Hmm. I don't remember any specific advice, per se, but my parents are both extraverts and were more than happy to lead by example, or to offer specific advice if teen-me bothered to ask. I read a lot as a kid, and later gamed a lot, and I think this confused them - especially my dad - in terms of, like, the quality of friendships that I went on to develop? But I wasn't particularly unhappy as long as I had books, so I think they just sort of went with it.
