Social Skills

This coming week I want to pray for better social skills.  Summer has been awful for my social skills and after being thrust back into the social scene I feel myself being uncomfortable and unwilling to engage in conversation, even with my close friends.  I prefer to just watch in silence.  On the occasions that I do join in conversation, I seem to forget all the rules of proper social conduct.  So I'm praying for the strength to not be afraid of conversation, but the restraint to be enjoyable to interact with.
