Just as being active on social media is the demand of the era, being a real 'social person' is equally important. It is not only online communication, but also the social qualities within a person that determine how humane, how respectful and how practical he is.

It is absolutely true that many people ignore or do not know the characteristics that are necessary to become a real social person.

1. Empathy and Compassion: Being able to sincerely understand the feelings of others and be sympathetic towards them.

2. Effective Communication Skills: The ability to speak clearly, listen attentively and express opinions impartially.

3. Collaborative Attitude: Being able to work in a team and maintain a cooperative attitude with others.

4. Self-Control: Being able to control emotions and behavior, so that relationships with others are good even in difficult times.

5. Tolerance and respect: A patient mindset to accept differences and show respect to everyone.

6. Self-confidence: Having confidence in yourself, so that everyone can easily blend in with everyone in the social environment.

7. Positive attitude: The mindset of finding the good in others and always being optimistic.

8. Being honest and trustworthy: Creating an environment of truthfulness and trust to build and maintain relationships.

If someone holds these characteristics from the inner-heart and practices them accordingly, then not only the individual but also the society can move forward a lot.

Now the most important thing is to start practicing! Being ready to change yourself, and moving forward with small habits – this can be the beginning of big changes.
