Who Is This Book For?
Have you ever searched for something interesting to say, wondered how to make new friends, or suffered from social anxiety? You aren’t alone. There are millions of other people in your shoes.1 Heck, I used to have similar problems. These days I can talk to almost anyone and handle everyday social situations with ease. However, it’s been a long journey fraught with challenges before I reached my destination.
There’s no doubt about it – communication skills are vital to success. Whether you want to improve your romantic relationships, build closer bonds with your family, make your friendships stronger, or boost your career, you absolutely must polish your communication skills.
Communication should be natural – so why do we find it challenging?
All the progress the human race has enjoyed comes down to communication. Think about it. How would we have invented our first tools, raised families, built societies, and formed governments if we hadn’t been able to communicate effectively? We need these vital skills to form relationships, exchange ideas, and enjoy spending time with family and friends.
Unfortunately, our life experiences often get in the way, and we start to lose touch with our natural abilities. For example, if you are bullied at school, you might come to believe that you are an intrinsically unpopular person who will never make friends. In this kind of situation, it makes sense that your social relationships will suffer.
Personally, I was raised in a family of high achievers. As a result, I often felt as though any ideas I proposed were bound to be criticized. My mother says that I was a confident preschooler, but by the age of seven, I’d started to become shy.
