Everyone needs to know some social skills

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are interpersonal relationships. In addition to being a way for people to communicate with each other, interpersonal communication is also an important medium for people to obtain information flow. Knowing a little bit of social skills and communication skills can make yourself and others feel respected and happy.

Conversation Taboos

1. Avoid interrupting others: Superiors can interrupt subordinates, elders can interrupt younger people, but people of equal status have no right to interrupt others. If you and the other person start talking at the same time, you should say "Please" and let the other person speak first.

2. Avoid complementing the other party: The two parties in the negotiation are of equal status and familiar with each other. Sometimes it is not a big deal to appropriately complement the other party, but you must never complement each other at the negotiation table.

3. Avoid correcting others: A truly educated person is one who knows how to respect others. Respecting others means respecting their choices. Except for major issues that must be answered clearly, do not argue with others about right or wrong in general interpersonal communication, and do not make judgments casually, because right and wrong are relative, and it is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong on some issues.

Three Elements of Communication

1. Communication: Communication is mutual understanding, which includes two aspects: one is that you know something that others do not know, and the other is that others know something that you do not know. It is useless if you know something but others do not know it.

2. Awareness: As the saying goes, experts see the doorway, while laymen see the excitement. In formal occasions, many things have certain rules. If you don't know these rules, you will make a fool of yourself. For example, you can add ice to white wine, but don't add anything to red wine. Don't use a spoon when drinking coffee. The spoon has two uses: one is to stir it with milk or sugar cubes, and the other is to stir it to cool down the coffee if it is too hot. Insufficient awareness of rules not only damages your personal image, but also the image of the company you represent.

3. Interaction: Interaction means getting feedback from the other party and producing results. For example, Chinese people sometimes like to be polite. When they invite someone to dinner and prepare a lot of delicious food, they will say that the food is not good and ask for your forgiveness. In fact, they want to get praise from others.

Interpersonal communication is a big subject. In addition to the above points, there are many other aspects worth exploring.
