True to myself

I'm pretty good at not caring what others think of me so I don't let my mood become affected by what others are speculating. But not when I'm not even sure if I'm doing the right thing myself...

Socialize

Socializing seems like a necessary survival skill in our everyday lives. And some people happen to be better at it than the others.


Is it an innate skill? Or is it something you develop as you grow?


I think it's something you can develop. Sure, personality plays some part in it, but that doesn't mean it's all controlled and influenced by personality; you can change yourself if you want. Of course you won't be able to change yourself drastically to a totally different person that doesn't match your personality, but I think socializing is simply a communication skill and can be developed with experience.


I don't think I'm a really outgoing person (right?) but I try to force myself to learn how to talk with people. The one thing you must learn is how to start a conversation and how to keep it going. And I think that takes skill and experience. If you try hard enough, eventually you'll get the hang of it, and I think I'm slowly getting the hang of it which is a good thing.


People gotta learn how to expand social circles; after all, the more people you know, the more friends you make, the more chance you have in whatever you want to do. ;]
