I’m not much of a people person, but I get pressured by people close to me to open myself up and be cautious about what I say. I have a baby face and people don’t tend to take me seriously, I get told frequently to dress mature. I also get told to go drink and club when I don’t want to just because people deem it normal socialising. I’m the honest, blunt person who has a hard time figuring out why people do pointless things like chit-chat, gossip and what not. Even if I did not do all that I get judged from what I don’t say, how do I get along with people and still be myself? I can’t be myself when I’m around a large crowd, I don’t much seek it, but I’ve been told it’s crucial to survival to make friends, get jobs and build a family. I don’t much want a family, I want a job, however it’s hard because I don’t know many people and interviewers see me as a child. What can I do to improve my communication skills?
