  1. What a great read! I too thought a lot of these things were just me and that others don’t get as nervous in social situations. I was told the other day that I always seem so ‘perfect and put together’ which really just emphasizes the point that I am scared to make mistakes. I have definitely hidden away my insecurities from people in the thought that it is not focusing on the positives, and also the fear of being judged. I can relate to not thinking that I sound smart enough because of the anxiety and that leads to me cutting off conversations or saying unnecessary dumb stuff to fill in silences. I am going to now make a conscious effort to focus on the other person and also share my insecurities with people so that I can seem a little more relatable. Thank you for your help!

  3. Thanks for the vid! I do get nervous when I talk to new people as well as most people who have authority. I’m really trying to change this about myself because I’m noticing that it’s affecting my relationships as well as how I carry myself. I see potential in your program so definitely excited!

  4. Thank you for sharing this! I’m always having a hard time focusing to what the person I converse with tries to tell me and to what I should say next when the conversation is ongoing. Hearing from you made me think maybe I could calm down a bit next time. This is very helpful! ?

  8. Thank you, David. I will definitely try this techniqu next time I go to one of my meet up groups. I am finding that I have a very hard time engaging with people, as well as in keeping a conversation going, as I have severe social anxiety and a general lack of social skills. Im looking for word to the rest of your emails. Again, thanks so much!!

  10. I’m lying in bed (on a Saturday night)- no social life and have just watched your experiment video OFC and found it fascinating and helpful. Craving more of this sort of help so look forward to your emails. I feel empty with nothing to give and I am not comfortable with myself. I hope you can help me.

  11. I really like this simple, and normal way to become engaged in a conversation with someone that I had previously not known. I plan to use OFC in situations beginning later today. Thank you

  12. I’m a little younger than the audience this is targeted towards and being in middle school is hard enough. I recently started my first year at my new school and what’s so hard is that the kids there are…how do I say…just more outgoing and more of a ‘pose for snapchat/trendsetters’ while I and my old friends are more of a weird, quirky type.
    This is especially hard because my crush is part of these people. They all just say things and people laugh. And I can’t be funny because all my jokes were for people of my, I guess, a metaphorical ‘social class’ not the actual social class though. I’m very timid and I want to find a way to stand out more. I don’t want to say awkward things that make them say “that’s not funny” or stare at me. They are troublemakers and don’t care about grades type, while I don’t aspire to be the ‘don’t care about school type’, I want to attract people to me. Usually making conversation ends in awkward silence, because I can’t find anything else to talk about.
    I need to be more charismatic and charming I think, if you could help, that’d be great.
