Advice to be an "effective" human being? I feel as though I am "blessed" in so many ways and yet it's not "enough" for my "satisfaction".?

Advice to be an "effective" human being :P... ???

Balance

I feel as though I am "blessed" in so many ways and yet it's not "enough" for my "satisfaction in life"... primarily, I am lacking in communication skills with other people. For whatever reason, I have become somewhat socially anxious and reserved even though others with less manage to be more effective and perhaps happier...

I consider myself to be more empathetic than the average person and have been commended for good traits my whole life. With my non-alpha personality however, I have probably benefited from being a large male preserving me from "bullying" that might have occurred otherwise....i.e. I'm "different" - would love to fix my communication flaws, although at the same time I am learning not to let outsiders govern my emotional state of mind.

    Drop your self-importance a little bit, you might think you're giving a good impression of yourself in this question, but there seems to seems be a lot of arrogance that you're hiding. Don't hide from yourself, if you're to scared to be yourself, then there's something definitely wrong.

    Advice? Get tested by a psychiatrist to determine what the cause of your lack of communication skills is. My guess is it's intrinsic and congenital, not purely psychological.
