    S1E1 | The Brutal Truth: People Hated You Before You Opened Your Mouth | How to Talk to Anyone | Leil Lowndes

    Welcome to The Burnout Podcasts! Alan has been walking into rooms his entire life and wondering why the energy never quite lands the way he intends. He has been blaming his words. In this episode, Edith tells him to stop looking at his mouth and start looking at everything else — because according to Leil Lowndes, every body is broadcasting an autobiography in motion, and Alan's is currently confessing things he would never say out loud. His posture, his gait, the angle of his shoulders, the way he holds himself when he thinks nobody is paying attention — all of it is being read, processed, and filed away by every person in eyeshot before he has said a single word. Alan is terrified. Not because it is unfair. Because it is completely accurate, and he has been doing it to other people for years without realising it.

    S1E2 — Why Your "Friendly" Smile is Actually Creepy (And Sincere Smiles Take Seconds) | How to Talk to Anyone | Leil Lowndes

    Welcome to The Burnout Podcasts! Alan smiles a lot. He smiles when he walks in. He smiles when he introduces himself. He smiles because he has been told that smiling makes people like you. And in this episode, Edith tells him that almost every smile he has ever produced has been working against him. Lowndes calls it the Flooding Smile — a smile that does not arrive until it has actually absorbed the other person, a smile that says I see you specifically and I am responding to you specifically — and it is completely different from the automatic, reflexive, strobe-light grin that Alan deploys like a defence mechanism every time he feels socially uncertain. The quick grin does not read as friendly. It reads as nervous. It reads as performed. Alan attempts to slow his face down in real time during this episode, and Edith's commentary on his progress is not kind.
