@anthonypillarella: Replying to @adaival One of THE most important social skills you can develop is making in comfortable for someone to leave. Short term, this gets you stuck in a lot fewer boring conversations and makes sure you're not making people uncomfortable. Long term, it makes it EASY to get a ton of reps in. So here's how I do it. #charisma #socialskills #meetingpeople #datingadvice #datingadviceformen
Big fan of “do you want to be alone? It will not hurt my feelings”

giving them a plausible reason why they might need to leave is genius. just saying do you actually want to be here sounded too awkward and hard to recuperate from

It should go without saying but imma do it any way: you need to be OK with the possibility that they take the out. If you’re doing it to reverse psychology them into staying that’s manipulation and most ppl will pick up on that

I notice that a lot of people think getting better socially means getting everyone to like you when in reality it's about finding people you like who also like you. it's not about getting along with everyone

Good advice, but providing an out isn't the whole answer. "I'm sure you want to leave" is very different to "If you have to head out, lmk if you want to make other plans". Either positive or negative, the issue is forcing an expectation on someone else. Projecting self pity is just as bad as entitlement. Both are types of pressure.

As a large man, I have definitely calibrated to try to offer as many polite ways out of interaction as possible particularly to women. This is just an extension of avoiding creepy flirtatious approaches and similar impressions, but the moral to me has always been that the more external/social power you bring to any conversation, the more you tend to naturally unbalance it, that much more you have to try to equalize to let the other person feel comfortable. And that is unfortunate, and it is not your fault, but it is the nature of the interaction, in the same way that you just have to exert more care moving through the world as someone who is massive and/or strong.

I used to study social interactions a lot as a kid, because I used to be really shy but wanted to know how to make friends, and these videos are truly so helpful like it's been years now but I'm taking notes!!

this is kinda why on sum platforms I have my trans and autisticness listed in bios. I got accused of "making it my whole personality" because of that. like it is? like i don't make a big deal but it's a good way to filter out ppl

I was told that this makes me look insecure and are afraid of people rejecting me first. how do I avoid that? I've started to just be direct again, bcuz it's been giving me better results with getting me into the friendships of people that communicate better with me
