Specific social interacion problems to work on- ideas please

Post Reply New Topic

I want to work on my social interactions (mostly at work because I don't have friends). I want to concentrate on one thing at a time, for a few days or a week, and need some ideas for "assignments"

Hear are some examples I thought of;

*don't over explain things all the time
* don't always turn the conversation back to myself
* work on giving and accepting compliments
* start two unnecessary conversations per day (smalltalk)

Also, I was thinking about starting a forum so that others could work on the tasks with me and we could share our experiences, kindof like a group therapy type of thing but with no therapist. Would anyone be interested in this sort of thing?

you could make it an AS "tips and tricks" thread- anybody can post new ideas and questions about this.

I think that since you are aware of these problems and have resolved to address them, you will be met with some degree of success.

I wish you luck, though I don't think you need it.[/quote]

Unfortunately I am 32 and have been aware of my problems for a long time. I think it is time to work. I am excited about it, but I'm a bit drunk too so we will see. Thanx for the luck

Good idea, I do this already. Struggling not to turn conversations back to me and not interrupting.
