      The only thing that made me quit the social media addiction was uninstalling them one by one.
      First one was facebook years ago, didn't miss it, second one was tiktok, it gave me fomo but ended up not missing it either. Current one is instagram, it's being harder since I'm losing a tiny part of the lives of people I actually care, plus losing some messages from them (I still access on chrome, tho). After some time now I can't stand the influencers I was following, and ig seems boring after few minutes since it's almost impossible to keep doomscrolling when I'm just trying to reply messages.
      Hope this helps!

      im also struggling with making friends, but its natural to not talk to the same people irl every single day or even via text, especially if you are relatively new friends, people are busy and most of the time if they don't mind talking to you they won't mind you talking to them a week or 2 later without any in between, it's almost never too late and sometimes what you need most is to excuse your lack of speaking to yourself so that you can send them a message and eventually when things or interests you have in common come closer you might be able to strategize meeting up more and getting to know them better to have more to talk about.

      but I usually include another nearby friend, like if I'm asked if I know where the teacher is, I say I dunno and end with "maybe [nearby friend] knows" and that other guy will be included, I once did it with my teachers when a teacher sneezed a lot, I was like "bless you, then God bless you [teacher who didn't sneeze], and also you too [friend who walked by]"

      Some people can sense your intention lurking underneath. So it should be natural. If you pretend to be someone else or fake like something just to get someone to like you, well it's obvious to them. They will walk away. So, only talks to someone when you got the same interest, hobby, or job. Something that connects with both sides. Not because you keep googling about them. It's not good for long run.

    A little summary 💞✨
    1. Be your unfiltered self to exclude boring people
    2. talk to ppl about your interests (explain so they can understand)
    3. Don’t think your thoughts over to much
    4. Don’t force to speak with people who don’t care about you
    5. Be the main character (simple questions)
    6. Be side character (ask ppl about them)
    7. Questions out of your comfort zone (transparent)
    8. Ask if anything is bothering them recently and not “How are you?”
    9. Do a group chat
    10. Do them a favor
    11. Ask THEM for a favor
    12. Ask a question that everybody could answer (pick up line) -> leads into a conversation
    13. When you overwhelmed to talk with everyone in a big group only talk to the one for an example at your side who doesn’t talk so much
    14. Act like you are already friends
    15. Do something with them they always wanted to do, suggest a meeting
    16. Write a SMS

    This is the most straightforward, down-to-earth vid I’ve seen on this topic.
    Overthinking really holds me back in this regard. I’ve recently started a new job where the people are really cool and funny but I’m still being too polite and not saying much.
    The risky things I say aren’t the same as the risky things they joke about. Not in a mean way, my humor is closer to anti-humor, satire, bad puns and just straight-up making myself out to be deranged (for some reason) whereas their humor is mainly centered around light-moderate banter, and in-jokes.

      the appropriate way to say this would be: don't try to be someone you're not.
      don't show people your every attractiveness but also don't show people a perfect version of you. for example you don't have to tell them about your messed up child-trauma but also give your opinions and don't try to hide your weaknesses. Don't lie but censor your choice of conversations. don't talk about uncomfortable stuff to people you barely know. the more you know them the less censoring you need.

    So the thing for me is that I generally don't have much of an urge to make friends, but once in a blue moon (think every few years) someone comes along who I _really_ want to befriend. That happened a few months ago.
    Watching this was very interesting now because I basically did _all_ of the things mentioned here with that particular person 😅 But I did them intuitively, or because these things seemed obvious. I always felt like I was terrible at making friends, but apparently I know the whole playbook lol. I just rarely have the impulse to do these things because I don't tend to feel lonely.
    But this one person I really wanted to get to know. (And it did work, we quickly became close friends)

    -Puedes dejar una conversación si quieres, no todas tienen que tener éxito y está bien dejarla si es muy incómoda y poco interesante (yo solo haría esto después de probar las otras estrategias en el video)
    -Haga preguntas, especialmente aquellas que tengan una conexión emocional con la otra persona (es importante mencionar que si acaba de conocer a esta persona, no se ponga vulnerable (como en el caso de un trauma), ya que es posible que no quiera hablar de ello y se sienta incómodo). )
    -Intentar conectarse a través de intereses compartidos o preguntarle a alguien sobre sus intereses (me resulta más fácil hacer esto cuando les haces preguntas en un entorno compartido, por ejemplo, si ambos están en un equipo deportivo, pregúntales qué les gusta de él o cómo Hace mucho que han estado jugando)
    -¡Está bien hacer pausas! No son tan incómodos como cree y puede darle una buena cantidad de tiempo para hacer preguntas de forma natural.
    No puedes esperar que cada encuentro social sea todo lo que esperabas que fuera, pero es importante seguir adelante, ya que así te acostumbrarás y desarrollarás toneladas de habilidades sociales.

      it’s literally like how you learn anything else, it’s hard at first then it gets easier. Buy or rent the instrument, learn music theory, practice 30 minutes at least once a week or whenever you have the time, you could do it everyday for all I care, and soon you’ll get the hang of it!

      There's a certain skill curve when it comes to learning your first instrument which will take quite a while to overcome, but generally, constant practice is key, because knowing your instrument and its quirks its gonna be a life saver, and you need to know how to work around problems IF they come at at a time where you can't exactly fix it.

    extra tip: use any of these methods on a person you have a crush on, then after establishing that you're compatible to be friends with, ask if they'd like to go on a coffee date, ice cream date, or dinner date

    how do you meet these friends?? sure these things are usefull if you find people to use them against but there is literally no one to find other than random people on the street which you probably shouldnt ask "is there anything that bothers you lately"

    I find it hard to maintain relationships. I just tend to disappear from society whenever I get my "ghosting phases" which can last for months, I just simply don't answer anyone on phone or in social media, there's some barrier stopping me lol

      Discord is not inherently bad, you have to know how to filter the people you talk to. In real life it's not much different, you still have to filter out the "bad" people

    As a kid I had to sit through presentations on how to pick up women just to learn how to have friends. This would have been a very useful video to have a decade ago.
    I would just like a separate video on how simple it is to deal with the anxiety around approaching strangers.
    It can be very stressful to talk to people, usually because of narratives in your mind so this could actually be a video about social anxiety in general.
    My trick personality is the idea of "framing", that is, when you propose to the other person you are talking to what kind of relationship you two have. That makes you two no longer strangers and instead makes the conversation be between potential friends, lovers, business stuff, etc...

    7:48 This concept is really good for me, since i'm more quiet than everyone else in my friend groups, it's easier to talk with people who don't talk ask much like me and engage them (which engages you to into a conversation) and then ease in into the actual conversation after we become comfortable with each-other and get what i call "talk flow" (a flow like state that makes it easier for you to talk with other people by making you less stressed and clearing your mind). You'll basically have a teammate to help you!
    They'll also probably notice and become friends with you sooner than usual.
