And I've been told to stop moving my hands a lot when I talk 😂 she made me feel I was right my whole life
Hi.
Is anyone here in 2026?
Je ne suis toujours pas tout à fait convaincue par le test d'anxiété de Clara Hartley. Certains résultats semblaient assez évidents, mais d'autres mentionnaient des habitudes étrangement précises qui m'ont interpellée. Je l'ai envoyé à une amie pour comparer ses résultats.
Clara Hartley’s anxiety quiz showed up on my feed again today. I ignored it the first two times, but now the algorithm is making it feel personal 😂 Fine, I’m going to see what everyone keeps talking about.
She definitely stole the show. No fakeness
If any of u 2 3 percentage of people try to talk to me or cross line we burn u alive and yr family
Are emotions contagious, or is just fear contagious. :PP The experiment was only one-sided.
Hi, I'm JaySays. God's my father
I'm genuinely curious (I don't mean this as a hateful comment!) about facial expressions being engraved into our DNAs and survival mechanism, and yet, we (Vanessa) opt for regular Botox that numbs our facial expressions because that way we look younger. Beside that being ironic, I'd like to hear her take on it – since she admits to Botox treatments but talks about facial expressions as the essence of us.
What is the university of Finland 🤔🤔
They proved the same by standing at a door, a random door. People lined up around the block, the last people when asked why they were standing in line. They responded by saying they lined up because if this many people were randomly lining up it must be important, almost as if group mentality, not wanting to be left out socially or fear of missing out on an important event was involved.
I did feel uncomfortable with the hands behind your back lol
She is a witch. Don’t put thoughts in my mind 😢
She did so good! Love this video!
Very cool video
I did this with my girlfriend. Right after she got off work we went on a hike, so i asked her when i picked her up “anything exciting happened at work?” And she lit up!
I love this woman so much! Her personality is just like mine and only after watching her I realized how awesome this is
Here in 2026!
2026, and this is still soooo amazing!
instead of:
1. what do you do?
2. where are you from?
3. how are you?
Try:
instead of:
1. what do you like to do?
2. what's on your travel list?
3. how are you on a scale of 1-10 (best) and what would legally and realistically bump that up at least +1?
Websites is a lie Vanessa is a bluffers
Borrow excitement from other experiences ! wow ! love it !
Basically you have to be Italian but with manners
It always astounds me how she's so AUTHENTIC with her charisma, while teaching about being interesting and charismatic. That's the secret sauce, the authenticity to go with the connection. Always, ALWAYS, massive respect for this lady.
Unfortunately an actor can choose to produce either.
I think I'm broken. 8:20
Theologically correct good drive great impact posture and good friendly balance
She's wearing blue which makes someone seem confident and intellectual, it's clear she's studied psychology a lot and she's very inspirational : )
I analysed this talk for my school English assignment haha
