One Direction say fame has given them social skills

One Direction believe that being in the spotlight has forced their social skills to become better.

The lads were unknowns in the business before being pieced together on the UK X Factor in 2010.

They have since gone onto achieve global fame and Liam Payne told We Love Pop that it has dramatically helped his social ability.

He said: "I think for me - and for you, Zayn - we weren't that confident and because you have to talk to so many people it gives you so many more people skills. When I used to go to family parties as a kid I couldn't hold a conversation. Even with my own uncle. So it's nice that I've now got those skills."

Zayn Malik meanwhile, who is often regarded as the quietest member of the group, added:

"It's really built our confidence and our social skills. We do find it a bit easier to carry ourselves and speak to people - it's cool."
