Which social skills/tips that you exhibit have imrpoved your social interactions the most?

Answer 1

Listening is the biggest thing you can change in your interpersonal communication - if you really listen and understand what someone is saying, the conversation will go very smoothly. You will ask the right questions and the person talking will feel valued.

Another skill to hone for interpersonal communication is non-verbal awareness. Body language is ever-present and the person you are with notices and believes what your posture is telling them more than what you say to them. Be aware of your facial expressions and also how you hold yourself. Look interested and the person will continue. This is especially important in job interviews. If you can lean forward and look interested in the person talking, they will recognize that.

Answer 2

Lying. I have in the past lied my *** off about almost anything in the past I feel insecure about and i even made myself beleive these things. Its the only way I could over come my social phobia its was like taking on a charactor or something, people would always try and get to know me and ask me stuff about my past, I realized that If even myself couldn't understand what the past was about and the traumatic events I went through, then I may aswell change it to something more identifiable to who I feel I am today and who I could be, so now the stuff that happened to me makes more sence, I am someone made up of positive experiences and as ****** up as it is i know that because of it I'm now a more outgoing and confident person. I still have self esteem issues but if I can trick other people in to thinking theres more to me than the shy depressed person that I often am then they often try harder to get to know the person I really am. Its kind of sociopathic I know but its worked really well so far and my plan is that one day I will have done and been all the things I have claimed to be and I'll no longer have to lie. Its more that I twist the thruth anyway.

Answer 3

Being gracious, courteous, and a good listener, and having a good sense of humor. But, the most important is being a good listener. As someone (don't remember who) once told me, "everyone has a story". I have heard/learned so much over the years just by listening to the stories of strangers.

Answer 4

Having a sense of humor.
Sometimes, a zany sense of humor.
Sometimes, a subtle sense of humor.
I've watched my husband work a room, and he just thrives in a crowd. It is something to watch. As I've observed him, he gives all his attention to the person he's talking to, directing all his focus on them. He smiles, sometimes, shakes hands, and when he laughs, it's genuine, and he's all happy and high when he leaves. I've never seen him unhappy in a crowd. He's a great go-getter and remembers all kinds of things. When he forgets someone's name, he's honest and upfront about it, but manages to put them at ease at the same time. He's absolutely wonderful. As for me, I'm a toad. I watch rather than interact, but when I'm talking to someone, I try to make a joke. Sometimes its lame, but sometimes I'm so funny I kill me.
