Each set includes 72 real-life social scenarios and over 400 expert responses on tangible, full-color 4x6 cards. Designed to give you concrete ways to get to know someone and find compelling topics to talk about, these cards help you navigate any conversation with ease.

Both are pointing to the same thing. Basically, the situation you’re responding to. In the final version of the deck, we use “Social Scenario” more consistently, but if you see “Social Cue” on a card, just know it’s the same idea. (Think of it like “soda” vs. “pop”. Different words, same meaning.)

The cards are planned to release by October 2025.

There are four different categories that the social situations fall into:
‍
1. Casual Engagement
‍
Light, everyday interactions like small talk, playful banter, or commenting on shared experiences where the initiator isn’t necessarily expecting a deep response .
‍Examples: Greeting someone, talking about the weather, discussing weekend plans.
‍
2.  Potential Connections
‍
‍Moments where someone is trying to build or deepen a connection, like asking about your background, interests, or shared experiences.
Example: Answering “Where are you from?” or discussing common interests in a way that encourages further conversation.
‍
3. Navigating Delicate Issues
‍
Situations that require tact, like asserting boundaries, handling mistakes, or responding to difficult comments.
Example: Addressing a misunderstanding, setting limits with someone, or responding to self-deprecating remarks.
‍
4. Receiving And Offering Support
‍
Moments where someone needs or is offering encouragement, reassurance, or validation.
Example: Responding to someone feeling insecure about their appearance or giving words of support in tough situations.

1. Confidence

Definition: Responses that demonstrate initiative, assertiveness, and conviction while remaining respectful.
‍
‍Why it’s important for relationships: Confidence sets the tone for mutual respect. It signals you value yourself and invites others to treat you accordingly.
‍
‍Example: “You should totally correct them. Your name deserves to be spelled right!”
‍
‍
2. Authenticity
‍
Definition: Responses that are honest, open, and emotionally grounded without oversharing.
‍
‍Why it’s important for relationships: Authenticity builds trust. It shows you’re willing to be real, without veering into oversharing or performative vulnerability.
‍
‍Example: “It’s been a busy time, and I haven’t been prioritizing my health as much as I’d like.”
‍
‍
3. Empathy
‍
Definition: Responses that focus on understanding and supporting the other person’s feelings or experience.
‍
‍Why it’s important for relationships: Empathy helps people feel seen and supported. It’s the foundation of emotional connection and trust.
‍
‍Example: “I’m so sorry to hear about your dad. How are you holding up?”
‍

4. Humor

Definition: Responses that are playful, clever, and designed to make the moment lighter or more fun.
‍
‍Why it’s important for relationships: Humor breaks the ice and builds rapport. It can turn awkwardness into bonding without getting too serious too soon.
‍
‍Example: “I support you wearing whatever makes you happy...but I also support you trying on one more option.”
‍
‍
5. Positivity
‍
Definition: Responses that highlight what’s going well, offer encouragement, or focus on a hopeful perspective.
‍
‍Why it’s important for relationships: Positivity builds emotional resilience and reminds people that joy, appreciation, and hope are worth expressing too.
‍
‍Example: “Thank you! It always makes my day when someone notices something I’m wearing.”
‍

6. Avoid
‍
‍Definition: Responses that may unintentionally dismiss, deflect, or derail meaningful connection.
‍
Why it’s important for relationships:
Even well-meaning replies can fall flat or push someone away if they aren’t attuned to the moment. The “Avoid” label isn’t about being right or wrong, it’s about recognizing when something might be unhelpful, and choosing a response that better supports connection.
‍
Example:
"At least it’s not worse!"

Our flashcards are for anyone who wants to replace social uncertainty with practical confidence. If you ever find yourself replaying conversations, struggling to find the right words in the moment, or feeling drained after social interactions, this system was built for you.

They are the perfect tool for:
‍
• The Overthinker & People-Pleaser: Who gets stuck in their head, rehearsing conversations, and often says "yes" when they want to say "no."
• The Authenticity Seeker: Who wants to move beyond small talk and build genuine connections but isn't sure how to express their true self without feeling awkward.
• The Recently Single or New in Town: Who is rebuilding their social circle and wants a confidence boost to turn acquaintances into friends.
• The Supportive Friend (& Leader): Who is a great listener but needs help setting boundaries, sharing their own needs, or giving constructive feedback.

Stop guessing and start connecting. This deck gives you a versatile toolkit with scripts for everything from declining an invitation gracefully to navigating small talk and responding with empathy. It’s designed to help you find the right words for any situation, so you can communicate with clarity and finally enjoy conversations instead of dreading them.

Affirmation Cards
‍
‍These are usually decks with short, positive statements meant to uplift or motivate someone. For example:
‍
-“I am enough.”
-“I radiate confidence and calm.”
-“I deserve connection and love.”

‍They’re mostly about mindset and emotional support and not about what to say or do in specific social situations. They're more inward-focused than conversation-focused.

Therapy Tools
‍
‍This can refer to a wide range of things used in or inspired by therapy like journals, worksheets, emotion wheels, CBT-based prompts, and even conversation starter decks. They often aim to help people reflect on feelings, triggers, or past experiences. For example:
‍
-A worksheet on “challenging negative thoughts.”
-A prompt like “What did I feel in that moment, and why?”
-Exercises to practice grounding or emotional regulation.

So these cards are more applied and real-time, kind of like having a cheat sheet for when you’re actually in a conversation and not just reflecting after the fact or boosting your mood.

No, you don’t need to memorize them. The goal isn’t to have a set script for every situation, but to help you get familiar with conversation patterns and possibilities.

The cards are meant to show you different ways to respond, giving you a framework to feel more adept in social situations. Instead of memorizing exact lines, you’ll learn to recognize what works, what doesn’t, and why, so you can adapt based on your own style and the dynamics of the conversation.

Not every response will work in every situation, but the examples can help you recognize different approaches to try depending on the vibe and context.

Absolutely. The cards are designed with flexibility in mind, recognizing that everyone’s conversational style and comfort levels are different.

For neurodivergent individuals, these cards can offer concrete examples that align with how you process social interactions. They’re meant to reduce the guesswork and provide clear, actionable responses without relying on broad, one-size-fits-all advice.

Social cues can feel ambiguous for many, even for those who are typically good at reading them, so the cards focus on providing specific scenarios that you can practice based on your preferences and comfort level. Think of them as tools to help make social interactions more predictable, not rigid rules to follow.
