What makes certain people good with others (socially) and what makes others socially awkward?

Question

Is it how you are raised, your personality...

How can a socially awkward person develop better social skills?

Answer 1

That's a good one. I would think it's a combination of both actually. The environment one's brought up in & their personality.

If they're naturally sociable with a love for attention, I'd think it would be easier for them to mix round with any crowd 'cause they have confidence and charm to go with it.

For those who're shy, it'd be a lot harder for them to sort of step out of their "comfort zone" - sometimes it's a matter of choice ::shrugs:: Some people just prefer to not join in/ are very private & would like to keep it that way.
