What skills are needed for healthy relationships?

Interpersonal skills - These are defined as the ability to make connections with others. This is important in making new connections and building on existing ones. This includes finding common interests and showing mutual respect and interest in a person's ideas, opinions, and thoughts.
Non-verbal communication skills - Non-verbal communication is so important. It shows people that you are actively listening to them by making eye contact or leaning into the conversation. Our mannerisms whether intentional or unintentional can really affect how a person feels in a conversation with you.
Verbal communication skills - Being able to communicate your ideas, thoughts and feelings effectively can build a level of trust and deepen any relationship.
Mutuality - This is an important part of healthy relationships. You should place value on the other person and their contribution to the relationship and you should mutually engage in contributing to the relationship. All relationships require a mutual responsibility to each other.
Emotional intelligence - Being able to not only recognize emotions in yourself and others, allows you to build an even deeper connection with friends and family. This emotional intelligence should also carry with it a deep empathy toward others.
