social skills

Post Reply New Topic

Guys how you are working on improving your social skills?

I stim by scratching my fingernail or pinching my arm when I'm talking to people sometimes to help me concentrate and be able to talk to them.

You can practice on using eye contacts,changing tone of voice,body language. it helps to understand people well.

I talk to people.

yeah. I try to socialize with people I'm not particularly interested in (i.e. coworkers) and then get exhausted afterwards.
It just makes me feel bad that I can't get any joy out of interacting with other people (other than with a few like my best friend and my daughter.) It's not enjoyable but sometimes satisfying as if I accomplished something.

You have to be organized you have to work day by day for 2 or 3 hours.so life keeps getting easy it goes on improving really it works it is working for me

observation and applying whatever i absorb. i retain my monotone voice but no one i actually converse with has commented on it, only my counselors when i talk to them about social skills. i feel accomplished when i have embroidered a successful conversation, i feel drained afterwards like many others.

i have never had a big enough problem with eye contact to require my - or anybody else's attention.

Just talk to others of your own comfort. If you see someone in real life who is interested into things you like. strike up a conversation. I feel better to talk to someone who shares similar interest of goals, and hobbies. There are a lot of things on this website people can refer you to. but at the end of it all, Your just have to take the initiative to get out there and try. Good luck

2-3 hours per day socialising, no thanks.

Going out to more places than I used too but I'm not really trying to work on my social skills persay.
