big_paps··on Ask HN: What can I do to improve social skills?
The most important thing is to be REALLY INTERESTED in other persons. Talking to the other gender without real interest is boring and a waste of time for both sides.

Besides that, BE INTERESTED in talking and expression itself. Start small. Set goals for each day like: Today i try to smile to other people and look them in the eyes and try to get 3 smiles back. the next day try to flatter 3 persons etc..

BE INTERESTED in other things than your job. Start to paint or read literature or whatever ... and you will start to have good conversations..

And be nice.

big_paps··on Ask HN: I want a new career, what should I do?
I am at a quite similiar situation, where i realize that i mentally will not be able to do my job for a several couple of years from now on. ( Also working as Freelancer )

I guess there is no "fast way out", but in the transitional period to something new(whatever it will be), it is important to find a new point of view on your work. What i mean is, that it often helps to look at the activities you dislike, as they would be more of a tai-chi training. Also: Focus on other aspects of your work, in multiple ways (Your feelings while working /or: aspects you neglected in the past / the product not the code / etc etc..)

Work less, slower and more clever.

While doing that, slowly find out where you would REALLY like to see yourself in 5 or 10 years. And don't panic.
