I had a similar experience but I don’t really regret choosing not to skip grades. I didn’t really bloom socially until I hit university either but I think being a 14 year-old freshman would have probably changed how that played out.
Just a side note that mine wasn't about skipping grades, it was a gifted program with other kids my own age. No idea how it would've played out years down the line, but that was how it worked early on where I was.
