Abstract Learning disability in young adults is becoming more prominent as a multifaceted consequence that is influenced not just by cognitive factors but also by social and emotional environments. There are various forms of learning disabilities, executive functioning, and working memory deficits that are widespread in college-age populations because these skills are essential for planning, organizing, processing information, maintaining focus, remembering directions, and handling academic demands. This study aims to investigate how social mockery experienced by young adults in educational and peer group settings can result to increased levels of social isolation, which in turn contributes to the increased chance of developing learning disability patterns, particularly related to executive functioning and working memory difficulties. Social mockery usually triggers feelings of embarrassment, an inferiority complex, fear of being judged and poor academic self-image. As a result, young adults begin to socially withdraw from classroom participation, peer learning environments, group discussions, and collaborative activities, leading to acute social isolation. This isolation reduces opportunities for cognitive stimulation, peer learning, academic engagement, and support-seeking behavior.The results may contribute to developing preventive interventions based on peer environment modification, stigma reduction, emotional support building, and inclusion-based academic approaches for young adults.
