My Quest to Become a People Person – Part 1
I’m a suitable candidate to write about this subject because I’ve come from a place where really, you had to be family to like me. I had precious few friends growing up and had a very lonely childhood.
My family was often telling me that I’m very intelligent and talented and so I tried to make sense of people not liking me by telling myself they’re jealous, shallow, or whatever.
I was a good person inside, so the people who did give me the benefit of the doubt and took the time to get to know me really grew to love me, but few people did that.
Only within the last few years did I realise that relating to people is a skill and I can become skilled at relating to people if I make the effort to learn it.
I’ve learned some things on the subject and about myself which I’m sure you will relate to if you also have poor relationship skills.
Even if you’re a great people person, you will certainly benefit from this post in some way.
