TOPIC: Shyness and a lack of social skills ruining my life

Shyness and a lack of social skills ruining my life 26 Apr 2017 21:27 #282873

The problem is your shyness, NOT your lack of social skills.

Here's what I've observed: 90% of people who tell me they have "poor social skills" have completely fine social skills. It always seems to be in their head. The people who truly have bad social skills are often blissfully unaware that they're acting retarded.

So you're asking how to get better with people, and ironically you TURN DOWN a chance to get better with people by canceling your application to that job. THAT's how you ended up in this predicament in the first place! Your problem is that you are turning down opportunities to get better with people because you're scared.

If it isn't too late, go call up that interviewer and tell them you changed your mind and want to take the interview (I know you don't want to). It'll probably seem scary to do that, but just make it happen even if you're shaking in your boots while picking up the phone.

There's only ONE way to develop better social skills and reduce shyness --> Experience

You need to dedicate 20 hours a week MINIMUM to this problem if you want to fix it. You could do the AA program if your up it. That's certainly an option. It significantly reduces social anxiety. But let's not get ahead of ourselves, START with this test, then come back to us and tell us what your score is. Then we'll know where to start:

I'm curious terminator.. Why don't you look for a job? I've seen you mention several times that you are unemployed. Even a part time job. Hell I'm working at Starbucks and a cashier at a health food store currently since I dropped out of college and am creating online income at the same time.

That's not pertinent to the topic at hand.

Hence why the majority of clients are male that work with social-skills and life coaches
