The only "connect with people" thing that kinda bugs me, is that I'm extremely clumsy(verbally) when strangers casually try to interact with me at say a grocery store, park, or gym. If I do manage to actually add a psychiatrist and therapist to the group of people who are supposed to keep me alive.... I think working on that basic conversation skill could be the easiest and most useful "icebreaker" with the therapist.
