13. How to be more social and make friends easily

In this episode…

Teun is “effortlessly socially confident”. And it’s likely not what you think it is. Teun is a good friend I met while living in Chiang Mai. He’s someone who embodies “effortless social confidence”.

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.

He 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

Expert’s bio:

While Teun took only took 2 years of counselling in the Netherlands, and is not a psychologist, healer or therapists like the other guests on this show… 

… he is an expert at socialising, making friends, and creating an awesome social life.

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

He embodies “effortless social confidence” and is the perfect guy to talk to when it comes to meeting new people and creating an awesome social life.

Quoting Expert:

“ 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.”
