How to improve your social skills

如何提高社交技能

Stay Up to Date on Current Events

了解最新時事

Read up on current trends and news stories so you have something to talk about with people. Try to avoid anything that is too controversial, such as politics, but do talk about other news stories that may be of interest. It can be a great way to start a conversation and can help you stick to neutral subjects.

Identify and Replace Negative Thoughts

意識到自己的消極想法，改正掉

If you have a lot of negative thoughts about your social interactions, it could become a self-fulfilling prophecy. For example, a person who thinks,“I’m really awkward and I will embarrass myself,”may sit in the corner at a party. As a result, he may leave the party thinking that he must be really awkward because no one talked to him.

如果你對社交溝通交流有很多消極想法，可能會成為一種自我應(yīng)驗的預(yù)言。例如，有人認(rèn)為，“我真的感到自己處于非常尷尬的境地，”會坐在聚會的某個角落。結(jié)果他會從聚會場合上離開，會一直覺得沒人跟他說話，所以自己一定很尷尬。

Identify negative thoughts that are likely dragging you down. Replace them with more realistic thoughts, such as,“I can make conversation and I can meet new people.”Don’t allow yourself to dwell on thoughts that aren’t productive.

確定消極思想有可能在拖累著你，用更加現(xiàn)實的想法取代消極想法，例如，“我可以和別人對話我還可以與新認(rèn)識的人見面。” 不許自己停留在無意義的思想中。
