isn't mediated social interaction like trying to learn to cook by going to a restaurant? well, at least you'll know what it should taste like.

- hateduser2 9y agoAgreed. I think “learning to be social” is the opposite of the point of being social, which is only good so long as you’re trying to authentically connect with people. Seems like anything else is evil. And so authentically connecting with people shouldn’t require training! It should be as natural as being itself. That’s just my POV anyways... The extent of socializing that should be “learned” is recognizing things that may be confusing or upsetting. Nothing more. But by god and by no means should it ever be learning to act cool and by god not learning to lie about yourself. Those are extremely antisocial behaviors.
