What about creating a condominium populated by social phobics?

Have you ever thought of how it would be? I mean a condominium populated entirely by social-phobics, maybe with a nice garden in front of, a sort of oriented co-housing.
I don't know. I had this really strange idea, and i wanted to share it with you of this forum. If this place existed, would we improve our condition?or it'd get worse?

Worse. Most of the time people would avoid each other, have subpar social skills so harder to learn right social behavior. There will be small group of social and chatty within housing. This place is working for them but for most even this presence will make them feel more sa and stupid because it appears some sa people can be ok doing social stuff.

I think if all were social phobics then eventually they would develop their social skills back thru communication and understanding of peers.
Biggest problem with having social phobia is the fact that one think that people around him are "normal" and socially calibrated.

I forget where I read this -- and I apologize if it sounds like a joke, which it isn't -- but I heard that loneliness spreads like an illness. Hanging with lonely people makes one more lonely, and this is one reason why lonely people tend to be excluded and isolated. In other words, one tends to push away a person who seems lonely and isolated, and one must do this to avoid becoming like them.

That would just be another excuse to avoid the real world and getting much needed exposure, thus making things worse.
