Hey! I have a really fun idea: lets just control every aspect of a child's life to the point where we take away every potentially negative psychological harm when they're kids. It will be utopian, everyone will get along with every and have exactly the same friendship status. That way (this is the best part) when they're adults they'll have no fucking idea how to deal with anyone isn't honest or polite 100% of the time because we've deprived them of every opportunity to learn how.
Some people are assholes and they're always going to be assholes (maybe they were born that way?), kids need to learn about how to deal with them.
This would have been devastating to me as a child. My childhood wasn't defined by a huge group of friends, it was a long series of few very close friendships. I hate being in a room with more than about 3 people it. It drains me and I just want to leave. The most dreaded social experiences of my adolescence were dances and parties. I don't carry on conversations, I am perfectly comfortable with silence. I did not fit in, I did not want to fit in. I'd rather have been home reading a book.
