How to befriend any stranger.

Easy method to build respect based friendships with new people.

PS: Don't read if you feel bad about manipulating people.

-Thread-

Before we start, what you need to know is that there are two types of strangers:

-Those bothered by you

-Those who are willing to talk to you

In both cases, the first seconds of making contact are crucial.

Here is how you should approach both.
First thing you need to realize, is that while you're only practicing your social skills

The person in front has absolutely no interest or reason to listen to you.

This is why it is of paramount importance NOT to talk about yourself.

Make them feel comfortable.
Before we get to what you will say and how.

Let's focus on body language.

To trigger anyone's curiosity, you should convey a confident and reassuring vibe.

Your posture should be showing confidence without intimidating your interlocutor.
How can your body language express positive vibes?

- Straight back
- Wide shoulders
- Pumped chest (dont over do it)
- Genuine smile
- Stay at least a meter away from the person, you want to show interest but you want them to come to you
The eye contact:

It is important to NEVER be the one that breaks eye contact.

Look at them in the eyes with (a fake yet) genuine interest

Make them feel like you want to hear what they have to say without seeming threatening or intimidating
The talk:

Do not talk about yourself.

They don't know you, so they don't care.

Yet.

Never affirm firmly with a stranger.

Ask open ended questions to force the person to talk about themselves

PS: Do not be intrusive, stay superficial, make them say more than necessary
Having go to stories and topics makes it easier to navigate through social interactions

You can bounce back on anything your interlocutor says if you have go-to stories

Prepare a few, whether search for them on Internet or think of your past experiences

Be relatable.
Once the person tells you enough (or too much) about themselves

They'll automatically and subconsciously trust you.

This is what you want.

It's time to cut it short.

Go away. Make them come back to you.

The one that is overly insisting has no value.

Dont be that guy.

How to instantly stop being depressed.

If you're currently depressed and you're seeing this tweet,

THIS is your lucky day.

-Thread-

If you are already following me you probably have already read the thread below,

If not, start there and come back


The ONE thing you need to do is let go.

Except letting go is never easy.

In order to do it, there is no choice but to face everything.

My favorite method is pen and paper.

Write down EXACTLY what is making you feel depressed.

Visualize your demons.

Once you write down everything, it is time to think about a very simple question

What can I do about each of these stuff that is bothering me?

If you can do something about it, put a check.

If you can't do anything, leave it blank. We'll get back to this.

Now for all the stuff you can fix,

Define exactly what you should do to get it done.

Explicitly write what you need to do to stop worrying about this and that.

Fix a deadline.

You now have goals.

Achieve them.
