6 TIPS TO BECOME
SOCIAL COMPETENCE

Social Competence
 Social connection is one of the human needs to
help you become successful in life.
 It does not matter where you go or what you are
doing; most likely, you would have to interact and
build relationships with others.
 You must start the process correctly because the
first impression matters.

#1: Become a valuable person
 Become so valuable that others would want to
be around to learn from you.
 Learn to master a skill that everyone sees
valuable that they can learn from.
 When you have something useful to share,
your confidence level increases to help you to
express yourself more successfully in a social
environment.

 Also, focus on becoming a better person daily.
 Work on improving your communication skills,
health, relationship, and every other life area.
 The better you become, the more confidence
you would become to express yourself better
and to connect with others.

#2: Share your strengths and
weaknesses
 Sharing your strengths to others allow them to
ask you for help with things that are related to
your strengths, which can build the relationship.
 When you share your weaknesses, others can
return a favor by supporting you because they
might have the strengths that you need to
improve your weaknesses, which can also increase
your relationship building.

Share your strengths and
weaknesses
 Sharing your weaknesses to others does not mean
you are not a valuable person.
 It shows that you are willing to learn and improve,
and that is true strength and courage.
 Also, when others see and understand both sides,
your strengths and weaknesses, they can better
understand you, which is important in relationship
building.

#3: See yourself as equal to
others
 As human beings, we are all equal, which means
you have the same ability to be as great as anyone
else.
 Even though others might have more knowledge
than you on a specific subject or have a higher
ranking in society, it does not mean you are below
them.
 It just means that they have worked hard to build
up their expertise and ranking in society.

See yourself as equal to
others
 You can do the same thing as others by
mastering a specific skill.
 When you see yourself as equal and in the
same playing field as others, you are more
open up to learn from them and also allow
them to learn from you.

#4: Become a positive
person
 If you want to attract and build relationships with positive
people, you must become a positive person first.
 Do not expect positive people to come to you when you are
negative.
 As a matter of fact, positive people would do whatever it takes
to stay away from you when you are a negative person .
 They do not want your negative energy to be transmitted to
them.

Become a positive person
 The faster you work on becoming a more
positive person, the quicker positive people
will enter your life.
 Also, it will be easier to build relationships
with positive people than with negative
people.

#5: Become a friendly person
 You have to be comfortable and willing to
open up to every person you meet and help
others when necessary.
 You want to let others know that you want to
connect and build a relationship with them
because people are not mind readers.

Become a friendly person
 Every time you see a person, you want to nod or smile at
them when you passed them.
 By doing that, you are acknowledging and willing to be
opened to start a conversation to begin the relationship
building.
 If people accept or reject your invitation when you nod or
smile at them, it is up to them.
 But it is your responsibility to let others know that you are
open to a connection.

#6: Dress with confidence
 When you dress your best, you will feel more
confident about your body, which means you will feel
more confident about yourself.
 Sometimes we might be afraid to be in a social
environment because we are afraid that others might
judge us negatively, and this includes the way we
dress.
 So when you dress with confidence, it decreases other
people's negative perceptions about you but also
builds your self-confidence.
