Forget about you. Set aside your skills, your intelligence, the money you earn or the prospects you have. Pick up on a different kind of intelligence. Social intelligence. Emotional intelligence. Learn body language. Train yourself to observe people. Talk about the person; not about you. Open conversations with lines such as "How can I help you?" "How are you?" and comments intended to make the first main topic of conversation the person you are speaking to. The order of conversations should be: The person you are speaking to, then some neutral third party topic that is possible of mutual interest, then finally you can open up the conversation about you - but hesitantly, as if it were an afterthought. Start with the above. I leave the acquisition of further experience and refinement of your social tool use to you.
