People skills
I used to think I knew what people skills were and that I had them. I have come to find through this piece, that I had a wrong definition and that the older I get, the less skills I have. I have almost become antisocial.
Kim,
I am glad this has helped you.

I totally agree with you?
When I was younger I noticed that most of the time I found older people grumpy(Grumpy old men)
I think that I am getting too that stage now. Working hard not to let it happen!
It seems that as we are growing up we nurture and develop people skills that set us up for the interaction with many people and a lifetime of work and as we mature and get older we interact with less and less people and the skills that we were using are now not applicable. Also generational changes and interactions have also impacted the ability/inability to aquire and put into practice good people skills.
Marcus,
To a certain degree, I am finding the same thing about myself. I think that the older I get, the less patience and tolerence for "stupid" mistakes I have.
This is a good self-reflecting excersice.
Marcus,
Good to hear you had a revelation. Keep pushing yourself.
