Does anyone else feel like they lose their social skills if they don't keep them up? Throughout my life I have had cycles of being regularly in social situations (school, college, uni, work, out with friends) and then other periods such as holidays or whilst unemployed where I rarely speak to anyone, this is where I feel like I lose my social skills and become more socially awkward than before despite being older and wiser. Recently this has left me sounding like a nervous wreck and even sometimes slurring my words at the unexpected encounter with a neighbour for example. I have dated many women in my life and over time it became more natural but now since I haven't met anyone for almost 6 months I feel like I would struggle to even have a date now
