Conclusion

Introduction

You may have seen a construction site where the ground gets dug deeply, and a robust and solid foundation stone is laid. A strong foundation means that the building on which it's built can go higher. However, without this strong foundation, it will be unable to sustain height.

The same applies to life - we cannot relate with others, be productive and resilient, and achieve career success and emotional well-being without strong social skills.

Sometimes we're not great at making conversation.

Think about it: have you ever made a joke that fell flat, or you may inadvertently hurt someone's feelings?

It can be easy to overreact when something embarrassing happens with friends, but often, it'll all make for a funny story that will strengthen your relationships in the long run.

However, if you make mistakes too often, it can damage your self-esteem. If social skills are something you don't know much about, it may slow down your progress in both work and relationships. Some people might come off as antisocial or harmful to others, but they might be shy. Knowing this can help you better understand your behavior.

Many people find it challenging to engage in social situations and make friends. Some people avoid socialization due to anxiety, while others are introverted and enjoy being alone. Regardless of who you are, developing social skills and communicating effectively is essential.

It could be challenging to learn social skills if you were not exposed to types of social dynamics as a child. With mental illnesses or just a plain lack of positive role models, it is hard to learn and maintain these skills. Young people become more adept at managing their own emotions, as well as the feelings of others, and doing so productively by socializing while they grow up. If you haven't yet developed these skills, don't worry - it's not too late to learn.

Interacting with people is a vital social skill necessary for success in all aspects of life. Social skills enable people to keep relationships with others and build new ones. Individuals with good social skills are more physically and psychologically healthy, and their personality develops stronger. Many opportunities are only available to those with good social skills.

Being social is not just inborn. One can learn to be social and practice it to get better. Having good social skills can make other people feel comfortable and get along with them. They can also influence their decisions. Some examples of good social skills include attentive listening, punctuality, empathy, and respect.

Many people feel anxious now that companies are bringing employees together in person. But don't let this and an inability to spend more than 5 minutes chatting with coworkers hold you back.

The good news? The last two years haven't made anyone socially competent. The bad news is that many people are acting awkwardly, and misunderstandings will happen.

You don't have to change yourself, but you might need to change your approach.

Excellent suggestion. I began putting what I had learnt into practice and began to notice changes. I'm having longer talks now, which is great.
