@anthonypillarella: Replying to @laureneandrews I forgot to say that the range of how much or how little you can talk at a time widens dramatically as the conversation goes on. But how much should you talk? On average, you should try to speak in roughly 1-3 sentences at a time. I've been calling it the two sentence rule, for obvious reasons lol. #charisma #socialskills #communicationskills #makingfriends #datingadviceformen
My biggest issue with answering “how are you” is my alexithymia and genuinely not knowing how I am most of the time. That advice seems to work well for when you can 1) clearly identify your own emotions state, and 2) that emotional state is anywhere outside of the neutral equilibrium. Genuinely, most of the time I just feel like… a neutral grey. So the answer is usually something along the lines of “Doing alright”. And contrary to pinpointing why you’re feeling good or bad, pinpointing why you’re basically not feeling any strong emotion whatsoever is essentially impossible. That makes it pretty hard to apply the whole “I feel like X, here’s why” formula and make things interesting.

I've been binge watching these and there is a lot of overlap between them and the improv classes I've been taking to improve my social skills (because what is social interaction if not improv?). Anyways, really great to hear it from two directions.

how do you balance saying extra things for them to respond to while also wanting to ask them the question back so it seems like you're interested in them too?
