I have heard that social skills are very important. (I'm an engineering major.)
What kind of social skills, specifically, are important? I have no problem carrying a conversation with an intelligent person about either a common interest we share or about an idea. This ranges from engineering to guitars.
However, I have absolutely no intuition about interacting with someone who either doesn't understand what I'm saying or I honestly don't care what they're talking about.
If it's the first, I guess I'm good. If it's the latter, am I just supposed to fake an interest in their subject, even if it is (commonly) something like shopping?
