Your head would explode trying to remember all this!

Concentrate on the Action steps and number 3.
These are do-able and can be applied to every situation.
Confidence comes from from building on what you know.- so learn these two social skills.

While these are all good techinques-your only making it too hard for your self.
Learn something small that you will get a lot from instead of learning a lot and getting nothing from!..... wooo that's smart, we'd that come from:confused:
