How to be more social intelligent?

Welcome, this is Character GYM, the place where you work out your character and this are the ways to improve your Social Intelligence

1. Practice assertiveness techniques

These techniques give you of ways of saying things in kind ways that express what you are feeling or wanting without appearing aggressive. They are not ways of forcing people to do what you want them to do – that is a misunderstanding of assertiveness.

2. Be aware of your non-verbal communication

A real advantage of offline face to face communication is all the body language and tone of voice that goes with it.

3. Don’t fall into the vicious circles of misunderstanding

If someone responds to your frustration or concentration in a particular way then it may lead to you responding with irritation towards them – not understanding why they are in such a bad mood. You may feel that the other person was getting at you and so become defensive or even angry at them. 

4. Use social intelligence online as well as offline

I think those of us who lack this social intelligence may come over better online as it gives us chance to think through what we want to say and how things might be misunderstood and misread before we say them. In face to face spoken conversation we rarely have that opportunity. 

5. Communicate authentically

Developing social intelligence is not about becoming manipulative. It is important to use it effectively that you are aiming to convey clearly your true intentions. By doing this your strengths of integrity is working alongside your social intelligence helping you to display other strengths such as kindness and patience.
