- So, Neil, do you like spending time with friends?0:41
- Yeah, I love spending time with my friends.0:44
- If I don't see my friends very often, often, I feel a bit sad and lonely.0:48
- So yeah, I really like seeing my friends, but I don't get to see them very often because, you know,0:54
- we're grown -ups and we have responsibilities.1:01
- You have kids, you have lots of things going on.1:04
- I also like spending time with my friends.1:07
- I have lots of friends.1:10
- As I said, I've had a lot of social plans lately.1:11
- Pretty much every day I've been socialising.1:14
- Wow.1:16
- So, you like socialising, but do you like things like parties or do you prefer smaller social events?1:17
- I do really like big parties because I like meeting new people.1:25
- I like dancing as well.1:31
- So at big parties, usually there's some music.1:33
- But I do have a shy side of my personality.1:37
- So usually a smaller event is better for me so I can have kind of deeper conversations with fewer people.1:41
- How about you?1:50
- Yeah, I don't really like that situation where you're at a party and don't know lots of people.1:51
- So a small group of people that I mainly know and there's one or two people who I don't know.1:59
- know so well, that's fine.2:06
- But a bigger group with lots of people I don't know, I really don't like that.2:08
- And why is that?2:14
- Is that because you don't like small talk?2:15
- Yeah, I don't really like small talk.2:19
- It feels a bit empty.2:22
- Small talk is conversations about things that aren't important, like the weather, usually with people that you don't know very2:25
- well.2:34
- Yeah.2:34
- And you don't like that?2:35
- No, I find it awkward.2:36
- So, Georgie, you like meeting new people.2:39
- Do you feel embarrassed at all or are you completely fine with that?2:43
- Oh, I think it depends.2:47
- I think if you find a topic quite quickly that you have in common, that avoids embarrassment.2:49
- But it's when you meet someone new, you don't know them very well obviously because they're new and you don't2:58
- know what they like or don't like or what they think is rude or not rude um but if you3:05
- can figure that out quite quickly it's yeah it's usually okay do you usually feel quite embarrassed then sometimes like3:11
- you said it depends if you find something that you have in common and you can talk about that sometimes3:21
- you don't find something in common and then it's really, I don't know, embarrassing I suppose.3:28
- Ooh, I feel strange just thinking about it.3:35
- You obviously, you like parties, you like socialising, but do you like spending time alone?3:39
- I get more energy from spending time alone and relaxing and not talking to anyone.3:45
- I often get what I call social burnout, which means you just get exhausted from spending too much time with3:52
- others.4:00
- How about you?4:01
- Well, yeah, spending time alone is also important and I like to do that but not so much, not as4:02
- much as maybe spending time with people because like I said before if I'm alone for too long I get4:15
- a bit lonely and feel a bit, I don't know, just lacking energy.4:22
- Let's recap the vocabulary we heard in this podcast, starting with socialise, which means to spend time with friends or4:33
- other people to enjoy yourself.4:41

- So we had embarrassed, which means feeling ashamed or shy.4:59
- And we also heard awkward, which means feeling uncomfortable when you're meeting new people.5:04
- We also heard in common.5:09
