Are You Likeable? | Easy German 643

I think I might always feel great joy when I meet someone And this joy which is likely visible hopefully makes me likable Yes we hope so too because now we can once again share this joy with people on the street We want to know what makes people likable Let's go What do you do right that makes people think hey this guy's genuinely likable You have to radiate positivity—yes shine from within simply smile at people and you'll always get a smile in return Smiling kindly at people helps that's true Yes and be open—open to other people yes kind too Just that friendly glance That friendly demeanor I think that's just my personality—I can truly appreciate small joys and am someone who thinks positively The glass is half full with me not half empty Both of you are clearly very likable people How do you manage that What makes you so genuinely likable We're happy Yes yes that's clear I just think I'd rather wake up in the morning with a smile it makes me feel better And maybe if I connect with someone else and they smile at me I’d find that just a bit nicer You seem like a very likable person to me What’s the secret What makes you so likable That's very kind of you to say I think that's just my natural vibe the way I carry myself through life I'm happy so I truly believe I'm happy right now You have a very likable face May I stand with you Of course What makes you so likable The openness That says it all You're open-minded which means you also approach others with openness I hope so And I hope you do too Me too totally I've always been the sunshine in the family And doesn't that feel almost forced on you Yes I think I have three sisters I'm the only one for whom it's like that I'd say just be helpful open-minded and kind to everyone I just practice pure hygiene—I'm not from Berlin and that's precisely why I'm an open friendly person I can only confirm that We've tested it many times in Düsseldorf and it's true And I'm trying it with you because you're clearly a very likable person Why No not really Why Because life becomes so much more enjoyable when you share kindness with one another Yes because you give out and also get even more back right Yes sometimes I'm apparently unsympathetic and everyone thinks I'm a jerk Yes they do that to me sometimes too so there's nothing you can do about it You can even be quite likable and they’ll still think you’re dumb—I learned that too And when in what situation do you feel most truly like yourself If I could just stay home I'd have peace and quiet no obligations and everything would be perfect When I'm out with friends for example with my girlfriend right now here Exactly we can just talk about topics that interest you chat freely from the heart Exactly when you don't have to put on a show I feel it for example at home or in front of my partner or friends When I eat something really delicious Me too yes I think if I do sports that I enjoy like skiing for example Probably when I'm alone in the shower Toll Yes if you're intimate Are you singing with the showerhead Yes especially with the devil Fantastic me too In what situations do you feel completely relaxed and fully yourself When I have a glass of wine and smoke a cigarette I really feel like a newcomer to Munich sitting in a beer garden somewhere in the city enjoying the company of kind people and connecting with strangers and just enjoying a nice cozy beer Honestly I feel like myself when I'm with people I love and who love me back and where I know for certain I won’t be condemned for who I am And exactly that one doesn’t have to hide either Yes and that you can also catch each other when falling Yes really when I'm in nature Yes there you are simply yourself Exactly—uninterrupted and focused down to the essentials so to speak Oh when I'm working I'm performing in theater When I'm playing I'm just myself And when I'm truly relaxed when I'm with people where I can relax and realize oh now I truly feel at ease But that's interesting because when you portray a character in theater Then you shouldn't feel like yourself at all That's the absurdity of theater—the performance that other role of mine is my true self That's just the crazy part yes Totally impressive you've got to be able to do that you probably have to practice it for a long time That's when I feel truly like myself Honestly right now at home at my computer just working on some music And in social settings in bars or just out on the street with my friends—there I feel truly like myself yes Sounds great Um that's hard to say I think well I'm in the creative industry and I believe It's especially important when I'm personally engaged in something or truly convinced by it And you notice wow this is awesome what I'm doing Yes exactly—so if I somehow get confirmation from somewhere that what I'm doing is good I'm nobody else I don't actually feel out of place for most of my life Not out of place no There are situations where you just need to adjust a little That happens sometimes in a work setting like when you're on stage or in a similar situation But maybe that's also why I'm so likable Most of the time I know who I am and that's perfectly fine with me So that's great Janusz do you think your language skills make you more likable Yes I do Just the fact that I can talk to so many people whose languages I don’t know is amazing

need to feel comfortable The awareness that my beloved is doing well That's essentially it Yes and that the world has meaning Exactly and the assurance that one can live So we're doing very very well here We have everything we need We have a roof over our heads We live in luxury if you want to call it that To feel truly comfortable I feel good when I'm simply free of pain When I wake up in the morning nothing hurts And I'm well-rested the day is beginning and anything can happen now That's all you really need Nice people around me People who make me feel good I simply trust people where I feel comfortable Places where I feel at ease And simply an open world in general People who accept everything Just that acceptance that sense of comfort So that I can simply feel comfortable as a person And I also know that it's not just me who feels at ease with myself but also other people What do you need to feel truly comfortable Dinner for example A glass of wine Yes not necessarily But food is more important to me than a glass of wine And a candle Something like a cozy little nook as they say in Danish A hückeli Yes Is that cozy then Exactly Just being at home Actually just lying on the couch without a care Simply being as you are Exactly Good drinking good food For me the environment I immerse myself in is very important That is the city where I live The apartment where I live And simply my general living environment So when I'm somewhere I don't feel comfortable I can't feel comfortable with myself either And I believe that's exactly what I need most Kind people around me Friends social connections A setting where I can be myself And where I then feel at ease I think I need warmth And good food And I also feel most at ease when I love myself And that's why I don't compare myself either That's why you must remind yourself every single day ot comparing yourself to others and simply feeling good about yourself That's great What do you need in your life to feel comfortable A blanket Maybe Definitely in winter Our heater's been broken for three weeks now so you always need a blanket and a sweater That's what you need to feel at ease So I often really enjoy being alone in the garden in the hammock Not in winter but then you can make a fire You light a small fire drink some tea and gaze up at the sky Amazing What I truly need and this is also a societal matter is naturally having enough money to simply live stably without worries Or a good calculator Or a good calculator and also the willingness to use it And of course a reliable connection We humans are meant to be together we are not solitary beings— we always need a group And I believe she 's truly valuable I need her too for my circle of friends And the final question Do you gladly help other people Yes For example us I'm not helping after all They only asked one question That's a big help for us We're delighted And if someone helped out things would get easier right Absolutely Do you enjoy helping someone Yes Or is it just a dream Or do you also get involved in practical work I volunteer at the Munich Food Bank Ah I see And you I have a social profession or did and I still pitch in at the practice whenever So you're a professional helper I'm a professional helper Yes exactly When things go wrong in practice and nothing seems to be working anymore then it's Gabi Do you feel happy when you're able to help someone Yes actually definitely It always depends It has to be within my capabilities I 'd say yes exactly So I'm looking forward to it Giving is usually better than taking It's simply more fun to give something Not fun There's a good feeling about it if you want to put it that way Well I'd say the same thing That's wonderful Do you get excited when you have the chance to help other people Yes 100 percent We're actually from Hamburg and moved to Berlin to join the Cold Bus project and we've already done just that It's naturally a wonderful feeling for oneself but it's also wonderfully rewarding to see the people who truly need it at one can simply help out there be genuinely kind and in doing so truly make a difference in people's lives Making things much easier is possible with small changes Whenever I think about it I find that it's simply something that brings a deep sense of fulfillment when one can do something good for someone else That's why it starts with the smallest things even if it's just a gift or something you can do for someone or when answering an interview question—exactly for example That's also why I'm doing it because I think they could really benefit from me doing it And then that’s something that gets fulfilled during the day Isn’t that fantastic Janusz was this a good day for you It was a beautiful day for me I met so many wonderful kind-hearted people Absolutely beautiful That makes me happy Now we want to hear from you What makes a good day for you Let us know in the comments below And if you'd like to keep
