Comment on A lot of societies problems would be solved if they taught about forming healthy relationships in school.

Read generously, OP’s point can be taken to refer to relationships generally, i.e. social skills. A lack of engagement with dating in and of itself doesn’t point to someone being sick or deficient, it could indicate any number of things. I don’t think there’s anything implied about judging individuals here.

A societal trend of young people having fewer healthy interpersonal relationships at all is troubling. We’re a social species living in a world that requires a certain amount of cooperation both for societal function and individual wellbeing.

Social isolation is a killer, both in terms of its effects on the person isolated and to society at large via the actions of (a statistically higher proportion of) those who are socially isolated.

A call for ameliorative measures against such a trend is not a personal attack on anyone.
