I connect better with people in person. Getting to know someone through texting sucks, but it seems thats the 5 way to start conversations with people online. Even if i am introduced by a friend to a girl. It starts with texting and its not the same.
Very good video and I 100% agree. I am noticing this now as I am older and began doing the self improvement due to an injury I had. I have noticed I have this, the part you said at the end about growing up at home and not having the ability to do that. I'm not sure how I came across your video but I'm glad it did. I began taking care of my health better and physical well being and struggle even as an introvert when I have had many people come up to me and initiate interest and conversations. I'm currently learning due to the death of my grandfather recently that I became aware that I have an attitude problem as well and that is just the worst paired combo with social anxiety. Is there anything you recommend we should start adding or doing elsewhere? I have joined a fitness program class and try to connect with them as well, I walk the park and go out and eat mostly by myself due to this too because most of my old friends don't share the same interests as older men now on the importance of taking care of one's self more.. definitely feels like a loner lifestyle if I may say so myself.
there are people with which I connect instantly, and others nada, zilch. What I found out about myself is that I'm an emotional empath. If a person has a prejudice about me, or just doesn't like me, I feel his/her awkwardness and it kind of paralyzes me. I can stand with such a person for 30 minutes in the same room and not say one word.
