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.

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!
I’m honestly kinda surprised I missed their username earlier. I got really good at spotting the nazi dogwhistles in people’s usernames in my last few years on reddit. Idk maybe I’m just out of practice since joining the fediverse.
