Improve social skills..
Hi. I'm a fourteen year old girl and I have terrible social skills. It comes to my attention that I only have two friends and I can't carry conversations very well(they end quickly.) I can make friends online, just like that, but that's different. The other night, my parents had friends over&& they started asking me questions and when I answered..they looked at me like what the he-y? It got really awkward, I wanna be able to make friends and know what to say/how to say. Advice is much appreciated. <3(:!
How can I improve my social skills?

Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
What I would say is: just be yourself. I know it sounds like some stupid advice but it's true. You are perfect just the way you are

I would say to try and work on transitions. When someone asks you a question, don't just respond. Respond with an answer and then transition to asking them something about them. Try a topic that both of you have in common-that should help to keep the conversation going.
Oh, and maintain eye contact and smile!
Hope this helps!

Talk about common interests and hobbies maybe even movies and sports if your into it. Basically put yourself out there and dont think about it so much. Talk to your classmates,peers and friends more and when people see your confidence they will want to talk to you more plus talking to people you normally wouldnt helps you improve your social skills as well. :)
