How can I improve my social skills?

I used to suffer from social anxiety, but that’s under control now with medication. I feel much better and want to build a social life for myself. But I am rubbish at socialising! I’ve realised I am crap at keeping a conversation going and at asking questions. I seem to lose focus quickly. How can I improve?

Glad you are feeling better OP!

I would suggest starting small and trying a few activities or something like that where you can talk to people but it’s not the sole focus.

Remember people like to talk about themselves so good to ask questions. You can try and bring the topics round to things you are interested in.
