Socializing
On the one hand I think it's important to always try to improve my social skills. On the other hand, the only way it seems I can really improve with that is to socialize. Which means that failure seems a lot more dire than practicing something in a hypothetical situation. I always try to gain as much insight as I can from observing other people's social habits and different reactions to those, but there are limits to how far observation alone can help. At some point I have to go beyond observation and hypotheticals about how people might react and how I should react, and decide what I'm going to actually do.
I just don't think there's any good way to practice socializing like practicing other activities. I can read about it and observe it, or I can actually do it. There's not a lot of in-between.
