SOCIAL SKILLS AS A MUSCLE

I wasn’t born confident. It was a muscle that grew. How? My mom is insanely social. She taught me social skills.

To grow your social skills you must exercise them — like a muscle.

Simple ideas

  1. Wave hello or give people the peace sign. Start chatting.
  2. Ask them about their life story or life dreams
  3. Ask people about their personal opinion on x, y, z.
  4. Realize strangers are more likely to share personal life stories than even close friends and family. Why? You don’t know them and won’t spill the beans to anyone they know.
