I spent some time in group therapy when I was giving up alcohol, and I found it really useful for working on precisely the 'cons' that you raise. I think part of functioning in the world is learning how to erect barriers that protect us from the emotions of others, and finding our sense of worth in ourselves, instead of in the praise/criticism of others. I found the group worked best for me if I thought of it as a laboratory in which to try on different ways of interacting with others. In a sense, we were all each other's lab rats.
