There's an episode of "The Simpsons" where Bart asks Homer, "Dad, is being popular important?" Homer replies, "It the most important thing there is." (Lol) I'm not a parent, but I can't see anything wrong with hoping your kids won't struggle socially. Personally, I wish my own parents had given me more help with social skills. But, we're shy Minnesotans, so maybe that would be expecting too much.
He is only in the 7th grade so he has a lot of growing up to do. The real personalities of kids emerge after they are done physically growing because how we are treated by the outside world, how "popular" we are, how attractive we are in sexual/romantic terms depends on our physical attractiveness.
Just to give you my own example, I was a very extroverted, popular kid until I was 12. Then everyone started growing taller and more attractive, while I ended up being a 5'6 mediocre looking scrawny kid at 16. That totally changed my extroversion and personality.
I hope your son grows up to be really handsome, well built and tall. The looks and height standards that young men face today are insanely high and they keep getting higher. Young men miss out on a lot of life experiences if they're not great looking and tall. From dating apps, hookup culture, university life, clubbing, etc, everything requires you to be a good looking guy nowadays.
“He’s a Taurus with a Leo moon and Aries rising, what do you expect?”
...that sounds about right, though! lol.
It does!
