How can I develop better interpersonal skills?!
Question: How can I develop better interpersonal skills.?
I would like to develop better interpersonal skills. I suffered an extremely abusive childhood and I failed to develop normal social skills, and if effects me a great deal. I have trouble handling normal friendships, relationships, and workplace relationships.
I need to improve my communication skills, I definitely need to learn when and how to set boundaries and keep them. I have several other social deficits including handling conflict resolution and being direct and assertive about my feelings and needs. I tend to give til it hurts and then run away when I can't deal anymore, instead of dealing with my problems or issues or working them out. It hurts everyone involved.
Is there a way I can be trained to have better social skills.? Would there be some kind of group therapy where people can practice interacting.? Do you have any suggestions.?Health Question & Answer
