I wouldn't say you had bad basketball skills just because you have better things to do than play the game with me.

There are people who are a priority to me, and they seem to like my social skills just fine. And if someone wants that out of me, they aren't going to get there by telling me I have poor social skills or that I don't smile enough. That's burning your bridges, and not an example of someone in a position to offer criticism.

If you refused to ever play basketball, I WOULD say you have bad basketball skills. You can only have skills if you play.

I do play, just not when you want me to.

You are contradicting yourself.

If you stop playing basketball halfway through a game, and your rationale is "I do what I want, not what you guys want" you have _both_ poor basketball skills _and_ bad social skills.

I think your analogy is being taken too far and is starting to unravel.

So Michael Jordan now has bad basketball skills?

abstaining from something doesn't make someone bad at it....that's just not logical.
