So you have a large group of friends and a very busy social life? How many friends to you speak with every day? How many do you text with every day? How often do you go out with your friends?
It just seems like you spend an inordinate amount of time on here for someone with excellent social skills. I would have guessed you spend 95% of your time alone and have no close friends, largely due to your terrible social skills.
Having friends you "speak with every day" or "text with every day" is the measure of one's social skills? I have a lot of great friends. Aside from my girlfriend, I can't say there are any I speak to every day.
Must be pretty good since I made my living as an on the road insurance salesman, walking out the door with a check from a total stranger, hey! 33 years of that,
Not bad Greg; as an 85 yr old I can mingle with the young as well as the old. And I'm not too bad with these fancy-smancy smart phones either 🤳 We've come a long way since back in the day when I was your age and all we had were these primitive landline phones. ☎️ Lol.
wow good for you to navigate the online world
many your age aren't online

Interesting, are you on the spectrum too? I wouldn't have isolated the two questions out of the four, or thought the four in conjunction were some sort of definitive test (rather than conveying a concept of having and maintaining friendships as being indicative of social skills). And, while I suppose you can define "a lot" and "great" in a way to not be a liar, I have my doubts that you do have "a lot" of friends and that all of them are great.
How many "great" friends do you say you have? What makes them "great"?

By your definition, the person who has a hundred friends and speaks to all of them 6 days per week is less social than the person who has one friend, but speaks to that friend every day. I'm just trying to understand your logic.

Rating social skills is not a fixed entity. In order to truly rate them, you'd have to know where you're strong and weak. For example:
Social interaction initiation: 2...I usually won't be the conversation starter
Social interaction participation: 8...I'm good at keeping conversation going
Openness to random conversation out of the blue? 3...being approached makes me uncomfortable
Awareness of non-verbal cues: 6...I'm fairly perceptive
Eye contact: 1.5...This has always needed work
Ability to shift topics: 9....my best friend likes having me on road trips because when I'm not driving, my incessant talking keeps him awake when he drives.
Professionalism: 7...sometimes my volume is too loud for some settings
Small talk: 3 ...my brain doesn't think in terms of small talk
Attentiveness: 6...i listen until I'm distracted.
Average score: 5.1....fair to middlin.
Stop trolling and go for a run.

Why don't you take your own advice? What are your PRs?
Question: Without trolling, without silence, how can you express the truth?
Answer: I always remember springtime in western Canada. The moose clamor among innumerable kinds of pungent flowers.

ahh... to clamour again upon her pungent flower. those were the days. she might have even had three flowers that last dream
If they were any lower, they’d be whale sh!t at the bottom of the ocean. But that’s fine with me, I don’t like being social.

Dude...this is the most clear trolling thread you have ever begun.
It's more than ok, but no, your socials skills are not excellent.
Mine are solid but not excellent, but the only reason they aren't excellent is that I don't really want to be around most people. I'm no partier. I'd rather watch some movies with The Lovely Mrs. Flagpole than go be social with just about anyone else.

My social skills are find and you've never interacted with me in person. Don't take this board too seriously.

1) Who said I take this board too seriously?
2) No, your social skills are not "fine". It's ok, brother...you have a valid reason why they aren't, but they aren't.
