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.
Why do you need to be forced by society to develop social skills?
Social skills is another way of saying the abilities required to function in a society. You might as well ask why do you need to learn to swim to get in the pool.
Why isn’t putting your best forward enough?
Often it is, but to stretch the metaphor used above, they are going to be stuck in the shallow end.

Even if one is uninhibited socially, it’s unrealistic to expect them to be able to function how society often dictates or requires.
Last I checked, this world is pretty cruel, especially to those who are vulnerable.
Listen, Im over here wearing my floaties, watching sales people doing a triple gainer off the high-dive. I’m not trying to pretend to be especially good with the social skills. All I’m saying is water is wet. Some people have an affinity to those sorts of skills, some don’t. Some people work at it. Some can’t. Everyone has to at least bathe though. That’s a metaphor, but also not.
Some people need floaties to stay afloat. Some people need a life jacket. Some people need a solid platform to dip their feet in. Some people fucking melt when they touch water. Whatever accommodation they need or whatever their situation, it’s all perfectly acceptable in my book.
We can help them to thrive without breaking a sweat with our empathy, technology, and ingenuity.
You are incredibly judgmental over something you clearly have never experienced. Just because something is trivial for you doesn’t mean it isn’t hard for someone else. Don’t be so quick to judge.
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.
