Sometimes there are individuals who simply just don't do well with social situations that most people face everyday. Do you have trouble going through drive-thru restaurants? Have you ever had problems talking to people while at a party? Then it's likely you know exactly the type of issues that I am talking about. Honestly, I completely get it. But I have gotten a lot better with it. Occasionally, it's nice to see what you can do to better yourself while dealing with these situations. It's not so much that you are changing who you are (which you shouldn't do, necessarily). However, it's a matter of unlocking who you are inside, and that's a beautiful thing. Below are four sites devoted to aiding you in facing common social situations, and although I can't guarantee you that they will turn you into an extreme social butterfly, they should help.

Succeed Socially

websites for socially awkward people

I know what you're thinking, and no this site isn't one which will make you pay nine easy payments of $30.42 just to be emailed one paragraph on self improvement every day (with a well-hidden option to disable auto-renew). No, Succeed Socially is a legitimate site written by a real person. Furthermore, the content is meaty, thought-out, and thorough. Throughout the site are articles concerning simple questions that may be a little too embarrassing to openly ask. For instance, problems such as "I have a hard time meeting people and making friends" and "I struggle to make conversation"can be found here.

Improve Your Social Skills

Improve Your Social Skills is an online social skillsguide written by Dan, a fellow who, when diagnosed with Asperger's, didn't let social situations bring him down. On his site are lessons to aid with varying social problems and situations that the average person may face. However, those reading the content of this site would likely have much more trouble with them. This is a fantastic site for people who are looking for a writer that can relate to them, so I believe the credibility of ImproveYourSocialSkills.com goes without saying.

The Positivity Blog

The Positivity Blog is focused on true happiness, and seeing that being able to function properly in one's social life is a major building block to happiness, this is a great thing. Each article covers something that is related to social skills. However, it goes beyond social skills and into how those skills are applied. For instance, consider these titles: "It's Never Too Late To Change Your Life" and "7 Destructive Thought Habits That Can Hold You Back From Leading A Happier Life".  Ultimately, The Positivity Blog is about living a positive life.

People Skills Decoded

People Skills Decoded is another site devoted to giving quality social tips. Each article title is presented bluntly – "How To Stop Being Shy", "How To Be More Social" – and is written in an easy-to-follow format. The site seems to be full of great articles. However, it does offer a "free presentation" in exchange for your email address. As you may know, it's typically a good idea to avoid items such as this. Even still the site seems to be worth reading.

Conclusion

These are just a few tips to help you while working on your social skills. However, nothing will beat actually interacting with people. With that said, it might be a good idea to go and do that more often! What social skills tips do you have for other readers? Did these sites help you at all?
