Why do you need a cerebral solution? Isn't trial by fire good enough?

Everyone looked like an idiot as a child learning to socialize. Enough exposure, criticism, praise, etc will curb your actions away from looking like an idiot. You just need to adjust your self image and realize that looking like an idiot at that specific time does not mean that you can't learn adapt and look like a socially adept human at a future time.
