It’s not just socialization I’m talking about, though that was an issue too in my case (in college and early adult life I was awkward and socially inexperienced in a way nobody else around me was).

It’s also exposure to people from different backgrounds and walks of life, exposure to different points of view and ways of thinking, street smarts, etc… homeschooling kept me in a tiny bubble that became apparent when I started talking with people on the internet and especially when I went to college, and it would take many years to remedy the resulting utter cluelessness about the real world.
