0:12
today we are diving into a topic I know
0:15
a lot of you will resonate with how to
0:17
be more socially confident now let's be
0:20
real social situations can be never
0:24
wrecking especially when you are walking
0:26
into a room full of strangers and having
0:29
to make talk with people you barely even
0:32
know trust me I get it here's the good
0:35
news social confidence is something you
0:39
are just born
0:43
with that's a false statement social
0:46
confidence isn't something you're just
0:49
born with it's a skill you can learn and
0:53
develop over time so let's Jump Right In
0:56
and talk about how you can walk in any
0:58
room with your head held up high and
1:02
feeling more confident
1:05
and best in all social settings first
1:09
things first let's talk about what
1:11
social confidence actually means because
1:14
it's not about being the loudest person
1:17
in the room or always knowing what to
1:19
say it's about feeling comfortable in
1:22
your own skin knowing that you don't
1:25
have to pretend to be anyone else
1:27
socially confident people and immune to
1:31
nervousness no they they've just learned
1:34
how to manage those nerves and stay
1:37
present in the moment so how do you get
1:40
there let's break it
1:42
down let's start with
1:46
one
1:48
big one
1:52
awkwardness we fear it right that moment
1:55
when you say something and it doesn't
1:57
land
2:00
or that there's a long pause in a
2:04
conversation here's the thing
2:06
awkwardness is totally
2:08
normal everyone experiences it instead
2:12
of running from it or overthinking it
2:16
just lean into it when you stop worrying
2:19
about being awkward you'll actually feel
2:22
more at ease and the best part is people
2:26
will feel more comfortable around you
2:28
too because they sense your confidence
2:30
in handling those moments remember it's
2:33
not about being perfect it's about being
2:35
authentic authenticity is
2:38
everything it's everything and you don't
2:43
you don't have to go from being shy to
2:45
the life of the party overnight
2:48
confidence grows in small steps start by
2:52
putting yourself in low pressure social
2:54
situations maybe
2:57
it's you are starting a conversation
2:59
with a a bar or talking to a colleague
3:04
you don't normally engage with these
3:07
small interactions build your social
3:09
muscles that the more you practice the
3:12
more they'll become natural to you and
3:16
eventually what once seemed so
3:18
impossible like speaking up in a meeting
3:21
or attending a network event will not
3:24
just feel like just another normal day
3:27
to you so here's a little trick that can
3:31
take a lot of pressure off from you
3:34
focus on the other person when when we
3:37
are nervous we tend to get caught up in
3:39
our own head what what what should I say
3:43
next am I coming off weird but when you
3:47
shift your attention to the person
3:49
you're talking to the pressure Fades ask
3:52
yourself questions you know um show
3:56
genuine
3:58
interest to the person that you are
4:00
talking to and listen actively not only
4:06
will this make the the conversation flow
4:08
more easily but people will also
4:10
appreciate that you're paying attention
4:12
to them and they see that you are asking
4:15
questions and honestly honestly being a
4:18
good listener is a huge part of social
4:21
confident and not only that being a good
4:24
listener is also so attractive people
4:27
like interacting with people who who are
4:31
just so good at listening because oh
4:33
they'll be asking these questions like
4:36
oh wow you are actually listening to me
4:38
and they find you attractive and have
4:42
you ever heard um a phrase that says
4:45
fake until you make it yeah I know
4:47
everybody knows that phrase everybody
4:50
knows that phrase well when it comes to
4:52
social confidence body language is a
4:55
game changer even even you if even if
5:00
you're feeling anxious inside your body
5:02
can send signals of confidence that your
5:06
brain will eventually catch on to Stand
5:10
Tall make eye contact smile and
5:15
avoid avoid looking nervous avoid that
5:19
just by using your body when you hold
5:21
yourself with confidence not only will
5:24
others perceive you as more confident
5:27
but you'll start to feel it too it's
5:29
like giving yourself a little mental
5:32
boost and here's one of um here's one of
5:36
the biggest social myths silent is
5:41
awkward nope in fact comfortable
5:44
silences is is a sign of social
5:48
confidence you don't have to fill every
5:51
Gap in a conversation with words
5:53
sometimes a pause allows for for deeper
5:57
reflection or or or it gives other
5:59
person a chance to speak up if there's
6:02
a there's so much in the
6:06
conversation it doesn't often means that
6:09
it's a good thing when you are talking
6:11
talking not even giving each other a
6:13
chances to think about what you've been
6:16
saying just because you're trying to run
6:18
away from the
6:19
silence and you don't want that awkward
6:22
situation no just take it easy just just
6:25
take it easy that there's that little
6:27
silence in your conversation and just
6:30
don't panic take a breath and either let
6:33
a moment pass or ask a question to move
6:36
things forward naturally the more
6:39
comfortable you are with silence the
6:41
more ease you'll feel in any social
6:44
setting look none of us are perfect we
6:48
we all have our social oops moments
6:52
maybe maybe you say something awkward or
6:56
trip over your words it happens we are
6:59
we are we are human beings we are not
7:01
perfect and social confidence doesn't
7:04
doesn't mean never making mistakes
7:07
you're going to stutter sometimes
7:09
there'll be words you won't be able to
7:11
pronounce imp perfectly it means
7:14
bouncing back quickly when you do and
7:18
that's social
7:19
confidence uh or even maybe sometimes
7:22
laughing at your own little silly
7:23
mistakes that's confidence you don't
7:26
have to be a perfectionist you don't
7:28
have to pretend to to know it all nobody
7:30
knows everything nobody knows everything
7:34
people know what they know so give
7:36
yourself permission to be imperfect
7:39
people are more drawn to those who are
7:42
real and relatable than the ones who
7:45
seem so Flawless so even if you mess up
7:48
laugh it off and keep
7:50
going just just do that confidence comes
7:54
with knowing that you are enough just as
7:56
you are that's confidence
8:00
if you are feeling unsure in in in
8:02
social situations just start by
8:05
strengthening your
8:07
existing relationships yeah you heard me
8:11
right spend time with people who make
8:13
you feel good about yourself this will
8:16
boost your your overall confidence and
8:19
give you a strong Foundation when
8:22
stepping into new social settings
8:25
gradually um you'll find what you you
8:28
find that expanding your your Social
8:31
Circle becomes easier because you are
8:34
more secure in who you are and what you
8:37
bring to the table how did you be able
8:39
to do that you started with your
8:42
existing relationships that's where you
8:45
you you practiced this whole social
8:49
situation thing so there you have it my
8:52
beautiful
8:53
people I I I'm hoping that um this
8:57
resonated with you and build in Social
9:00
confidence is a journey I'm going to
9:02
repeat it's a journey not a destination
9:04
it's about showing up it's about being
9:07
yourself and learning from every
9:10
experience start small practice often
9:13
and remember every socially confident
9:16
person that you admire they once felt
9:19
just as nervous as you do and with time
9:23
and patience you'll walk into any room
9:26
knowing that you belong there
9:30
you have to be there and you shouldn't
9:34
feel that you shouldn't feel any lowess
9:38
about yourself don't ask yourself do I
9:41
even fit to be here no the fact that you
9:43
are
9:44
there it does show that you're fit to be
9:48
there you are you are supposed to be
9:52
there so walk like it speak like it be
9:58
