  1. I’m new to this..I have (always) even from childhood seemed to end up attracting friends who have been bullying and self-centred and people that only want to talk about themselves and narsissistic people I look forward to upcoming emails and thankyou.

  2. It’s just I’m awkward in general, people at my school think I’m awkward and mean. Which in reality, I am an awkward person. That’s why I don’t have a lot of friends, the mean part is what I don’t get because usually I’m super nice. Just social things aren’t my fort-a which is becoming an issue. Even my step mom is saying watch out for me because I’m just not a fun person to hang out with. Kids at my school avoid me because I’m just not a fun person to hang out. I’m missing so much because of this, and honestly, I lost all hope. I’d hope this will help me, it didn’t, I’m just too far out to every fix. It’s not your fault, it’s mine

    • I think your problem is that you don’t accept your self. You know you are super nice but you still doubt.
      You don’t actually let people know how really nice you are, because you feel awkward being yourself.
      I think if you are yourself with people, atleast you will be genuine. And there’s no way to be accepted all the time from all kinds of people,so it’s OK being yourself.
      Express yourself,your values and interests when you talk to people and share them with people.
      That way you will find someone who really appreciates your personality and likes being with you.

  5. Thank you. I enjoyed your video.
    It makes me wonder if you’ve ever worked with adults who have Selective (Situational) Mutism? My hunch is that you could make such a terrific difference in their life.

  9. This video was actually really groundbreaking for me! I was professionally diagnosed with autism, and most of the “intervention” that I received revolved around making me think all the time about what other people thought of me. Not only did I develop horrific social anxiety, but I always felt like I was never getting anywhere with anyone. Now I realize why; I was getting bad information. I was being “anti-coached”. The stuff you said in this video is, in my uneducated opinion, what we should be teaching autistic people of all ages. Trust that I will take what I learnt here to heart, and hopefully get more success out of it than I ever did before in the past.

  11. I found this by reasearching how to insert yourself into conversation as an exercise from my counselor.
    I also have an upcoming conversation I’m really nervous about, basically the first time I’ll be talking with a dude, just us at a place.
    I’m going to try this method when I meet with him, to see if it’ll help things go easier.

  12. I will see in the coming days how this will help me to interact with people and how it will make me not avoid talking in front of other people
