What does the phrase 'social skills' mean in 2024?

OK, I hope you're able to find what you are looking for. The language thing may seem off-base, but I have thought of here and there over the years while reading your posts, so take it for what it's worth, I guess. Or, not. You know, whatever.

This probably isn't helpful and I'm sorry to be going back to context again, but I really think it's dependent upon how you define successful. For me, personally, I would consider alignment with my personal values and ethics in terms of how I want to try to treat others as a minimum requirement for a successful interaction, even if the social consequences may be negative, so I might approach your question more from that standpoint. Whereas, someone whose benchmark for success is something more along the lines of, say, passing in an office environment and practical concerns like maintaining their employment may flesh out your list very differently.
