Nowadays, in order to success, not only high IQ is important but EQ is the main thing that differentiates between two individual. As for me, i have problems socializing with people, it seems difficult for me to get into a group's conversation etc...
I think mainly this is mainly because i concern too much that i may say the wrong things. Do you have any suggestion on how to improve socializing skills?
Thanks in advance :D

I too have a problem socializing before. I am a very introverted person then. What I've learned was, to be able to socialize with people is to socialize with people. Get out more often by shutting down the computer, game console or whatever and interact with people. The first step is always the hardest, but once you get through it everything will run smooth. Just like riding a bicycle. Anyway, do not be afraid of saying something wrong. Every person makes mistakes. If you cannot get into a group's discussion, then go and look for another group. I am a toy collector and I would go to conventions where I could talk to fellow collectors. Be casual and be yourself.

It's really simple. You just have to think of a common topic you'd both like. If for instance the other person doesn't know about it then explain to her what it is but not that in-depth. After explaining, smoothly transition to another topic but this time by asking questions so this time she will be the one talking.
