I like being alone. Why should someone even try to improve on social skills when they value alone time?

1. Well, If you are looking to advance in something, whether it be in your goals, hobbies, etc., part of that will involve you learning how to market yourself to others, which essentially means exhibiting social skills. Nobody is going to realize how great or awesome you are if you have poor social skills.

2. Because one day you may wake up and realize you no longer want to be alone.

3. Just as an example there’s a particular product I need a lot of at a drugstore. Well I put off a lot of nice friendly attitude toward the workers there, and one clerk mentioned to me she was in charge of ordering that product for the store, so if I felt I needed more she could make sure they had it.

   There are benefits to being a friendly person, and it isn’t that difficult to ‘connect’ with people, even in brief interactions.

   In fact, that’s one of the best places to practice!
