Reducing Your Filter

The reason we are often afraid to say certain things or act in certain ways is because weā€™re afraid of others reacting negatively. This fear often leads to small talk and results in conversations that truly donā€™t matter.

If you donā€™t really filter yourself in a conversation and say what actually matters to you with no regard to how strange it is, others will perceive you as someone who doesnā€™t care about society and as such will feel safer to tell you things theyā€™d been bottling up.

How To Reduce Your Filter

One easy way to start reducing your filter is to share something considered to be sort of unusual in a conversation.

For example: squatting on top of a toilet to do your business.

Be aware that whether youā€™re perceived as someone with a reduced filter or someone crazy depends on your perceived value.

Your value can be increased through things such as having proper hygiene, having a decent amount of friends, dressing decently well, being in decent shape, being able to hold eye contact, etc.

Learn To Ask The Right Questions

Learn To Ask The Right Questions

Once you convince them that youā€™re someone they can open up to, you have to ask them the right questions.

Assumption questions are especially powerful and are when you make an assumption of someone based on an observation and see if itā€™s true or not. This shows them that you are really listening and causes them to instinctively want to react.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
