I used to get really nervous every time I had to strike up a conversation. So, I decided to try out around 30 different psychology tricks — everything from power posing to subtle facial expressions.

Some of them actually worked, while others just made me feel a bit ridiculous. But overall, I’ve definitely gained a lot more confidence now.

If anyone’s interested, I jotted down all my findings in a little guide for myself.

I’m still figuring out the best way to share it without coming off like a salesperson — but I’d be more than happy to send a copy to anyone who wants it. Just let me know!

        That… doesn’t really explain anything, but good luck anyway.

          I think they’re implying that they were looking for the community that would reach the most people.
