My social skills were pure shit 3 years ago.I only talked when i absolutely had to and used a bare minimum of words.My classmates used to find me "fascinating".
Then i read somewhere that Company's wouldn't choose you - no matter how good of a programmer you are - if your social skills are shit.
Truth is social skills are some really hard skills to master.
Small talk is an art - an extremely hard one,especially for the smart one's.
There are lot's of benefits if a person can increase their social game.
I used to think of people engaging in social interactions as extremely stupid.I used to sit in that corner looking at them with a smug look,thinking to myself,"What a bunch of idiots.". According to me,i was so smart that i didn't have anything common to talk about with the idiots.
One of my teacher's urged me to get more social and then i argued with him that social skills are meaningless and a waste of time.
Now,i'm a very social person and the perks that come along with it are amazing.
