As an naturally inclined introvert the "small interactions" skill has been a game changer for me. There are so many opportunities during my day for these and I used to avoid them. Then you kinda build on those bit by bit..day by day and you build a very valuable skill.

This video has earned a like from me. Some books take hours to get a simple point across for extra pages. This one did it very efficiently. Each section got right to the point, explained each concept, provided a brief explanation, then moved on. Excellent!

I’ve tried a few of these ways of talking to people— most of them fall flat, ... it seems as if most people don’t want to be bothered or they act as if you’re inconveniencing them or there’s some “ reason “ you’re trying to talk to them— or whereas in the past, it was considered sweet or endearing that you tried to talk to them— Now you’re considered “lame”

Making small talk with baristas, waiters, shop assistants and other people in similar positions is super rude. Imagine you have to serve hundreds of people a day. Imagine everyone asks you how is your day going. Jesus Christ.
