“What were some key moments or techniques that actually helped you improve your social skills in real life? I’m not just looking for generic advice like ‘be confident’ or ‘just talk more’ — I want to hear personal stories, specific mindset shifts, or techniques that made a difference for you (especially if you started from a place of anxiety or awkwardness). What changed the game for you?”

Any books, mindset frameworks, conversation tips, or behavioral routines are also welcome. I’m currently putting myself in more social situations deliberately, but I want to sharpen the how part too.”
