Anecdotally, most current or former homeschooled kids I meet seem pretty socially awkward. I wonder if It’s because the miss-out on the opportunity to learn how to socialize properly as children. But maybe I’m being too critical, idk.

I saw this question asked before and my answer is still the same. I have never met a homeschooled person who wasn’t a fucking idiot. Do with that what you will.
Working engineer with a bachelor’s and a master’s degree 👋. I credit an older sister who got into the world first who gave warning to us younger ones and the good sense to listen to her advice. I can clock a homeschooler a mile out but the well educated, well socialized ones have put in a lot of effort to get there and I won’t out them if they don’t want to be. The well-adjusted ones don’t talk about it much, same as a public school educated person wouldn’t bring up their grade school experience frequently.
Cool. I’ve met several who went to Harvard, MIT, etc and were extremely successful in life.
You’ve met many people who introduced themselves as homeschooled who were what you describe. You’ve interacted with many more who did not make their school history their whole personality.
I didn’t mean to say all homeschooled people are stupid. Only the ones I met.
