Social skills articles from other blogs #1
This is the first in what will be an ongoing series of posts. I’ll add new ones when I have a spare moment.
As far as I know, there aren’t many sites out there devoted totally to interpersonal skills. However, there are quite a few blogs that occasionally write about socializing, but mostly focus on a range of other personal development topics. Compared to other categories like productivity or finding your life’s purpose, social skills don’t get a ton of attention. One of these sites may only have a handful of articles on getting along with people in two years worth of archives.
What they do write though can be quite good. Each one of these posts will gather together the people skills articles from one of these sites.
The first site I’ll do is The Simple Dollar. It’s mainly about finances and paying off debt and whatnot, but when using StumbleUpon one day I came across a helpful article on it about creating a social network. I was impressed and went through the archives and found several more. Here they are:
Building a Powerful Social Network in Your Immediate Area
Investing in Yourself: Socializing and Networking
Seven Ways To Overcome Social Awkwardness That You Can Practice Anytime
Nine Social Skills To Practice - Even For The Socially Unskilled Like Myself
I didn’t list them here, but it also has a few entries relating to relationships and finances (i.e., what to do if your friends are more loose with their money than you).
