Social Skills by Manit Mallesh

I’ve tried starting conversations they didn’t even last 30 seconds. I’ve tried waiting until someone talked to me but, that would’ve gone forever. I even tried annoying people until they talked, but they kept on ignoring me. I believe that social skills are a good skill that will help anyone in their life.

It all started when I moved into a new school and tried making friends; however, my social skills have kept me from achieving what I wanted to do in my 6th-grade year. I tried talking to as many students as possible, but no one would respond back. I went home every day trying to ruminate something that would improve my social skill, but nothing came to mind. Eventually, as the school year went on I kept on trying to talk and practice my social skills. I went home every day, practicing my talking skills. I kept on bothering my parents and my brother by talking to them as much as possible. I became better at it each time I did it! Soon enough, people stopped ignoring me and people started to talk to me. There were people trying to talk to me frequently every day.

I have learned many valuable things as I went through this terrifying experience and I'm also really grateful for having this experience because now I'm able to learn from the mistakes I did and help newcomers from other schools. Using my past experiences to help others is always an awesome thing to do and It also has an awesome feeling to it.
