How do I improve my EQ/behavioural skills in the workplace?
Would engaging in small talk with as many people at work as possible, and as often as I can, help speedrun my development in this area?
I'm a naturally antisocial and introverted person who dislikes most people so I'd have to go out of my way and force these interactions if required. One of my problems is that I'm too calculated in my interactions with others which I consider transactions. If I feel like interacting with this person will offer me nothing professionally or emotionally in the long term, then I would feel zero need to interact with them at all. I know that's ironic since I'm f*** all too.
Having said that though, I am interested in improving my emotional intelligence and the way I carry myself at work, to be positive and have good healthy working relationships with others.
