The curse of being a extroverted introvert. You have the need to connect with people, but you are too socially awkward to do it. It's all about finding friends that are extremely patient.
That's a socially awkward extrovert. An introvert is someone who gains energy from being alone and doesn't need people to recharge. An extrovert is someone who needs to connect with people.
@@alsimanche But the main comment said they need people to connect with so extrovert. Their battery recharges with social interactions but they're too awkward to pursue it.
PowerRangerDuelist me too I thought that like I had to carry the conversation and if i was weird it would all be weird and that I had to start everything and they would just respond. I was like wtf really?
I know this comment is 4 years old, but I need to make a comment. Yes, it is a two way street. Unfortunately, most people I talk to, is a one-way street. Where they don't make any effort. They may ask how I am doing, I'll say I did yadda yadda over the weekend. And then they are like, "oh ok that's cool." without telling me if they did anything interesting themselves. Been that way in school, college, and work....
I really feel Steven. I'm also the type of person that is really awkward around people and don't know how to start conversations. It's really hard sometimes but I'm getting a little bit better at making friends since I started college.
Most important lesson I've learnt during the time leading up to life in university was to be comfortable with silence, and that genuine friendships take time to form. Never ask questions for the sake of asking to fill up silence. Show that you're fully invested into the conversation and not looking around helps people to open up naturally :) Much support and from a fellow Chai from Malaysia!
since college I've gotten a lot worse lol. I don't talk to anyone and when someone tries to talk to me i dont know what to do. I've also separated myself from my best friends and now I don't have any friends 😅
Me too! I always feel like if someone is hanging out with me it’s like they’re doing an act of charity, or like they’re doing me a favor rather than a mutually beneficial thing.
they sounded so evil nd judgemental asif they have 'great' personalities and they are just the worst i hate keith and buzzfeed for these no bullying of employees please buzzfeed was so sad I wanted to hug him and be bestfriends with him
The guy has a skill that needs to be developed called social skills, without it, you'll be awkward and ruin flows of the conversations. It's not like they were making fun of him.
I literally went through the same thing that Steven went through as a child. I thought every girl I talked to only did it out of an act of pity and I hated that so I refused to talk to them. I still have this mentality to this day and I think I should start making a change.
i am getting so much anxiety just from watching him but also him getting coached through it is applicable like thank you?? i love this steven is best boy 13/10
Steven has never come off to me as an awkward person. Even now, his "awkwardness" seems completely normal to me. He seems like just a generally cool guy. Maybe it's different when he's off camera?
I thought similar; the attention , support, commitment to practise just for practise not for real takes pressure off. There are playful elements, like playacting. Much easier than irl. Still he is doing well!
He’s quite the opposite of awkward. He’s more open and talkative than most people. Unless some people do that to deal with awkwardness because I’d expect an awkward person to talk less.
Going through this experience was life-changing, but not in the way I thought it would be at the beginning of the week. I'm still the same introverted and awkward guy, but the biggest change was learning how to respond in moments where I would normally shut down. My favorite line of the whole video is this: "becoming more social doesn't have to mean becoming someone else." It means being authentic to yourself and the people around you!
+Steven Lim im gonna cry i loved this. based on test friends videos & stuff i genuinely would have never guessed that you weren't super comfortable around new people tbh
+Steven Lim Well said Steven. You're so good in your vlogs though so I'm surprised you find it hard to make friends. This will help a lot of people I'm sure, including myself, thanks for doing this :)
+Steven Lim I found this video extremely informative! I feel awkward even thinking about talking to a person and hopefully this video helps me be more social without feeling anxious. Great job Steven!
I have anxiety and I wish I had guts to do something like this! Good luck Steven! xoxo, the girl who still eats lunch in the bathroom alkn and is in college
+~KawaiiKitty~ Awww I wanna cry lol I'm a freshman girl in college too and so many nights are spent alone in my dorm. lol I don't mind a lot of the time but sometimes it sucks. I've really been trying to put myself out there though, and it's been working lately although it's so hard! I still don't have a solid group of friends but I a have a few pretty good ones and I'm sure I'll make more in time.
You think it helps but it really doesn't. Pick a local event and go to it you'll be surprised as to how much fun you will have, whether or not you actually make any friends.
When I think of going and talk to someone I think that they are going to think that im weird and like "why is she talking to us" but if a person comes up to me I would be so happy to talk to them...but at the same time I dont know what to talk about and I always feel social awkward
That's why when I introduce myself to someone I asked them their name but I don't offer my name I wait for them to ask me because I imagine that when I say my name is so and so they will be thinking so who cares?
Even Kelsey who seemed to be the most carefree, confident girl, seemed very awkward when she said hello to Steven. That right there is where you feel isolated, because someone who appears to be able to get on with anybody seems uncomfortable around you.
The key you need to realize here Steven is that awkward folk tend to make very good friends with other awkward folk. It's just difficult to find them for obvious reasons... Being awkward is the biggest part of what makes you, YOU. Thus you relate and befriend other people in which the largest part of them is alike to the largest part of you.
+NDHatley1 I disagree, I'm super awkward which is why I need someone who's really talkative to be my friend and start conversations. Imagine the awkward silences if both people dont really talk
+Serreh Yeah no that me too. I actually grew up really shy and even though it really takes a lot of effort for me to be outgoing. Now a lot of people think of me as extremely confident and I am, but it was not simple getting here and it took me many years. I think that why I always tend to feel attracted to awkward people because I understand their situation. So now I'm the outgoing friend that helps my other friends get out of their shell and tbh they really have.
That's what I really like about Steven, he knows his weakness but instead hiding it, he's putting himself out there and turn that weakness into a learning experience! Mad respect to that guy,
I really need to challenge myself like this in real life. I have this weird mental thing where I think people won't relate to me so I don't really try much :/ The blonde guy that hung out with him at home seems like such a good guy!
I used to think (and I think I do that even now) the same. I used to challenge myself to talking to more people so I could make more friends, because I thought negative about my social skills , but now I don't really do those challenges anymore. I lost motivation or smth even tho i know I want to make more friends. Probably I have evolved but I don't realize that, or there aren't that many situations?...
Start with taking yourself out to lunch or dinner. If you drive,bike or walk only have to talk to waiter if take Uber or taxi will have to do little bit of talking.
For me it's the opposite. It's easiest if there is a purpose. Easy - Bar (because people are there to socialize) Medium - Invite someone over Hard - Get to know your friend crush Very Hard - talk to a stranger
The life coach was good, but *Keith* was even better, because Keith isn't a life coach, *Keith IS* life :) I'm surprised *Steven* finds it hard to make friends though, he seems like he'd be so good at it in his vlogs!
Havent watch buzzfeed in awhile. Comparing to this and to who he is now with the Worth it segment, his self esteem and confidence really boosted up. He likes himself better now. So happy for Steven!
I really liked that people were so honest about their thoughts on Steven at the beginning. It was probably more helpful to him than people just being nice.
I thought at the beginning he hired Keith as a life coach

The curse of being a extroverted introvert. You have the need to connect with people, but you are too socially awkward to do it. It's all about finding friends that are extremely patient.
I am like that too
I'm introverted but I can manage with just a few friends
That's a socially awkward extrovert. An introvert is someone who gains energy from being alone and doesn't need people to recharge. An extrovert is someone who needs to connect with people.

I lost motivation or smth even tho i know I want to make more friends. Probably I have evolved but I don't realize that, or there aren't that many situations?...
Start with taking yourself out to lunch or dinner. If you drive,bike or walk only have to talk to waiter if take Uber or taxi will have to do little bit of talking.
Steven is me
same
i am a lonely guy
can we talk with each other
keith : walk upto somebody, say something very inconsequential.
steven : like i love you. :D
looollll
I get an extreme fuzzy feeling seeing Zachary being really nice to Steve.
Same...when he told him: "I became a fan of you" I felt as if I were Steven and I was so relieved xD
"slowly"
Holy schnitzel that was lovely I wanna be friends with u
Amy omf ily
Yoooo Amy
AMEHHHH
MOMMY
Me toooo
I can start a conversation but the thing is, I can't keep a conversation going.
same
How do you start it?? Wtf?
The opposite here. I find it difficult to start a conversation, but easy to keep it going.
I just don't know what to say to people in general xD
OMW I have the opposite problem!
"say something very inconsequential"
"like i love you?"
omgosh I never knew that he was actually that awkward , Steve is such a cool dude though
Shyly admitting that he wants to be friends with Zach is the most pure thing I have witnessed in this world.
I saw protip I was scared to come to comments
Same
PROTIP
+Anna-Florence Williams Same... PROTIP
Same.
+Anna-Florence Williams I got the reference
I wish I didn't
but I did
For me it's the opposite. It's easiest if there is a purpose.
Easy - Bar (because people are there to socialize)
Medium - Invite someone over
Hard - Get to know your friend crush
Very Hard - talk to a stranger
"I just assume that everybody hates ppl like I do" 😂
Me me me me me
The life coach was good, but *Keith* was even better, because Keith isn't a life coach, *Keith IS* life :) I'm surprised *Steven* finds it hard to make friends though, he seems like he'd be so good at it in his vlogs!
***** Hello Raven :)
I just put my hand around random kids I don't know at all and say "wassup best friend" their reaction is always priceless :3
Magemaster Buu Whatever works for you, we all have our own way :)
Lol u got here late this time
2592Eminem Haha, I wasn't that late. I was just getting trolled by a commenter, but sorted it now :)
imagine watching a video of your coworkers calling you weird
Hahahahaha
ikr that's fucked up :/ lol
+Caroline Patterson :(
+Caroline Patterson ikr......
I know!!
Havent watch buzzfeed in awhile. Comparing to this and to who he is now with the Worth it segment, his self esteem and confidence really boosted up. He likes himself better now. So happy for Steven!
The problem is... I don't know how to start or continue a conversation. It takes me too much time to think of one and I just gave up trying.
same
+Kyle Tan omgg kookie!
Then you just st stand their awkwardly, i hate being unsocial lol
+Kyle Tan ik this feel way too much
Just start making them feel awkward for not trying to continue the conversation. That's what they're probably doing to you.
HE'S SO CUTE AWWW
RIGHT
THATS WHAT I SAID
Now he has the most successful show on Buzzfeed. Inspiring and proud.
"I got beer! You like beer?"
"Yeh I do!"
"I actually don't like beer."
Steven, never change.
OMG *WHISPERS ZACK EVANS* I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
Hi soup
You have no idea how many times I want to like this commet
Natasha Johnson hehe :D
his interaction with zack was so cute!!
Mexicana?
+Toto Babu why does that matter????
+Maria Centeno Wow chill haha he's just asking if you are, I'm a mexican too, you just say "Yes I am!"
+zenku41 I was just asking why it had to do with anything. But I'm not Mexican
Literally what I was thinking through the video
'I actually don't like beer. Do you have a bottle opener? I don't'
Georgia H HAHAHA sooooo awkward
Georgia H I was so done when I heard that! 😂☠️
I really liked that people were so honest about their thoughts on Steven at the beginning. It was probably more helpful to him than people just being nice.
Yes feedback is so key! Sometimes we don't know what we don't know
my problem is I used to be social and outgoing... Then I got in a bad relationship and now I can't seem to make friends!
same!
This is me D:
I know the feeling very well
me too
me too. and it's worse because I used to work at a call center (which is awful) so now I have so much anxiety with the phone too.
