    Yeah, a lot of people are basically raised by a screen and were never forced to develop enough social skills to function in basic society.

      Most humans are born with social skills prebaked into their brains. Almost all of your interactions are handled at a subconscious level.

      Then there is the few of us that are Autistic and lack the socializing instincts. We just flounder around and figure things out as we go.

      Why do you need to be forced by society to develop social skills? Why isn’t putting your best forward enough? For various real reasons, some people just aren’t able to meet the standard forced upon them.

      Trauma plays a big role in some that have trouble communicating. Instead of blaming people for being “raised by a screen”, practice kindness and compassion. Do your part to make this world more inclusive, accessible, and less traumatizing for all individuals, or don’t - up to you.
