> You're not born knowing how to interact with others socially; it is learned.
I disagree. As I've grown older, it has startled me to observe the degree to which personality is innate, or inherited. I used to believe we were born tabula rasa, but since raising children and burying my parents, I see that my earlier opinions were absurd.
Well, obviously not many! They haven't learned to communicate, which is a bit fundamental to having social skills.
But they end up with personalities that were NOT trained into them. I don't know what is 'nature' and what is 'nurture', but I do know that kids arrive with their own personality, even if you can't yet discern it in the newborn infant.
