Any word of advice on how to develop good people skills at work (or in general) without being a kiss-@$$ , a hypocrite or a plain people-pleaser? What actually comprises "people skills"?
I am by nature quiet, shy, soft-spoken and kept to myself (probably mistaken as a snob by some) until I slowly warm up to people then I start expressing myself more.
I have been told by many (and modesty aside, I myself know) that I am a good worker, helpful to co-workers and attempts to work as part of a team. And I have developed on my own "emotional skills" which is knowing oneself and how one reacts to certain situations (then eventually learning to react positively). But somehow I know I am lacking this so-called people skills.
I know one can go further in life and in his profession if he has both emotional and people skills. It's not like I want a promotion to a top position at work or something but I just want to be able to relate to people well and not be mistaken as a snob.
