How do I increase and work on my soft skills? I feel like I do okay but it's not a really big strength of mine. I'd rather just get on with things than sugarcoat. Anyways all help is appreciated.

Developing emotional intelligence takes time & being intentional with gaining new insights about people and the way they think and act. Since everyone has different personalities & individual struggles, you may find something on this list. It looks like there's something for everyone here: https://positivepsychology.com/best-emotional-intelligence-books/

What sort skills are you working on? You can be successful and still be direct or not sugar cost things. You replace opinions and feelings with facts.
But you can craft your message in a way that allows the other person to not feel attacked.

100% agree. I try to be as direct as possible. That’s generally very effective communication though you may still tailor your comms depending on your audience.

A strategy I learned is to start with a positive/compliment, then follow up with the critique. This way it doesn't sound like you're super negative.

Identify which soft skills you want to improve and focus on them one by one. It's also a great help to step outside of your comfort zone. Soft skills like interpersonal skills work effectively that way.

You need to thibj about which skills you need to prioritize. Asking for feedback from people around you is also very helpful because there may be parts about your work ethics that you fail to consider. Find online courses that attend to which skills you want to enhance.

What kind of soft skills would you be interested in learning? I, for one, have learned many things from Youtube University. Things like how to be more confident or how to be more engaging in conversation. There are many gurus on the internet, most of them free!

Food Story Time! I made matzo ball soup for lunch. Every time I make matzo ball soup, I think of Bubbie Ruth. She was my ex bf’s granny. The first time time I met Bubbie Ruth was the first time I tried matzo ball soup. She was cooking; I asked if I could watch. She used seltzer water and chicken schmaltz. Weeks later when we visited again. I offered to make her soup. She reluctantly said yes. I served it; she tasted. She was verklempt and said to her grandson, “Marry this goyem!”. 😂

Has anyone actually found love at work? My best friend started at a new company 6 months ago and she just took an offer somewhere else because she and her senior manager fell for each other. After 6 months she knew it was worth leaving her job for! I've been working at the same place for three years and I went on one date with a guy who didn't even work with me he just worked in the building. What am I doing wrong.
