Online Event: Practice Social Skills in a Fun Way

If making new friends feels harder than it should—or if you’re looking for a low-pressure way to improve your social confidence—this online event might be just what you need. “Let’s Friend’em: Speed Friending Virtually” is a 90-minute session built around simple yet surprisingly effective social activities. Whether you’re feeling rusty with your people skills or simply want to meet someone new, this format makes it easier to show up and connect.

Rather than throwing strangers into a Zoom room and hoping for the best, the event gives structure to every step. You'll rotate through small breakout rooms on Google Hangouts, usually in groups of three. Each rotation introduces a new activity, giving you something clear—and often fun—to do with the people you’re meeting. You’ll find yourself playing, thinking, talking, and maybe even laughing a little more than expected.

Some of the exercises will feel familiar. Others might push you to think or act in ways you wouldn’t normally do in a casual chat. That’s the point. The goal here isn’t to impress anyone—it’s to practice being social in an environment that’s built for ease, creativity, and human connection.

Feel More Comfortable in Conversations

Most of us want to get better at connecting with others, but typical social situations don’t make it easy. You're often left guessing about what to say next or how to break the ice. This event removes that guesswork completely.

The activities are designed to simulate real-life conversations, but in a way that feels guided and thoughtful. You’re not just making small talk—you’re doing something alongside others, which helps make the interaction feel more natural and relaxed.

Even the weirder or more playful moments serve a purpose. They loosen things up, reduce self-consciousness, and remind you that not every conversation has to follow a script. A little awkwardness is okay. In fact, it’s part of what makes these interactions real.

If you're someone who often overthinks what to say or worries about coming off a certain way, this event can be a welcome change of pace. The structure makes space for everyone to participate without pressure.

Who Should Join

This event is open to anyone looking to build social skills, make new friends, or try something different from the usual online hangouts. You don’t have to be a social butterfly—or even close. If you’re introverted, anxious, neurodivergent, or simply tired of one-sided chats, you’ll probably find the environment refreshing.

The group activities take the pressure off and give you something specific to focus on. That makes it easier to be yourself without needing to “perform” in conversation. And if you’re just there to see how it feels, that’s okay too.

Tips to Get the Most Out of It

• Test your setup ahead of time. Make sure your camera, mic, and internet connection are all working before the event starts.
• Try to keep your camera on. Seeing faces makes conversations easier and adds a sense of presence.
• Pick a quiet place. Fewer distractions make it easier to focus and feel grounded in the conversation.
• Go in with curiosity. Some exercises may feel a little out of the ordinary, but that’s what makes the event work.
• Be yourself. You don’t need to impress anyone. Just show up, participate, and see what happens.

This is a great opportunity to connect with others in a way that feels safe, lighthearted, and open. And who knows? You might walk away from it feeling a little more confident the next time you meet someone new.

Platforms like Vinfluencer AI offer a similar kind of practice, letting you explore how you connect with others in low-stakes, friendly ways. Speed friending is a real-time version of that idea—interactive, guided, and surprisingly low-pressure.
