A person's social development follows a unique timeline.
Social connection is not a race or a competition. Feeling lonely is a common experience, not a personal flaw.
A person's social timeline is unique. Some people make friends early in life. Others find close friends later. This difference in timing is normal. It does not mean a person has failed. A person's social life does not need to look like stories from movies or books. It is okay for a person to find their social connections at any age.

This lesson helps the student understand that their social timeline is just different. The student will find new friends when the time is right for them.
