school where I was basically a complete loner.

I didn't have a lot of friends.

I wasn't popular.

But throughout this time, I was really trying to adapt and become more likable and I became really good at small talk.

But the downside to being good at small talk is that the conversation doesn't go any deeper.

And in fact, people only see you as a stranger, even though you may be talking to them for years on end.

But it seems like no one's ever more interested or more invested in what you have to say or who you are.

Because I was so focused on staying likable.

I was so focused on staying surface level.

people and to get people to open up

and to get people to fully trust you

and see you that's why in this video i'm going to be sharing with you how to have deeper connections

and be a better conversationalist through deeper conversation no matter how

different the person you're talking to these tips are going to

help you literally connect with anyone here are all the video chapters

and you can find the video chapters in the description below and if you are someone who is ready to do

I provide worksheets for every single one of my videos.

In these worksheets, you'll find in -depth journaling prompts as well as practical exercises to help you start removing your limiting beliefs

and to write down an action plan so you can start living out as your highest self today.

You can access these worksheets down in the description below.

Now let's dive right into the video.

The first thing is to show your initial appreciation.

So when you're meeting someone for the first time or if you vaguely know them or if you're very close with them.

Show your appreciation that you're excited to see them, that you're genuinely happy and lit up.

And how you can see this is the change in your facial expression.

So if you are saying, I'm so happy to see you.

No, you don't actually mean that.

But if you were to smile, not only with your mouth,

but with your eyes and showing that your face is lighting up the moment presence is making her happy.

My presence is important to her.

We all want to feel important around other people.

When you're meeting the person for the first time, I also highly recommend that you say something like, wow, I've heard such amazing things about you, or it's so nice to finally see you.

It's so nice to finally get to meet you.

I've been looking forward to this all week.

And find some way to show your appreciation for this person's time when we're complimenting

we tend to get very carried away around, "Oh, we can only compliment someone based on their looks or based on what they're wearing." Again,

this is back to the surface level aspect of getting to know people.

But appreciation is about appreciating people's presence.

their mind, their values, their intellect.

And when you compliment someone beyond what the eyes see, but where the heart feels, where the mind is stimulated,

these are real indications of someone's value that is beyond the surface level.

So find some ways to show that appreciation for that person and especially complimenting someone's mind.

I mean, who doesn't love that?

The second level conversation as an opportunity to go a level deeper.

Navigate the conversation to the question, what does that make you feel?

There's an emotional resonance that is in the deep part of themselves.

So you don't want to ask the question verbatim, like how does that make you feel?

But some examples could be what experience made you choose this decision?

Or what did you learn from this experience?

You want to see people like an onion and how you unravel an onion is that you go layer by layer.

You peel the onion and slowly it reveals its core to you.

But if you want to go straight to the core and you cut it with a knife, that's incredibly invasive and I don't think that onion is going to be very happy.

When you are meeting someone for the first time, obviously you don't want a trauma dump and ask them very revealing questions off the bat.

It's supposed to come very naturally.

You're not supposed to go from level one to level 16 right from one question.

But it's because people take time to gain the sense of safety around you.

If you're in a conversation with somebody and you're asking, oh, what do you do?

And he says, oh, I'm a lawyer.

And then this can be an opportunity for you to go a level deeper.

So what you can ask is, was there a specific experience that you went through

that made you choose to become a lawyer? and simply from asking

that question helps you unlock a deeper layer of that person.

It forces that person to really sit in presence

and think about their answer and it really is about approaching the depth within themselves.

The reason why people are afraid of asking deeper questions

or getting into deeper conversations is not because they're afraid of making the other person

they themselves are not comfortable with that depth.

The deeper you can get with yourself, you are able to connect with people on that same depth and frequency.

You notice how I gained your trust immediately by opening up about my past in the beginning of this video.

And it's because being vulnerable is what instills trust and it's also what instills trust safety.

And that's not to say that people don't get uncomfortable, right?

Sometimes I get into conversations and sometimes I do get a little deep

and people get a little afraid and they're like, oh.

Even though it makes people uncomfortable, at least you were brave enough to put yourself out there and put yourself in this place of vulnerability.

But sometimes that initiation comes and starts with you, which I know is a little scary because like I said,

if people don't can you imagine

if you never tried going there ever you stay with surface

level topics like how's your day how's the weather you'll find

that the relationships

that you build through these surface level conversations people are going to treat you like a stranger even

if you've known them for several years and it's just

because you lacked the bravery to seek out deeper layers in your went so deep within myself.

That was the year where I became more spiritual.

That was the year where I became more reflective.

I journaled a lot more.

I read more self -development books, spiritual texts.

I became so much more interested in my own internal reality.

And I started to have more of these conversations with my everyday friends.

I've also experienced a development in my existing friendships where the more that I opened up about this stuff,

one, it also encouraged reality and start to seek more answers through spirituality, self -development.

But two, I realized that some of my friendships were already invested in this line of study

and it made those relationships so much stronger for me

and I became so much closer with them because I was also able to resonate and connect with their depth too.

And vulnerability starts with you.

It really does

word of vulnerability is far greater than staying at the surface

level realm of talking about the weather the next tip is to repeat back the words

that really stood out to you so have you ever read a piece of text

or a textbook and you see this long paragraph

100

but there may be a statement or a word that is bolded

101

so in conversation if you want to have more meaningful conversations and you want

102

have to do is repeat back the same words.

103

Because repeating those words actually add rhythm to the conversation.

104

So for example, if someone was opening up about their childhood and said, you know, I was very isolated and alone growing up.

105

And then what you can say is isolated and alone.

106

And then they're going to say, yeah, yeah, I felt that no one really understood me.

107

And I felt like I was just constantly fending for myself and trying to survive.

108

And just by simply repeating the words that stood out to you, right, enables them to kind of keep going with their train of thought.

109

This is also a tip that a lot of therapists use as well.

110

Just by simply repeating the same way

111

that their clients talk about their problems actually helps the client connect more with their therapist.

112

It also makes people feel seen if you are repeating something that the person has said verbatim, maybe just a couple words,

113

maybe a few sentences, but it helps people feel completely understood

114

and seen and how often do we get that feeling from a stranger

115

or how often do we get that feeling from anyone in general

116

and it's because the truth is we don't come across

117

that many people that make us feel seen

118

and understood that's why this tool which is so simple is

119

so effective so I highly recommend that you try this as soon as you can

120

because you'll be very surprised to see where this will take you The next thing is to advocate for people's past.

121

If your friend is going through a breakup, the last thing she wants to hear is, I never liked him anyways, he was such a loser.

122

Because you're also saying that she has judgment issues

123

and she's not able to make good decisions and you're essentially just calling her stupid.

124

So it invalidates her past decisions.

125

Maybe you are right.

126

Maybe he wasn't the greatest guy.

127

Maybe he did terrible things.

128

truly be a good conversationalist as well as someone who really is a safe person to be around is

129

that you can advocate for why she did the best

130

that she could given the circumstances or the knowledge or the wisdom

131

that she had and you can say things like I totally understand why you stayed in

132

that relationship longer than you should have and it's not your fault because you had such a

133

just wanted some sort of safety.

134

Your inner child was just looking for a place to call home

135

but I'm so glad that you realize that you're worth more than how you were being treated in that relationship.

136

Empathize with them around why they did that and how you can help them see past the anger,

137

the shame, and start showing them how they can empathize with their inner child

138

and how to show more support and that starts with you showing that empathy for that person.

139

I being emotional and that there is strength in being empathetic

140

because people who are empathetic are usually those that tend to be great conversationalists.

141

and they tend to be people that connect with people quite easily, and they're able to be that person that everyone wants to be around.

142

I know that some people tend to be like, "I'm way too empathetic, I shouldn't be like this,

143

I'm too nice," but being emotional and being empathetic is actually an incredible superpower.

144

The very last tip is to simply pause.

145

Sometimes you may not necessarily always need to talk.

146

And when you're in a meaningful conversation, the pace is slow.

147

On social media, if you are someone who naturally likes to swipe on TikTok and Instagram, you often see that a lot of videos are very quick, you know, quick cuts.

148

Any pause, any sort of breath just gets taken out.

149

And the more that you watch these videos,

150

the more you have this inclination of assuming is fast, right?

151

You want to get your message across quick.

152

You want to be able to captivate people.

153

But having meaningful, deep conversations is the complete opposite because it's all about presence and slowness even,

154

but it's really about being there with the person.

155

And if that person is sharing a story, as we've talked about before, but also really gathering their emotions, you're

156

better immediately but just pause give them space to experience what it is

157

that they need to experience and stop trying to fix the sadness Stop trying to convince them, "Oh no no no no, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry." Just be there.

158

Just...

159

Stay there because you being present with them is already a hug.

160

You being there for them is already enough.

161

Silence is natural in a conversation, especially when you wanna build a deeper relationship with a person.

162

Silence is actually necessary.

163

It gives people an opportunity to breathe.

164

It gives people an opportunity to think about what you just said.

165

And it also gives people the opportunity to ask questions back to you.

166

People are not going to necessarily remember

167

in a conversation but people will always remember how you made them feel pausing is

168

so important don't be afraid of it because there's no need to be afraid of silence

169

It is a very beautiful way for people to just dissect

170

and really allow your ideas and thoughts to seep into their body.

171

And that is what makes you memorable.

172

Now, we've reached the end of this video.

173

This video is a little calmer than usual because it is currently 11 p .m right now,

174

but I'm still rallying because I just felt really connected to share this topic.

175

I find that a lot of people nowadays are becoming more and more distant.

176

and social anxiety is such a common thing now.

177

But if you implement these tools and just be brave enough to put yourself out there to have these vulnerable conversations, you'll be able to experience less loneliness

178

and just feel more empowered to make brand new friendships that match your level of depth.

179

And if you don't think you have depth, think again.

180

The fact that you even clicked into this video

181

because you wanted to have more meaningful conversations shows that you already have that depth within you.

182

So don't be intimidated by it, but instead lean into it because there are so many people

183

that are so ready and so excited to have deeper conversations with you.

189

190

I love and appreciate you so much.

191

Thank you so much for tuning in all the way to the end.

192

It's good night for me, but I hope to see you in the next video.

193

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
