Plateauing on social skills - need resources for a plateau-breaker. 4 upvotes | November 13, 2015 | by Sketti-Os ------------------------- I swallowed the pill about a year ago. Lifting, studying, furthering my career. I try to go out as much as I can, but there's not much opportunity in my area. Anyway, my social skills have always been my Achilles heel. I've seen a lot of improvement on capturing interest from people in the conversation itself, but never in myself. I always seem to leave people with a vibe of "well he was a cool, friendly guy". Honestly, I'm happy with that. Last year, I would have never thought I'd be holding conversations like a non-socially-awkward person. But as with anything involving self-improvement, I want to get better at it. I'm terrible with the more intermediate/advanced social concepts. I never understood Machiavellian techniques, any sort of manipulation, or how to simply get interest in more than a friendly level from girls. The House of Cards approach of trying to forsee a social situation in the long-run seems impossible to me. Does anyone have any resources (preferably audio/visual as opposed to text) that can explain more advanced levels of RP social interaction? Whether it be pickup, job-related, or day-to-day social interactions. ------------------------- Archived from https://theredarchive.com/post/156522
