WEBVTT - Are Your Awkward at Parties? Try This Hack

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Just kiss FM. I just want to speak to anybody

0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:05.960
<v Speaker 1>that kind of like me. I'm not amazing When I

0:00:05.960 --> 0:00:08.160
<v Speaker 1>walk into a room of people at a party, like,

0:00:08.240 --> 0:00:09.600
<v Speaker 1>I want to find the one person I know, and

0:00:09.640 --> 0:00:10.760
<v Speaker 1>I usually stick to them.

0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:13.480
<v Speaker 2>And if I walk talking, I know, I know you do.

0:00:13.720 --> 0:00:16.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't. I completely agree with you.

0:00:17.079 --> 0:00:19.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm fine in situations like this, But if I walk

0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:21.439
<v Speaker 1>into a room full of people and I don't really

0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:23.040
<v Speaker 1>know anyone at a party, I want to find one

0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:24.320
<v Speaker 1>person I know and just talk to them.

0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:27.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Like I don't really work the room.

0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:29.520
<v Speaker 1>I do work the room, but I find it like

0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:31.600
<v Speaker 1>it's work, Like it's not natural for me.

0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:35.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't. It's interesting because I do see you work

0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:38.360
<v Speaker 2>the room sometimes, So that doesn't work. That's working.

0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:41.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm working the room deliberately, try and do it. Yeah,

0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:42.640
<v Speaker 1>because I am so good at it.

0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:46.279
<v Speaker 2>Well, thank you, But but you see it because it's

0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:50.560
<v Speaker 2>he's treating it like a job. Yeah, that is very interesting.

0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:52.000
<v Speaker 2>It's just like giving a toast.

0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:53.959
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm I can talk here on the fly,

0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:55.319
<v Speaker 1>but like giving a toast, I want to make sure

0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:56.680
<v Speaker 1>it's good and meaningful and right, and so I get

0:00:56.680 --> 0:00:57.240
<v Speaker 1>nervous about that.

0:00:57.320 --> 0:00:59.440
<v Speaker 2>But anyway. I bring this up because of all this.

0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:02.840
<v Speaker 1>So if you have the same problem at walking to

0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:05.400
<v Speaker 1>room at a party, they say, keep one of your

0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:07.520
<v Speaker 1>hands free at all times. It's easier to talk and

0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:10.240
<v Speaker 1>meet with people if you're holding things, like if you're

0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:13.360
<v Speaker 1>holding food and a drink, don't have food in one

0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:16.039
<v Speaker 1>hand drink in the other. They say that people avoid

0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:19.480
<v Speaker 1>talking to fellow partygoers whose hands are full and they're like,

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:22.280
<v Speaker 1>you got too much on, You got too much going on.

0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:26.039
<v Speaker 1>You can't even like shake or fist bump hello. It

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:28.800
<v Speaker 1>sends a message that you don't care about anyone there

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:29.560
<v Speaker 1>and want to meet anyone.

0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:32.759
<v Speaker 2>Oh, because you're like closed off. There's nothing open, there's

0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:34.520
<v Speaker 2>nothing open. It's interesting, It's true.

0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Like if you think about if you're holding a pig

0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:39.840
<v Speaker 1>and a blanket and a cocktail, it's hard to approach you.

0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:45.040
<v Speaker 2>A pig in a blanket is so good. Wow.

0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:46.840
<v Speaker 1>We used to have them in the freezer when I

0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:49.800
<v Speaker 1>was a kid growing up for ball games. Pop him

0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:54.480
<v Speaker 1>into the toaster, oven and blanket your pig. Today's quote

0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 1>just a little fun fact there. Today's quote. If it

0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:01.080
<v Speaker 1>won't matter in five years, don't I don't spend more

0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:06.480
<v Speaker 1>than five minutes worrying about it, If it won't matter

0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:08.720
<v Speaker 1>in five years, forget it, move on.

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:10.840
<v Speaker 2>It's one of two point seven
