Frequently asked questions
Short answers about what CNVRSATION is and isn't — mostly the things the r/socialskills crowd asks first.
Is there an actual coach?+
Yes. Every session is led by a live coach who runs the format, gives feedback, and works with you on the skill you want to practice. It is not a self-serve Zoom room.
Is the coach a therapist?+
No. The coach is a conversation coach, not a therapist or mental health professional. Sessions focus on practical social skills, not treatment.
Is this therapy?+
No. CNVRSATION is not therapy, mental health treatment, or a replacement for professional support. It is structured social practice with a coach.
Is this for dating?+
No. Some skills may help conversations generally, but this is not dating coaching or pickup advice.
What if I am very awkward?+
That is the point. The group and the coach are set up for people who feel awkward, quiet, or behind socially.
Do I have to turn my camera on?+
For live practice, camera-on is encouraged because real conversation includes facial expressions and timing. But the beta form asks about comfort level so we can understand what people need.
How big are the groups?+
The beta will likely start with small groups of 4 to 8 people.
Will sessions be recorded?+
No beta sessions should be recorded unless everyone explicitly agrees. The default is no recording.
How much does it cost?+
We are testing the format first. Fill out the form and we will contact early members directly.
Who runs this?+
CNVRSATION is being built as a practical conversation practice space for people who want real reps, not more generic advice.
Can I join anonymously?+
You need to provide an email so we can contact you, but Reddit username is optional.
Still curious? Fill out the beta form and mention it in the notes.
