Someday, I would like to see a thread in which people encourage highly social, extraverted kids to spend several days entirely on their own, with no people to talk to or social events to participate in, just to help them get over their fear of being by themselves.

After all, there will be situations in life where they will have to cope with being alone and not socializing, such as, for example, during periods of heavy studying for college exams.

Of course, such an experience would be way outside of the kid’s comfort zone, but doing things out of one’s comfort zone is how kids learn to deal with life.
