Someone here posted this article a while back which inspired me to be more conscious of myself as a figure in the lives of people I know. I'm curious if anyone has any other resources about related topics.

Personal rant: For a very long time I was a fairly outgoing and highly social person but since I’ve entered the work world (remote the majority of the time) I’ve noticed myself just becoming wayyyyy worse at personal interactions (lack of things to say, getting distracted in conversation, just generally becoming more antisocial/intimidated by talking to people). As part of a communist plot to make myself a better person, I’m trying to redevelop myself socially.

I plan on getting more involved in socialist orgs this summer, so there is an organizing advantage to improving in this respect too.

Figured I would ask here because I fear I would just get “read how to win friends and influence people" (I actually did read this at one point in early high school lol) or weird PUA-type social manipulation tips from many other places.

Thanks, gang!

    Reddit is filled to the brim with crap but if I were you - I'd still look around and see if there's a sub related to what you're looking for. At the sub the easiest thing to do is skip that page and instead go to the "top" link and sort by "all time". That's usually how I quickly judge a sub.
