5 practical steps to become less shy and more confident.

As I said in the video, I think it's sad that we often view introversion as inferior to extraversion. You don't need to change your whole personality! Most people are both anyway, it's context-dependent. However, in a world that's just one big human network, people skills help 😌 I hope this video helps someone like it would've helped me!! and check out the 36 Qs to fall in love!

Me taking notes 😅

Banal, basic, obvious advice

Haaa... A daily dose of comfort and learning... Thank you so much Jade!

im 13 and in grade 8 , this april ill be goin to grade 9
like this whole year i have just wasted by being awkward like i rlly rlly rlly want to just socialise but like at the moment i just dont know what to say or ask
like i watched a few of these type of vids but like i rlly just dont know at the moment
this video brought a lil bit tears in my eyes , it just didnt fall off
i hope this vid will help me in the live moment

these were great tips! as someone who used to be painfully shy, but now i LOVE talking with people (the right people lol), my tip would be to center every conversation around something that interests both YOU and THEM.

Jade touches on this in getting “deeper” in conversation, but to add on, you must be interested in the topic as well because if not, it will show. both you and the other person will not be engaged.

when you continue to have conversations that fascinate you, and the connections that can come out of them, i think it makes interacting with people genuinely fun and being social is something you actually want to do!

I find this video so so helpful, compared to other “how to be more social”-videos this one has been… more practical? I feel hyped. And one tip I find so useful for meaningful conversations is to just share something you are vulnerable about, very often the person you are talking to cam relate and you can share and reflect together!

start with what are you doing and then ask you they feel about it ;)

i act like an introvert around my friends that I don’t know very well, but when I’m with my close friends, i act like an extrovert. i wish that I could always act like that because I feel like I’d be able to make so many more friends that way

You've become my mentor, thank you so much for the peace your words give me :)

everytime i watch your video i feel like im talking to a disney princess who is teaching me the most beautiful things in life and how to be happy for real🪄💕

I'm new here and I am just shook with your beauty! U look like a model!!!

Same! I got better at being social, but I lost it since covid. I am now just as awkward as I was 10 years ago

how do you make friends even if you try to speak more as a natural introvert, it usually ends up as acquaintances vs friends for me

Well, that's a Good technique 👍

I've always struggled making true connected friendships. I might have some friends, but I've never found my true person the way others around me have. And I need I shouldn't be expecting to meet my soulmate by the age of 13, but the last time I truly remember a completely comfortable relationship was with my best friend at 10. I'm still I guess, besties with her now but our friendship is nowhere near as close as it was. I'm really going to try this year to overcome my social anxiety! Thank you jade for this video and I hope that it will work for me in the future xxx

I am an introvert, and it’s horrible.
My best friend is an extroverted person and we often go like to camps or something like that in the summer, and she always gets along with people immediately. While I am to scared to even say hello, she makes friends and they like her and I don’t even like going there because it’s the same thing every time. I’m trying to get over that and start talking to people, and making friends, because it’s just such a difference if you are an introvert or an extrovert.

this is something I needed. I wish I came for this sort of advice in the internet much earlier

I really agree with what you say. One thing that annoyed me the most is that people always have prejudices about you. When I was in high school, I was the girl who always got the high grades and studied hard. In many peoples mind, it was not possible that the serious study girl also likes to go to a party or could have a social life. So they just don't ask or something and I would be disappointed and feel lonely. I know I'm not the most outgoing person, but when I know people really good and feel comfortable, I can be the most present and enthusiastic people in the room. So indeed there's not only introvert and extravert, but a lot of it is between those. Now with uni, I started during covid, so still don't know that many people and live at home by my parents, so again not really 'part of a group' or going to parties. Also there really is a drinking culture at uni, which just isn't my thing, but a lot of students don't understand that you can like a party without drinking tons of beer. What I want to say is that your videos inspire me for quite a few years now :) I really want to thank you for that, and it makes me happy how many likeminded people there are out there. I'm trying to go out of my comfortzone more often and I really want to start travelling too. I'm now going to study in Norwau for 5 months next semester and I'm so excited!! Also going to do a Lingoda course to improve and practice my English a bit beforehand :) So really thank you Jade and keep up the good work💕

Thank you for this video ☺️

Me as an Introvert It’s difficult to talk to people. 😩

it was awsome!!

aye anyone else the shyest and quietest person in the group?

I really like you

I feel like Im the past you rn

bro i used to be really social but now i can only speak to like 2 people and have a good conversation without getting awkward and boring the other person out so now i get too embarrassed to talk to people lol

Its interesting topic

🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️

You are so beautiful 😍 mashaa Allah

I needed this video so much!!

It's weird because I feel like I'm so good at talking to new people but as soon as I know them for a while, it kinda gets awkward and I don't know what to say..😬

Why do you look a taddd bittt like Billie eilish tho ☆_☆ ♡♡♡

This was much needed right now 🤍

I'm not shy, I've social anxiety. I was trying my best to overcome it but then covid pushed me inside my house and now it has worsened :"(

Special Advice made by my experience: it's better to be vulnerable than to be intouchable. When I'm feeling anxious about people it's very very easy for me to act like I don't care and I don't have any emotions at all. And it's sucks, because it's hard to make friends when you seem like you don't have any emotions. I know it's hard to act vulnerable but it's make you human

this was exactly a year ago but i saw the video for the first time today and it came at the perfect time. yesterday i cried myself to sleep because i called my best friend after talking to no one for a long time and i realized i was just so awkard and I felt so bad!! In a few days I'm going to a youth camp with a lot of strangers. I'm so scared, but I'll challenge myself and do my best. thank you jade <3

“Glew”

I love this Jade!

I had to do a speach in front of the class and I ended up crying in the bathroom :))

Just to get this off my chest.
My parents are disappointed that I'm really shy and have social anxiety. They yell at me that I need to talk more especially to adults better. They have my older sister that graduate a year ago that "doing" so well with money talking with adults. My older brother is not doing really in school but is getting along with talking a bit outside my home. And theirs me, want to just talk on the internet enjoy myself but hate peoples, can't talk too much without coughing or looking at something. I get compared to my siblings and my classmates peers that it's brings down my motivation more.
Also what I experience when I was young in school. 1st grade I was harassed and judge by my teacher, 2nd grade everyone bullied me and judge me of my weight and my hair. 4th grade my brothers teacher judge me on how to speak louder and stop being a wimp. 8th grade I was rejected and the guy I like people may have told his friends that they judge me. And here I am onto 11th grade after this summer break. I'm scared of adults not giving me time to slow speak out and just yell at me. All the adults loves yelling when I live and this village does have their own language and people are even more disappointed I can't speak and understand my "language"
My parents are ashamed that I don't want to live where I live current and want to move to Texas
Everyone know everyone in my hometown but as of someone that watches anime, does digital drawing, and hates my home's culture. I'm just cursed now.
All this lead to depression of course and my mom only know but she doesn't care anything. Last year December, was when she find out I have depression. She yelled at me to never go to a doctor for help but now I was giving pills for this and she first started to care about me more. But she stopped and started the yelling again.
This is my life but I don't want it to be it anymore. I want to be gone


Thanks for coming to my TedTalk..(a little joke aside)

does anyone else with anxiety or depression just feel too exhausted to socialize??? like you don’t wanna be alone & boring but u also don’t have the energy for it either?

☝👈📖👈💙👈

I used to be so confident and loud and all that but one day, I was giving a speech and loads of people started teasing about how I was speaking and how I was moving my hands and ever since then I've been so scared to speak and shy. So all I'm gonna say I know it might seem funny or might not seem like a lot but please, don't tease and laugh at people like that because it can do a lot more damage to someone than you think.

I'm currently working at McDonald's and I love it when people as me how my day is! It happens so rarely, a woman asked me one day and she genuinely cared and I'd had a crap day that day and it made me feel so much better

whoa was that Ljubljana I saw at 8.39? <3

Idk jade... My situation is totally different from u 😂😂😂 i m actually very talkative with my family but I m less socialised with other people but still I love to talk alot with my friends... I'm just like kinda don't know how to talk with people that I'm not that used to but I talk a bit only with them... I really want to change this
