How to be more social and make friends e...

SEBASTIAAN VAN DER SCHRIER
About this episode

Teun is "effortlessly socially confident". And it's likely not what you think it is. Teun is a friend I met while living in Chiang Mai. He's someone who embodies "effortless social confidence" and I've personally learned a lot from him, just by spending time with him. 

In this interview I'm asking him questions to get into his mindset, to uncover his beliefs, to see why he's so comfortable with himself, and what he does (strategies, what to say, what to do, etc) to make friends easily and have a great time socially.

Teun is someone who's traveled to a wide variety of countries, traveled from the Netherlands to India in a red disabled car (that only goes 45km per hour!), lived in various countries, and has an amazing social life with friends all over the world.

In this interview Teun shares:

  • How he meets new people
  • The one simple questions he asks when meeting someone new that's low key, no-pressure and easy
  • The easiest way to makes friends naturally
  • How he deals with disapproval
  • How he starts creating a new social life from scratch
  • What website to use to make friends easily

QUOTE: People don't judge you on on situation or one comment you make. If people do this, they're not the kind of people you want in your life.
