How can you improve your social skills?
Answer:
Hi, Kathleen.
This requires learning how people tick. You should immurse yourself in people skills books. I would start with the book; "How to win friends and Influence People". Next You must fight off the enemy "Shyness, and self Doubt" You should study self help books on be assertive, and expandinding self confidence.
Something to start right away is to hold your posture up, walk straight, shoulders back, don't let your eye's nail the floor or the other way when approached by a stranger. Speak up with confidence a greeting in appropriate places.
Read portions in the news paper daily, Highlights of sports, Business section, current events, and glance over the comics.
In the right moment you can say, That was an incredible final ending with the Reds last night wasn't it.
Can you believe the stock market jumped 4000 from a 2000 low?
All you need is a partial overview. If they know anything about it they will talk. If they don't know about it then just a short exchange. You can say as an exit, I didnt have time to read all the details but the artical caught your eye.
Either way socially your job is performance and to at least appear informed and handle yourself well. Socially you should know what you want to achieve and taylor your behavior to fit.
Good luck. I love working a room. (hint learn to work a room)

Be more outgoing and talk to more people. Introduce yourself and make some small talk. That's mostly all you can do and all you have to do...
