What is the best way to improve communication skills?

[Anonymous]

Hello, I am a 26 year old female

People usually think I'm a kind-hearted and even an affectionate person and many of them actually took steps towards me and wanted to keep me in their lives but I never made much of an effort to make friends with anyone.. I've never been a people person. I was that lonely, quiet, shunned child..

I still don't have that many friends.. I have terrible communication skills because I always avoided interacting with people wherever I can.. and I never even had a proper job, never stayed in the same workplace for more than a couple of months..

I want to change this now, I want a normal life and a proper job

Any advice will be much appreciated

Thank you

Best way is by self development.
>Improving your vocabulary.
>Read out loud to practice pronunciations.
> Use recordings to practise conversations

Depending on where your anxiety stems from, if its this, then you need not to worry. You don't necessarily need human contact to develop your communication skills.

I'm on route to developing mine.

Try to be more warm and welcoming. And if you see someone who needs a extra hand or drops something and seems to be having a bad day just take the moment. And hold that door or pick up that pen/pencil or other object they dropped and just make the once in a while thing to make somone elses day maybe just a bit brighter.

Well, I think that some Dale Carnegie's book on communication and relationship building could help, alongside professional help if you experience anxiety and/or depression.

there two types of communication first is verbal and the other is non verbal communication.
you can learn more effectively both of these terms on youtube.
