“people are too caught up in their own head” really got me thinking

“You’re not trying to be funny or witty” then proceeds to say “ i feel like your dog judges people” had me howling 😂

“You have to genuinely care about the person” and there goes 90% of everyone I’ve talked with

The fact that YouTube send this to me on Valentines is foul😢

Me trying these tips: ‘So...uh, what's your favorite way to avoid small talk?
@ThatSketchGuyy
Small talk is just a socially acceptable way of saying 'I'm trying to escape awkward silence but have no idea what I'm doing.'
@Cbbsi
Bro my mum just said I need to socialise more and i get this vid 😭
@liam_cordy
The way I see small talk changed completely after I read about confidence, communication and assertiveness from books on MindBloomery. The biggest shift is realizing that it's not about saying the 'right' thing, it's about being present and genuinely interested in other person. Just stop overthinking and focus on the vibe, and everything starts feeling natural.

Person: wears red shirt* Me: Red shirt? Good choice. No one will believe your screams if they can't see your blood. Person: Walks away*

Small talk isn’t about saying the ‘perfect’ thing—it’s about making people feel seen. Active observation is such a game-changer! It takes the pressure off trying to be interesting and just focuses on noticing. Definitely trying this next time I’m in an awkward social setting! 👏🔥

Thank for the video, I summarize steps to have effective small talk 1. Get Ready Start with a happy attitude, small talk is about getting to know someone, not a serious interview. 2. Look Around Notice details. Pay attention to what’s happening around you. Look at what others are wearing or what they are holding. 3. Start the Conversation Begin with a comment or question about something nearby. For example, "That book looks really interesting!" or "Nice weather we’re having!" Ask open questions, avoid questions that can’t just be answered with yes or no. 4. Pay attention to what the other person says. Add your thoughts about what they share. 5. Share about yourself related to the topic after they share, keep it short. 6. Keep your body open and smile. Look them in the eye when you talk, stand or sit in a relaxed way. 7. Wrap up when you’re ready to finish and thank them for chatting. If you liked talking, you can suggest meeting again or sharing contact info.

Small talk is about making people feel noticed. Those few short words, hold so much power the people seem to have lost. Thank you for your words!

👏 “Your calm delivery really drives the point home—small talk doesn’t have to be torture, and this proves it. Loved it!”
@SōsukeAizen-h4i
Most people don't understand. YOU worry too much. stop thinking about all the embarrassment you'll have because of making a wrong move, you probably won't even see the other person a second time. Just stop worrying and talk to them, worst case scenario they tell their friend about your interaction and they have a laugh about it and forget it. Stop being afraid bro 🤷♂
@voyto5498
I like your direct approach for this topic, because that's all Introverts resonate the most. It's so true that being present kills overthinking because it's rooted in self-concern, that's why we forget it's not about us! I appreciate new deep meaning for small talk - as a great way to build connection through acknowledging another human being! 😊
@catdojo
I have a feeling I’m gonna come back to this video 6 years from now and be thankful for this gem. I always wondered why my charismatic friends were so good at small talk and this defines it very simply for me!
@jptech-84
This video is really relatable. A lot of people see small talk as an annoying process, but in the end, every conversation and relationship starts with small talk—that's so true. The part that hit me the most was, "Small talk isn’t about what you say, it’s about making the other person feel like a human." That really makes sense. The concept of active observation also seems super useful. Just noticing small details about someone and using that to start a natural conversation is actually pretty simple, but I never really thought about it before. I think I’ll try to be more mindful and practice this in my conversations from now on. I love how this video delivers practical tips in such a humorous way. It definitely changed the way I think about small talk! 👍
