Transforming Social Interaction: The Role of Reality Counseling in Skill Enhancement

Abstract

Interaction is very important for human life, because apart from being able to carry out all daily activities well, smoothly and easily, with this interaction, individuals will have many friends and will not feel lonely. However, on the contrary, if the individual cannot interact with his environment, then he will experience difficulties in carrying out his daily life, such as the emergence of introvert ed, shy, withdrawn, anti-social, and so on. The research article aims to determine the social interaction skills experienced by the counselee (resource person), as well as describe curative efforts to improve these social interaction skills through a reality counseling approach. This research uses descriptive qualitative methods with data collection techniques, namely interviews and observation. The research results show that curative efforts to improve social interaction skills are carried out in six stages, namely the stage of fostering good relationships, identifying desires, identifying current behavior (doing/direction), evaluating current behavior (self evaluation), planning responsible behavior (planning), evaluation and follow-up. The final result of counseling is that the client looks more confident when they want to greet, gather and play with their boarding house friends.
