How good are yours? Are you happy confident find it easy to chat to people. Are you a little shy or socially awkard. More of a wall flower or a go out get them kind of person.

Id rate my social skills quite high based on the fact i was recommended for my voluntry job based on them

I’d say mine are high too as I work with volunteers.

I can chat about anything. Years ago I couldn’t have done that but my confidence as grown.

It really depends on the situation. I can be incredibly shy or incredibly outgoing.

I am a friendly person though and people tend to be drawn to me, I always end up chatting to strangers.

In work I’m extremely socialable, anyone that comes in I’m chatty with straight away, all staff etc.

Outside? Socially awkward. I’m friends with a bus driver and we chat a lot, he asked me if I’m so awkward with him because I fancy him

Mine are quite good

I can and will talk to anyone about anything

I've just started volunteering too, as I have realised that although I like my own company, I do miss the interaction with others

It completely depends on the situation and also my mood.

I'm quite a chatty person so on the whole I talk to anybody but in big group situations I can be quite shy and a bit socially awkward.

Damn new phone & stupid carrot!

Try again....

Shutting me up is usually the problem

And when I'm nervous, I talk even more - usually random gibberish before I burst into hysterics!

It very much depends - put me in a situation where I don't know anyone, or that I feel uncomfortable and I'm very much a wallflower and won't approach others to chat to unless I have to.

Put me in a situation where there are lots of people I know and I feel comfortable and I'm quite happy being a social butterfly.

That said if others come to talk to me in the first situation it doesn't take me long to feel comfortable and open up

With new people I'm shy until the pleasantries are out of the way. Unless it's a job interview or some kind of public speaking, in which case I'm a nervous wreck throughout

At work - brilliant. I feel like I sort of adopt a successful, confident persona and it works for me.

Social situations, it depends. So I'd say I am middling - confident sometimes, others less so.

I never shut up usually and with my job I have to be pretty confident socially. But meeting people from here turns me into miss nervous from shytown! Until I get to know them then I never shut up again

I find it hard to get my personality across online. In person I usually perform better and come across well.

Online 1/10

I need them I deal with people of all walks of life all day long.

And no matter what I think I've to keep it to myself and help them the best I can.

Yet out of work I like to have time to myself.

Socially awkward until I get to know someone. Even then some form of unintentional fuck-up or faux pas is only ever about two breaths away

I'm quite good at chatting and schmoozing, especially for work.

But I've definitely found over the last few years I've become way less sociable. I'm a lot more content with my own company, or with a few close friends, than in big social situations now.

I think the words you're looking for Peach are, aloof, brooding and socially awkward

I certainly do better in smaller groups and one to one's though.

More confident and social in chat as Lillie than in my male persona - quite common with Tv's apparently.

I've heard that a lot. I think it's a good tactic to learn though.

Haha enjoyed reading that post

I float like a butterfly. Always happy, confident and engage with everyone. Socialising has always been one of my strengths in general and work. I enjoy mixing and mingling with people face to face. It's nice. Really nice feeling.

I'm inclined to say we both have pretty good social skills, and at least one of us could talk the hind leg off a donkey, so definitely not shy!

I'm terrible. I'm really shy and prefer being with people I know. I hate crowds and lots of people.

I get anxious going to places where I know there will be lots of people, even if I know people there, and will generally hang around people I know rather than new people.

I'm much better in small groups and one to ones
