Social Skills Improvement Thread
- Thread starter LordLyons
- Start date
So last couple of years I worked with at-risk high schoolers (in-between other shyt) to help them build self-confidence. I have a girl's group and a boy's group at a school. Trying to expand to "emergent/transitional adults" or at-risk young adults that have just graduated between the ages 18-25 because they are particularly vulnerable but I don't have time right now.
If somebody got some business acumen about them, cities and major communities would pay some big bucks to contract with companies focused on this major need.
A few things we talk about in group
1.) Stop living in your head
2.) Internet Anonymity Audacity vs. Real Life Anxiety
3.) Real Life Factors Contributing to social anxiety
4.) Realizing You are Just as Important as Anyone Else
5.) Cultivating a Sense of Adventure
6.) People as Human Beings, Not Just Objects of Your Desire
7.) Building capacity for empathy
8.) Facing and handling Rejection
9.) Putting Yourself Out There
I'm trying to remember some of our other topics too. I think we did one on building intrinsic values, and communication skills.

I cant emphasize this enough. A large part of my job is communicating problems with with financial trades. You'd think ppl are more precise with their words in my environment, no. The first few mins of a convo is me trying to pull out from ppl wtf they're wanting to say. Why am i helping you form the question you want to ask me????????
I noticed this shyt outside of work too. Its like ppl vomit words out until they start making sense. Like did you but any thought into what you said? So like other humans can understand it? You might as well be talking to a wall. Trump is a master of this shyt.
Ppl would rather text than talk because its "simpler." bytch we in the same building
some have even devolved into fukking meme speak irl
Ironically, some of Trumps most complete thoughts were his fukking tweets.

after I quit drank and tree, I started eating a strict diet and hit the gym 6 days a week. I became an extrovert.

@Houston911 this thread should honestly be stickied.
There are some very solid advice here and this thread has the potential to be just as useful as the quick gems on women one.

Now connect this to difficulties in the job market and building relationships. Its all connected. Current generations think technology can supplant social skills rather than supplement them. Its impacting many different areas of life.

This 100% ... The delivery of what you’re trying to say needs to be transparent and understandable to both parties in the conversation and not just in your head. Take the time to learn how to formulate a sentence so ANYONE can understand.I cant emphasize this enough. A large part of my job is communicating problems with with financial trades.

Some anxeity can stem from not feeling like you're in control of things.
Anyways good thread. We need more uplifting around here to be frank.
Anxiety is a bytchnikkas really catching anxiety attacks when a stranger asks for the time
An anxiety attack ain't that much different than an asthma attack or heart attack to me at this point. We don't laugh at people having heart attacks or asthma attacks, so we should try our best to not laugh at anxiety attacks either.nikkas really catching anxiety attacks when a stranger asks for the time
