This happens in a smaller way with access to prenatal testing and abortions. Parents with access to those things are at least able to detect and avoid the more debilitating birth defect, while parents without access are more likely to have a child with a severe birth defect. If they’re already struggling materially, that can sometimes guarantee that both the parents and child will have no upward mobility.

Those are paraphrases of Kirk’s words. It might be more accurate to say those are his positions.

The solution to social phobia isn’t to design your life around avoiding people. It’s fine if you prefer to spend time alone, but it’s important to be able to tolerate even the experiences you dislike the most. I might feel great suffering when I have to do math, but it’s important that I’m able to do some basic calculations when I have to.

It sounds like your aversion to being around people is causing some serious disruptions in important parts of your life, like eating meals. I promise that continuing to avoid people will not make the problem go away. I’m a big advocate for therapy. It might sound impossible to you since it involves talking to someone for extended periods of time, but therapists are there to listen without judgement, and to help you have an easier time in life.
