When your job hinges on how well you talk to people, you learn a lot about how to have great conversations – and most of us don’t converse very well. A great conversation requires a balance between talking and listening. This balance is important because bad communication leads to bad relationships, at home, at work, everywhere.

I’m an introvert. I don’t like ppl
why is the chair on the left twisted 5 degrees CCW?!?! was this a subliminal message of some sort? Maybe the kind of SYMBOLISM you are supposed to understand in movies etc if you are hip enough?
My problem is people only want to talk to me if they want advice. I have become such a good listener that I feel I am being used for this purpose only. People have no interest in listening to me. I know this is my fault as well. I dont go around offering advice either, I’m definitely not one of those people.
The only ONLY Ted talk I have ever listened completely 🙂 . This is good..
I’m pretty sure you just saved a new multi family household.
Thank you so very much.
Life Hint: You should always come away from a conversation having learned something; if anything, Empathy.

I just can’t find any sort of interest in the people around me
Excellent
i hate it when people i hang with are always on their phones like, why are you even here
I can’t talk to people I don’t like.
I appreciate the two guys in the beginning near the front who aren’t scared of talking with people. That’s some toxic stuff right there, and 99% of the room has raised hands. Also, the climate has always changed, and vaccinations can’t be tested, so why inject them into your children? Both are used, at least to an extent to scare people… clearly it’s working, but still hasn’t fooled these two guys. Jesus Christ is The Way, The Truth, and The Life, don’t live scared, follow Jesus Christ, He is Freedom from the bondage of sin! You are important, God Bless you <3
What she say?
Great message, loads of takeaways – thanks!
Amazing what a video! Thanks ted team
It’s funny too many people listen , only long enough to find out what it takes to control the conversation..
Everyone should ” listen ” to this , instead of just hearing it..

If politicians would obey even half of these, they would be better.
Everyone in the audience: “LAUGH – I know right! Why won’t people listen to me? If only everyone else in the world knew this!”
This talk makes me become an open-minded person and I love it so much. Thank you.
