<p>6, maybe. </p>
<p>I am way too quiet in group conversation settings, and I feel like I am a bit boring in conversation.</p>
<p>I can’t talk on a personal level, but I rock out public speaking/presenting like no one’s business. I don’t get it. :(</p>
<p>I’ll go with a 7. It’s not as if I’m socially awkward, it’s just that if I’m enabled to seclude myself, I typically will. I’m not too fond of conversing with a multitude of individuals at once. I prefer intimate groups.</p>
<p>Personality is way different from social skills. A boring introvert who tends to stay alone but acts maturely is more socially skillful than a charismatic extrovert who can’t stand up to peer pressure.</p>
<p>6
I can socialize with people who I want to socialize with, but I could never work at a clothing store and ask people if they need help. That’s seems really awkward to me.</p>
<p>I think that my personality correlates with my social skills. My behavior and tendencies correspond with my ability to converse with other students.</p>
<p>I’m not photogenic, don’t take pictures.</p>
<p>I prefer not to go to parties with alcohol and drugs, considering I don’t do them myself and the risks of being there while still underage (and in high school) are rather large.</p>
<p>I have very strong social skills as a friend; it doesn’t matter who I am talking to (sex, race, age, etc), if I see them as a friend or really good friend or whatever I will be perfectly normal.</p>
<p>For relationships, etc I’m not so hot. I wouldn’t say I’m bad; I’ve had a few girlfriends. However, I have high standards and as such I don’t find many people I’m interested in (and when I do they are often already taken lol).</p>
<p>Thus, when it comes to relationships and dating, I’m not so experienced. I don’t pick up on small signs and things, and I do not always know exactly how to handle certain situations. This is where I get kind of awkward and lose self-confidence.</p>
<p>Overall, I’d say my social skills are probably about a 6.5-7/10.</p>
<p>I’m really bad at maintaining relationships with anyone, but I’m good at meeting lots of people. </p>
<p>I’d say I’m pretty confident as to my ability to meet new people. I’m not afraid of just walking up to people and talking to them, but I’ve never been all that able to maintain close friendships, just build up lots of acquaintances. I’m the type to thrive in large groups and fail in small ones. </p>
<p>Throw a number at that… 5?</p>
<p>I can be a normal person (8 or 9) around my friends/family but with people I don’t know I tense up and become shy; however, I’m nicer to people I don’t know for some reason. I am really bad at making new friends though and can’t talk to girls for some reason. I am an introvert but am now trying to become more social/hang out with my friends more.</p>
<p>I’d say 4.5 or 5.</p>
<p>When I was younger I was a 2 or 3, now I’m a 5, 6, 7.</p>
<p>lol wuts a gurl?</p>
<p>It really depends on the situation, sometimes I just feel energetic or automatically click with the person, therefore I act bubbly and I can carry a conversation with the new person and laugh with them etc.
Other times I just don’t know what to say, and there was this girl who was quite introverted (at least to me) that I knew, we did art classes together and everything but we just weren’t friends. I can’t even say she’s a social freak because she has friends.
However if I meet someone genuinely friendly and not shy, I make friends with them.
But I don’t have many good friends at school, so maybe my skills are pretty poor.
I’d say around 4~6.</p>
<p>@Jersey13:
That clearly doesn’t apply to my school. :)</p>
<p>well, I knew mine were bad. I can’t even form sentences without people changing discussion and not wanting to talk with me.</p>
<p>In optimum conditions I’d give myself a seven or an eight. However there are those moments were either I just don’t feel like talking to someone or absolutely terrified of saying somthing stupid. In either of these scenarios my ranking would plummet to about a two or three.</p>
<p>Oh, I have a tip. Be a waiter. It forces you into it. I really liked being a waiter, lots of tips, I was working at this chinese/mexican restaurant mix downtown of the city, very good because it had a good amount of regulars. I think of getting my bar serving license (those schools that give it to you for < $100, and you learn all those fancy tricks) since you only need to be 18 and I could work later at night and get good money while at college since it’s in a city.</p>
<p>So get a job as a waiter. Though that might be hard since they usually interview just to see your personality, they’ll take you with little work experience. But it’s possible, easier to get at a sports bar, but then you’d need to pass that alcohol serving exam anywhere they serve it.</p>
<p>7ish. I strike up conversations with people quite often but will have that occasional day where I just want to stay quiet.</p>
<p>6-7. Depends on the day, to be honest. Lately, I’ve been really outgoing and happy, even to strangers.</p>
<p>If 5-6 is average on this scale, I’d give myself a 4.
Everyone is relating shyness and a lack of social skills, which I don’t think <em>necessarily</em> go together. I’m very outgoing and friendly, but I’m socially awkward. Well, I think half of it is awkwardness and half of it is that I don’t like most people, and I’m also not really willing to buy into society’s rules for social conduct.</p>
<p>8 </p>
<p>I didnt give myself a 10 because I have a tendency to seclude myself. I like my peace and quiet. But I can be very sociable when I want.</p>
