Not the parent, but it could mean that for some reason (biological, environmental or otherwise) some people don't receive as much pleasure from social contact as others. It could run the scale from mere introversion to pathological. To my knowledge there isn't a pill you can take that makes you more interested in a particular topic. (Although, when I think about it, anhedonia could be a symptom of depression so it could be addressed with medication. But some people don't have motivation to pursue treatment.) Also, if one's social skills are lacking it's even harder to get treatment, if it's difficult to articulate the problem or why a stranger should care about them. One's social standards for failure could be set so high as a result of their past that only an AI or other parasocial method could be designed to clear them.
