After 25\u201330 years, most people\u2019s social circle begins to shrink: life consists of a career, family and routine, and there is less and less time left to maintain old connections and make new ones. Therefore, the question \u201chow to become more sociable\u201d is equally relevant for both an 18-year-old introvert and a 35-year-old person who suddenly discovered that he had lost most of his friends.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u041a\u0430\u043a\u0438\u043c\u0438 \u043a\u0430\u0447\u0435\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0430\u043c\u0438 \u043e\u0431\u043b\u0430\u0434\u0430\u0435\u0442 \u043e\u0431\u0449\u0438\u0442\u0435\u043b\u044c\u043d\u044b\u0439 \u0447\u0435\u043b\u043e\u0432\u0435\u043a<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Communication skills are not just the ability to talk incessantly.
