One of the most fundamental social skills is attunement - the ability to be aware of your own feelings while connecting with another individual and managing conflict.

Attunement consists of four components that can help you stay in sync with others, especially in difficult conversations.

  3. Practice empathy
  4. Keep expressing interest.
