>What motivated you to reintegrate?
For me it was the fact that I know that the lifestyle wasn't sustainable for me. I can and still do live with my parents, and if I didn't work I would have all my expenses covered, but for how long? I figured the sooner I started reintergrating, the easier it would be.
>How did you do it?
Signed up for school and went. Got an internship after my formation and work for the government now.
>What did you do to learn normal social skills?
Experience, I guess. Most of it was learned through exposure. Maintaining a conversation is as simple as asking questions. Ask a question they can't answer with yes or no, you get them going for a good 30 seconds. Majority of people just like hearing themselves talk.
Something else that came as an epiphany to me that you may know already but really helped for me was that being a social human being is all about surface level appearances and facades. Asking how people are doing, pretending to care about what they do on the weekend, etc. Pretending to care makes people like you, pretending that you are always 100% happy makes people like you. Always smiling makes people like you.
And that people are extremely conflict adverse and dislike negativity. I don't know why, but you disliking something, even given valid reasons will often make people have a poorer opinion of you.
So simply, I avoid conflict unless necessary, and apply the "if you have nothing good to say, say nothingPost too long. Click here to view the full text.
