Assuming fear doesn't completely paralyze you in social situations: social awareness and social skills can be developed through trial and error practice by just going out there and socializing. Using compartmentaliazble groups through something like meetup.com rather than work circles is best, cause if you do something really crazy you can easily press the reset button.
It is definitely helpful to have done the requisite red/ orange work else you're also going to be thrust into that sort of catalyst as well in these situations.
Another important realization I think for yellow ray stuff is to learn social skills but also learn them in such a way that your personality shines through. I like to think of it that everyone has an intersection of true personality traits and interests that are genuinely enjoyed and valued socially by groups. Once you learn the basic yellow ray skills, it's about finding the intersection of things you and others both enjoy in social situations and bringing about that interaction. However remote it might seem, there is going to be an intersection between your true personality&interests and another's personality&interests, and usually this varies based on type of people. Experience will help you with this.
For example, personality wise, the topics of interest when I talk to an environmentalist varies than when I talk to ex military. Similarly, personality wise I'm usually a bit more sappy-hippy with environmental types and usually a bit more crude with military types. They are all true aspects of my personality and interests that come out to play depending on who I'm talking to.
Yellow ray stuff can actually get pretty complex and I encourage everyone to go out there and do it. Probably the hardest ray to develop alone is yellow ray. So it's definitely worth it.
