[ QUICK THREAD ]
1-Smile

How do you feel when you see someone that looks angry?

It’s a downer

No one will want to interact with you if you look pissed all of the time, it’s just negative energy

Plus, smiling is a sign of confidence and boosts others moods
2-Good posture

Don’t walk Into any social setting looking like the hunchback

It’s weak and makes you look low energy

Plus, you’re displaying low status with weak posture

Stand up straight with your chin up & chest out like a god

Walk like you’re proud of yourself
3- Strong eye contact

Ever shake someone’s hand & their eyes are either looking down or darting?

It’s weak & you probably won’t trust them

Or in conversation?

Eye contact while talking means you’re listening and paying *Attention*

Strong eye contact displays confidence
4-Fluid hand gestures

Use your hands to talk & express your points

Don’t stand there like a robot

Using the hands can make what you’re talking about exciting

It can also be used to emphasize

Exciting = positive emotion

Remember, making people FEEL is what’s important
5-Let others talk more

What do people love to hear?

The sound of their own voice

People care more about themselves, so make them feel good by paying attention to them & by letting them talk about themselves

Plus, people will give more information to talk about with them
6-Listen & relate

This is the key to building comfort with people

Let them talk—> then listen & relate to them

Pay attention to them
Repeat back what they say
Nod your head yes

And relate to them with your own experiences or stories
7-Comfortable touching people

Touching people builds comfort

While talking, lightly touch the shoulder or elbow when making a joke or a point

People feel comfortable w/ you the more you touch

Touch = Language

Non verbal communication

Translating how you feel & emotions
8- Walk with a swagger

Yes, walk into the social setting like YOU ARE A GOD

Yes, also be conscious of your posture and facial expressions

Stroll in with a slow, confident walk that says you’re a billionaire that doesn’t take any sh*t

People will notice and be drawn to u
9-Speak slower

Listen, no one will take you seriously if you spouting and ranting off information at the speed of light

-People won’t understand you
-You’ll seem to nervous

Take brief pauses
Speak slower and emphasize points

This will make you seem more confident
10-Keep calm under criticism

People will break your balls and try to poke fun at you in social settings

You need to remain calm, especially if what they’re saying is true

Self deprecate and poke some fun at yourself (Not too much)

Agree, amplify & exaggerate what they say
This will make you seem cool and collected with a good sense of humor

You will appear relaxed and not too serious

People like being around laid back those that go with the flow

DO NOT REACT NEGATIVELY to what they say

It will make you look emotionally weak

10 lessons on influence from one of my favorite books

If you want people to like you, start here....

// Thread //
1. Stop criticizing people

We all make mistakes.

Stop jumping to criticize people when they do.

It's counterproductive.

Most people become defensive and stop listening.

Instead, lead by example and offer your help.

None of us are perfect. No need to remind people.
2. Praise people often

It's easy to point out weaknesses.

Do you ever point out their strengths?

Compliment them if they look nice.
Praise them when they do a good job.

Your kind words will cheer them up and give you a special place in their heart.

"I'm scared to approach her. She might reject me."

- What would you grandfather say?
- What would he tell you to do?

He'd say "Do you still have a pair of nuts? Man up and stop being a pussy. Do it, or some other guy will."

Channel that old school energy and go after it.
Rejection means nothing. Absolutely nothing

Do you know how many times I've been rejected?

A lot.

Guess what? I moved on and approached someone else

Many of the women who denied me told me straight up how they respect the boldness

What do you have to lose?
Rejection is necessary.

Think of it as gods way of protecting you from people you won't vibe with.

Imagine if you couldn't reject people....

You'd be forced to accept anyone who came your way.

That would be awful.

From awkward loner to becoming the life of the party.

- 5 steps I used to overcome social anxiety -

(STORY THREAD)
It feels like it was yesterday...

Upset and smoking as I looked out my window.

This is was my life: wake up, videogames, look at phone, sleep.

I was depressed, lonely, and didn’t want to be alive.

I was panicking.

I couldn’t believe this is what my life had become.
Everyone else seemed to be having the time of their lives.

Partying, traveling, and enjoying life.

Here I was, spending most of the day in my room, alone.

Each day felt worse. My anxiety became intense.

The sadness grew deeper.

How did I get to this point in my life?

I used to have panic attacks at college

Step in the classroom, sit down, and BOOM, panic and anxiety would set in

I'd immediately get up, leave the class and do deep breathing in the hallway

I believed the classroom was causing the panic

So I stopped going...until
I had enough of the constant need to escape

I was tired of fearing the classroom..

I was tired of fearing "What will people think if they see me having a panic attack?"..

I was tired of running...
One day I told myself "Today, I'm not running anywhere. I don't care how bad it gets. I don't care. Let whatever happen. If I faint, pass out and everyone makes fun of me so be it, but today, I'm not running."

So, I went to class and braced for it

The Art of Journaling

- 5 Tips for Keeping a Journal -

(THREAD)
Journaling is a game changing tool. Many sleep on it because they’re worried about being made fun of for keeping a diary. It makes you think of a young girl writing about her crush as school. But guess what? You’re not writing for other people. You’re writing for you.
Life's too short to not do something because others might make fun of you. They’re judging you for recording your thoughts & experiences. How stupid is that? Self-reflection and self-awareness, how horrible! In reality, these people are chained to the opinions of other people.
