I looked at the Wikipedia page on “people skills” and found behavior reflecting empathy, respect, friendliness, and sincerity. Sorry to be annoying (I imagine this is to some), but why are those “skills?” It seems to me that the only “skill” would be to pretend to display those qualities, rather than actually having/feeling them. I suppose it would be possible to be empathetic and respectful, while not having anyone else see that, but it’s a little hard to see how (except for a case of extreme introversion or high functioning autism).
