Transcript of The Secret to Making New Friends | Mel Robbins #Shorts

What about vulnerability? Does that make you more likable? Yes. Okay, so I think there's a misconception that to be likable, you have to be perfect, or you have to be impressive. Vulnerability is one of the fastest ways to show likability. We know no one is perfect. We know this. And we also know that if someone is trying to impress us, they might be trying to cover something up, but also approaching them with your vulnerability. So being at a wedding, trying to make friends, saying to someone, I'm starving. Even a little vulnerability. When I'm trying to make friends, when I'm uncomfortable at a loud nightclub or a loud bar, I'm like, My feet are killing me. Are yours? I think that sharing some of our fears, some of our weaknesses, that is actually a way to make everyone feel like themselves.
