>>81653958If I didn't have the internet, I might force myself to be more sociable. I went to this hackspace last week because I needed a laser printer. I was perfectly fine and sociable when I was there, can make jokes and be witty (or at least as much as those around me), not feel the dread of being around people because I was already there, etc. I put a 20 in the donation box for the use of their space before I left, was told to register and come back for the next meet-up, but I didn't have any interest to keep going, even if one of them explicitly said to go even if I wasn't working on something. I just don't care to be sociable and meeting new people.
I'm very lucky that I can get away without talking to people much at my job. Right now during the summer there's not a lot to do, so I'm just watching movies and TV shows at work to kill time before I can clock off. It's great. I realized in my 20's that there aren't a lot of jobs I can really do long-term. I would legitimately rather scrub toilets for 3 hours than have to chat with people for... 45 minutes. I can only do jobs that don't involve being around people, or at least you aren't expected to talk to those around you. I get to listen to music, podcasts and eBooks when I'm at work, I am truly fortunate.
I don't really put much stock into psychology though, especially after that whole reproducibility in psychology thing I read about years ago. People who prefer being solitary and don't miss their friends or family were probably just abused as kids. I match some of the bullet-points in the OP image and none of the others, it just reads like the astrology section of the newspaper.
