Some Habits That One Can Do Daily To Improve Social Skills!

in #life6 years ago

1. Get out of your home  as much as possible and interact with others like friends or randoms.

2. Write your thoughts down in a journal. Helps you get a better perspective of yourself and how you are acting. Better self-awareness. 

3. Say Good Morning to a few people. When ordering morning coffee if that’s your thing, tell the cashier good morning and possibly make small talk. Basically set a goal to make entering conversation feel more natural to you before you begin working on the other aspects of it.

4.  Coming from someone who lacked social skills, I found out that saying yes to more things definently helps. Are you not the type of person to go to parties or social gatherings? Instead of shying away from it, confront it. It might be tough at first, but after a while, it gets easier and easier, and you start to break out of your shell. It also makes it easier to establish relationships with people.So go get out of your comfort zone, talk to more people, say yes to more things, and it'll work wonders. 

5. Listen to People:  When you feel like you should jump into the conversation, take 2-3 seconds to review what the person said before you start talking and also make sure that you're not interrupting by jumping in too early. Also remember that you're not supposed to "solve" everything the other person says - sometimes you're just supposed to listen. 

6.  When at a loss for conversation, find something the person is passionate about, and ask them questions that show some true curiosity towards whatever it is. It's amazing how people light up when they can talk about something they love and think about a lot but may not always have someone genuinely invested with which to share it.
