People skills matter just as
People skills matter just as much, if not more than, intellectual ability (not just for career, but for your overall happiness).
I actually realized this during my soph year of college and made improving my people skills my top (really, only) priority for that year. In that one year, I went from being a dorky kid who had only had one gf to a popular kid dating one of the hottest girls at my uni. Amazing what you can do if you set your mind to it.

I'm surprised you were able to pull that off. I had a few dorky friends in high school, and I tried my best to help them out, but nothing seemed to work. For the most part, from what I've witnessed social skills are something that come naturally. Congratulations, on making the transformation.

They come more naturally to some people, but if you have good instruction, anyone can get a whole lot better. It takes a TON of effort and practice, I can't stress this enough. Literally everything changes and you become a totally different person. It's been 5+ years since my soph year, have had some really good times since then.
