Ask HN: Why is machine learning easier to learn than basic social skills?

(and any advice on acquiring these basic social skills?) A year of haphazardly watching YouTube videos and reading papers and I learned enough to start contributing to real research. But 18 years of human interaction and I'm still missing out on social skills apparently. It's like everyone else has a degree in all these unwritten rules that I'm just supposed to know.
