Learning social skills and things throug youtube?
I found this was actually helpful. I didnt know if others do this. But I thought if anybody knew any then post a link and a short summary.

I've never used youtube to learn social skills before. I learned by placing myself into social situations withOUT the aid of any technology. I've actually failed to learn any type of social skills from the internet. I say that going out and trying multiple times to be social is the most effective way (in my opinion anyway).

I learned through my many mistakes. It's worth a minute or two of humiliation to not be humiliated in the future.

I use to learn social skills by endless asking my mother and friends for details of normal social interactions.

For me it's really just a combination of trial and error. I try something out, if it works, I use it again, if not, I try something else. But I don't socialise a lot so my conversation skills are not exactly what you'd call honed. Small talk is definitely the worst, I can never seem to keep the ball rolling.

The best way to develop social skills is through practice. You must be brave and voluntarily put yourself in social situations in order to learn.
