Agree to disagree. Not exposing yourself to social interaction and human touch (basic needs for humans) causes long term social and mental difficulties

Sure but no one said anything about long term lack of exposure.

That's the only way it can be taken. Social skills .. are skills you develop over time of being social. If your only social interaction is online, your social skills in real life will be more difficult.

Of course, and if your only cooking experience is with a microwave you're not going to be good at cooking.

But we're not talking about someone who only does one thing. Online socializing is still a type of socializing and it's definitely more healthy than no socializing at all.
