Most people want to be spoken to, flirted with, teased and given the chance to escape their continuous mental chatter and dull existence.
But oftentimes we have no clue how to begin such interactions or, worse yet, we're terrified to do so.
So we remain in silence, stare at our phones and are the first ones to frantically press the button to open the lift.
And it's because of our reluctance to start the interaction that we cherish those few individuals who take it upon themselves to initiate the conversation while they’re standing in an elevator, queuing in line at a cafe or simply passing us by on the street.
So how do they do it?

1 month later, allow me to clarify some things... The main counter-arguments to this video in the comments are: - "I couldn't think of anything worse than someone trying to talk to me all the time, let alone start a conversation with me in an elevator! Plus there's not a one-size fits all approach to socialising! Anyway, who cares?" So here's my response: - To interpret this video as "this guy is just saying we should ALWAYS avoid silence" is missing the point. - Silence is sometimes necessary if what you're after is a sane mind. - The example of the elevator was an example (emphasis on the word "example"). I used it to illustrate any scenario you might find yourself in where you might want (key words "might want") to spark up a conversation with someone. - However, if you're an unsociable fellow who prefers his own company to some random British man with a moustache trying to talk to you about god knows what in the hopes of having a lively conversation, that's fine. Knock yourself out with your solitude. - But for those of you who do want to occasionally speak to strangers and improve your approachability, I made this video for you. Regardless of what camp you fall into, Thanks for watching. Lewis

That's good! Make it part of the 'taking in your environment' exercise, but careful not to use it as a cop out either. Even if we only spoke for ten seconds, that's enough to make someone feel noticed, heard and, as a corollary, special. It's actually enought time to make a first impression. Perhaps a change of objective might enhance your experience(s). So, spread some cheer! Well, if that becomes your objective, tight time horizons will only motivate you to be more creative/ witty. 👌

I've never fully understood why people trusted me so fast. People would tell me i'm their only "safe place" or i would meet someone and they would tell me later they immediately felt comfortable. This really broke it down for me and helped me understand what I do. I am the type of person to toss compliments at people, go up to a stranger to say they look like a celebrity (i do this very often) or something random to make them smile, and try to, at least once a day, verbalize how much the people I'm close to matter to me. Sometimes in a small speech about how much I love them and appreciate them, other times just a quick "thanks for being there for me, man." I love the feeling that I'm helping people around me. I love knowing someone smiled for just a few seconds after walking by me because I said i loved their new hairstyle or their outfit looks especially good. I love knowing people feel like they can trust me without any fear I'll break it. I love to love. Thank you.

Interestingly enough, you can also use mirrored reciprocation to better negotiate/avoid conflict. For example, if someone says something, anything really, you mirror their response back at them. Person: "I'm so frustrated with your department" You: "You're frustrated with the sales department?" Person: "Yeah, our VP of project management is telling us to try and align with with the expectations your department is setting for the clients. And those expectations are unrealistic for us to fulfill." Next, you never ask a "why" question. "Why" questions make people inherently defensive because they sound accusatory. Instead, ask a "what" question... You: "What makes you frustrated specifically?" Person: "Well this employee of yours promised this (goes into detail about an unrealistic expectation that was set)". You: "Ah, well if they had attended that enablement workshop from last week, they should know better. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I'll correct their course!" Issue resolved in a mostly non-confrontational confrontation, all because you mirrored their frustrations and gave them an opportunity to elaborate without making them feel the need to be defensive.

As a counsellor, this is one of the first basic things you learn - WHY is often interpreted as an accusation so people get defensive, hence we ask WHAT or HOW if we want to help them express themselves and open up. It's a great basic communication technique and helps people feel heard and valued.

What's funny is that in my adult life I've found these conversations easy to start and get into. My mindset is basically that it won't matter if that girl doesn't like me or will continue talking to me, she doesn't know me so the "me" that's rejected is just what she thinks is "me". Quite frankly I've had a lot of success with people doing this. It helps that I'm naturally friendly, curious, social, and interested in what they have to say.

And now i cant escape that whenever i go out. There is beauty in being left alone too, the problem is that we dont really get a choice.

Nah, i think... you should be yourself. It's definitely not weird if someone changes their emotion, everyone does that, everyday. And, if they want you to always be the same, well... they are weird. I mean like, what's the worst thing if you change ur characteristic? The minimal thing, is for them to ask "what's wrong?", and better, they understand your situation and they exude their empathy and respect you. So, the point is, just be yourself :] Both being alone and not alone has both upside and downside, so, "nothing stays the same". And that alone, is also the beauty, get it? yeah no, idk what im saying. have a gr8 day

I'm probably the only socially adept person in the world who finds it absolutely non-awkward and natural to just stay silently next to a random person for a prolonged period of time. There's no need to have a conversation or a small talk if you don't feel like it. No need to awkwardly lower your sight or look around, or look in your phone even if you don't need to just to look busy. Just wear a confident face expression, slightly smiling, lean onto the wall and look straight. You don't have to apologize or feel awkward just because you HAD to be in this elevator with a stranger. There, in fact, very little situations in life where you HAVE to feel awkward. In most cases, you CHOOSE to feel awkward. Just remember that. Also, 4:13 -- That number is SIGNIFICANTLY understated. I don't think the author of the video followed his advice in real life, because most conversation starters he mentioned would be considered cringe in real world.

Silence need not be awkward. Sometimes silence is just silence.

You can't ask extroverts to understand that. If they stop speaking for a minute they have to think, can you imagine that? THINKING. Insanity!

I agree. Whenever I hear someone say that silence is awkward, I feel like "Maybe you're just bad at silence".

I was taught that it is almost always good to notice something about the other person (generally something they seem to have put thought and effort into) and mentioning it, coupled with an open ended question. But I can see how observing the enviroment would give you a lot more to play with. And I guess I do this without really thinking about it. Love the video. Consider me subscribed.

What helped me a lot where two things. 1. Try to understand the fear or anxiety you have towards talking to strangers. For me it was important to understand what hold me back from doin it to understand, that there is really nothing to worrie about and nothing to Lose. 2. To understand, that talking and not talking are equally good. You dont have to talk. But if you feel like it, Just Do it. Takes the pressure out of it. 3. Be authentic. Ask things you really find interessting. Talk about stuff thats really funny/interessting/deep/meaningfull to you. The third Was a Bonus :)

I really can't relate to the "awkward silence problem" with complete strangers. Most of the time I don't speak to strangers because I'm just not interested in them, their opinion or stories. I even try to get rid of people who force you into an conversation in such moments, which, to be honest, I find way more awkward than just minding your own business. Not everyone needs your attention. Not everyone is flirty 24/7. Not every person you meet wants to get to know you. At least I don't.

Lewis! You’re a captivating speaker brother. Great videos on this channel. A HINT for others who want to have better conversations with people they sort of know (someone at the gym you maybe wave or nod to and so on) I always after saying hello and asking how they are will run that sentence and say what are you excited about. “hey how are you today (the slightest pause) what’s exciting today” either we talk about a thing in the gym they are excited about or I’ll hear about something in life and the conversation can just FLOW cause someone is talking about what they are excited about. Which you can do anywhere in life.

@NewelOfKnowledge Месяц назад
Matt, all I can say is thank you. Not only for your comment but for the solid conversation starter of "what's exciting today?" I absolutely love it and I'm going to use it from now on. Another one similar to that is "what do you love most about your work?". Keep up the good work mate!

I'm in the highest difficulty then since i live in France and people here are generally a bit closed/shy, always in a rush, never smile, it is quite sad actually but still I try to engage and some people are quite wonderful like a sunshine after the storm. I believe that ram dass said that you should treat your relationships like a meditation, you discover yourself while discovering another human being, you have to be open and without judgement whatsoever to truly know someone in all their shades. ❤

This is good advice. My stepdad was a master at this. He struck up conversations everywhere. If he had to queue up for something you can guarantee he would start chats to the people. around him, and people responded so positively to him. He made so many friends.
