I think that sometimes when introverts say they have terrible social skills, they are rating themselves according to a certain idea of socializing, a way that society, in general, considers the norm. They may not have the gift of gab or the energy to be the life of the party, but introverts need to realize that they have natural assets that produce incredible social skills.
So true, I wish I could like this post several times! In general, introverts are capable of creating meaningful connections. Which is far more valuable than simply knowing a lot of people 🙂

I believe to each his own – but yes, if more people at least tried to follow this as a base-line for how to conduct oneself (with an open mind of course) then I feel the world could be a better place.
