I have always wanted to improve my social skills for some time. I can't make an effort to read peoples nonverbal communication, I struggle with it even coming into mind when I have a conversation with a person. I guess not having your own personal transportation makes it harder to be more social and outgoing. But where should I begin?
I would start out with learning the names of gestures people use and look those gestures up online and it will tell you why people use them and then the next step is when you see someone use that gesture again, you then remember the definition of that gesture and the reasons why people do it and that should help you figure out what that person could be doing and what they were thinking or what was going on in their mind.
My mother is better at all this stuff than me she can describe facial expressions in detail and I wouldn't be able to describe it.
