The guiding principle
Social skill is not pretending to be someone else.
It is understanding how interaction works, communicating your intentions clearly, recognizing other people’s needs, and deciding which conventions are useful. You are allowed to be direct, ask questions, protect your energy, and adapt every tool to your values.

Use place, purpose, relationship, and behavior to understand what a situation may require.
Starting, Joining, and Ending Conversations
Enter and leave interactions with less uncertainty and fewer awkward openings.
Creating Balanced Conversations
Manage turn-taking, listening, questions, detail, and topic sharing.
Clarifying Implied Meaning
Handle hints, vague language, indirect requests, humor, and uncertainty without mind-reading.
Boundaries, Consent, and Personal Space

Handling Social Misunderstandings
Clarify intent, acknowledge impact, repair, and learn without excessive shame.
