Social skills are not comparable to golf, they're comparable to being able to move around physically without tripping or falling into everybody within a 5 meter

Social skills are not comparable to golf, they're comparable to being able to move around physically without tripping or falling into everybody within a 5 meter radius of you. It's not a sport, it is a critical skill that everyone who expects to participate in modern society needs to have.

- burgerbrain 15y agoSocial skills have nothing to do with paralysis. Steven Hawking is permitted to lack mobility all he wants so long as he has some social skills. It's not that we can't put up with people with no social skills, it's that we shouldn't have to. If I can avoid dealing with your lack of social skills by simply not hiring you, you can be damned sure that's what I'm going to do.
