Taylor struggles to make friends. She is very socially awkward and is not sure what to say when meeting new people. She is passionate about anime, and there is an anime club at her school. Her parents encourage her to join, thinking it could help her socially. Does this sound like a good idea?
Answer
A
No, only groups with a focus on social skills are likely to be helpful in Taylor’s case.
B
No, Taylor will probably be just as socially awkward in that setting.
C
Yes, even groups that are not designed to build social skills can provide social benefits.
D
Yes, it guarantees that Taylor will make friends and be comfortable in social settings.
Explanation
Joining an anime club could give Taylor a comfortable way to meet people who share her interests. Even though the club is not specifically designed to teach social skills, taking part in a shared activity can create opportunities to talk and build friendships. It may help, but it cannot guarantee that she will make friends or feel comfortable right away.
