    "Rejection doesn't matter in the long run" My social anxiety: Seems fake but ok

    Tip List Summary 1. Detach your self worth from the outcome of the meeting. 2. Meeting is a two way street. (the other person is just as nervous as you are) 3. Do research on the other person. Sometimes (Get a gist of who they are or what they like doing) 4. Practice visualization of a successful meeting. 5. You don't look as nervous as you feel. 6. Take deeper and slower breaths before going into interaction. 7. Let the other person do the talking. "An interested person is an interesting person"
  • It really does all come down to mindset. I took something heard about anxiety to heart. The way your body feels when anxious is the same way it feels when you are excited. Now, all you have to do is convince your mind that you are not nervous, but rather excited. You body feels the same way, but now your confidence level changes, and you can conquer the world!😎

    Fixing my posture and body language helps me calm my nerves when meeting new people
  • @ArturoCabello
    Usually in these situations, we tend to overthink. It's so important to relax and let that be represented in our body language!

    Tony robbins always talks about how changing your physical body helps change your mental state as well
  • @leahayers7879
    My face literally tells everything I’m feeling, I DO look as nervous as I feel, people always know when I’m nervous, ITS THE WORST
  • @itsdarrenyong
    Anxiety doesn't just walk away, but mindset is something , great content!
  • @joeyjusticeco
    Letting the other person do the talking is a great one. People love talking about themselves and it lets you get to know them better!

    Thank you for this. I just got back from a house warming party tonight and watched your video before going. I'm really glad that I went because normally I would've lied and told them that I have something to do because I'm a coward when it comes to parties. I ended up having a fun time and had a story to tell because I forgot to bring the donuts that I bought as a house warming gift, so I re-ordered them once I got there.

    This came right before me meeting a childhood friend I haven't seen in a decade. Thanks for this timing man seriously.
  • I find that if you treat people the way you want to be treated it will be easier to build better relationships.
  • @falconcara
    This video is so good especially for introverts :)
  • @equinn6504
    I'm generally pretty good at letting my fear go and relaxing around new people. I'm currently going on dates regularly (bc lonely lol) and it's helped a lot. If you radiate self confidence they'll instantly like you more. What I've also found helpful is that I know a little about almost everything that could come up in a first time meeting, so the other person feels like I can relate to some degree but they can still impress me with their expertise on the subject. I don't pretend like I know everything, don't be that guy.

  • @MephistosEyes
    Been watching your vids over the years, even starting off I could tell you had good potential. It's cool to see how much you've grown, and improved man. Always valuable info, applicable, and not stale.. I do miss the llamas though LOL Vids have been such an awesome help throughout the years.
