5 Advanced Social Skills You Should Master

A thread

Wherever and whenever you’ll read about social skills you’ll be told some bullshit like Active listening & “set up your boundaries”, but the truth is the interesting part of social skills is the more complex & aggressive skills that most are too cowardly to talk about.
- Confrontation

If you’re too afraid to go to confrontation: nothing you have learned about social skills will be useful to you.

The most important thing is not the confrontation itself, but your willingness to go to confrontation.
The reason is that most lack the balls & courage to go to confrontation and will back down as soon as they sense resistance from you.

Of course, this is very nuanced because it is not applicable nor recommendable in all situations.
Many times, you will find yourself tempted to confront someone but the power dynamics will simply not allow it.

This takes us to our next point.
- Power Intelligence

Understanding power dynamics and being able to grasp them at the first sight is an underrated skill that very few truly master.
This not only allows you to better understand the people around you but also better understand the intrapersonal relationships between each of them.
Acquiring power intelligence and a better understanding of power dynamics will help you make the right moves, befriend the right people and most importantly: avoid you a lot of trouble while saving you time.
Because if you piss off the wrong people, things might get ugly for you. When instead, with a higher power intelligence and awareness, you could’ve befriended those guys and had them on your side.
- Quick Responses

Someone who’s quick-witted and always has the right answer ready is someone people avoid messing with. It is also a sign of high awareness of what’s happening around them and is as such never taken by surprise.

The ONE thing you need to do is let go.

Except letting go is never easy.

In order to do it, there is no choice but to face everything.

My favorite method is pen and paper.

Write down EXACTLY what is making you feel depressed.

Visualize your demons.

Once you write down everything, it is time to think about a very simple question

What can I do about each of these stuff that is bothering me?

If you can do something about it, put a check.

If you can't do anything, leave it blank. We'll get back to this.

Now for all the stuff you can fix,

Define exactly what you should do to get it done.

Explicitly write what you need to do to stop worrying about this and that.

Fix a deadline.

You now have goals.

Achieve them.

I hate when I learn something new (to me) & stunning about the Jeff Epstein network (h/t MoodyKnowsNada.)

Where to begin?

So our new Secretary of State Anthony Blinken's stepfather, Samuel Pisar, was "longtime lawyer and confidant of...Robert Maxwell," Ghislaine Maxwell's Dad.


"Pisar was one of the last people to speak to Maxwell, by phone, probably an hour before the chairman of Mirror Group Newspapers fell off his luxury yacht the Lady Ghislaine on 5 November, 1991."

OK, so that's just a coincidence. Moving on, Anthony Blinken "attended the prestigious Dalton School in New York City"...wait, what? https://t.co/DnE6AvHmJg

Oh that's right.

Donald Barr was also quite a


I'm not going to even mention that Blinken's stepdad Sam Pisar's name was in Epstein's "black book."

Lots of names in that book. I mean, for example, Cuomo, Trump, Clinton, Prince Andrew, Bill Cosby, Woody Allen - all in that book, and their reputations are spotless.
