> I have been described as having very poor social skills by my pdoc but nobody has explained exactly what they are. I've tried googling but get vague/generalised answers. Can anyone help?
I guess it's a hard question to answer. Have you asked your proc to be more specific? Where does s/he see you lacking? There's no real clear definition of "social skills" so it's not surprising that google doesn't turn much up. Do you have problems making friends? Sustaining relationships? Dealing with workplace interpersonal stuff? If so, do you see a therapist to discuss these issues?
Sometimes, if people have difficulty with relationships and "social skills," group therapy can be very helpful, since other group members will notice areas where your interpersonal interactions cause problems.
