Any great social skills resources?

Activites involving shared interests (according to many trusted studies) e.g., Arts related activities can be great ice-breakers - opportunties to reasses our strengths in oder to eventually reassess our weaknesses.

Personally, specfic social-skills resources have proven dissapointing - that is too many resources often focus on weaknesses - the opposite of reassessing strengths to get to weaknesses.
 
Personally, helpful experiences have come via people-watching (via osmosis) at locally-owned businesses frequented by thoughtful young, and middle aged adults.

In short, I've learned to be proactive (also by osmosis, and that "sixth sense") in avoiding "iffy situations." I've also been advised how to respond to difficult situations, and have come to understand common reasons why there are people who are well....difficult.
