There are programs to help developmentally disabled people, like people with autism, to learn social cues, politeness and related things. Should very shy kids be able to get this kind of help, even if they are not in a special needs learning category? I'm wondering if I would have been better off if I had a resource in school that helped me with my shyness/speaking deficiencies. I did well in school by doing well at written exams, but that obviously doesn't prepare you for most careers.

One thing I've learnt is that if there is something in life that you are not happy with and there are no resources out there to deal with, maybe you are the one to set it up. Gandhi said 'be the change you wish to see in the world'. It's what entrepreneurs do, they see a gap in the market, something that isn't currently being done or maybe it is something already being done but they know they can do it better; and they go and create it/improve it. The examples of support groups that you gave didn't always exist, someone out there had to be the person to take that first step and set them up or at least plant the idea in somebody else's mind. |
