[quote=Anonymous]Yup, you can develop it. I’m able to do it, despite having social anxiety. What I learned to do: 1. Vary the pitch, cadence, and tone of your speech. I have to consciously do this because I get monotone from the anxiety. 2. Imagine a character or person you know and act like them. I have a specific movie character I pretend to be. 3. Honestly you can get through 90% of a conversation just by repeating the last few words a person says. Example: Larla: I’m so tired, I barely slept last night! You: oh no! You barely slept last night? Larla: yea the baby was kicking me in the ribs all night You: kicking you in the ribs, omg, I remember those days! Larla: yea, and then she was ready to party at 3am You: Oh man, she’s up partying at 3am? Larla: yup, I don’t even know how I’m functioning right now You: well you look great! Tell me your secret, how ARE you functioning because I can’t even tell you were up all night! Larla: Coffee, just lots and lots of coffee. [/quote]
