Socially Challenged

I came across this term when I was googling for articles on depression. I never knew such a thing existed, until I read a few articles and comments from specialist doctors.

Definitions:
Someone who doesn't talk much. People usually tend to not even notice them when in a conversation with multiple people. [Urban Dictionary]

Communication is a very important part of socialising. And not being able to talk does give you a disadvantage. I always believed that talking is just one way of communicating and there are other equally effective ways of expressing oneself, until recently. In one of the episodes of Splitsvilla on MTV, one of the female contestants said that she would not even look at the guy who can't talk. This is one hard statement, but I think its quite true.

The treatment??? Experts say, 'Keep saying that you are not socially challenged' and go out and talk.

Are you socially challenged?
