Hello collegeKid07, im in the situation of having recognized that my social skill level is that of one little 5 year old child
, no big deal, why should it be?.
The things i have done to overcome it is to use EFT on each aspect or core issue of the problem that kept me away from becoming better socially (visit the link at my sig).
I have also readed much on websites and i bought a book called "how to win friends and influence people" by dale carnegie, its great and i recommend it to you. Now i just have to decide what i really want to do to grow as a person, because i admit that i am trully introverted, and that my strengths reside in me beign an introvert, so i want to remain authentic and not push myself to be something i am not, but, there is a balance between beign social and beign the introvert i am, wich i think its beign focused, and interested in other people, while at the same time remaining just as i am, and i just say this because in other times i really pushed myself to be something i am not, i tried to be extroverted, but this had a negative effect, it was extremely tiring, and it didnt last for too long, now im trying to reach that balance.
But i am becoming more balanced now, and i find people respect me much more, and i am much more confident and relaxed... the three keys i think are to be authentic, healthy, and sincerely interested in other people, growing is not easy or fast but it can be done you just have to start working on you, i hope that helps!
