Thanks to modern technology, tons of people are completely falling back when it comes to learning social skills. When you can easily communicate with others through a screen (whether it’s your phone, laptop, or tablet), there’s no reason to feel pressured into interacting with others in the real world. Still, if you want to cultivate genuine friendships or romantic relationships, some face-to-face contact is definitely going to be required. 

If those things aren’t at the top of your priority list, though, getting by without any social skills isn’t exactly the end of the world. The good news is that if you care about improving your social skills, it doesn’t take very long to figure out how to make the necessary changes. Ask people questions about themselves, showcase a genuine interest in what they have to say, and be responsive. If improving your social skills is the last thing you care about, sit back and laugh at these funny memes!
