I usually break the ice with an ice pick or chisel, or if the ice is in those little plastic trays you put in the freezer, I just give them a twist, and the ice usually pops right out. Oh wait, that's not the kind of "breaking the ice" we're talking about, right? My bad!
Fallen Universes yeah. someone asked me a question about vectors today and I didn't know the answer. btw my phone was in an entirely different Room at that time and half a hour later RU-vid recommended a viedeo explaining what vectors are.
additional tip: calm down, It's ok to make mistakes because you both are just normal people. Always think of it, it kinda happens to some people.. well depends if he/she is full of Pride itself.. :P
Nobody is suddenly confident. Confidence is built on experience. You just have to know that everyone else too had their fill of embarrassment and keep making convos. You'll eventually come to a point where you know you don't need to be nervous or anxious.
I love how chatty and casual these videos are, even though they're giving you great information. Makes you feel more relaxed just by watching them, great job :)
response: do you always begin conversations this way? My father was murdered by a 6 fingered man. Thanks; Watchwell cast now I revealed to a potential date how I've been obsessing for the past 20 years about avenging my father's murder. All I wanted was a phone number
Usually when an awkward silence sets in, I kinda joke a-bit and say something like, 'And The Silence strikes again!' in a laid-back tone with a relaxed smile on my face! I don't mind the awkward silence but sometimes, I just can't help myself. :)
I'm often silent, but I can't manage to roll with it. I feel like I might be making the other person uncomfortable, which is the only thing that drives me crazy in a moment of "awkward silence". So much I get embarrassed whenever I pause in public speaking, because I feel [emphasis on feel] I might be wasting everyone's time.
Thanks for the help :) I'm a 6th grader and since school will be ending soon, the grade 5 are coming over to the Middle School on Wednesday (yes, we have different campuses) to look around and we all will have one 5th grade buddy. Our teachers tell us that we have to have a few ice breaker games and get to know each other well so this helped me, thanks!
Hi there! One of the easiest ways to stay active in a conversation when you're not much of a talker is to find something you're both passionate about. Ask each other some questions, and you'll probably find a topic that you both care about enough to keep the conversation going for a while! And hopefully you can both embrace the occasional silences :)
This neglected what I feel are the most important factors. 1st, what is the setting? Are you at school, at the grocery store, just some public restaurant? What's the likelihood you will see them with any regularity? If high, try to form some kind of habit around conversing. If low, striking up conversation is less recommended, but by no means discouraged. 2nd, what do you notice about them? What are they wearing, what are they carrying with them, what are they doing or talking about, do they have decorative pins/buttons or tattoos? What conclusions can you draw from those observations? Are those conclusions anything you can talk about? 3rd, it takes 2 to converse, try to steer the conversation in a direction that you can contribute to. These are basic things about conversing you just neglected.
Andrea A Yes, exactly that, very much so. He was very good at drawing several accurate conclusions from people just based on a handful of observations. I once started a conversation with someone that went somewhere pretty good based on the fact I could tell she was a Yokai Watch watch fan. I didn't even know all that much about yokai watch, but I knew enough to start a conversation from it. For starters, you can tell a lot about someone based on the contents of their grocery cart. I had a friend who liked to observe bus riders and wonder about what stories they have. Sherlock Holmes abilities can be good to start conversations with if you know the right way to factor them in, Sherlock was known for being a bit tactless and not good at leading in to bringing up those things he noticed.
“Well… someone’s got to break the ice and it might as well be me! I mean, I am used to being a hostess, it’s a part of my husband’s work. And it’s always difficult when a group of new friends meets together for the first time to get acquainted. So I’m perfectly prepared to start the ball rolling. I mean… I have absolutely no idea what we’re doing here, or, what I’m doing here, or what this place is about, but I am determined to enjoy myself, and, I’m very intrigued, and I oh my! This soup’s delicious, isn’t it?” -Clue. Mrs. Peacock (sorry. Lol. it was the first thing I thought xD)
Great episode. I already follow these steps and it works fine. But often it turns into an interview because I am an active listener who ask questions but none of my friends are. It makes me wonder why I should care about them if it doesn't work both ways.
Hey Salma! First, you should check out our video "Anger Management" to teach you how to stay calm when you get worked up. When it comes to letting someone down easy, always be sure to be as kind as you can be, but clear in your intentions, so there aren't any mixed signals. Hope we helped a bit!
Thank you watchwellcast... for helping me to try and break the ice with my 9 year old shy daughter....you've just reinforce what i'v being telling her for some time now......
Hey! There is no such thing as "awkward silence", people ;D Notice that, when you can sit still and silent with someone, you can do everything with this person! It's awesome!
Hi Maggie! First, you should check out our video "Guide to Maintaining Friendships." Second, it can be hard to break out of your shell when you're used to communicating online and on the phone. Try watching our "Party Survival Guide for Introverts" and "Conquering Fear" videos, they might help!
That does sound scary. While there isn't much we can do about other peoples' anger, we can try and guide them in the right direction. Maybe he'd do well to check out our "Anger Management" video? We won't forget your suggestion, and in the meantime, try and stay away from people who get violently angry when you can!
You guys are totally awesome ;.; I have used everyone of your videos in some way or another even if the main theme wasn't directly helpful for me. Oh and, 4:20 That's his left hand.
The perfect way to break the ice is to say a joke. Or ask a question about something you know the other person is interested in. If all else fails. You could complement what their wearing or the way they look or well... anything about them. :]
