http://mindpersuasion.com/ Once you get rid of all the imaginary boundaries between you and others, interacting socially is easy, fun and profitable.

1. Eliminate Social Friction

2. When I was a kid we went to this small
amusement park.

3. It had these long slides that required
piece of cloth.

4. Otherwise, you wouldn't slide very
fast, and if you were wearing shorts
and caught your skin on the plastic, it
didn't feel so good.

5. If you've ever been on a big water
slide, you know much faster you can
go when much of the friction
(between you and the slide) is
removed.

6. When I was in Junior High School, they
talked about a frictionless puck (which
was quickly transformed into
bathroom humor by all the kids),
because talking about friction made
everything more complicated.

7. Air hockey is so much fun because you
can hit that puck pretty fast, due to the
small cushion of air it's resting on.

8. In Japan, they have the mag-lev trains,
which can go really, really quickly as
there's no friction between the train
and the track.

9. And the front of the "bullet trains"
actually look like bullets, as they are
designed for minimum air resistance.

10. Friction is everywhere. And billions are
spent trying to minimize it.

11. In games, in amusement parks, in
transportation, inside every single
engine.

12. Humans have friction between each
other as well. (And I'm not talking
about THAT kind of friction that only
happens when the clothes come off!)

13. There's that social friction that is
ALWAYS there.

14. That uncomfortable tension, the small
gaps in conversations that seem to last
forever.

15. That invisible but powerful force field
between you and your boss, or you
and that attractive person across the
room.

16. How do you reduce THAT kind of
friction?

17. One way is how you start the
conversation.

18. Start off by making it easy on them.
Use simple statements that are easy to
agree with. Pacing statements, as they
are called in hypnosis.

19. Just mention a few things that MUST
be true.

20. Get them thinking in terms of "uh-huh,
uh-huh..."

21. Ease your way into the conversation,
making it easy for them to see your
perspective.

22. Spend some time building rapport.

23. Another way is to simply get rid of all
your inner fears and anxieties.

24. No matter how well you hide them
(and hide from them) they are there.

25. And they send off a subtle signal that
others can pick up on, subconsciously.

26. This is why some people seem really
friendly, and some people don't, yet
nobody can really put there finger on
why.

27. When you eliminate all that inner chit
chat and doubt that often comes up
before any social interaction, you'll
also remove a lot of that friction.

28. This is the definition of charisma.

29. Somebody who just shows up, and the
work is done.

30. People already feel in rapport with
them. People have already decided
they are friendly and interesting.

31. People have already decided, on a
deep subconscious level, that
whatever they are going to say is likely
going to be pretty interesting.

32. YOU can be that person.
