I was at a coffee shop the other day,

waiting on my order, and I looked around and realized that every single person in the place was on their phone.

Every one of them.

The guy at the table by the window, the two girls sitting across from each other, the dude in line behind me,

and even the barista were either on their phone or had their AirPods in.

Nobody was looking at each other, nobody was present in the room that they were physically standing in,

and weirdly enough, the coffee shop was completely silent.

And it hit me that this is just how we exist now.

We occupy the same spaces as other people, but we aren't really there.

We're somewhere else entirely, living in the little screen in our hands while the real world happens around us.

And I think that this is why so many of us have lost our social skills.

We don't practice them anymore because we don't need to.

Every moment of boredom or discomfort

that used to force us to engage with the people around us now gets filled with scrolling.

Standing in line?

Phone waiting for a friend?

Phone.

Sitting in a waiting room?

Phone.

We've eliminated every single opportunity to interact with strangers, and then we wonder why talking to strangers feels so terrifying.

My whole life, up until college, I'd always had a fear of heights.

But one day, my friends wanted to go to a theme park,

and I didn't want to be the guy sitting on the bench holding everyone's bags like a grandma, so I got on a roller coaster.

And it was the first big roller coaster that I'd ever been on.

And I have to say, the first one was terrible.

My hands were extremely sweaty in line and I genuinely thought about bailing at least three or four times, but I did it.

And then, weirdly enough, I wanted to go again.

And the second time was still bad, but a little less bad.

And the third time was a little less bad than that.

And by the end of the day, my fear of heights wasn't cured, it didn't just disappear, but it got significantly better.

The physical reaction calmed down, the anxiety before the ride was shorter, and I could actually enjoy it.

It's still, to this day, not 100 % gone, and I still get uneasy going up to the top of a roller coaster,

but my fear got significantly better because I forced myself to do the thing

that scared me over and over again until my brain stopped treating it like a death sentence.

And a lot of us have social anxiety, but talking to people works the exact same way.

The reason it feels so hard is because we don't do it enough anymore.

Our brains treat it like a threat because it's unfamiliar and the less we do it, the more unfamiliar it becomes.

But if you start putting yourself in more social situations, even small ones, that anxiety starts to fade.

The first conversation with a stranger might feel like that first rollercoaster did for me, but the 20th, you won't even think about it.

The problem is, most of us aren't even getting on that ride to begin with.

I've been living in my city for about three years now

and my girlfriend

and I were talking the other night about how we haven't made a single new friend since we moved here.

Sure, we've met people, we've had surface -level conversations, but we haven't actually connected with anyone.

We go to the gym dozens of times per month and never said anything to people beyond pleasantries.

We would go out to eat and wouldn't talk to anyone around us.

We would attend events and didn't get people's names, and when we did, we never followed up, and honestly, I would probably forget it.

We were doing all of the things that put us in proximity to other humans, but we weren't actually engaging with any of them.

And then I had the audacity to bring up about how I haven't been able to make any new friends.

When I really sat with that, I realized that the issue isn't that people are unfriendly or that making friends is impossible.

The issue is that we've forgotten how to talk to each other.

When was the last time

that you went out of your way to have a longer than five second conversation with someone that you didn't already know?

Not a how's your day while you're both clearly in a rush, but an actual conversation where you slowed down and genuinely talked to someone.

For most of us, it's been way too long.

That realization reminded me of a book that I read back in college called How to Talk to Anyone by Lael Laundis.

I probably butchered that name, so Lael, if you're watching this, I apologize.

But it's one of those books that I remember thinking had some really practical ideas,

but I never actually put any of them into practice because I was 20 and that is lame.

But now, sitting here with not many local friends and a growing awareness that I'm the one who needs to change,

it felt like the right time to revisit it.

And honestly, going back through it as an adult hit different.

The stuff in this book is practical in a way that most social skills advice isn't,

and today I want to walk you through the things from it

that have actually changed the way I interact with other people.

Because the video is called How to Talk to Anyone, and I think by the end of it, you might actually believe that you can.

My name is Solace, and I make videos about personal growth

and navigating the chaos of modern life without all the toxic

or AI -generated nonsense that the rest of this space seems to love.

If you get value from this conversation, consider subscribing and checking out the discord in the description, and if you want to read this book,

you can find a link to it in my bookshop which is also in the description.

Now, let's get into it.

The first thing that Loundis talks about in the book, and the thing that stuck with me the most,

is that communication starts before you even open your mouth.

The way you carry yourself, the way you enter a room, the way you look at someone when they're talking to you,

all of this sends signals that people pick up on immediately, often without even realizing it.

And most of us are sending the wrong signals without knowing.

She has this concept called the flooding smile, and it's one of those things that sounds so small but genuinely changes how people perceive you.

When most people see someone they know or someone they want to talk to, they flash this little awkward minivan -driving soccer mom automatic smile.

You know, the one that you give to someone

when you walk past them in the grocery store and don't want to be awkward.

It's instant and it's polite, but it means almost nothing.

It's the social equivalent of a nod.

The person on the receiving end registers it as a formality because that's exactly what it is.

You didn't smile because you were happy to see them, you smiled because that's what you do when you make eye contact with someone.

The flooding smile is different.

Instead of immediately flashing that quick grin, you pause for a second when you see someone.

You look at their face, and then you let a warm, genuine smile slowly spread across yours.

It takes maybe one extra second, but the effect is completely different.

That small delay tells the other person that your smile is a reaction to them specifically, that you saw them, registered who they are,

and then felt happy enough to smile.

It makes people feel important, and it costs you literally nothing.

I've been trying to do this more often, and I feel like there's a notable difference in how people respond.

They light up more, and they're more likely to say something.

It's such a tiny adjustment, but it changes the entire energy of the first two seconds of an interaction.

And that leads into another thing that she talks about, which is what she calls the big baby pivot.

Think about how a baby reacts when they see someone they like.

They don't casually glance over with their arms crossed and half their body turned away.

They turn their entire body toward that person, light up, and give them their complete attention.

100

That's what babies naturally do, and it's incredibly warm and disarming.

101

Adults, to the exact opposite it.

102

We half turn, we keep one foot pointed towards the door, we look out over our shoulder instead of facing someone directly.

103

We check our phones mid -conversation and then wonder why the other person seems disengaged.

104

When someone's talking to you and you turn your full body toward them, square your shoulders, make eye contact, and give them your undivided attention,

105

it communicates something that words can't.

106

It says you matter to me right now, and in a world where everyone is half -present and distracted,

107

that kind of full attention is so rare that it stands out immediately.

108

People will feel it, even if they can't articulate what's different about you versus talking to someone else.

109

They'll just know that it felt good.

110

And that's going to be the core focal point of this video.

111

You need to show that you're interested in other people.

112

If you're going to socialize, do it with full commitment.

113

Don't just half -ass it and hope for the best.

114

There's no point in even doing that, and you're never going to connect with anyone.

115

And these two things alone, the flooding smile and the full -body pivot, have already changed the way that my personal small interactions go.

116

I'm able to treat people like a person instead of a transaction.

117

Eye contact, full attention, and a real smile, it's not that complicated.

118

The author of the book also talks about posture in a way that I find interesting.

119

She calls it hang by your teeth,

120

which is a visualization where you can imagine an invisible wire attached to your jaw pulling you up towards the ceiling.

121

The idea is that when you imagine this, your posture naturally straightens, your head lifts,

122

your shoulders go back, and you carry yourself with a quiet confidence that people respond to.

123

People make snap judgments about your confidence before you say a single word,

124

and something as small as how you hold yourself can make the difference between someone wanting to engage with you

125

and someone deciding to look the other way or ignore you.

126

But Lowndes goes way deeper than just body language and first impressions in this book.

127

The part of the book

128

that I think is most useful for people who struggle with conversation is her idea of being a word detective.

129

This is the concept that completely reframed how I think about talking to people.

130

The idea is simple.

131

When someone's talking to you, they are constantly dropping little clues about their interests, their passions, and the things that they care about.

132

Most of us miss these entirely because we aren't really listening.

133

We hear the words, sure, but we don't process them.

134

We're too busy thinking about what we're going to say next

135

or worrying about whether we look awkward or rehearsing some clever response in our head.

136

But if you actually listen for these clues and then follow up on them,

137

you can take any conversation from surface level to meaningful in about 30 seconds.

138

Here's what I mean.

139

If you ask someone what they do and they say, I'm in marketing, but honestly,

140

I've been spending most of my free time lately trying to learn how to surf.

141

Most people would latch onto the marketing thing because it's the obvious topic, but the clue is in the second half.

142

That's what they actually wanna talk about.

143

That's the thing that lights them up.

144

If you say, oh, that's cool.

145

How long have you been surfing?

146

Instead of, oh, nice, what kind of marketing do you do?

147

You just unlocked a version of that person that most people never see.

148

And when someone gets to talk about the thing they love, they associate that feeling of excitement with you

149

You become the person who let them talk about the thing

150

that they actually care about And that's how you stand out in someone's memory

151

This works in any conversation.

152

If someone says, yeah, it's been a crazy week, I just got back from visiting my sister in Colorado.

153

The clue isn't that they had a crazy week, the clue is Colorado and the sister.

154

Those are the doors that you can walk through.

155

Oh, nice, does she live out there?

156

Do you get to visit often?

157

Suddenly, you're having a real conversation about family and travel instead of a dead -in exchange about someone's busy schedule.

158

The clues are always there, you just have to train yourself to listen for them instead of using the time

159

while they're talking to think about what you're gonna say next.

160

And I'll be honest, this was probably the hardest adjustment for me.

161

I've spent most of my life so focused on not being awkward in conversations

162

that I was barely processing what the other person was saying.

163

I was just waiting for my turn to talk

164

or looking for the next safe topic to bring up so there wouldn't be an awkward silence.

165

But when I actually started listening, like really listening, I realized that people hand you the keys to a great conversation constantly,

166

you just have to take them.

167

Lowndes calls this keeping the swiveling spotlight on the other person.

168

The idea is that most people walk into a conversation with the spotlight on themselves.

169

They're thinking about how they're being perceived, what they should say, how they look, whether the other person likes them.

170

But if you take that spotlight and point it entirely at the other person,

171

if you make them the focus and give them the space to talk about themselves, something interesting happens.

172

They walk away from the conversation feeling great about it and they attribute that feeling to you.

173

You didn't have to be funny or charming or have the perfect story, you just had to be interested.

174

And I know some people are going to say, that's great, but what do I actually say when I walk up to someone?

175

Well, the book covers this too.

176

She has this concept that she calls never the naked city and never the naked job.

177

The idea that when you talk to someone and ask a basic question like, where are you from?

178

Or what do you do?

179

Most people give a bare one word answer, Ohio, marketing.

180

And then the conversation hits a wall because there's nothing for the other person to grab onto.

181

It's a dead end, and now someone has to think of a whole new topic to keep things going.

182

Instead, she says you should always wrap your answer in something that gives the other person a hook, something they can follow up on.

183

So if someone asks you where you're from, instead of saying Ohio, you might say, I'm from a small town in Ohio,

184

but I just moved here about three years ago because my girlfriend

185

and I wanted to try living somewhere with actual stuff to do.

186

Now, the other person has like four things they could respond to.

187

The small town, the move, the girlfriend, the city.

188

You've turned a dead -end answer into an open door, and it takes almost zero additional effort.

189

You're just adding a sentence of context.

190

Same thing with the job question.

191

If someone asks what you do and you say, I'm a video editor, that's a naked job.

192

There's nowhere for the conversation to go unless the other person happens to know something about video editing.

193

But if you say, I'm a freelance video editor,

194

I actually just quit my full -time job a little while ago to do it on my own, so it's been a wild ride.

195

Now, there's a story there.

196

There's something for the other person to latch on to.

197

They might ask about the freelance life or about what made you quit

198

or about what you did before or what type of videos you edit.

199

You've given them options, and the options keep the conversations alive.

200

But this works the other way too.

201

When someone gives you a naked answer, you can be the one who digs deeper.

202

If someone says, I'm from Ohio, instead of saying, oh cool, and watching the conversation die,

203

ask them what part or what made them leave or why do they live here now?

204

Do they miss it?

205

Don't just accept the surface.

206

Go one level deeper, and you'd be surprised how quickly people open up when you show genuine interest in what they're saying.

207

Most people give short answers because they assume the other person doesn't actually care.

208

When you prove them wrong by following up, it changes the whole dynamic.

209

Another thing from the book that I've been practicing is what Laundis calls parroting.

210

It sounds weird, but it's incredibly effective.

211

I'm not gonna lie, I don't like all the terms, it seems very self -help guru -y,

212

but I promise the stuff she actually says in this book makes a lot of sense.

213

The concept of parodying is when someone says something, you repeat the last few words back to them as a question.

214

Let's give an example.

215

If someone says, yeah, I've been really into rock climbing lately, you say, rock climbing, and they keep going.

216

They elaborate, they tell you more, they go deeper into the topic.

217

You didn't have to think of a clever follow -up question, you didn't have to steer the conversation anywhere,

218

you just echoed what they said and gave them permission to keep talking.

219

It feels almost too simple to work, but I've been doing it and it's kind of wild how much people will share

220

when you just give them a small nudge like that.

221

It keeps the conversations flowing without you having to carry it,

222

and it gives you more of a chance to find something to latch onto to continue the conversation.

223

And the other person feels heard because you're reflecting their words back to them.

224

Imagine someone says, yeah, I just got into woodworking, and you go, woodworking?

225

They're probably gonna talk for like five straight minutes about what table they were building, and I really don't know anything about woodworking,

226

but I think you get the point.

227

And this could happen just because you repeat one word back to them.

228

That's how low the bar is for standing out in a conversation in a world where nobody pays attention

229

People are so used to being half listened to

230

that even the smallest sign that you're paying attention makes a massive impression

231

Laundice also talks about what she calls prosaic with passion.

232

The idea is that when someone asks you a mundane question like how are you or how's your weekend going,

233

most people give a flat, boring answer.

234

Good, not bad.

235

And then the conversation goes nowhere because you've given it nowhere to go.

236

But if you respond with even a little bit of energy and specificity, like actually really good, I just found this awesome

237

Thai place near my apartment and I've been going back like three times per week.

238

You've just turned a throwaway question into the start of an actual conversation.

239

You've given the other person something to work with, and you've shown that you're someone who actually has things going on in their life.

240

It's a small shift, but it makes you instantly more interesting to talk to.

241

Now all of this stuff is great in theory, but it means nothing if you aren't in situations where you can actually use it.

242

And this is the part that I think connects everything together.

243

You could read every communication book on the planet, you could memorize every technique, you can watch a hundred videos about how to talk to people,

244

but if you're sitting in apartment with your phone in your hand, none of it matters.

245

You need to be physically present in environments where interaction is possible, and not just possible, but likely.

246

This is where my girlfriend and I sometimes go wrong when it comes to trying to make new friends.

247

We were going to places, but we were going to them wrong.

248

We went to restaurants and sat in our own bubbles in the corner.

249

We went to events and talked to each other.

250

We were physically in social spaces, but mentally closed off to any possibility of socializing.

251

If you want to meet people at a coffee shop sit at the community table, not in the corner facing the wall.

252

If you want to talk to someone at the gym, take your headphones out in between sets and actually look around.

253

Don't order a coffee to go and say you tried

254

or sit in the back row of a class and leave before anyone can talk to you and say you tried.

255

You need to put yourself in a position where connection is possible and then you need to actually be open to it.

256

And you need to go to places that you actually care about.

257

If you don't like drinking and you go to the bar because you think it's the best spot to meet people,

258

I'm sorry, but you're not going to connect with anyone

259

and you're not going to have a good time

260

and the people around you are going to be able to tell that you're not having a good time.

261

So seek out things that you're actually interested in and go to places that represent those things.

262

Nobody's going to think you're weird for showing up somewhere alone because that's the entire point.

263

You're going to a place for something you're passionate about and everyone else there is passionate about the same thing.

264

It doesn't matter how they arrived or who they arrived with.

265

That's your common ground right there and it makes starting a conversation so much easier because the hardest part, finding something to talk about,

266

is already taken care of.

267

Now, on the other side of this, the book also talks about a technique called eavesdrop in.

268

This one felt a little bold to me at first, but the more that I thought about it, the more it made sense.

269

The idea is that when you're in a social environment

270

and you overhear a nearby conversation about something you know about or are interested in, you can naturally join in.

271

Not in a creepy lurking way, but in a casual friendly way.

272

If two people next to you at the bar or talking about a show you've been watching, there's nothing wrong with saying,

273

sorry, I couldn't help put over here, but are you guys talking about that new season?

274

Most people are receptive to this because you've shown that you share an interest with them.

275

You've given yourself a natural way into the conversation without having to manufacture one from scratch.

276

It takes some guts the first few times, and sometimes people just aren't going to want to talk to you,

277

but it gets easier, like the roller coasters.

278

In the types of places where you can have these conversations, you need to keep showing up to them.

279

One visit to a coffee shop or one event is not going to change your social life.

280

You need reps.

281

You need to go to

282

that coffee shop regularly to become a familiar face to build recognition with the people who work there

283

and the regulars who also show up.

284

So showing up once and then saying, well, I tried does not count.

285

You dipped your toe in the water and then you went back to your couch.

286

When I look back at every friendship I've had in my life,

287

they all formed because I was consistently in the same place as the same people.

288

My childhood friends were kids on my street that I saw every day or kids that I played baseball with.

289

My college friends were people in my dorm or people in my classes.

290

Friendship is most easily based around convenience and the friendships didn't happen because of one great conversation.

291

They happened because we kept bumping into each other and eventually those surface level interactions deepened into something real.

292

The nod in the hallway turned into lunch together.

293

Lunch turned into hanging out on weekends.

294

That's how friendships have always formed, through proximity and repetition.

295

As adults, we don't have that built -in structure anymore, so we need to create it ourselves.

296

That's what showing up to the same places regularly does.

297

It recreates the proximity that friendships need to grow.

298

And honestly, this is where most people fail.

299

They go to one event, have an okay time, and then never go back.

300

Or they have a great conversation with someone, and then never follow up.

301

The follow -up is everything.

302

If you talk to someone and it goes well, exchange numbers.

303

Connect on Instagram.

304

Suggest getting together sometime.

305

I know that feels bold, and I know that the voice in your head is going to say that that they'll think this is weird,

306

but they won't.

307

People are hungry for connection right now, more than ever.

308

They're just as afraid to make the first move as you are.

309

Being the person who actually takes that step is rare, and most people will be genuinely happy that you did.

310

People are naturally drawn to faces that they recognize.

311

If you show up at the same place every week, the regulars start to notice you.

312

You stop being a stranger and start being the guy who's always here.

313

And that small shift in how someone perceives you makes it exponentially easier to start a conversation.

314

They're more open to it because you're not some random person approaching them out of nowhere, you're a familiar presence and familiarity breeds comfort.

315

Now I want to touch on one other thing that I think a lot of guys watching this need to hear.

316

A lot of the anxiety around talking to people gets amplified by about a thousand when it comes to talking to women.

317

And I get it.

318

I was the same way for most of my life.

319

I had crushes on girls in high school that I never spoke to.

320

Not once.

321

They probably still have no idea who I am to this day.

322

But women aren't some mythical creature that requires a secret code to communicate with.

323

They are normal humans, with normal interests, who want connection just as much as we do.

324

The reason that talking to them feels so different is

325

because you've attached an outcome to the interaction

326

you're not just talking to a person you're talking to someone you might be interested in

327

and the pressure of

328

that potential outcome makes

329

it feel like an audition every single technique from this book applies to talking to women the exact same way

330

that it applies to talking to anyone else the flooding smile

331

the full body pivot being a word detective keeping the spotlight

332

on them never giving naked answers none of this changes based on the gender

333

or how attracted you are to the person that you're talking to and that's kind of the whole point

334

If you want to get better at talking to women, get better at talking to anyone.

335

Talk to old ladies at the store.

336

Old people have no one to talk to, so if you just walk up to an old lady and say, hey, how are you doing today?

337

She's probably going to talk for like an hour and it'll give you a lot of practice.

338

Talk to anyone and everyone because it's the same skill, the same muscle.

339

You're just too in your head to see that right now because you've made talking to women into this separate, terrifying category when it's really not.

340

You wouldn't rehearse what you're going to say to the cashier at the grocery store.

341

You wouldn't stress about your body language when talking to an old man walking his dog.

342

But the second that you find someone attractive, you suddenly forget how to be a normal person, and they can feel that.

343

They can sense when someone is performing instead of being themselves, and it's uncomfortable for everyone involved.

344

The techniques from this book work precisely because they aren't about performing.

345

They're about being present, being curious, and making the other person feel like they matter.

346

That works on everyone because everyone wants to feel like they matter.

347

There's one more thing from the book that I want to mention

348

because I think it ties everything together and it's something that the author calls scramble therapy.

349

Again, these names are really giving me an ick

350

because I feel like a lot of self -help people prescribe these like weird names to things that don't really need it,

351

but the concept is that you should regularly try something new.

352

Get out of your comfort zone.

353

Try a new hobby, a new activity, a new place, a new type of event, not necessarily because you'll love it,

354

but because every new experience gives you something new to talk about.

355

It expands your world, it gives you stories, and it gives you a common ground with a wider range of people.

356

If the only thing you do is go to work and then go home and play

357

Xbox, you're going to have a very limited pool of things to talk about when you do find yourself in a conversation.

358

But if you tried rock climbing last weekend, or you went to a food festival, or you started learning how to cook a new cuisine,

359

suddenly you have material.

360

You have experiences that other people can relate to or ask questions about, and you have entry points into conversations that wouldn't have existed otherwise.

361

The other benefit of this is

362

that it puts you in new environments where you can meet different types of people that you normally wouldn't cross paths with.

363

If you only hang out in the same three places with the same routine, you're going to keep running into the same types of people.

364

But if you shake it up and try a new class or a new event, you're exposing yourself to a completely different set of humans,

365

and any one of them could become a friend.

366

You don't need to be naturally charismatic or outgoing to do any of this stuff.

367

That's the whole point of the book.

368

The author isn't writing for people who are already great at socializing.

369

She's writing for people like me and you who want to connect with others

370

but feel stuck because they don't know how to start.

371

A real smile instead of a fake one.

372

Full attention instead of half attention.

373

Listening instead of waiting to talk.

374

Asking about the things someone actually cares about instead of the thing that's the easiest to talk about.

375

None of this requires you to be extroverted or confident or funny.

376

It just requires you to pay attention to the world around you and care about the person in front of you.

377

If you're in the same place that I was, feeling a bit disconnected and struggling to make friends,

378

I really do encourage you to pick up the book.

379

Again, you can find it in my bookshop which is linked in the description, and everything purchased there helps to support local independent bookstores.

380

And if you want to support the channel directly, consider becoming a monthly member

381

or just buying me a coffee using the buy me a coffee link in the description as well.

382

I also have a habit tracking and journaling app

383

that is completely free to use with an optional one -time lifetime purchase package, which of course also helps to support the channel,

384

and it's a good place to build discipline and track your habits as well as your finances.

385

So, how is socializing with other people going for you?

386

Do you have any other tips?

387

Do you think I'm missing anything?

388

Let me know in the comments.

389

That's it for today's conversation and we will talk again soon.

390

Thank you.

391

Thank you.

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
