Social skills as a transversal axis of our integral development
If we want to get along logically we have to acquire social skills that are able to improve our relationship with the rest of the people in our day to day, and we must learn them over time, but, as soon as possible because we need them constantly and in this way we will be able to use them in a natural way.
Sometimes we miss many opportunities for success in every sense due to our lack of socialization with all the people around us, hence the enormous importance of including us from a very early age in the initial or preschool stage, this represents a big step to go on the right path in the acquisition of our own social skills that will allow us a better and fluid communication with everyone.
In every school we are recommended from a very early age to express ourselves as naturally as possible, and to be co-protagonists in all dialogues that we can establish with anyone, when we begin to understand to be co-protagonists, no doubt, we apply empathy in a natural way, we greet and talk looking into the eyes of the interlocutor who will be interested in what we can share with him/her.
When we are in a conversation this means that it must develop between two or more people, therefore, although it may seem a little unknown aspect usually one of the people speaks more than the other, and the important thing is to be equanimous between what we speak and listen, otherwise there will be no interest of one of the parties involved in the conversation.
We usually do favors to different people without expecting anything in return, however, sometimes we find it difficult to ask for a favor, or we expect that the other person already knows what we need, which is not always the case, since we have to show that we need some help if it is available, and if it is not possible, we should not show a displeased behavior, since we cannot always do favors and vice versa.
One of the skills to highlight is to be able to have the ability to make some kind of criticism with total serenity, that is to say, not to be impulsive at the moment of making it, since if we are upset about something, for sure our opinion will not be as objective as possible, and if we are wrong in our point of view, to have the essential ability to recognize our mistake, since this will speak very well of our humility.
It is important to recognize the effort and achievements of others who are with you on a daily basis, when we do not really know anything in particular admit it we can not know everything, rather we do not know more than we really know, therefore, our social skills will make us grow as better people in every sense of life and that is something we all seek after all.
Until another opportunity my dear friends.
Oh no! Hehe. Well I’m one of those people that prefer not to interact so much. I believe I have good social skills, but I don’t like to interact a lot.
That’s why your post attracted me, I agree with you, we need these skills in our daily life!! So we have to be able to develop them in order to fit with society, at least for the basics.
Thanks a lot for the message!!
Hello @belug, excellent your comment, I identify with your words, this writing arose precisely for the reason that I have social skills but little communication with the people around me, quite the opposite of my wife and daughter as they are naturally communicative or sociable, therefore, I was inspired by their fluid form of communication which is good for socializing. Thank you for your valuable contribution in expressing your point of view. Regards.
