    Not all of us “enjoyed” being forced. You need to encourage healthy social skills on their level and in a way they are comfortable. Forcing oftentimes leaves the more socially inept people having issues of anxiety or bullying.

      Point taken. I realize I was lucky in the area of bullying. Either I never was a tempting target, my school didn’t have many bullies, or both. Looking back, I think some people tried to bully me a little and it flew over my head. Kind of hilarious in hindsight.
