Social skills problems can involve difficulty interacting with others in appropriate, effective, or comfortable ways. People with social skills challenges may struggle with things like starting conversations, reading social cues, understanding personal space, or managing emotions during interactions. This can lead to feelings of isolation, low self-esteem, and trouble forming or maintaining relationships. Social skills problems are often seen in conditions like autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, social anxiety, and some mood or learning disorders. These difficulties can affect school, work, and everyday life, but with support and practice, many people can improve their social abilities over time.
