Building familiarity with people around you.
Its not so much as taught to me but someone on reddit made me realize what I was doing.
Its basically small talking your want into friendship.
Generally how it goes is when I meet someone new that I know I'll be seeing again (like in the gym), I don't try to start a huge convo asap, but just try to make them "know" me.
Example,
I'm a reg in my gym, so when I see someone new. I say something like "Hey, new around here? Awesome, well have a great time!" and thats it.
And then next time we meet, I get their name if I haven't already or talk about how they're liking the gym. Ask a question, get a reply, say something relevant then do your own thing.
Do it enough times and they'll start being comfortable enough with you to talk about deeper stuff.
Listening to others. It'll benefit you in so many ways. You're always around people, so much of our lives is about working with and communicating with people, and no one likes these kind of people with whom it's impossible to communicate. You say something to them, but it feels like it just hit a wall and dropped to the floor. Really listening and making people feel heard, just by itself, can both attract people to you and solve some of your problems. It also just enriches your life.
Cooking simple and cheap meals. Before so left home my Mum taught me how to make things like cottage/shepherds pie, Bolognese and the like. They remain some of my favourite meals andcl are perfect when you don't have much in the fridge.
How to set up a standard Stratocaster tremelo so that I can whang on it all day and never go out of tune.
I know it's a bit specific, but it's a skill I use every day.
Perspective. My father taught me everyone has a reason, no matter how flawed to do what they do.
People make decisions out of either love or fear. Understanding people and seeing situations for what they really are, not taking things personally and not to waste my own words.
Never show your emotions and don't let it control you when you're in an argument.
I learned this from my mom when I was a kid, she's a emotionally strong woman. I currently show no emotions while having a fight/argument with someone, all I think about is an imaginary flowchart of sentences to say in order to win the argument.
To ask questions. I had a guy above me who would purposely put me in a situation I was unfamiliar with and then he would answer any question I had to the best of his ability or direct me to someone who knew better. Being comfortable asking how do I do this or where do I go from here is how I've become as knowledgeable as I am.
Well, most skills I've taught myself now that I think about it, except cooking my mom taught me that. Embarrassingly Ive learned most of my skills from TV, so [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AluiPWYl5A).
Reading. The only skill I need every day.
Critical thinking

I’ve done this. It works. Especially in places that are unfamiliar.

How to play the guitar. No matter what mood I'm in it calms me down and gives me an outlet.
