How does lacking in communication link to SA

[popolala]

I heard people saying that they dont know how to communicate and struggle with what to say, but what make you think that being a bad communicator has something to do with SA?

It only has something to do with SA if it makes you feel nervous, anxious therefore you are unable to give a clear reply that make sense.

but if you are not in a nervous situation do you think your reponse to the question or whatever you are communicating would been better? .. If not then, its not related to social anxiety but you personally.

I think communication skills need to be developed. It relates to empathy, because you have to understand or can sense someone emotion to respond right to fit their mood. Or you end up saying the wrong thing, but that depends.

At the end, i think lack communication skills is not nessasrily link to SA, unless SA has stop you from interacting with others therefore lacking communication skills.

So i think that to improve communication one must be empathetic

Bingo for me

I never could interact well with others. I've never been good with what to say or how to say things. So, I've always been very reserved and to myself. Idk if it's b/c SA but I know that's they are a part of me and my social awkwardness.

I've had SA since a very, very young age so I've never been very good at communicating with people very well.
Now being older, and still having SA, I've developed the inability of knowing how to communicate with people and even the simplest of conversations are a nightmare for me.
Both because I don't know how, and because of the SA.

I hope what I said made sense... I don't normally do, so I've been told =/

Absolutely true!

Lack in communication does strongly related to SA.. it is not about the skills, it is about the openness towards others to communicate with them.

I don't attract people because I have nothing to say. Everything sounds like blah blah blah to me. I'm a cynical jerk.

 

[cosmosis]

A lot of communication problems with people with SA is not so much the lack of skill but that we are focusing on what's the 'right' response out of fear..making sure we can't be judged wrong. Nothing interesting ever comes out of fear. It is so much easier for people who lack fear to say interesting, funny things as that is what they are focusing on.

I just don't care about people at all.

This is a vague comment. Situations are all different, and it's hard to think of examples.

I've always understood the meaning of empathy, but it seems to involve a situation where a person who prays, because they are lost, or asks for help from someone. My point is, if you're no longer a child, you can feed yourself, and you don't need Mummy, what's it all about?

A person beside a road in a car accident with entrails all over the place with no arms left, and not able to call 999 / 911 I would try to help.

If a good friend was sad, I might chat for a while, or suggest some advice. Chatting to a complete stranger in the street seems pointless, as you walk past each other, or talking about something, waiting in a queue at the checkout.

I'm good at reading, writing and talking, but less at listening, and if there's no valid topic to talk about, then I'm not interested.

This seems the reason why my employment is always truncated pretty soon after starting. In the office: "I'm not your daddy. Why are we talking?"

I should have been in the army. I'd save people's lives, or kill people, or would die. I would only talk about the weather if we were about to encounter a hurricane or tornado, in need of shelter...

Smalltalk is a pet hate

Smalltalk is an icebreaker that can lead to deep talk or big talk.
