The above video covers why technical people, that is people who work in areas such as engineering, mathematics, computer science, etc., often have problems communicating in casual social environments.

Key takeaways include:

Understanding the difference between communicating information and communicating emotions.

Attraction (either generic or romantic) is not created by what you logically say but instead by what you emotionally convey. Some of the most important information, such as if a person seems honest and trustworthy, is primarily communicated via the emotions felt during the interaction.

Technical people are often stuck logically in their own heads.

You should not try to logically convince someone to like you.

Don't over analyze every little thing in an interaction.

Don't place the burden of being responsible for your emotional state onto strangers that you just met.
