um what's going on guys coming at you guys with a

quick presentation um what develops social skills um i felt

this would be a good topic to talk about um

if you ask me what develops social skills i feel um life experiences life experiences develop social skills.

I truly believe a big reason to why some people have good social skills,

it is because they've had experiences in life that cultivated a good self-image.

Because in order to have good social skills, an individual must have confidence and they must have a good self-image

and these things are cultivated through life experiences

and it you know like you you gotta have um you

gotta have good life experiences i feel to be a social

butterfly um the reason to why some people i believe lack social skills is

because they don't have good life experiences because

when you're a person who's had a lot of bad things happen to you in life,

when you've had a lot of bad circumstances, it's going to be hard for you to have confidence

and it's going to be hard for you to have

that positive self-image because it's a reason why some people have good social skills.

And I do believe looks plays a role in why some people have good social skills, but I believe most important,

you know, is the looks, you know, because when you look a certain way, you'll have better experiences.

Because I remember even in middle school and high school, you know, looking back with the mindset that I have now,

the people who were considered attractive, those are the people who had the good social skills.

Those are the people that were outgoing.

So that just go to show you that it'll be easier for you to be,

for you to have good social skills when you're a person that's attractive

because the world is just more inviting to people who have superior genetics.

And this is a brutal truth that a lot of people wouldn't want to admit,

but the world is way more inviting,

you know, the world is just way more inviting towards people who have good genetics,

you know, versus people whose genetics are not so good.

And for that reason, that is why people who are attractive tend to have better social skills.

You know, if, you know, a lot of people like to blame certain people for having bad social skills.

Ever since I was a kid.

I've always been able to talk to pretty much anyone.

I never felt that I had bad social skills, but.

But I do believe that anxiety, social anxiety is something that certain people deal with.

But I do believe that social anxiety also comes from bad life experiences as well.

Because if you are a person who's had a lot of bad experiences in your life,

then naturally a person like that would have social anxiety.

you know you know it's real and a lot of people they like to condemn certain people who don't have

good social skills but a lot of people don't understand that good social skills come from,

you know, good life experiences.

You know, you got to have a good life in order to have, you know, to be an outgoing person.

Because I believe people who have the good social skills, they have that good self-image and they have that confidence.

But if you're a person who's been bullied, you've been ridiculed, you've been treated bad

it's going to be very hard for you to develop good social skills

so in my personal opinion when it comes to social skills I truly believe

having good social skills is based on your life experiences and a lot of people don't want to admit this,

that your life experiences will determine your social skills because some people have,

some people have it far more challenging than others.

I'll just say it that way.

And this is why I don't think people should try to beat up on people

who don't have good social skills because you don't know what transpired in those people's lives to make them,

you know, the way they are, to make them, you know, not have good social skills.

You just never know what those people went through in their life or what type of challenges that they had,

you know, that made them the way that they are.

I truly believe that if everybody was treated the same in this world,

that everybody would have good social skills.

Leave your comments and let me know what you think about that.

If everybody was given the same opportunities in this world,

I do believe that everyone would have good social skills.

But unfortunately, you know, there is a certain thing called discrimination and everybody is not given the same opportunities.

You know, some people are given opportunities that other people are not given.

And for that reason, this is why everybody cannot have good social skills.

Because even the people that have bad social skills,

trust me, they don't want to have bad social skills.

It's just the cost that they've been dealt and, and, and, and the circumstances that they had to endure, you know, that put them,

you know, in, in a certain position, you know, um, you know,

this is why I say social skills,

you know, good social skills come from good life experiences,

you know that's what i truly believe um i i believe people who um

faced a lot of rejection

and just people who faced a lot of ostracization in life

um those type of people are are the very people that uh you know,

those are the very type of people that have problems socially.

Me personally, I never had trouble really socializing with people.

You know, I'm cordial.

I speak to people, you know, I'm not a mean type of person,

you know, but I do believe when it comes to being a social person,

you know, you have to be a person that's approved socially, you know, because everybody is not approved socially,

you know, you know, like, this is the reason to why, like, in middle school and in high school,

certain people, they didn't want certain people in their cliques.

You remember middle school and high school, people were very cliquish in that time period.

And people didn't even want certain people to be a part of their little entourage.

It's a reason why that was.

Because discrimination is real, guys.

It's very, very real. And,

you know this is why like in order to have good

social skills to sum this up you gotta have good life experiences I truly believe the people who have good social skills

those are the people who've had good life experiences you know Those are the people who was treated well in life

The people that was constantly treated like garbage in life the people who was constantly ridiculed,

bullied, picked on, mocked, those people, I mean, they couldn't have good social skills if they wanted to.

You know?

You know, it's a reason why they have outgoing people and why they have people who are introverted.

I mean, it's a reason for these things, guys.

But you guys let me know what you think.

Do you believe people who have good social skills,

do you believe these people have those good social skills because they had good experiences in life?

because I truly believe that the people who have good social skills,

it's a reason why they got them good social skills.

It's because they have had good life experiences.

100

I believe that's what sums it all up.

101

I mean, you know, take a person who's considered attractive.

102

You know, they were popular in school.

103

You know, they was on the football team.

104

I mean, do you really think social skills are going to be hard for a person like that?

105

you know, a person like that is going to easily click socially,

106

you know, it's not going to be hard for an individual like that to develop good social skills.

107

So, you know, it's a reason why some people have good social skills and why some people don't.

108

It's because of the experiences that they've had in their lives.

109

But you guys leave your comments.

110

I felt this was a great, insightful topic to talk about because, you know, I notice people who have bad social skills,

111

a lot of these types of people tend to get bashed.

112

But it's like, I mean, do you understand why these people have bad social skills?

113

Because, you know, like they always say, it's a reason for everything.

114

You know, life is full of cause and effect.

115

So, you know, it's a reason why some people have bad social skills.

116

And it's also a reason why some people have good social skills.

117

But I'm going to go ahead and sign out.

118

You guys have a good one.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
