My skills in diplomacy always seams to drop. Even if my king has level four diplomacy, I usually ends up with one or two. What am I doing wrong?

A 4 is low. If u mean 4 dots, that's prolly 7 or upwards. Look in the ledger for how good he actually is.
What do u mean 1 or 2 ?
Anyway money helps relations and not being a badboy. IF u go and annex half of Europe the other half won't like u much

Sorry if I was indistinct.
In the monarch information, there are first three skills in a box:
Diplomacy, Trade and War. I suppose these stats are the monarchs skills? In my example, I meant that the monarch hade four green dot under the diplomacy symbol.
Then below these there are more symbols and dots. I suppose this is how I (the country) is doing. Here we have another diplomacy symbol. In front of that one I usually have one (red) or two (orange) dots. These seams to drop from a higher level during the game, which e.g. makes it harder to diplo-annex. How do I avoid this to drop?

By my experience it becomes more difficult to do something (e.g. diplo annex). But if you say I'm wrong I guess I just have to accept (don't argue with someone that have 10* more post that you)

I haven't noticed any real difference and I played a lot. Just empirically based, it's not written in stone. However see the newbie thread, look for the part on diplo anexing, a lot of factors play.
The ones listed along with economy/military strength etc., if those are the ones you mean, are a measure of how popular you are with other countries (I think).
The snag is, they're not an absolute measure, but a comparison of your overall popularity against that of other countries. Since the AI nations tend to send diplomatic gifts round and round in circles, keeping their relations with each other at a fairly high level, but never give any money to you, they always wind up with better overall relations than you have. So in the long run, those diplomatic dots will always disappear. It doesn't really matter a fig, unless you're trying for Holy Roman Emperor in which case you need to be relatively popular with central European countries.
I would prefer if these dots where a measuer of how you where doing your diplomacy. I guess I should stop to worry over them any more.
Yep. The only ones which are even vaguely important and land and naval military strength. If you have only one dot in those areas, it means somebody out there can kick some serious butt with you
Of course, if you're playing Austria, you probably don't care that you have the worst navy in the world
