Improving Social Awareness

• To improve social awareness, start by observing nonverbal cues.
• Focus on the eyes (rapid blinking might indicate discomfort), mouth (genuine smiles crinkle the eyes), and shoulders (tight shoulders suggest stress, relaxed shoulders suggest openness).
• Tailor your behavior based on these cues. For example, avoid probing questions if someone seems tense.
• Use people's first names to show respect and build connection.
