Social Skills

I was wondering what your struggles with social skills are.

Maybe you have overcome your challenges, or maybe you are still trying to figure things out.

    Maybe you can relate.

    With me, I am not the shy type. I love entering conversations. I love being involved.

    What I noticed is that there is a lot of blocking that happens. This is where people deliberately position their bodies to prevent you from entering conversations.

    The other notable thing that happens is interruptions. I can be speaking then someone chimes in with a sudden conversational pivot.

    Another thing I noticed was people being frustrated at me but not explaining why.

    It is hard to recieive feedback. So I often end up angering people, but never knowing why they are angry at me. If I knew, I would change my behavior.
