Social and interpersonal issues are different but closely associated challenges that encompass a wide range of relationship patterns and mental health issues related to poor social skills. According to Mission Connection’s resource, signs of these challenges include difficulty starting or maintaining conversations, challenges with nonverbal communication, frequent misunderstandings, emotional discomfort that can lead to avoidance of social situations, and loneliness.

The guide covers causes, noting that social issues may begin in childhood due to environmental factors or learned behaviors, but they also often impact individuals on the autism spectrum, as well as those struggling with mental health disorders like anxiety and depression.

Mission Connection’s resource says that one of the most effective ways to ameliorate social or interpersonal challenges is social skills training, which are structured sessions wherein a trained professional helps the individual develop social skills like assertiveness, active listening, and nonverbal communication through role-playing, coaching, and practice exercises. During these sessions, the individual will also be taught strategies that can be applied to their daily life to improve their mental health.

The guide adds that cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), interpersonal therapy (IPT), and mindfulness or somatic approaches are also used to help an individual with interpersonal difficulties. These modalities focus on reframing negative thought patterns, addressing the connection between relationship difficulties and mental health, and teaching relaxation techniques that can help relieve physical responses to social challenges, respectively.

To complement professional treatment, Mission Connection says that individuals can apply the skills they have been taught in safe social situations. Support groups, classes, and volunteer opportunities offer non-judgmental opportunities to practice interacting and building connections with other people.

Additionally, Mission Connection’s guide says self-criticism can fuel anxiety and isolation. To lessen the mental health impact of social and interpersonal challenges, the resource advises individuals to practice self-compassion to allow themselves room for growth.
